Customer Reviews
I never heard of this wonderful and caring dentist before Paloma referred me.
She lobbied me for years to go and see Denise and I finally went and boy oh boy was the hype worth it.
My teeth are way more noticeable, to the point that I think that I can be a tooth model.
She gave me 2 teeth cleanings and a strict routine, with very specific instructions and they seemed to work.
I had staining that I thought was impossible to remove, that was removed in a single session without any bleaching agents.
The results were visible and immediate. The aesthetics are obvious, but the longevity to my future oral health is unparalleled.
I have been a patient of Denise for almost 20 years. She is without question the best of the best. No one has ever come close to her level of expertise, attention, friendly manner, professionalism. Denise is extremely thorough and the results prove it. Her cleanings are detailed and she is passionate about improving the health of patients' mouths. Her appointment goes beyond the cleaning because she shares her considerable knowledge about how to keep your teeth and mouth healthy at home. The office environment is first rate and super clean. I can't really say enough about how fabulous she is at her job. I am most grateful to Denise for getting my mouth much healthier and I look forward to many more years as her patient.
Denise Craig is the best hygienist I have ever had. Prior to going to Denise I had a number of hygienists but none came close to her! She is a true professional and my teeth look and feel amazing after each cleaning. Denise does not just clean my teeth but always gives me sound advice and suggestions for keeping my teeth and gums healthy. She is a pleasure to work with and has a warm and caring manner. I highly recommend her.
I am a new patient of Denise Craig and I have to say hands down, she is the best hygienist I have ever had. She is a rare diamond in the dentistry field, which mainly has one tired version of dental hygiene to share.
I recently got a diagnosis of needing an implant for a molar that I had an old root canal on. With Denise’s guidance, I am seeking an alternative avenue to treat the issue to keep the tooth. I cannot tell you how extraordinary it is to meet someone whose first reaction isn’t to retract the tooth, but rather all the ways to heal it on order to keep the natural tooth intact. But much more healthier and stronger than before.
The first was showing me how to revolutionize my own dental routine and understanding of how. I have the kind of teeth that plaque builds up quickly and even though I was visiting my old Hygienist four times a year, I still I had a mouth full of plaque build-up. The first time I had a cleaning with Denise, my teeth had never felt or looked cleaner. It’s the ultimate deep clean that you’ll realize your entire dental experience before that has been void of.
Located on Madison Avenue with hours that are so much more friendly than my previous Hygienist. No more booking a year in advance in order to get an appointment.
My husband is eager to become new patient also.
The absolute best there is out there 🥇🏆🥇
I've been going to Denise for cleanings for a little over two years. My teeth build up very quickly and heavily, and going to the dentist every six months is nowhere near sufficient to keep my teeth clean, so I supplement my dentist visits with cleaning appointments with Denise every two or three months. She's the best hygienist I've had. She manages to get my teeth very thoroughly clean without causing pain (I have sensitive teeth). Your mouth feels great when you leave. I highly recommend her.
