About
ColumbiaDoctors Dentistry at 430 West 116th Street is part of Columbia University's dental care network, operated by faculty from the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, one of the top dental schools in the country. The practice is affiliated with Columbia University Irving Medical Center and New York-Presbyterian, providing world-class oral health care in Manhattan. The College of Dental Medicine itself was established in 1916 with roots dating back to 1852, making it one of the earliest dental schools with university affiliation. The college's founding philosophy, articulated by founder William J. Gies, PhD, emphasized that because oral health is inextricably linked to overall health, dental medicine is best taught within an academic medical setting. This principle continues to define the institution today. ColumbiaDoctors Dentistry leverages this academic excellence, with dentists who are faculty members at Columbia's College of Dental Medicine. The practice offers comprehensive dental care across multiple specialties in a collaborative setting, eliminating the need for outside referrals. The location at 430 West 116th Street is one of five Manhattan locations operated by ColumbiaDoctors Dentistry, with offices in midtown Manhattan, the upper west side, and northern Manhattan. The practice is dedicated to providing seamless, personal oral care to patients and their families, combining state-of-the-art treatment with personal attention. Services include general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, endodontics, and other specialized dental care. The practice accepts multiple insurance plans including CIGNA, DentaQuest, Healthplex, Medicare, UnitedHealthcare, and the World Trade Center Health Plan.

Customer Reviews
Dr. Trinh was phenomenal! Gentle, knowledgeable, a great listener, and old school -- in that she carried a journal with her (not a computer that would remove her from her patient), and took copious notes after asking smart, investigative questions. She came up with theories based on our shared understanding and her observations, set forth a protocol for testing theories, and provided possible options for addressing symptoms. I felt incredibly fortunate to be in her care.
Lana is professional, kind, and attentive. I felt well cared for throughout my visit. Highly recommend!"
Svetlana Pinhasova is an outstanding dental hygienist. She is extremely careful and sensitive to her patients. I am grateful for the many times she has made my teeth clean and comfortable. Svetlana is simply the best.
Lana is the best hygienist. I have seen her for many years. She is always very friendly, comforting, gentle and informative. She always does a very thorough cleaning. I’ve tried other hygienists through the years when she was not available but she is the best!
Svetlana, is great!! I highly recommend. She has a soft, caring approach. But with a focus of doing a thorough job. Very professional. As she reminds me during every visit about preventive selfcare. I need to go floss.
