Root canal and general care near Grand Central
Smyleee Rating
Rated
Howard N. Aaronson, DDS is a dental practice located at 30 East 40th Street in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Midtown Manhattan, New York. The practice focuses on general dentistry and root canal treatment, with sedation options available for patients managing dental anxiety or requiring extended procedures.
Root canal treatment is a central service at this practice. Dr. Aaronson approaches endodontic procedures with attention to patient comfort throughout: findings are explained clearly before any treatment begins, patients are prepared for what to expect during the procedure, and post-procedure follow-up contact is standard for cases that require monitoring during recovery. The practice has handled complex root canal cases involving patients with specific allergies, adapting protocols to accommodate individual medical needs.
General dentistry services form the broader foundation of the practice, covering routine examinations, cleanings, and common restorative needs. The practice maintains diagnostic equipment that supports accurate assessment, and the cost of this technology is not passed on to patients as a separate line item — a feature noted by patients familiar with other dental practices that charge separately for advanced diagnostics.
Sedation dentistry is available for patients who experience significant anxiety around dental treatment, allowing procedures including root canal therapy to be completed with reduced stress and physical tension. Patients who expected a stressful experience have found the care at this practice to be calm and controlled by comparison.
The East 40th Street location is in Murray Hill, a few blocks from Grand Central Terminal and the 42nd Street–Bryant Park and 42nd Street–Port Authority transit hubs.

Dr. Aaronson and his assistant were great at easing any anxiety I had during my root canal. I was nervous going into it and I felt more relaxed about it once I was in their office. I do have an odd allergy I had to keep reminding them about but they accommodated it. We thought I may have had an issue with the allergy after my root canal and dr aaronson called me everyday after to see how I was doing. Their care for their patient’s needs is clearly paramount in their practice
Best dental specialist I have ever met! I've been practicing for over 12 years and Dr. A is a rare gem! He is an excellent clinician and has rare technologies (he doesn't even pass the cost on to patients - weird). He is genuinely concerned about the health of patients and the viability of their teeth. He is considerate of his patient's fears and is very kind to his staff. As a former employee I have to say that I wish more people were like this.
Dr Aaronson is great! He is knowledgeable, patient, answered all of my questions, and effectively managed all of my dental anxiety. Disregard all of the negative reviews and do not think twice about using him.
It was my first root canal and I was a bit scared but once I met Dr. Aaronson and saw his professionalism I was reassured and knew Inwas in good hands. It was absolutely painless and so fast! I highly recommend Thank you to you Dr. Aaronson and your great assistant!
Dr. Aaronson and his staff were very helpful and detail. I did a root canal with no difficulties, pain or discomforts.
