Read full description

Noble Dental Care is a general and family dental practice on 5th Avenue in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. The office provides everyday dental care for adults and families, combining preventive treatment with a welcoming, patient-focused approach.

Preventive and general dentistry forms the foundation of the practice. Comprehensive examinations, professional dental cleanings, tooth-colored fillings, and monitoring for tooth decay and gum disease keep teeth and gums healthy. Consistent checkups are the most reliable way to catch small issues early, and a thorough cleaning supports both the comfort and the appearance of a healthy smile.

The practice places clear emphasis on affordable dental care, keeping common treatments accessible for patients and families budgeting for their care, and the team takes time to explain coverage and treatment options so patients understand what is recommended and why.

Noble Dental Care is set up to serve as a steady dental home — the kind of office a family returns to over the years and recommends to relatives and neighbors. The team explains each step of a visit clearly, which helps put nervous patients at ease, and pays attention to the experience of every patient, not only the treatment itself.

New patients establishing care can expect a thorough first examination and cleaning, with any findings and recommended next steps discussed clearly before further treatment is planned.

Routine visits are kept straightforward: a regular checkup, a professional cleaning, and clear advice on anything to watch at home, so patients always leave knowing where their dental health stands and when to return.

The 5th Avenue location is convenient for residents across Park Slope and nearby Gowanus, Windsor Terrace, and South Slope, with paid street parking in the area, and is served by nearby subway lines. The office accepts credit cards, debit cards, and contactless payment. You can review Noble Dental Care’s services and contact details on this page and reach the office directly to request an appointment.

Read full description

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.

4th Floor, 1881, Broadway, Manhattan, New York, New York(nearby)

Open until 6 PM

Profile in New York flags sedation dentistry; lists Affordable Dental Care alongside 3 other documented services — just outside Newark proper.

Read full description

Central Park West Dentistry is a general dentistry practice on the fourth floor of 1881 Broadway, at the corner of West 62nd Street on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. The practice serves patients in the Lincoln Center, Columbus Circle, and Upper West Side area, providing preventive dental care, routine cleanings, and sedation-assisted treatment.

Professional dental cleanings, oral examinations, and X-rays make up the core preventive services. The hygiene team performs detailed cleanings with patient education integrated throughout the visit. The facility features ceiling-mounted televisions in treatment rooms, which helps patients stay relaxed during longer procedures and makes the overall experience more comfortable for those who are anxious in a dental chair.

Sedation dentistry is available at this practice. Patients with dental anxiety have access to nitrous oxide and other sedation options to make appointments manageable. For patients requiring specific sedation arrangements such as nitrous oxide or oral pre-medication, communicating those needs clearly at the time of booking is important so that the appropriate preparation is in place.

Extended hours are a practical feature of this practice, with appointments available beyond standard business hours to accommodate patients who cannot leave work during the day. When multiple procedures are needed, the team works to schedule treatment efficiently and combine steps where possible to minimize the number of separate visits.

The practice operates with multiple providers and hygienists. Patients who prefer continuity with a specific dentist or hygienist should confirm provider availability when booking. The office is located in a modern building with elevator access from Broadway, steps from Lincoln Center and Central Park.

Broadway at West 62nd Street is served by the 1 train at 66th Street — Lincoln Center, with additional subway access via the A/B/C/D trains at 59th Street — Columbus Circle. The location draws patients from Riverside Drive, the West 70s, the West Village of the Upper West Side, and Hell’s Kitchen.

Patients on the Upper West Side looking for a general dentist with sedation options and flexible appointment hours near Lincoln Center can contact Central Park West Dentistry at the information on this page.

Brooklyn Mint Dental - Dr. Alice Hoang

4.9(313)·17 km from Newark Downtown
89Smyleee

Suite B, 567, Pacific Street, Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, New York(nearby)

Open until 2 PM

Brooklyn practice known for general & family dentistry, with Affordable Dental Care among 21 documented procedures — just outside Newark proper.

Read full description

Brooklyn Mint Dental (Dr. Alice Hoang) runs a solo practice on Pacific Street in Boerum Hill, a few blocks from the Atlantic Avenue commercial corridor. The format is genuinely solo — one named dentist, smaller team, longer visit pace — which gives it a different rhythm than the multi-dentist group practices that dominate the corridor. Patients here tend to value the continuity of seeing the same dentist across appointments rather than rotating through providers.

Routine fillings cover a steady share of the schedule. Dr. Hoang handles tooth-colored composite restorations as the default material, with single-surface and multi-surface fillings, replacement work when older restorations have failed, and the diagnostic call between filling and crown when more tooth structure has been lost. Beyond fillings, services include cleanings and exams, root canals, crowns and bridges, extractions, gum-disease screening, and emergency dental care. The visit pace tends to allow longer chair-side conversations about treatment options than chain offices typically support, where the time pressure can flatten the diagnostic discussion.

If you've felt rushed at chain practices and you want the dentist to actually walk through your X-rays in detail before any treatment, smaller solo offices like this one tend to fit that preference by default.

