Dental implants provide an artificial tooth to replace what is or will be missing for people who have either lost teeth or are going to need teeth extracted. It is the next best thing to having your own tooth present. The pictures below demonstrate the natural results that are now possible and were accomplished in our office with the assistance of special dental laboratories who use cad cam computer technology.
Restorative Dentistry is really a catch all phrase, describing the art of restoring damaged and lost teeth. Dentists repair decayed teeth by placing fillings. Dr. Spindel is a NYC cosmetic dentist who generally places white composite fillings which look most natural, are mercury free and are comfortable for the patient.

I've been with Dr Spindel for over a decade now. My teeth have been I. Top shape in his hands and his staff's. They are highly professional, wonderful office and location, and extremely caring. Highly recommend for routine and urgent care.

Called their 1800 number, in pain, looking for an emergency dental. The person that picked up Tony, upon hearing my name, which I admit took me a few seconds to say bc I was in pain and can barely speak hung up the phone on me, thinking of was a mistake I tried calling again this time he picked up, and promptly hung up the phone again. Thank you, I see why you've a5 STAR review here, probably friend and family

Dr. Spindel is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and ethical. I came to him on the recommendation of a friend who is also a dentist, and he said Dr. Spindel is "by-the-book" and to never see anyone else. I recently visited a dentist whose office is closer to my apartment and the difference was so great that I vowed never to stray from Dr. Spindel again! He is the best, and everyone on his staff is friendly and professional.

My teeth have been cared for by Dr Spindel and his great staff for -- hard to believe! -- some 30 years now, and they have done an excellent job. I've appreciated not only his very professional dentistry but also his openness in explaining various treatment options -- suggesting procedures but being very clear when they are not urgent or elective, and never "overselling" his services. More than happy to recommend Dr Spindel to anyone looking for a highly skilled dentist they can trust to provide sound advice. -- Larry Black

I have known Dr. Spindel for years and I consider him to be one of the best dentists in New York City. Dr. Spindel is very friendly and shows a lot of care in what he does. He makes me feel comfortable at every visit. His staff is also wonderful and there to help out in any way. I would highly recommend Dr. Spindel to anyone looking for a great dentist!

I am a retired dentist and I really appreciate having Dr. Spindel as the dentist for myself and my family. He is an excellent dentist and a professor at NYU College of Dentistry. He communicates well and works in partnership with his patients.

Dr. Spindel and his staff will make you feel at home during your visit. He is an excellent dentist who not only treats his patients professionally but also informs them about his treatments thoroughly. I have been his patient for 14 years and I am very happy. I recommend him to every one.

Dr. Spindel was recommended to me by my now wife, when we first met. The biggest mistake we made was finding a more conveniently located dentist near our home, and that was a painful and expensive year. From Edith at the front desk, one of the nicest people you could ever meet, to Dr. Spindel and his team of hygienists, this is a wonderful practice. Consistently good care, providing good guidance when needed and never up-selling services or treatments for the sake of them. A pleasant, clean office, relatively close to Grand Central, this will be my dental team for as long as we live in the NYC area.

By far the best dentist. He has made my smile beautiful. Caps and/or veneers Dr Spindel is so practicular, that his work will amaze you and improve your smile. I get compliments on my teeth all the time. Highly recommend.

I've been going to see Dr. Spindel for years now and so grateful to have found him and his well trained staff. After having not had such great luck with dentists in the past, I am happy to have his trustworthy opinion and pragmatic advise on maintaining my teeth's health. Go see him now if you need a dentist who will be honest and practical in the care of your teeth.

I've had a few great dentists in my life. But, Dr. Spindel has two things that sets him apart from the rest. First, he never stops studying and teaching, meaning that is more up to date on the latest research and skills than nearly any dentist out there. Secondly, he is immensely entertaining. He not only fixes whatever is wrong with my teeth, it is a pleasure to sit in his chair.

Dr. Spindel is The BEST dentist in NYC. I've been going to him for over 5 years and every visit gets better and better! He is personable, professional and gentle! He makes going to the dentist enjoyable and so does all of his staff!

