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.
