About

Sound Dental NYC stands as a premier dental practice in the heart of New York City, offering a sophisticated blend of advanced clinical expertise, patient-centered care, and a serene, modern environment. Located at 42 Lafayette St in the vibrant NoHo neighborhood, this practice has established itself as a trusted destination for individuals and families seeking comprehensive oral health care that transcends traditional dentistry. Founded on the principle that dental visits should be comfortable, educational, and even transformative, Sound Dental NYC has cultivated a reputation for excellence through its unwavering commitment to quality, personalized attention, and the integration of cutting-edge technology.

The history of Sound Dental NYC is rooted in a vision to reimagine the dental experience. The practice was established by a team of forward-thinking dental professionals who recognized a gap in the market for a practice that treated patients as partners in their oral health journey, rather than just recipients of care. From its inception, the mission has been clear: to provide exceptional, evidence-based dental care in a welcoming and stress-free atmosphere. The practice's name, 'Sound,' reflects this core philosophy—it signifies not only the anatomical soundness of dental health but also the practice's reliable, principled, and clear communication approach with every patient.

Sound Dental NYC's service philosophy is built on a comprehensive model of care. The practice operates on the belief that optimal oral health is integral to overall systemic health and personal confidence. Therefore, their approach is holistic, considering factors beyond the teeth and gums, including sleep, nutrition, and how dental health impacts a patient's quality of life. The team, led by highly educated and experienced dentists, invests significant time in thorough consultations and examinations, ensuring each patient receives a customized treatment plan tailored to their unique needs, goals, and concerns. This meticulous planning stage sets the foundation for successful, long-term outcomes.

What truly sets Sound Dental NYC apart is its unique value proposition centered on three pillars: Technology, Transparency, and Tailored Care. The practice is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment technologies, including digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, CAD/CAM systems for same-day crowns, and advanced 3D imaging for precise implant planning and sleep apnea solutions. This technological edge allows for greater accuracy, efficiency, and minimally invasive procedures. Transparency is paramount; the team ensures patients fully understand their diagnoses, all available treatment options (along with pros and cons), and associated costs before any procedure begins. There are no hidden fees or unexpected surprises.

The expertise of the clinical team is a cornerstone of the practice. The dentists at Sound Dental NYC are not only skilled clinicians but also perpetual students of their craft, consistently pursuing continuing education in the latest techniques in cosmetic dentistry, implantology, endodontics, and periodontal therapy. This commitment to advanced learning ensures patients benefit from the most current and effective treatments available. The practice environment itself is meticulously designed to alleviate dental anxiety, featuring a clean, calm aesthetic, comfortable amenities, and a staff trained in compassionate patient interaction.

In a city teeming with dental options, Sound Dental NYC distinguishes itself through its authentic dedication to building long-term relationships. It’s not a high-volume, transactional clinic but a practice where patients are known by name and their dental history is understood in depth. This personalized touch, combined with clinical excellence and ethical practice, has fostered a loyal patient base that views Sound Dental NYC not as a provider of necessary services, but as an essential partner in maintaining their health and smile. They have successfully created a niche where clinical sophistication meets genuine hospitality, making them a standout practice for New Yorkers who value quality, integrity, and a superior patient experience above all.

Dr. Shahabi is gentle , welcoming and his office is beautiful! He listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. When being treated by a dentist I want a thorough exam and a gentle cleaning. The service was exceptional, when it came to the insurance process it was seamless. Everything was disclosed upfront the staff checked my plan prior to my visit which is always a plus! Insurance can be a foreign language sometime and when the office staff makes it simple to understand it’s a win win. Thank you for a great visit and an awesome experience! Oh by the way I listened to my favorite artist while my pearly whites were getting shined!

Dr. Shahabi is fantastic!! He is extremely talented and very thorough. I had a very painful cavity and went to schedule an appointment which was effortless and easy! They were able to be very accommodating with my schedule and fit me in as soon as possible. Dr. Shahabi was able to do a basic filling in my tooth and I went back to feeling great! Such an amazing experience for me! Would recommend to everyone!!!
