Open Sesame Dentistry

Open Sesame Dentistry is a pediatric specialty practice on Amsterdam Avenue in the Upper West Side of Manhattan (191 Amsterdam Ave, NY 10023), led by Dr. Suzanne Grady. The practice operates as a children-only practice with Dr. Grady personally providing all diagnoses and treatments — meaning continuity with a single pediatric dentist across years of regular visits, which suits parents who want to build the same dentist-patient relationship for their kids that they themselves had growing up.

For routine pediatric care, the team handles infant oral health consulting, routine check-ups and cleanings, dental fillings using BPA-free composite resin, dental sealants, and fluoride treatments. Restorative work covers tooth extractions, with emergency dentistry available for sudden tooth pain or trauma. Orthodontic evaluation runs as part of routine pediatric care, with the HealthyStart System available for early-intervention orthodontic-and-airway development cases. Myofunctional therapy is offered for children whose oral-muscular patterns affect breathing or swallowing development. Pediatric sedation dentistry is available for procedures that benefit from a calmer chair experience. Kids dental mouthguards for sports, teeth whitening for adolescents, and special needs dentistry round out the in-house service mix.

If you live on the Upper West Side and want a children-only pediatric specialty practice with myofunctional therapy and HealthyStart system options, this fits.

The clinic uses digital X-rays with 3D capability and advanced pediatric dentistry equipment in a state-of-the-art facility. The single-dentist continuity across all visits means your child sees the same person each appointment, which builds trust faster than rotating-provider clinics.
