Forest neighborhood family + cosmetic practice
Smyleee Rating
Excellent
Emily J. Schaefer, DDS on West Delavan Avenue in the Forest neighborhood is a Buffalo cosmetic-and-general practice serving the Elmwood Village and west Buffalo residential corridor. The office combines cosmetic dentistry — porcelain veneers, professional whitening, bonding repairs, smile makeovers — with the broader general-dentistry scope under a named-doctor model. The named-owner setup keeps continuity across cosmetic cases from initial consultation through final delivery without provider rotation between visits.
Patients searching for a cosmetic dentist in Buffalo, NY, dental bonding for chipped tooth in Buffalo, or veneers and whitening package in Buffalo can find a focused cosmetic workup here, with porcelain veneers, composite veneers, in-office whitening, and dental bonding handled in-house, plus structured multi-visit smile makeover treatment plans for patients pursuing a more substantial aesthetic change.
If you live in the Forest neighborhood, in the Elmwood Village, or in the broader west Buffalo residential corridor and want a named-doctor cosmetic practice rather than a larger group, Dr. Schaefer's Delavan Avenue office is a sensible starting point.
Cost-wise, Emily J. Schaefer, DDS runs in the standard mid-to-upper range for a Buffalo cosmetic practice — porcelain veneer cases are quoted as multi-visit packages with material and longevity trade-offs walked through up front, and bonding or whitening visits are priced in the typical Buffalo cosmetic range. For west Buffalo and Elmwood Village patients comparing cosmetic dental options at a small named-doctor practice, this clinic belongs on the shortlist alongside other Delavan Avenue cosmetic offices. The dual general-dentistry side keeps pricing on routine restorative work in the standard insurance-accepted range, and the named-owner or boutique setup keeps continuity of provider through the multi-visit case rather than rotating between dentists. Cosmetic consultations include a structured planning step before any veneer work, with the porcelain-versus-composite material trade-off walked through up front rather than defaulting to whichever option carries the higher fee. Cosmetic consultations here typically include a structured shade-and-tooth-shape preview before any veneer work begins, and photo records of prior cases are kept on file for patients to review during planning.
Emily J. Schaefer, DDS on West Delavan Avenue in the Forest neighborhood is a Buffalo cosmetic and general dental practice offering veneers, whitening, bonding, and smile makeovers alongside routine care.

Since coming to this office, my oral health has never been better. I have lived in several different states, and Dr. Emily and her staff are by far the best dental practice I have ever been to. They are kind and incredibly professional. They see you within minutes of signing in and the patient experience is superb. They walk you through everything they're about to do and are very gentle with their work. I can't say enough good things about this practice so I'll just keep recommending them to all my friends and family!
Dr. Schaefer and her team only get 5 stars because they won't let me give them 6! I broke a tooth and had an extensive overseas trip in a few days. They worked me in, did a fantastic job on the tooth, and were super professional throughout. I cannot recommend this office highly enough.
Dr. Emily and staff immediately make you feel like family upon arriving for your first visit. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Nothing like dentistries I’ve been to in the past. Located in a wonderful part of Buffalo, plenty of parking. Couldn’t ask for anything better.
This is the best dentist office in Buffalo. She is incredibly thorough, the staff are wonderful. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Dr. Emily and her staff are amazing! They provide an excellent patient experience. You're greeted (usually by name) with a friendly smile as soon as you walk in. They always seem to run on time and I've never waited more than 5 minutes for my appointment. I had a recent dental "urgency" and they were very accommodating. You don't get this kind of service at the franchise dental offices. Highly recommend Dr. Emily!
