About
Nestled in the heart of Lower Manhattan's prestigious Battery Park City, Battery Park Pediatric & Orthodontic Dentists stands as a premier, family-centric dental practice dedicated exclusively to the oral health and beautiful smiles of children, teens, and young adults. For over a decade, this practice has been a cornerstone of the downtown New York community, building a reputation for exceptional, compassionate, and comprehensive dental care in a uniquely warm and child-friendly environment. The practice was founded on a simple yet powerful belief: that early positive dental experiences shape a lifetime of healthy habits and that orthodontic treatment is not just about straightening teeth but about building confidence and ensuring optimal function. This philosophy is woven into every aspect of their care, setting them apart as more than just dentists—they are partners in each child's developmental journey.
The mission of Battery Park Pediatric & Orthodontic Dentists is to provide the highest standard of specialized pediatric and orthodontic care while fostering a safe, fun, and educational atmosphere where children feel empowered and parents feel fully informed and at ease. Their team understands the unique anxieties that can surround a dental visit for a young patient and has meticulously designed their office, from its decor to its communication style, to alleviate fear and build trust. The practice's unique value proposition is its seamless integration of pediatric dentistry and orthodontics under one roof. This holistic approach allows for continuous, coordinated care from a child's first tooth through adolescence, with the pediatric dentists and orthodontists collaborating closely to monitor development, identify potential issues early, and create a cohesive, long-term treatment plan that addresses both health and aesthetics.
What truly sets this business apart is its unwavering commitment to a personalized, patient-first experience in a city known for impersonal healthcare. The team, led by dedicated specialists, invests significant time in building relationships with both children and parents. They utilize state-of-the-art, low-radiation digital imaging and cutting-edge orthodontic technology, including clear aligner therapy and self-ligating braces, but they balance this technical expertise with profound empathy and patience. Their expertise is not only clinical but also behavioral; they are skilled in techniques for managing dental anxiety and are trained to care for patients with special needs. The office itself is a testament to their philosophy, featuring a welcoming, bright, and engaging space designed to distract and delight young minds, transforming routine appointments into positive adventures.
Their community involvement and focus on preventive education further distinguish them. They act as a resource for families, offering guidance on nutrition, oral hygiene, and habits like thumb-sucking, aiming to prevent problems before they start. This proactive stance, combined with their dual specialization, creates an unparalleled continuum of care. In a competitive New York market, Battery Park Pediatric & Orthodontic Dentists has carved out a niche as the trusted, neighborhood practice where high-quality specialty care is delivered with a personal touch, ensuring that every child leaves not only with a healthier smile but also with a positive attitude toward dental health that will last a lifetime.

Customer Reviews
I used to live in the same complex building as Battery Park Dental Group, and I always came here for my teeth cleanings. The staff is very professional, and the front desk is super helpful. I never had a problem with my appointments, and I never felt rushed or pressured to spend unnecessary money on dental treatments. They genuinely care about your dental health.
The doctors, hygienists, and all the staff in the back are excellent. They take the time to explain each step of the process, which makes the experience smooth and reassuring. My kids also visit the kids’ dentist here, and everything is great. No complaints at all!
Thank you, Battery Park Dental Group, for your consistent great work, and keep people smiling.
I started my invisilign treatment in May 2024, and let me tell you, coming to this practice has been the best part of my treatment. I live in PA and still came here for my treatment. My dentist, Dr. Buchbinder, has been amazing. I would come here 100 times over again. 5 stars across the board.
Olga Sobol is a good cosmetic dentist. She took care of my teeth for about 20 years, and I don't trust other doctors as much as I trust her.
Years ago she made beautiful ceramic crowns for six of my front teeth. I still get compliments for them. When other dentists look inside my mouth, they ask, "Who did that? Such beautiful work!" Aside from her great skills, what distinguishes her is her compassion, friendliness, and genuine care. She chooses treatment and prevention options that are best for her patients and thinks long-term.
What prompted this review was that she recently saved my inflamed tooth. 99% of dentists would extract it and replace it with an implant, but she did a mini surgery on it, removing pus from pockets near the bone and prescribing antibiotics, to allow the tooth to fully heal.
I told her it would be funny if, just as World War II fighter pilots marked each enemy plane they shot down on their fuselage as a symbol of their victories, she might celebrate each tooth she saved from extraction with a tally on her office wall. :-)
My children have been patients at this office since 2018. All of the doctors are amazing! I couldn’t ask for a better office! My daughter also had orthodontic treatment and her teeth look absolutely amazing! Definitely give this office a try, you won’t regret it. They are like family now!
This place is a fraud. Avoid at all cost. I brought my two children for dental cleaning and they claimed the insurance doesn’t work and charged me $755. Later I called insurance to process the claim. Then I realized they claimed they did filings on THREE teeth which was an absolute overcharge. My daughter’s appointment was 15 minutes max including the cleaning. She obviously had no cavity or whatsoever. Our visit was in December last year, this billing was still not corrected and I haven't been reimbursed.
The front desk was rude and racist. For that last visit, I arrived first with two children including a toddler. She told us to wait. Five minutes later, someone else arrived and she let that group go in first. I later realized that person she let in didn't even have an appointment and was a walk-in! We waited more than half an hour and only got seen after that patient was done. Not a single word of explanation or apology was expressed when I raised concern. Obviously we won't go back to this place. Please be aware.
