Dental Services at Riverside Dental Care

At Riverside Dental Care, we are very pleased to offer our patients superior dental treatment in a friendly and caring atmosphere. Here, we take no shortcuts in our treatments. The right care is excellent care, every time. We treat each patient like we would treat a family member, with advice on the best way to preserve oral health and a beautiful smile. 


We take our responsibility to educate every patient quite seriously. In our years in practice in the Upper West Side, we have seen that a well-educated patient has a much better chance of preserving their teeth and preventing high dental costs in the future. 


We hope you will come experience our gentle care. Even our patients who are fearful about dental care find that we can help them relax while they are here. Some patients are surprised at how comfortable they can be during even challenging treatments. Since we are located in Manhattan, we know our patients are busy. That’s why we keep to our schedule, so you can keep to yours. We promise to listen to you and your concerns and explain the treatment you need. Think of us when it comes time for your next dental need.

General and Preventative

  • Dental Exams and X-Rays

    Thorough examinations and x-rays on a regular schedule are excellent ways to prevent serious problems from ever getting started. We help each patient maintain an ideal schedule by booking their next appointment ahead of time and sending reminders. 

  • Dental Cleanings

    Our dental hygienists will not only remove every bit of tartar from your smile, they will give it a good polish, removing stains and any traces of plaque. They’ll also educate you on any improvements to your at-home care that might better protect your teeth until your next visit.

  • Gum Disease Care

    When there are signs of gum disease like bleeding gums when brushing or flossing or sore, puffy areas in your gums, treatment in our office should be scheduled quickly. Gum disease increases your risk of cavities, bone loss and infections in the teeth or gums. With proper treatment, gum disease can be reversed. 

  • Oral Hygiene

    For every patient from our very youngest one to our senior citizens, education on the right way to maintain oral hygiene is essential. We can recommend products and procedures to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy and your breath fresh.

  • Pediatric Dental Care

    We love to get our youngest patients started off right. It is an honor for us when parents bring their children to us for their first examinations. We know that a lifetime of healthy teeth might well depend on those first gentle examinations and treatment.

  • Oral Cancer Screenings

    You may not realize we are screening you for cancer every time you visit our office. We will look at your face, lips, gums, tongue, inside your cheeks and the rest of your mouth for any sign that could indicate oral cancer. If we find anything irregular, we will help you understand your next step.

  • Snoring and Sleep Apnea

    Heavy snoring and sleep apnea are so hard on an individual because they disrupt restful sleep. They are also hard for a spouse or anyone else nearby. We can help a person who snores or suffers with sleep apnea by fitting him or her with an appliance that keeps the airway open and helps provide more restful nights.

  • Night Guard

    Most people who grind their teeth at night don’t even realize it is happening. We may be the first to know when we discover worn-down teeth or broken fillings. A night guard helps stop the nighttime damage so teeth and dental work are protected.

Emergency Dentistry

Almost everyone needs emergency dentistry at some point in their lives. We make a point of fitting patients with emergency needs into our schedule the first moment possible. Call us as soon as an emergency arises. 

Cosmetic and Restorative

  • Tooth-Colored Fillings

    Today’s tooth-colored fillings are preferred by our patients over the older, metal fillings that would darken with age. Now, when you smile or laugh, your friends and family will only see your beautiful smile, not dark fillings. 

  • Dental Bonding

    The same material used for tooth-colored fillings has many other uses. This is a fast and easy solution for problems like chipped or fractured teeth, a severely discolored tooth or one or more teeth that are too short or a different shape than the other teeth. We can also use bonding to eliminate gaps between some teeth, especially the front teeth.

  • Dental Inlays and Onlays

    These lab-created restorations are the best solutions when large fillings are needed or if a tooth fractures. An inlay fits down between the points (cusps) of a tooth while an onlay does the same but also replaces one or more of these points.

  • Dental Bridges

    We take pride in the fit and appearance of dental bridges that replace one or more teeth. A bridge that matches other teeth exactly in both shape and color maintains the beauty of your smile.

  • Root Canal Therapy

    Properly-done root canal therapy helps you preserve a tooth after an infection has damaged the inner pulp and nerve. In our relaxed, calm and friendly environment, our patients realize that a root canal procedure can easily be tolerated.

  • Dental Implants

    The best way to replace missing teeth, dental implants are closest to the appearance and function of your natural teeth. A titanium implant substitutes for the root of your tooth and a white ceramic crown stands in for the crown of your natural tooth.

  • Teeth in a Day

    In just one day, you can receive dental implants along with the white porcelain crowns that replace your missing teeth. Please call us to learn more about this special procedure.

  • Complete and Partial Dentures

    We only know one way to provide complete and partial dentures for our patients: the right way. We make sure they fit perfectly and align the muscles and bones of your face just right. Comfort is a big part of workable dentures so we won’t quit perfecting their fit until you are happy.

  • Porcelain Veneers

    We love the rapid change we can create in a patient’s smile with veneers. There are multiple veneer systems we can utilize to improve the shape, spacing, color or alignment of a patient’s teeth. Lumineers require minimal preparation of a tooth’s surface before the veneer is placed. 

  • Porcelain Crowns

    A crown is the perfect way to protect a tooth that has been weakened with a deep cavity or fracture. After root canal therapy, a crown strengthens and protects a tooth, extending its useful life, possibly for many decades.

  • Teeth Whitening

    Dark-colored drinks, age, medications and other influences can darken teeth. This change can make a person reluctant to smile or laugh. A rapid teeth-whitening procedure utilizing the Zoom! system can restore significant brightness to your smile in a very short time.

  • Invisalign

    Are you unhappy with the alignment of your teeth? Are there gaps? An overbite or underbite? Invisalign is a modern, almost-invisible way to correct the spacing and alignment of teeth without announcing your treatment to the world.

  • Extractions

    While we try to save every tooth possible, it is sometimes best if a tooth is removed. We will care for you all the way through an extraction, and ensure you are as comfortable as possible. We won’t rush you but will explain each step as it comes up.

At Riverside Dental Care, you will never feel like you’re on an assembly line. You’ll always have the sense that your health and comfort are our primary concerns. At our office, you can get nearly every dental treatment you may ever need, all under one roof. Our comprehensive treatment choices mean that you may never need to travel to a different practice. 


Come visit us on the Upper West Side at West End Avenue and West 70th Street and see how we are different than many dental offices you may have visited in the past. Compare our friendly and familial atmosphere to other dental offices you have been to. We are dedicated to offering you superior care and a more pleasant, relaxed experience. We welcome patients from Manhattan, Brooklyn and all remaining boroughs. 


We look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your family soon.
