About
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Manhattan's Chinatown and bordering the historic Lower East Side, Bowery Dental stands as a beacon of modern, patient-centric oral healthcare at 145 Canal St. Founded on the principle that everyone deserves access to exceptional dental care in a comfortable and welcoming environment, this practice has carved out a distinguished reputation as a trusted community pillar. More than just a dental office, Bowery Dental represents a harmonious blend of cutting-edge technology, artistic dental craftsmanship, and genuine compassion, serving the diverse population of New York City with unwavering dedication.
The practice was established with a clear mission: to demystify dentistry and eliminate the anxiety often associated with dental visits. From the moment patients step into the serene, thoughtfully designed office on the second floor, they are greeted by a warm, multilingual staff and a calming atmosphere that feels more like a spa than a clinical setting. The team understands that dental health is intrinsically linked to overall well-being and confidence, and they approach each patient with a holistic, personalized care plan. The core philosophy is built on education, prevention, and minimally invasive techniques, empowering patients to make informed decisions about their oral health.
Bowery Dental's expertise spans the full spectrum of general, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry. The practice is led by highly skilled dentists who are not only clinicians but also continuous learners, staying at the forefront of dental innovations through ongoing education. Their proficiency is particularly notable in complex restorative cases, such as full-mouth reconstructions and dental implantology, where they utilize advanced 3D cone beam CT scanning and digital impressions for unparalleled precision. Furthermore, their cosmetic work, including porcelain veneers and Invisalign clear aligners, is performed with an artist's eye for detail, ensuring results that are both healthy and aesthetically breathtaking.
What truly sets Bowery Dental apart is its unique value proposition centered on a seamless, high-touch patient experience. In a city known for impersonal and rushed appointments, Bowery Dental dedicates significant time to each consultation, fostering long-term relationships. They leverage state-of-the-art technology not as a gimmick, but as a tool to enhance comfort, efficiency, and predictability—from intraoral cameras that show patients a clear view of their teeth to same-day CEREC crowns that eliminate the need for multiple visits. The practice is meticulously organized, ensuring minimal wait times and clear communication regarding treatment plans and financial options.
Catering to the dynamic community of Lower Manhattan, the practice is adept at serving a wide array of patients, from busy Wall Street professionals and local families to artists and newcomers to the city. Their commitment to accessibility is reflected in their flexible scheduling, multilingual capabilities, and transparent approach to financing. Ultimately, Bowery Dental distinguishes itself by proving that world-class dental care can be delivered with warmth, integrity, and a deep respect for the individual. It is a practice where science meets compassion, where technology serves humanity, and where every smile is treated as a unique work of art deserving of the highest standard of care.

Customer Reviews
The best experience I’ve had at a dentist! They’re so kind and informative. I’ve never had a dentist tell me so many things (calling out potential future cavities, teaching flossing technique, telling me about potential gum recession, etc). Every other dentist I’ve had just rotates patients in and out but I can tell Bowery dental really cares. They’re also so nice and it’s a very clean and organized space. Would recommend to anyone
I’ve been going here for years now even though my commute is quite long to get there, it is just that good. The staff has been so professional, welcoming, and knowledgeable on your teeth. Every time I go, the process is always seamless and the place is so clean too. I’ve been recommending Bowery Dental to everyone!
Hi. I came all the way from brooklyn based on reviews i read on google . I have tried other dentists prior. But i must say i had a great experience. Office is veryclean and professional. Dr yang was very courteous. Cleaning was detailed and done perfectly. I had x rays taken and she explained patiently the course of action. Her assistant was also extremely fine and did my bleaching. I am very pleased. Highly recommended. Will be back
I had a great experience at this dental clinic. The nurse and the dentist were both very friendly and patient. They explained every step clearly and made sure I understood what was going on. Their caring attitude made me feel relaxed and comfortable during the whole visit. I would definitely recommend this clinic to others.
I’ve been to Bowery Dental several times, and up until today my experiences have been excellent, though they have always served multiple patients at once, which sometimes leaves people waiting. Today, however, the delays were unacceptable.
My 3:00 PM appointment started 3:20. I then waited 40 minutes between the cleaning and whitening, plus more time while the dentist attended to another patient even as I sat in the chair. Altogether, I was there until 5:20, over two hours, with more than half of that time just waiting.
I had booked my appointment with my regular dentist and had not been informed that I would see someone else. The assistant struggled with x-rays, needing several retakes before asking for help. The new dentist I saw wasn’t bad, she asked thoughtful questions and gave detailed guidance. The result wasn’t poor, but I noticed she was less consistent in her execution, missing some areas when flossing and being more thorough on one side of my mouth than the other.
I had specifically booked this time because whitening was offered proactively, and I wanted to do both treatments together. If the office couldn’t realistically accommodate that, it would have been better not to offer it.
I hope Bowery Dental reconsiders how they schedule and manage treatments so patients don’t spend more time waiting than being treated. Up until now, my experiences here have been excellent, and I’d like to see the practice return to that level of care.
