About

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Manhattan's Chinatown at 105 Mott Street, New York Dental stands as a cornerstone of comprehensive oral healthcare, seamlessly blending advanced clinical expertise with a deep-seated commitment to community-centric service. For over two decades, this esteemed practice has been a trusted destination for patients from all five boroughs and beyond, offering a sanctuary of modern dental care within the historic fabric of New York City. The practice was founded on a simple yet powerful principle: to deliver exceptional, accessible dentistry that prioritizes patient comfort, education, and long-term health above all else. This philosophy has guided its evolution from a local neighborhood clinic into a state-of-the-art dental facility renowned for its wide-ranging specialties and compassionate approach.

The mission of New York Dental is unequivocally patient-focused. It strives to demystify dental care, transforming potentially anxiety-inducing visits into positive, empowering experiences. The team believes that a healthy smile is integral to overall well-being, confidence, and quality of life. Therefore, their work extends beyond treating immediate problems to establishing lifelong partnerships with patients, emphasizing preventive care and personalized treatment planning. The practice caters to a remarkably diverse clientele, including multi-generational families, busy professionals, international visitors, and individuals who may have previously avoided dental care due to fear or financial concerns. This inclusivity is a testament to their welcoming environment and flexible service model.

What truly sets New York Dental apart is its unique fusion of cutting-edge technology, multi-specialist expertise under one roof, and a genuinely personalized touch. The practice is equipped with contemporary dental technology, including digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and advanced sterilization systems, which enhance diagnostic accuracy, treatment efficiency, and patient safety. However, technology is merely a tool; the heart of the practice is its team. The clinical staff comprises highly skilled general dentists alongside in-house specialists, allowing for seamless, collaborative care in areas such as orthodontics, oral surgery, and periodontics. This integrated model means patients can receive coordinated, complex treatment plans without the inconvenience of multiple referrals to distant offices.

The practice's unique value proposition is deeply rooted in its location and community understanding. Serving the culturally rich Chinatown area, the staff is multilingual (fluent in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and more), ensuring clear communication and cultural sensitivity. They navigate insurance complexities with expertise, offering transparent financial consultations and accepting a wide array of insurance plans and payment options to remove barriers to care. Furthermore, the practice distinguishes itself through its emphasis on patient education. Dentists and hygienists invest time in explaining conditions and treatment options in detail, empowering patients to make informed decisions about their health.

New York Dental’s reputation is built on a foundation of trust, consistency, and clinical excellence. While they offer all the advanced services of a large corporate dental group, they retain the warmth, attentiveness, and personalized familiarity of a family-owned practice. They understand the fast-paced nature of New York life and offer accommodating scheduling, including evening and weekend hours, to meet the needs of their busy patients. In an industry that can sometimes feel impersonal and transactional, New York Dental remains a practice where every patient is known by name, where treatment is tailored to individual needs and goals, and where the pursuit of optimal oral health is a shared journey. This commitment to excellence, community, and compassionate care solidifies its position as a premier dental destination in downtown Manhattan.

Blue Sky Dental was recommended to me by my lifelong dentist, who had retired. The practice is run by a husband and wife team: Dr. Kevin Chan and Dr. Molly Lim. I've been seeing Dr. Kevin for the past two years and highly recommend this practice! Don't be fooled by the modest office- it's not a trendy dental boutique, but you can trust that the doctors treating you are beyond knowledgeable and care deeply about their patients. They've seen it all and their expertise and skill truly show in everything from routine cleanings to more specialized procedures. Dr. Kevin takes the time to explain everything (including the latest developments in whatever treatment you're getting if you care to know the details), and you can trust that they'll never "sell" you on any unnecessary, expensive procedures (unlike the guy I went to between my first dentist and Blue Sky). I recommended Dr. Kevin to my parents and they loved him so much that they literally drive two hours into the city from another state every time they need dental work.

Dr. Molly and Dr. Kevin are the best. They are very attentive and caring. After decades with them, I continue to see them even though I live far away - they are worth the trip! I have tried other dentists when I HAD TO and no one comes close. They are super clean, gentle, and detail oriented. They see folks of all ages and will work with you no matter your situation. Their staff are also great and efficient.

It's so hard to find a good dentist who care and professional. I'm so happy to found Dr. Lee who is gentle and yet does a great job on my teeth whether I need a cleaning or filling. He is very experienced, patient and listen to my concern and works on my teeth with exceptional skills and time spend where doesn't hurt or worst bleed. The staffs in the office are very polite and friendly. Whenever I need an appointment, they always squeeze me in. I highly recommend Dr. Lee to anyone who looks for an experienced and caring dentist. He is the best dentist I ever have.

Dr. Molly Lim and her husband own Blue Sky Dental Center. They work together in the Blue Sky Dental Center office and are both fantastic dentists. I've seen Dr. Molly since I was about 8 years old and continue to do so now. It's been over two decades and we're still going strong. I had to try a different dentist once when I was a little girl because my father changed insurance to one that Blue Sky Dental Center didn't accept, but after a terrible general cleaning with the other dentist, my parents switched to another insurance that Blue Sky Dental Center would accept so I could see Dr. Molly again. When I became an adult, I made certain to purchase dental insurance that Blue Sky Dental Center accepts so I could stay with the awesome Dr. Molly. One time, Dr. Molly asked if I was willing to have her husband perform my annual cleaning or reschedule, but that was only because she was dealing with an emergency. Of course I was fine with him doing my cleaning. Turns out, he's an excellent dentist too. Dr. Molly is phenomenal with not just adults but also with children. Her ceiling is decorated with adorable Disney and Hello Kitty stickers, which is extremely kid friendly. An absolute pleasure to see, she is extremely personable, screens for oral cancer at every routine checkup, does oral x-rays, takes time to demonstrate brushing and flossing techniques if needed, can create mouth guards if you grind your teeth in your sleep, is adept at handling fillings, performs thorough yet gentle general cleanings as well as the rare deep cleaning when needed, apologizes when she does deep cleaning near any of my sensitive gum areas even though she is really careful and as gentle as possible, has sunglasses on hand for patients of all ages who are sensitive to the brightness of the dentist chair's lamp, and more. Really, the list goes on and on. I can't praise her enough. My only complaint is that I have to book appointments months in advance because she is in such high demand. Dr. Molly, her husband, and her staff are fantastic. Even if Dr. Molly weren't my dentist, I would still want to be her friend in real life. I really like her so much that I've even bought her and her dental assistants buns or fruit as a small token of appreciation (please note, she has never asked or expected anything from me, I just really truly love Dr. Molly--LOVE). Dr. Molly is not just a knowledgeable, thorough, and patient dentist, but an incredible and compassionate human being.
