About

Expert Dental - Midtown, located at 110 E 40th St #104, New York, NY 10016, stands as a premier destination for comprehensive dental care in the heart of bustling Midtown Manhattan. Founded by the accomplished Dr. Yi-Ling Shiao, this state-of-the-art practice exemplifies a commitment to excellence, blending cutting-edge technology with compassionate, patient-centered care to serve the diverse needs of New York City's fast-paced residents. Dr. Shiao, born in Taiwan and raised in Los Angeles, earned her undergraduate degree in biochemistry from the University of California, Los Angeles, before pursuing her Doctor of Dental Surgery at the prestigious New York University College of Dentistry. She further honed her skills through a rigorous General Practice Residency at Interfaith Medical Center in Brooklyn, passed the North East Regional Board Examination, and completed advanced training, including two years in an NYU implant program, Invisalign and ClearCorrect certifications, and two years of orthodontics education sponsored by IAO/AOS. Fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese, Dr. Shiao launched Expert Dental to provide personalized, high-quality dentistry tailored to busy professionals and families alike[1][2][4][6].

The mission of Expert Dental is rooted in delivering unparalleled dental services that prioritize lasting oral health, patient comfort, and aesthetic excellence. With convenient locations in Midtown Manhattan and Tribeca, the practice accommodates demanding schedules by operating seven days a week, including evenings and weekends, ensuring accessibility without compromise. This dedication to flexibility sets Expert Dental apart in a city where time is precious, allowing patients to receive top-tier care without disrupting their lives. The Midtown office, equipped with the latest high-tech dental tools, enables precise diagnostics, efficient treatments, and superior outcomes, from routine preventive care to complex full-mouth rehabilitations[1][2][4].

Expert Dental's services span the full spectrum of dentistry, making it a one-stop solution for all oral health needs. General dentistry forms the cornerstone, encompassing routine checkups, professional cleanings, fillings, and exams that prevent decay, detect issues early, and maintain fresh, healthy smiles. Hygienists perform thorough deep cleanings using advanced techniques to remove plaque, tartar, and stains, promoting gum health and overall wellness—benefits that extend beyond the mouth to support systemic health by averting diseases like periodontitis[1][5]. Cosmetic dentistry elevates smiles through transformative procedures such as veneers, crowns, Invisalign, and ClearCorrect aligners, while restorative options like implants, bridges, and full-mouth reconstructions restore function and beauty for patients with worn dentition or extensive damage[4][6][7].

Specialized expertise distinguishes Expert Dental, as the team includes top NYC dentists across disciplines: general and cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, pediatric care, endodontics, oral surgery, and periodontics. Dr. Farzaneh Khezri, another key provider, brings an impressive international background, having earned her DDS and Advanced Graduate Studies in Prosthodontics from Tehran University of Medical Sciences, achieving the highest score in Canadian dental exam history, and graduating from the University of Toronto's Faculty of Dentistry with the John A. Bothwell scholarship for clinical prosthodontics excellence. Her residency at Montefiore Medical Center focused on complex smile makeovers and rehabilitations, complemented by her fluency in English and Farsi[7]. This multidisciplinary approach ensures seamless, coordinated care under one roof, eliminating the need for multiple referrals.

What truly sets Expert Dental - Midtown apart is its unique value proposition: a fusion of technological innovation, heartfelt compassion, and streamlined personalization. Unlike traditional practices with limited hours or outdated equipment, Expert Dental leverages state-of-the-art facilities for accurate, long-lasting results while fostering an environment where patients feel heard and prioritized. The team's experience spans all ages and oral health stages, building solid foundations for enduring wellness. Proximity to Grand Central Station (4, 5, 6, 7, S trains) and public transit enhances convenience for Midtown's commuters. By emphasizing education—on hygiene, diet, and maintenance—Expert Dental empowers patients for lifelong success, not just temporary fixes. In a competitive NYC landscape, this practice shines through its founder-led vision, specialist integration, and unwavering focus on the human element, making it the go-to choice for those seeking not just dental treatment, but a trusted partner in smile transformation[1][2][4][6][7].

-i went here as a new patient for a basic dental cleaning -my hygienists were ms. saba and ms. penelope and dr. park for my exam -the questions i was asked were those that were very specific and targeted to MY NEEDS and that really matters. i was NOT given generic informatio bu instead at the end, given a treatment/maintainence plan that would allow me to keep the best oral health possible based on my needs at this time -again, many areas of need were addressed with excellent inquiry on each matter such as gum health, bone erosion,genetic history, current diet, and replacement of old fillings. i have never experienced such a detailed inquiry bank at any healthcare facility, dental or medical. -absolutely superb PROFESSIONAL quality of service. the staff here works as if we are all on a college floor and being graded on every patient - they really take service very seriously AND apply actual academics from their past training

My 10-year-old daughter had an appointment with Dr. Yazdi. She came highly recommended by several people, and the reviews for Expert Dental were outstanding, so I brought my daughter here for a complicated cavity that might require a root canal. From the very beginning, the front desk—especially Penelope—was incredibly helpful. They were patient with scheduling since I live far away, and they walked me through all my options while I’m in the middle of switching insurance. I’m so grateful for the time they took to help me. Every single person who answered my many phone calls was kind, courteous, and informative. Dr. Yazdi was sweet and patient with my daughter. She explained everything in the treatment plan so clearly that I barely had any questions left to ask. I felt very reassured by her calm and thorough approach. The billing department also took the time to explain every detail of the treatment costs with both my current insurance and my upcoming insurance for next year. The entire office runs smoothly, is very clean, and every staff member we interacted with was friendly. From start to finish, the experience was excellent. I have full confidence in their ability to take care of my girl, and I’m grateful we found this practice.

Everyone in the office is very nice and understanding. They were able to work with my less than ideal HMO plan and get me a crown that I needed. Dr. Kwok did my crown work and was so patient. Dr. Charms saw me for a filling that had broken off and he was able to refer me to Dr. Kwok for prompt work despite his busy schedule that day. Dr. Gao helped me plan my treatment going forward and she was clear and patient in explaining everything. Rubina the treatment coordinator is a life saver!

Kudos to everyone at Expert Dental on a job well done! I had a front upper dental bridge installed last week after losing a tooth. I could not afford an implant but was advised by Dr Khezri a more affordable option for me was the bridge. I want to give a huge shoutout to all involved for helping me smile again with confidence at almost 68 years old! Special thanks to Dr Khezri and assistant Maria as well as everyone else at the front desk. One last special thank you to Zaida who helped me along these past few trying months with so much support and kindness to this old Jersey City guy! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, your help and kindness will never be forgotten. Sincerely and with respect… James(Jim) Houzner

Dr. Ma at Expert Dental was fantastic. I needed a crown and was able to get a same-day crown done, which was incredibly convenient. The entire process was smooth and efficient, and I didn’t have to come back for multiple appointments. Dr. Ma explained everything clearly and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. The crown fits perfectly and looks great. I really appreciated how easy and stress-free the experience was. Highly recommend Dr. Ma and Expert Dental!
