Happy Smile Pediatric Dentistry is a children’s dental practice located in the Penthouse suite at 220 Madison Avenue in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan, New York. The practice specializes in pediatric and orthodontic care, offering a full range of dental services for children and adolescents from their earliest dental visits through the teenage years.
Preventive pediatric services include professional dental cleanings, dental x-rays, oral cancer screenings, and dental sealants. Sealants are applied to the chewing surfaces of developing molars to reduce the risk of cavities in children who are identified as being at higher risk of decay. The clinical team instructs young patients directly on proper brushing technique during hygiene appointments, making each visit an opportunity for patient education as well as preventive care.
Restorative and specialty services include tooth decay treatment, dental fillings, and orthodontic care. Orthodontic options include both Invisalign clear aligners and traditional braces, with treatment planning for adolescent patients whose permanent teeth have fully erupted. Teeth whitening and cosmetic dentistry services are available for older teenage patients. The broad service range allows most patients to receive ongoing care at a single practice as they grow from childhood into adolescence.
Dentists at this practice work at a pace suited to young patients, including those sitting in the dental chair for the first time. Treatment options are explained clearly to both the child and the parent, with the pros and cons of each approach discussed before any decision is made. Parents with concerns about treatment recommendations are invited to ask questions, and the clinical team addresses these directly and without pressure.
The Madison Avenue location in Murray Hill is convenient to transit options throughout Midtown and the Upper East Side, with the 33rd Street station a short walk away. Families from Murray Hill, Midtown, and neighboring Manhattan areas can contact the practice through the information on this page to schedule a first pediatric dental visit or an orthodontic consultation for a child or teenager.

Pediatric dentistry covers the care a growing smile needs — first visits, cleanings, fluoride, sealants, and gentle cavity treatment for children.
Orthodontic care assesses how the teeth and bite are developing and guides each patient toward the treatment that best fits their goals.
Invisalign straightens teeth with a series of clear, removable aligners — a discreet alternative to braces for adults and teens.
Traditional braces use fixed brackets and wires to correct crowding, gaps, and bite problems across a wide range of cases.
Cosmetic dentistry at Happy Smile Pediatric Dentistry improves the appearance of a smile through treatments such as whitening and veneers, planned around each patient's goals.

My kids have been seeing Dr.Julie for 18 years and I am so happy my 18 year old still has a few more years with her! She’s always very thorough, explains everything to all of us and has a nurturing, warmth to her personality. She’s really patient with young kids and is very knowledgeable about dentistry. I recommend her to my friends and new parents. Really great office!
Took my 9 year old son here and I couldn’t be happier. Dr. Shea was great at explaining that my son had high risks in getting cavities so he recommended sealants to protect him from getting them. He even taught my little one how to brush his teeth properly . I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who’s looking for a pediatric dentistry. The staff is amazing the receptionists are very welcoming and very helpful when it comes to booking appointments. The assistant was very sweet and wonderful. In general it was just an amazing experience!!!
Dr. Julie is absolutely incredible. She is highly knowledgeable, extremely professional, and excellent with kids, especially with their first experience in the dentist’s chair. She just has an incredible ability to make kids feel comfortable and cooperate for their exam. She’s also very conservative in her management, and forthright about expectations of treatment. She provides options, gives the pros and cons of each, and makes the treatment decision with parents and kids in mind. Her office staff and facility is also very pleasant and kid friendly. My kids actually look forward to going into her office. I cannot praise her highly enough, and I’m very glad that my family found her For our dental needs.
Dr. Shea from Happy Smile Pediatric Dentist is the best pediatric specialist we have encountered in our 11 years living in NYC. He is highly skilled in his craft, astute, patient, observant and he remembers all of Our previous conversations over the years. He spends a full 30 minutes (no checking on other patients or quick phone calls); he talks us through everything that’s going on and patiently repeats himself as many times as my kids ask him to. He does his best to minimize procedures but when he has to, he moves quickly and makes sure everyone understands what’s happening. His staff is lovely. The whole office is warm and inviting. My kids enjoy going. We can get appointments in a timely manner. Happy smile makes it easy and does it all so well. 10/10 highly recommend
Dr. Kim was amazing with my 4-year-old son! He was nervous at first, but Dr. Kim was so patient and gentle with him. She made him feel comfortable and the visit went great. We’re really grateful to have found such a kind and caring pediatric dentist!