Patients searching for long-time family dentist in Brooklyn, NY, family dentist in Brooklyn, or general dentistry in Brooklyn, NY who prefer solo-practice continuity over chain efficiency often gravitate toward offices like this. Brooklyn Mint fits that solo-practice pattern. The new-patient exam combines comprehensive X-rays, periodontal screening, and a treatment-plan walkthrough at a pace that leaves room for questions. For Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, and Carroll Gardens residents looking for a dentist they'll see across years rather than across rotations, this Pacific Street solo practice is a reasonable first appointment. It's worth asking whether the practice files insurance directly or expects payment up front and reimbursement separately, because the answer materially shifts how much you pay out of pocket on the visit day.

2nd floor, 7, West 45th Street, Manhattan, New York, New York(nearby)

Closed · Opens Monday at 8 AM

Documented for pediatric dentistry in New York, with affordable dental care on the service list and 18 procedures on file — just outside Newark proper.

Read full description

Koppelman Dental is a comprehensive dental practice located on the second floor at 7 West 45th Street in the Midtown West area of Manhattan, New York. The practice offers a broad range of general, cosmetic, restorative, and specialty dental services with an emphasis on current technology and a patient experience that goes beyond standard dental office protocols.

Preventive services include professional cleanings, dental x-rays, and comprehensive examinations. Hygiene appointments are designed with patient comfort in mind, with patients offered an eye mask during cleanings. Each appointment concludes with a dental care kit for the patient to take home, a detail that reflects the practice’s overall attention to the patient experience throughout the visit.

Restorative and specialty services include dental implants, dental crowns, bridges, dental bonding, CAD/CAM same-visit restorations, and tooth decay treatment. Sedation dentistry is available for patients who experience significant anxiety around dental procedures. CAD/CAM technology enables crown fabrication at a streamlined pace, reducing the number of appointments needed for single-tooth restoration cases.

Cosmetic services include porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, and smile makeovers for patients pursuing aesthetic improvements. Invisalign clear aligner treatment is available for orthodontic alignment correction. Emergency dentistry is offered for patients with urgent dental concerns that cannot wait for a regular scheduled appointment.

The practice is a multi-generational family operation, with both senior and junior clinicians working as a team. This combination provides patients with access to a broad range of clinical expertise within a single practice and supports a long institutional history with patient records maintained over many years. The West 45th Street location is in central Midtown, convenient to Grand Central Terminal, the Rockefeller Center station, and the 5th Avenue–53rd Street station. Patients can contact the practice through this page to schedule an appointment.

Patients interested in a specific service — whether cosmetic, implant, orthodontic, or emergency care — can contact the practice at the number listed on this page to discuss the procedure in advance, confirm current availability, and ask about what the first appointment will involve. The West 45th Street location is convenient for Midtown-based workers looking for a comprehensive dental practice that handles most procedures in-house without the need for multiple specialist referrals outside the practice.

Family Smile Dental

4.7(347)·23 km from Newark Downtown
89Smyleee

Suite 1-D, 1985, Ocean Avenue, Midwood, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, New York(nearby)

Closed · Opens Monday at 9 AM

General & Family Dentistry focus in Brooklyn, with affordable dental care listed among 21 documented services — just outside Newark proper.

Read full description

Family Smile Dental's Ocean Avenue location sits in Midwood, the central Brooklyn neighborhood where Brooklyn College anchors a dense residential mix of longtime homeowners, students, and the Orthodox Jewish community that's lived in the area for generations. The practice handles general dentistry for that varied patient base — cleanings, fillings, crowns, and the routine restorative work that fits a multi-tenant practice format.

Routine fillings are one of the regular visit types. The team handles tooth-colored composite restorations as the default, with single-surface fillings, multi-surface work for larger cavities, and replacement fillings when an older restoration has failed. Beyond fillings, services include cleanings and exams, root canals when decay reaches the nerve, crowns and bridges for structural work, basic extractions, gum-disease screening, and emergency dental care. The dentist will discuss material tradeoffs per tooth — composite for visible front teeth where appearance matters, options that prioritize durability for high-load molars on patients who chew aggressively or grind at night.

If you've been with the same dentist for years and they're now retiring or relocating, picking a new practice that handles your existing X-rays and treatment history smoothly matters more than starting completely over.

Patients searching for long-time family dentist in Brooklyn, NY, general dentistry in Brooklyn, NY, or routine dental care in Brooklyn often weigh the practical questions — insurance acceptance, hours that fit a working schedule, and whether prior records can be transferred without friction. Family Smile Dental's Midwood office is set up for those continuity questions. The new-patient exam combines comprehensive radiographs with periodontal screening before treatment is planned. For Midwood, Flatbush, and Ditmas Park residents picking a regular general dentist, this Ocean Avenue practice is a reasonable place to anchor. If you're switching from a chain practice and you've never had a long-term solo or small-group dentist before, the visit pace tends to feel different — slower, more conversational, and often more thorough than the timed-slot model.

How to Choose a Dentist in Newark

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated August 2, 2026Independently reviewed
