About Yonkers Avenue Dental Affiliated with The Smilist Dental
On the Dunwoodie stretch of Yonkers Avenue, within reach of the Cross County corridor and the Bronx line, number 637 houses a practice that operates as a local office inside The Smilist Dental network. That structure is worth understanding before you book. Day-to-day care comes from a small named team, with Dr. Amit Rajani in general dentistry, Dr. Kevin Boyle in orthodontics and Dr. Kristen Rogers in periodontics, while scheduling, records, billing and online booking run on shared group systems, which is why an appointment can be requested at any hour through the website.
Having a periodontist in the building shapes the implant pathway here. Before a fixture goes in, someone has to judge whether the remaining bone can hold it and whether the gum tissue around the neighboring teeth is healthy enough to keep it there. That judgment is periodontal work, and it is exactly the step that gets skipped in offices that only restore. Extractions, grafting and implant placement are handled on site, with IV sedation offered for oral surgery. IV sedation runs deeper than nitrous oxide, and the trade-off is logistical: nothing to eat beforehand, and a companion has to collect you afterwards, since taking the wheel yourself is out of the question for the rest of the day. What it buys is a long surgical appointment, or a fear severe enough to have kept you away for years, dealt with in one sitting.
The orthodontic side covers both fixed braces and Invisalign, and the general side covers the ordinary spine of dental care, including cleanings, exams, digital X-rays, fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, whitening, veneers and root canals. Emergency appointments are part of the model rather than an afterthought, which matters on this side of Yonkers, where a cracked tooth on a weekday otherwise means a hospital emergency room that can manage the pain but cannot actually fix the tooth.
Two practical points before you plan around this office. Cost on implant work is never a single number: a straightforward fixture placed into healthy bone sits at one end of the range, while a case that needs an extraction, a graft, several months of healing and then a custom abutment and crown sits well above it. Ask for a written stage-by-stage estimate rather than a headline figure, and ask specifically what that estimate assumes about grafting, since that assumption is where quotes most often diverge from final invoices. Settle the coverage and payment question with the front desk before treatment starts, not between surgical visits. The second point is the calendar. The schedule here is weekday-only, closing at 2pm on Friday and shut through the weekend, so a multi-visit implant or orthodontic plan has to be built around workday appointments and the healing gaps between them.

They did a great job as always!
Wonderful experience! Maria makes you feel so comfortable . She’s very kind and explains everything. Honestly the best cleaning experience.
Had my appointment today with Yolanda. She was amazing as always. Highly recommend this dental facility.
Always a lovely time here. The girls at the front desk are always so helpful. And don't get me started on Yolanda, she's always a ray of sunshine. She always gets a smile on my face even before my appointment. 😁😁
Maria is the most gentle hygenist I've had in my life. I've always been nervous about going to the dentist and everyone is very kind and reassuring. They are a little more expensive than I'm used to, but I know that I'm paying for quality work.
Yolanda is absolutely amazing at what she does! She is always so kind, professional, and makes every dental cleaning a comfortable experience. She takes the time to explain everything, is very gentle, and does a thorough job every visit. I always leave feeling like my teeth are incredibly clean and well cared for. Her positive attitude and attention to detail make a huge difference. I highly recommend Yolanda!
I can’t even describe how wonderful Yolanda was. Very welcoming from the beginning of the appointment all the way till the end. She has a motherly touch as she talks to you and makes the whole experience very wonderful and you can tell she actually cares about the client and is very detailed in her concerns to make sure you have the best teeth possible
I had a wonderful experience with this office from start to finish. Everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional. The entire team made me feel comfortable, answered all of my questions, and always took the time to make sure I was doing well. Dr. Rajani was thorough, gentle, and paid great attention to detail. I truly appreciated how much everyone cared about making sure I was comfortable throughout my visits. I also have to give a shoutout to whoever is in charge of the music! 😄 The playlist was fantastic and made every visit feel so much more relaxed. It may seem like a small detail, but it really made a difference. It's not often that you find a healthcare team that combines professionalism with genuine compassion. I'm especially grateful to Shanty and Maria for their kindness and care throughout the process. I would absolutely recommend this office to anyone looking for a dentist. Thank you all for making what could have been a stressful experience such a positive one!
