Quick dental aesthetics-fix in NYC?

May 29, 2009 9:38 AM

Top-notch dentist or prosthodontist in NYC to fix small chip on front tooth asap.

In short, would you please recommend a top-notch dentist or prosthodontist (prosthodontist because I need to see one for a consult anyway) who gets aesthetics and is smart (i.e., sophisticated, would not ever be responsible for chiclet smiles)? An understanding of subtlety is an absolute must. Details below:

-----------------------------------------------
Chipped my left front tooth last night while kissing the boyfriend. It is a small chip, but about as big as the notch between the two front teeth - so, aesthetically upsetting to me.

I'm 23 and my smile has been basically perfect forever. The miniscule imperfections it shows have been, up til now, attractive net/net. But this one needs fixing right away.

I don't have a dentist in new york at the moment, and don't want to risk messing up my smile by going to someone who is going to file down the edge of the tooth or provide clunky bonding. (Bonding would be okay if it'd fix a blemish this small and be unnoticeable - I'm not sure what method is best to fix this, so any suggestions on the method/materials commonly used to repair a super fine, smooth edge of a front tooth (upper incisor I guess) would also be appreciated.) Thank you!! :)

I'd recommend Bayside Dental Associates. They're pricey as hell, and they're in Queens, but they will get the job done right.

Here's my typical pitch for Norman Dental in Greenpoint. Steps from the G train's Nassau stop.

I recommend Dental Spa in Park Slope.
