About

Nestled in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, just two blocks south of the bustling Grand Central Terminal, Dr. Michael Sinkin, DDS, MAGD, represents a pinnacle of personalized, high-quality dental care in New York City. For over two decades, his practice at 30 East 40th Street has been a sanctuary for patients seeking not just exceptional dentistry, but a compassionate, anxiety-free experience. Dr. Sinkin operates on a foundational belief that visiting the dentist should be a positive, comfortable, and even enjoyable encounter, a philosophy that profoundly sets his practice apart in a field often associated with apprehension. The practice's history is one of dedicated, continuous growth and learning. Dr. Sinkin established his practice with the vision of merging clinical excellence with unparalleled patient communication and comfort. Over the years, he has cultivated a loyal patient family, many of whom have been with him since the beginning, a testament to the trust and relationships he builds. The mission is clear and patient-centric: to provide comprehensive dental care in a warm, judgment-free environment where every treatment plan is tailored to the individual's needs, desires, and overall well-being. This is not a conveyor-belt dental office; it is a place where patients are known by name, their histories are remembered, and their concerns are heard with genuine empathy. Dr. Sinkin’s expertise is formidable, certified by his prestigious MAGD (Master of the Academy of General Dentistry) designation—an accolade achieved by less than 1% of dentists in the U.S. and Canada. This signifies a rigorous commitment to continuing education, encompassing over 1,100 hours of dental instruction across all disciplines, from cosmetic and restorative dentistry to periodontics and oral surgery. This vast knowledge base allows him to offer a truly comprehensive suite of services under one roof, ensuring continuity of care. The practice’s unique value proposition rests on three pillars: master-level expertise, a fiercely patient-centered approach, and a commitment to leveraging advanced technology for superior outcomes. Dr. Sinkin is renowned for his skill in cosmetic dentistry, including porcelain veneers and same-day CEREC crowns, as well as complex restorative work like dental implants and TMJ therapy. However, what truly defines the practice is its atmosphere. The modern, serene office on the 8th floor is designed to alleviate stress, featuring amenities to make patients feel at ease. Dr. Sinkin is famously known for his conversational, humorous, and transparent style, taking time to explain procedures in detail, answer all questions, and ensure patients are active participants in their care. He demystifies dentistry, removing fear through education and kindness. This combination of world-class skill delivered with a deeply human touch makes Dr. Michael Sinkin’s practice a distinguished destination for those who value both the art and the heart of dentistry. It’s a practice where cutting-edge technology meets old-fashioned care, creating a dental experience that is as exceptional as the skyline views outside its doors.

This dental office is always clean, prompt, and efficient — I never have to wait. The atmosphere feels like home, and the entire staff is warm, professional, and welcoming. Dr. Michell Sinkin is an outstanding, thorough dentist who truly makes you feel comfortable, and his work is always excellent. My whole family are patients here, and we couldn’t be happier with the care we receive. Highly recommend!

Game changer alert! 🦷💫 I used to dread going to the dentist, but everything changed when I found Dr. Sinkin and his amazing team! They're warm, friendly and make you feel super comfortable. My cleaning experience is always awesome (sorry gatekeeping my hygienist) because she is the best and I finally feel like I'm in good hands and actually look forward to my visits. If you're looking for a dentist office and wonderful staff who truly care, look no further!

I’m incredibly grateful for the amazing service I received at this dental office. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with such kindness and professionalism. The entire team was punctual, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease. My hygienist was absolutely wonderful — the cleaning was the best I’ve had in my entire life. She explained everything with such care, made sure I was comfortable at all times, and delivered an exceptional experience from start to finish. I genuinely enjoyed my visit and highly recommend their services. It was truly a beautiful experience, and I honestly can’t wait to come back.

I’ve been a patient of Doc for over a decade and he / the entire team have been the best healthcare providers I’ve ever worked with. I have work done, with a fake front tooth and he has done masterful work over the years on it. My wife started going to Dr. Sinkin a year after I started. Now my brother-in-law and sister-in-law go to him, as do my nervous professional colleagues via my recommendation. Best guy, best dentist & best TEAM!!

I can't speak highly enough of this dental team! Dr. Sinkin is thorough, knowledgeable and personable. April is a phenomenal hygienist who consistently not only cleans my teeth really well but she monitors gum health, measures recession, and follows up as necessary. You can tell that everyone enjoys their work and cares about their patients. You can't go wrong by entrusting your dental health to this practice! 12 out of 10! (My mom was a dental hygienist and I have complicated teeth - my standards are high!)
