About Preferred Dental Care

Preferred Dental Care is a general dentistry practice located at 135 West 27th Street in Chelsea, Manhattan. The practice offers dental cleanings, general care, and affordable dental services to patients throughout the Chelsea neighborhood and surrounding areas, including NoMad, the Flatiron District, and the Garment District.

Preventive care services are central to the practice. Routine dental cleanings and comprehensive examinations are available for new and returning patients. The hygiene team provides thorough professional prophylaxis, taking time to address patient questions and concerns at each appointment. The practice places an emphasis on patient education and consistent preventive habits.

Orthodontic services are available at the practice, with an in-house orthodontist who works with patients seeking braces or alignment correction. This allows patients to receive both general dental care and orthodontic treatment within the same practice, simplifying care coordination and eliminating the need for outside referrals for most orthodontic needs.

The practice has a long-standing patient base in the Chelsea area, with some patients having attended for more than two decades. This continuity reflects the consistent quality of care and the relationships the clinical team builds with patients over time. New patients scheduling an initial visit can expect a welcoming intake process, a comprehensive examination, and a review of any outstanding dental concerns.

Preferred Dental Care is located on West 27th Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues in Chelsea. The office is within walking distance of Penn Station, Madison Square Garden, and the Penn Station Farley building. It is accessible via the 1 train at 28th Street, the C and E trains at 23rd Street, and the F and M trains at 23rd Street. The Chelsea location makes this practice a practical choice for commuters passing through Penn Station who need a convenient Midtown South dental option.

Dr. Thakkar was amazing and very gentle in doing the procedure. He is also very kind and makes sure to educate,without invalidation, his patients on the steps to prevent future cavities. The hygienist, Irene, is also very gentle and thorough. The DAs are very welcoming and gentle with taking x-rays. Overall, the entire staff of PDC is very welcoming and kind ensuring that you get the best service they can deliver.

I recently had an appointment at Preferred Dental NYC, and I have to highlight the outstanding cleaning I received from Irene. She was incredibly thorough, gentle, and attentive throughout the entire process. Irene took the time to explain each step, which made me feel comfortable and well-informed. Her attention to detail was exceptional—my teeth have never felt cleaner. She was also very considerate, frequently checking in to make sure I was doing okay. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about her patients and takes pride in her work. I had my X-rays done by Gael and the experience was excellent. Gael was professional, efficient, and made the entire process quick and comfortable. He clearly explained what he was doing and made sure I was at ease throughout. X-rays can sometimes feel awkward, but Gael handled everything with care and precision, minimizing any discomfort. His friendly demeanor and attention to detail really stood out. Overall, a smooth and positive experience—I highly recommend Gael for anyone needing dental X-rays! If you’re visiting Preferred Dental NYC, I highly recommend requesting Irene for your cleaning. She truly makes the experience pleasant and stress-free!

Preferred Dental has great customer service! I’m always greeted with a smile everytime I come. I specifically come for Dr. Alex, the orthodontist. If you’re looking for one she’s great! She’s very detailed and knowledgeable about her work and just has a great aura all together!

This was one of the most positive experiences I’ve had at the dentist office. Everyone was pleasant and nice. I didn’t feel uncomfortable. I felt like all my questions and concerns were addressed. And I was thoroughly impressed by my cleaning results with my hygienist Camellia. She was kind patient and made the process very easy. I am very thankful that she did my cleaning and cannot wait to go back to get the rest of my treatment and concerns adressed. Thank you guys so much.

I've been a patient here for about 20 years, and my loyalty to the practice should tell you how I feel about them. I've received exceptional care here, and beyond that have been treated so well by the people here, from the front desk to the exam room. I recommend them highly
