About Methal Dental Arts of Park Slope
Methal Dental Arts of Park Slope provides dental care on 9th Street in Brooklyn, New York. Dentists commonly treat mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea with a custom oral appliance that repositions the jaw to keep the airway open overnight, often used by patients who cannot tolerate a CPAP machine. A sleep study is generally the starting point for diagnosis.
Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.
Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.
Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.
Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

I highly recommend Dr. Shane. His office staff was very friendly and helpful. Dr. Shane took his time to explain what needed to be done to resolve my dental issues. He gets 5 stars for communicating with me during every step of the procedure. I left the office feeling optimistic about the future of my dental care.
Absolutely painless dentist. Great dental assistant. Professional office staff. I was seen on time, no waiting. This was my 10th visit here.
Very thorough and thoughtful! Dr. Methal does the cleaning himself too!
Everyone is very nice and the dental cleaning was quick and as comfortable as could be (having hands and instruments in your mouth can never be too comfy).
Dr Methal and his entire team are great - apparently I wrote some things (see below) praising him but never posted them. Let's try again. Dr Methal is wonderful. I've long since gotten over the proverbial fear of dentists, but if I hadn't, Dr Methal would have eased any fears I may have had! He's warm, but very professional, knows his stuff. I love his new location. And, by the way, his staff is also fabulous I wrote the above last year and never hit "post" so now I can add that I had an emergency over the Labor Day weekend and Dr Methal was on the case as soon as I wrote to him!
Beautiful spa like office that makes you feel at ease as soon as you walk in. Dr. Shane is a wonderful dentist with a lovely bedside manner! And he does his own cleanings!
The best dentist I’ve ever been to hands down! I’ve been seeing Dr. Shane since I moved back to the neighborhood and I’m so happy I found him. He has now replaced 3 old fillings that were giving me issues and the teeth look brand new. I was nervous about getting the old fillings replaced bc they were deep but he took time and talked through everything with me and made me feel so much better. He notices everything and could tell I was getting nervous during the first filling and gave me a stress ball to squeeze. Couldn’t recommend him more!
Excellent dental care for our daughter. She had an emergency and Dr. Methal took care of her over several visits. He’s very thorough and personable and his staff was excellent and helped with insurance processing.
This was my first time at this office and it was a delight! The space is very clean, bright, and welcoming. The staff is wonderful and very attentive. Dr. Shane is a great time! He is the perfect amount of relatable, thorough, and realistic. I hadnt been to a dentist in FAR too long and he was very kind about it. He walked me through all the concerning things he found and helped me decipher which were the most urgent. He never pressured me for more work nor made it seem like he was trying to get me to do anything unnecessary. I had a great experience, will be back and will recommend this office to my friends!
Dr. Shane is the best dentist I’ve had in a long time. Everyone there is professional, talented, and overall do a fantastic job. They all make you feel comfortable in his office and everyone there has a super friendly demeanor. He also only makes the best recommendations for you — no mysterious cavities that randomly appear. I would’ve written a review sooner, but I really just wanted to keep them a hidden gem for myself… but they deserve the public praise!
