At NYC Smile Spa, we are committed to your complete oral health. Often, patients believe that their dental care only involves the state of their teeth, when that can’t be further from the truth. When you visit our office for an oral hygiene examination and cleaning, we are not only cleaning the teeth and looking for tooth decay but also examining the health of your gums. September is National Gum Care Month, a time when we help people understand the importance of healthy gums. More than half of American adults experience gum disease at some point during their lifetime.
It is not uncommon for people who are afraid of the dentist to avoid visiting for routine dental care and recommended treatments. Unfortunately, this will only lead to more serious and complex dental issues. We are passionate about helping our patients overcome their fears to get the dental care they need. Read on to learn more about how we can help you and your loved ones who may suffer from these anxious and fearful feelings.
At NYC Smile Spa, we are happy to help our patients who wish to straighten their teeth. We offer patients Invisalign® as an orthodontic treatment.

This summer marks 40 years since NYC Smile Spa formed, and what a marvelous 40 years it has been. Developing and growing with this practice has been an achievement of a lifetime, and we could not have done it without the incredible dental family we have built together.

At NYC Smile Spa, we encourage our patients to visit our office for a routine hygiene examination and cleaning every four to six months. The time between visits is determined based on the state of your oral health. Children, teens, and most adults should visit the dentist every six months, while those with conditions like gum disease will need to see us more often. During these visits, we can determine quite a few things about your brushing habits as well as the types of foods you eat and some of your habits.
It is important that patients visit our office regularly for oral hygiene examinations and cleanings. These appointments are necessary because they give us the opportunity to thoroughly clean your teeth and check for problems in your mouth, such as gum disease and oral cancer. The most common problem patients experience is tooth decay, also commonly referred to as cavities. Do you know how cavities form and why they can be so harmful if not treated? Read on to learn more.
