How experienced are your Chelsea Studio dentists?
Our Chelsea Studio dentists are graduates of respected dental schools, and have all trained in highly-rated residency programs. All of our dentists take continuing education courses in order to stay current with all of the latest techniques and research. They’re led by our Clinical Director, Dr. Marc Schlenoff, a former Program Director at the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine in Manhattan.
How will I know which dentist or hygienist I’ll be seeing?
Before your visit, we’ll give you a call to say hi and answer any questions you may have. We’ll also tell you a bit about the dentist you’re going to see. If there’s someone in particular you’re hoping to be seen by, feel free to call us at (212) 406-3686.
What if I want to reschedule with a different dentist or hygienist than the one I've been paired with?
Totally fine! Just give us a call at (212) 686-3686.
How do I reschedule or cancel my appointment?
Call us at (888) 818-3686. Just make sure to do so more than 48 hours before your appointment time. If you cancel or reschedule less than 48 hours in advance, we’ll have to charge you a $50 fee. If you don’t make it at all, we’ll have to charge you a $75 fee. This is because we reserved that time specifically for you, and our appointments are in high demand.
What services do you offer?
Our NYC Manhattan dental offices offer a full range of preventative, restorative, and cosmetic dental services. For preventative and restorative dental care, we offer routine exams, implants, and everything in between. For cosmetic care, we’ll help you redesign your smile with orthodontics, whitening, and veneers. Read more about our services.
Do you do pediatric dentistry?
We currently do not see children under 13, but we are more than happy to recommend pediatric dentists in Manhattan. Just give us a call at (212) 686-3686.
Do appointments really start on time?
We make a superhuman effort to start every visit on time. If you do have to wait, you probably won’t even have time to finish the Beyoncé song in your headphones. Our average wait time is 3 minutes.
