About Village Dental Medicine
Village Dental Medicine is a general dentistry practice located at 401 Sixth Avenue in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, directly above the West 4th Street subway station. The practice offers dental cleanings, general care, and comprehensive services to patients in Greenwich Village and the surrounding neighborhoods, and has been serving local patients for more than 25 years.
Preventive care at Village Dental Medicine includes professional dental cleanings and oral health examinations. The hygiene team, including Nadia and Michelle, performs thorough cleanings described as quick, painless, and effective. Hygienists communicate throughout each cleaning and provide education on home care practices tailored to each patient. The clinical team takes time to address patient concerns and does not rush through appointments.
Restorative care is available for patients with cavities, worn restorations, or other dental needs identified during examination. Multiple dentists practice at the office, including Dr. Clares, Dr. Charisse, and Dr. Culotta, who collectively provide continuity of general dental care. The team presents treatment options openly and takes an individualized approach to care planning. Long-term patients who have attended the practice for decades note consistent quality of care across that span.
Village Dental Medicine is experienced in helping patients navigate dental insurance plans. The front desk staff is attentive to coverage questions and assists with pre-authorization and claims submissions. New patients should note that for non-routine procedures such as custom appliances or specialty items, requesting a formal pre-authorization from your insurance carrier before the procedure is performed is the safest way to confirm coverage and avoid unexpected costs.
401 Sixth Avenue is located at the corner of Sixth Avenue and West 8th Street in Greenwich Village, directly above the West 4th Street station serving the A, B, C, D, E, F, and M subway lines. The practice is convenient for patients from the Village, the West Village, NoHo, and SoHo.

I love going to Village Dental. They have been my dentist for 4 years. I love Francis, she’s the best!
As always excellent-friendly, professional and genuinely caring staff. Dr. Chase - amazing! Highly recommended.
Village Dental is outstanding. The entire team is professional, welcoming, and attentive. Every visit is efficient, and the level of care is exceptional. I always leave feeling well cared for and confident that I'm in excellent hands. Highly recommend! I’m not naming my dentist and hygienist in purpose because I’m afraid they will never be available again. That’s how much I love this place.
Virtually no wait time. The staffs are friendly and knowledgable.
Best dentist experience — quick, transparent, and would recommend to anyone
Dr Chase is wonderful. Caring, gentle and very efficient. Michelle is the best hygienist. All staff are wonderful. I’ve been a patient for several years. Very happy!
Exceptional every visit. Thoughtful, helpful. Clean office with great preventative care. And emergency care was more than I could have asked for. Regular cleanings are quick, painless and thorough. Front office staff are pleasant and helpful when trying to understand insurance and related issues. Constantly feel lucky that they were recommended to me by a pal.
A couple years ago, I had a very bad experience with a dentist. This was my first time getting my teeth cleaned since then, and I was very grateful for how sensitive Dr. Chase and the staff were to my situation. From beginning to end, the appointment was professional, caring, and expedient. I never felt pushed to sign on to other services, like teeth whitening or invisalign. I'm glad to have found my new dentist!
I recommend this place to everyone who needs a dentist!! I’ve been going to Village Dental Medicine for a few years now and every visit is genuinely such a pleasant experience. Dr. Clares is the BEST!! He really listens, takes my concerns seriously, and gives honest, thoughtful recommendations without ever making me feel rushed. The whole team is great, from the hygienists and techs to the front desk staff. Everyone is kind and professional. The location being right next to west 4th station is also super convenient. I always look forward to my appointments because I know the experience will be easy and not stressful. If you need a dentist, you should go here!
A comfortable and refreshing dentist visit! Despite being very busy end of day, staff were lovely. Michelle was kind, accommodating and thorough while doing my cleaning. Dr. Charisse was very pleasant and really took her time to address my concerns and come up with a plan for me. Glad to feel cared about by my dental staff!
Exceptional every visit. Thoughtful, helpful. Clean office with great preventative care. Cleanings are quick, painless and thorough. Front office staff are pleasant and helpful when trying to understand insurance and related issues. Constantly feel lucky that they were recommended to me by a pal.
The front staff was very welcoming and friendly. Another wonderful hygienist cleaned my teeth and Dr. Culotta provided a great exam and good bill of tooth-health. Been cared for well for 25 years now. I love coming to Village Dental. See you in 6 months. Happy Holidays! 😘
