Very Good
Edward A. Alvarez DDS, PC is a Midtown East Manhattan practice on East 40th Street (Suite 1002, NY 10016), led by Dr. Edward A. Alvarez. The practice positions itself around laser dentistry and digital workflows — Dr. Alvarez has been a Fellow of the World Clinical Laser Institute since 2005 and completed CEREC Mastery Training in 2009, with the practice running 100% digital and paperless. The technology depth is unusual for a single-doctor practice and signals an explicit modernisation focus across imaging, restorative, and cosmetic work.
For technology-driven care, the practice offers Waterlase laser dentistry, CEREC same-day dental crowns, and CBCT 3D low-radiation imaging. Cosmetic dentistry covers porcelain veneers, smile makeovers, and professional teeth whitening. Restorative work includes dental implants and the cosmetic restorative crossover work that patients pair with broader cosmetic plans. Orthodontic treatment is offered via Invisalign clear aligners. Holistic dentistry is a notable specialty for the practice, suiting patients researching dental work approached with attention to systemic health considerations. Dental sleep apnea treatment, teeth grinding solutions, and sports mouthguards are part of the in-house service mix. Botox and dermal filler services are also offered alongside the dental work.
If you want a Midtown East practice with explicit laser dentistry credentials, CEREC same-day capability, and a holistic-dentistry track, this fits.
The clinic uses the Dexis CariVu infrared cavity detector for X-ray-free cavity diagnosis, alongside digital X-rays and a 100% paperless workflow. Dr. Alvarez introduced Waterlase laser technology to the practice in 2003 and CEREC in 2009, ahead of broader market adoption.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Alvarez for more than 15 years, and I truly owe him my smile and my peace of mind. When I first came to his practice, I had a severe dental phobia. I would physically shake in the chair and had let my gum health decline out of fear. Dr. Alvarez was unfailingly kind, patient, and gentle. He never rushed, never judged, and always explained every step with care. Because of his expertise and compassion, my gums and overall dental health have completely transformed. More than that, I now go to the dentist regularly without fear and actually look forward to my visits. His front office staff is equally wonderful: kind, accommodating, and always willing to help with scheduling when my work life gets hectic. Dr. Alvarez is an exceptional dentist and an exceptional human being. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.
Dr. Alvarez is one of the most knowledgeable and friendliest dentists I ever encountered! My family used to go to a different dentist who unfortunately did not do good work, and Dr. Alvarez was able to fix everything. Now we don’t have the same recurring issues with our teeth. Very friendly office. Highly recommend, would not trust anyone else other than Dr. Alvarez.
Man one year ago he said at some point its gotta go so today is that day woke with a pain that was worst then a gun shot wound alvarez is like superman behind the light made me feel superb throughout that pain after it felt like disney land man dont ever let your teeth get an abcess . That hits different .stay clean stay sharp and always have that beautiful smile cuz only dr alvarez can give u that feeling from the Soul ! He truly cares
I came to have Dr. Alvarez work on a whole mouth dental reconstruction. It was a great experience. He made me feel very comfortable and explained in detail the preliminary plan. You immediately trust in his abilities. I'll follow up with after impressions or pictures when job is done. But I am glad I finally got started with Dr. Alvarez! You should too!
This man is an artist, he will treat your mouth as a work of art and make sure you are smiling when you leave. He is genius, in demand, and offers everything from teeth, to facials which I have gotten and LOVED!
