About
Nestled in the vibrant Flatiron District of Manhattan, SAMA Oral Health, under the expert guidance of Dr. Jaskaren Randhawa, represents a paradigm shift in modern dental care. More than just a dental practice, SAMA—a name meaning 'peace' and 'tranquility' in Sanskrit—is founded on the principle of creating a serene, patient-centered environment where cutting-edge dentistry meets holistic wellness. Dr. Randhawa, a highly skilled and compassionate dentist, has established this practice as a sanctuary for those who have experienced dental anxiety or seek a more meaningful, educational, and personalized approach to their oral health. The practice's philosophy is rooted in the understanding that oral health is intrinsically linked to overall systemic health, and its mission is to provide comprehensive care that addresses not just symptoms but the root causes and the individual behind the smile.
Dr. Jaskaren Randhawa's journey to founding SAMA Oral Health is built upon a formidable academic and clinical foundation. Her pursuit of excellence led her to prestigious institutions, shaping her into a practitioner who values precision, empathy, and continuous learning. This educational backdrop informs every aspect of the practice, from diagnosis to treatment planning. SAMA Oral Health distinguishes itself through its commitment to minimally invasive dentistry, prioritizing preservation of natural tooth structure and employing advanced technology to ensure treatments are as conservative, effective, and comfortable as possible. The practice is designed to feel like a retreat from the bustling city streets below, with a calming aesthetic, thoughtful amenities, and a team dedicated to ensuring every patient feels heard, respected, and at ease.
What truly sets SAMA Oral Health apart is its unique value proposition centered on partnership and education. Dr. Randhawa invests significant time in patient consultations, explaining conditions, discussing all potential treatment options (including the choice to do nothing), and empowering patients to make informed decisions aligned with their health goals and values. This collaborative model demystifies dentistry and builds long-term trust. The practice's service scope is comprehensive, covering everything from routine preventive care and sophisticated cosmetic enhancements to complex restorative treatments and oral surgery, all delivered with the same high standard of care.
Furthermore, SAMA Oral Health leverages state-of-the-art technology, such as digital scanners and advanced imaging, to enhance diagnostic accuracy, improve patient comfort by eliminating traditional impressions, and allow for precise, predictable outcomes. Dr. Randhawa’s expertise in biomimetic dentistry—a philosophy focused on restoring teeth in a way that mimics natural structure and function—exemplifies her dedication to longevity and health-focused solutions rather than quick fixes. In a city with no shortage of dental providers, SAMA Oral Health carves out a distinctive niche by combining expert clinical skill with an unparalleled patient experience, a holistic health perspective, and a genuine, warm demeanor that turns apprehensive patients into advocates for their own oral wellness. It is a practice built for the discerning individual who views dental care not as a transactional necessity but as a vital component of their overall health and self-care regimen.

Customer Reviews
I had such a great experience with the entire SAMA dental team. The office is absolutely beautiful and modern—it honestly feels more like a MedSpa than a typical dental office. The atmosphere is calm, welcoming, and full of positive energy. I also loved the tea menu in the waiting room (I went with lemon ginger green tea 😎).
I had a regular cleaning, a deep laser cleaning, two fillings, Zoom teeth whitening, bonding on my top four front teeth, and was fitted for a night guard. The technology they use is really impressive—seeing the 3D model of my teeth was so cool and made everything easy to understand.
Thank you so much to Dr. Randhawa, Merssy, Ahmed, and Pema for taking such great care of me. Everyone was kind, professional, and made the whole experience comfortable and easy. I’ll definitely be recommending this office to friends in NYC!
And to anyone giving this place less than five stars—maybe grab a cannoli across the street at Eataly and rethink it 😉 This entire team is nothing but class!
I absolutely love coming to SAMA Oral health! First of all, there is yet to be a more stylish dental office in New York. Dr. Jas And the whole team are very professional and amazing at what they do and I couldn’t recommend them enough. Here’s me smiling after my standard cleaning, I also added fluoride for my overall teeth health.
I’ve been going to SAMA since April of this year and I’m regretting not going sooner. The new technology Dr. Jas uses together with the additional heath benefits she offers makes her a pioneer in the dental industry! Her office team, Merssy, Melanie and Kayla are all so sweet and welcoming. You truly feel like you’re coming to a Spa as opposed to a dental check up. I just completed a crown which feels amazing and did a quick sauna session afterwards. Something I would not be able to do at a regular dentist office.
Sama was an incredible experience! I have been in the market for a holistic dentist and Dr Jas exceeded my expectations! Not only does she truly care about her patients, she has the most amazing team like Kayla and Mercy who are attentive and communicative to patients needs. Dr Jas also has the most beautiful office space that was featured in top publications and makes you feel like you’re at a luxury spa instead of a dentist office. She’s so experienced and caring, with the most high tech equipment to properly diagnose and treat my dental needs and concerns. I highly recommend Sama and Dr Jas to anyone looking for the best holistic dental experience and team in town.
Going to Sama is more like going to the Spa than the Dentist. They go to every effort to make sure patients feel comfortable - Kayla made me feel immediately welcome offering water/tea when I arrived and a comfort menu to ensure a great experience. Both Pamela, who did my cleaning, and Dr R were really professional and communicative to make sure I understood what was going well but also very nice and patient to explain what I needed to work on. At the end of the appt Merssy took the time to walk through all the financials with me of what my insurance would cover and what my options were. I'll definitely be returning!
