About

Tribeca Dental Care's mission centers on providing outstanding cosmetic and preventative dental care while ensuring every patient feels at ease. The practice believes that the simplest path to a beautiful smile is through maintaining healthy teeth and gums. The doctors take time to listen to each patient's needs, clearly explain procedures and available options, and work to create a pleasant experience for patients of all ages, including children who may experience dental anxiety.
The practice offers a comprehensive range of dental services spanning preventive, cosmetic, restorative, and specialized treatments. Cosmetic services include professional-grade teeth whitening using dental-grade whitening gel that can lighten enamel by multiple shades in a single visit, and Invisalign Clear Braces—a discreet alternative to traditional braces using clear plastic spacers. Restorative services encompass fillings, crowns, inlays, onlays, dental implants, and dental bonding to restore chipped or discolored teeth. Preventive care includes routine checkups and cleaning with x-rays and periodontal exams. The practice also specializes in periodontal treatments, including anti-bacterial treatments, laser gum treatment for enhanced bacterial elimination, and scaling and root planing for deep cleaning in cases of serious infection. Tooth replacement options include bridges, dentures (partial or full), and dental implants using specialized titanium screws anchored into the jawbone.
What sets Tribeca Dental Care apart is its seamless integration of dental expertise with personal comfort and care. The practice utilizes the latest and best treatments for all procedures and encourages regular dental visits by making each patient feel welcome and understood. The staff's commitment to patient education means that patients leave not only with improved dental health but also with enhanced knowledge of dental hygiene and care. The practice recognizes the anxiousness some patients experience and takes great care and caution with major procedures such as bridges, crowns, and root canals, ensuring the patient's comfort is of utmost importance.
