About

ColumbiaDoctors Dentistry at 100 Haven Ave, New York, NY 10032, represents a cornerstone of excellence in oral healthcare as part of the prestigious Columbia University Irving Medical Center's network. Located within the CUIMC/Haven Towers facility in northern Manhattan, this practice delivers comprehensive, multidisciplinary dental care under the auspices of Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, a globally recognized leader in dental education and innovation for nearly a century[2][4][6]. The Haven Towers location, accessible via phone at 212-342-0107, serves a diverse patient population, including students, faculty, and the broader community, offering seamless integration with Columbia's world-class medical resources[6][7].

Historically, ColumbiaDoctors Dentistry traces its roots to the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, established as one of the nation's premier institutions dedicated to advancing dental science, education, and patient care. Faculty dentists at this practice, such as Michael McKenzie, DDS, an Assistant Professor of Dental Medicine at CUMC, embody this legacy by combining cutting-edge research with hands-on clinical expertise[8]. The practice's mission is profoundly patient-centered: to empower individuals and families to lead long, happy, and healthy lives through first-class dental and oral care across all specialties. This commitment manifests in a low-stress, friendly environment where highly trained general dentists and specialists collaborate closely, ensuring personalized treatment plans that address immediate needs and long-term oral health[2][4].

Services at ColumbiaDoctors Dentistry Haven Towers encompass a full spectrum of general and specialized dentistry, making it a one-stop destination for oral health. General dentistry includes thorough evaluations, dental cleanings, fillings, exams, X-rays, and early detection of issues like tooth decay and oral cancer. Pediatric dentistry caters to infants through adolescents and adults with special needs in a comforting setting. Orthodontics offers state-of-the-art options such as traditional braces, Invisalign, and retainers for children and adults alike. Cosmetic dentistry enhances smiles via teeth whitening, veneers, and full-mouth reconstruction, while prosthodontics expertly restores missing or damaged teeth. The practice excels in dental implants, a field where Columbia's team pioneered technology, now performing hundreds annually with proven safety and efficacy. Additional offerings include endodontics, periodontics, oral surgery consultations, extractions (including wisdom teeth), crowns, bridges, dentures, bone grafts, TMJ treatment, and advanced diagnostics like cone-beam CT scans and panoramic X-rays[2][3][8].

What sets ColumbiaDoctors Dentistry apart is its unparalleled expertise derived from its academic affiliation. Every dentist is a faculty member of the College of Dental Medicine, ensuring access to the latest research, techniques, and technologies. Unlike standalone practices, this location provides all specialties under one roof—no external referrals needed—saving patients time and guaranteeing coordinated, collaborative care. The modern, clean facility at Haven Towers features convenient hours and on-site support services, including laboratory testing and coordination with uptown surgical centers for complex cases[1][3][4]. Providers like Dr. McKenzie specialize in family dentistry, cosmetic procedures such as bleaching, crowns, bridges, and veneers, underscoring the practice's versatility[8].

The unique value proposition lies in this fusion of Ivy League prestige, comprehensive services, and compassionate delivery. Patients benefit from evidence-based treatments informed by ongoing innovation, such as leadership in implantology and oral pathology biopsies. While patient reviews highlight exceptional clinical skills among dentists, they note variability in administrative support, yet the core strength remains the professional acumen of the faculty providers[1]. ColumbiaDoctors Dentistry at Haven Towers distinguishes itself in New York City's competitive dental landscape by prioritizing holistic outcomes—improving not just smiles, but overall well-being—in a setting backed by one of the world's top medical centers. Whether routine maintenance or transformative procedures, this practice delivers transformative care with the rigor of academic medicine and the warmth of personalized attention, making it the gold standard for dental health in northern Manhattan[2][3][4].

I love Ms. Rijo very much. She is very professional, thorough with her work. The environment she creates is welcoming. She is very engaging and humorous. My visit at the dentist is always pleasant. She has been my regular hygienist for quiet some time, and I never have a problem with her technique or her performance. I gave her five stars because she is a lovely person and she does not cause me any unpleasantness. I will recommend anyone who is looking for a good 👍 hygienist.

Stephanie is the most amazing hygienist ever. I have a phobia for getting dental cleanings. She explains everything and is always asking if I need a break or if anything is bothering me. My teeth feel amazing and she always provides me with tips for keeping my teeth healthy. Knowledgeable, kind, and wonderful! The view of the river also adds to the relaxing environment.