I have been going to Dr. Spindel for more than thirty years. He is an excellent dentist. I have complete confidence in him and he has never let me down. He is totally honest and always acts in the patient's best interest in terms of treatment. He is exceptionally competent at his work. I would strongly recommend Dr. Spindel to anyone.

I have been going to Doctor Spindel for 29 years. He is an excellent dentist, and the staff is amazing. The care that has been given to me has been exceptional and one of the best things about his practice is, if you have a dental problem/emergency he will try his best to fit you in ASAP. He is extremely knowledgeable and keeps up on all the latest news and dental procedures. Highly recommended!

I wrote my first review of Dr. Spindel almost six years ago, and aside from the upgrades to his office, nothing has changed, it is still the best dental office with the best staff, EVER. Yesterday I came for a cleaning with Elena, and she is really the best! The most gentle and thorough hygienist ever. I schlepped all the way from Staten Island and took a vacation day from work just to come here! Love it!

Dr. Spindel is an excellent dentist who prides himself in doing good work. I have been a patient for more than 20 years, and he has done everything from filling cavities and executing bonding work to expertly fitting and installing crowns. I would never think of changing him as my dentist.

Dr. Spindel has been my dentist for a decade, and in my opinion, is a master at his craft. If I moved out of state or far away, then I would fly to NYC twice a year for a cleaning and checkup; why would I see someone other than the very best? NYC has a lot of dentists and I'm sure many of them are quite good, Dr. Spindel is just that much better.

I have absolute faith and trust that he is giving me the very best dental health care that science knows of. I will continue to visit twice a year for as long as he continues to practice dentistry. I am blessed to have a dentist of this caliber.

I have been going to Dr. Spindel for over 10 years and he has never steered me wrong! I tried to go to another dentist for a simple cleaning a few years ago and I still regret it. Once you've had the best, every other dentist is just mediocre. I will continue to go to Dr. Spindel as long as he allows me to.

Have been a patient of Dr Spindel ever since we moved to NYC in 1986. He is very personable but is also an excellent dentist. I recommended him to my work colleagues and they were also really pleased with his attention to detail, clear explanation of treatment options and the quality of his dental work. Friendly and caring staff, great relaxed office vibe, excellent dental hygienists. Dr Spindel is a perfectionist in the most favorable sense of that word. Highly recommended!

Dr Spindel has been my dentist now for over 15 years & I highly recommend him. I have to say It's always such a relaxing experience that I never mind having to return. (not how one usually feels about a dental visit!) His staff are fantastic and such such a pleasure. Most of of the work done has been prophylactic, but he has done some bonding, buckle and pothole work that I'm very happy with.

Dr. Spindel is one of the best dentist I have ever encountered. He is considerate and takes his time to explain things to you. He has just a good energy about him. He is a true artist at his craft. His staff is also so warm and helpful. This is one office that really cares.

I've been going to Dr. Spindel for 17 years. I'm not a big fan of dentists, but I have to say, it's been a very positive experience. I was especially happy with a crown on my front tooth he did. 15 years ago, replacing an unattractive version left over from a bike accident I had when I was seven and broke the tooth in half on a curb. Spindel and his team didn't stop till the tooth was just the right shade (front teeth are famously difficult to match, I heard later). Anyway, for what it's worth, I'm in my early fifties now and the tooth still looks good. And I'm still Dr. Spindel's patient. Today I recommended him to a co-worker. So I thought I would join Yelp, and recommend him here as well.

So far, so good. I've been going to Dr. Spindell for about four years. While I've not had really complex work done (yet), I must say that I love the atmosphere in the office, the attitude of the Doctor and his Staff. All-in-all he inspires me with confidence.

Absolutely the best! And, most importantly, Dr. Spindel is honest! With him you don't have to worry about being 'taken for a ride.' I'm so glad I trusted my instincts and recently sought out another dentist. Dr. Spindel saved me a great deal of time and money just by being honest. If I hadn't looked for another dentist, right now I'd be in the process of getting three new crowns instead of having just a filling replaced in one session.

No kidding! Thanks, Dr. Spindel, for saving my sanity and the laughs. I really enjoyed chatting with you. Julia BTW, everyone, don't forget to read all the other wonderful reviews on Yahoo Locals. There are tons.

I would recommend Dr. Spindel for several reasons: First and foremost, Dr. Spindel does excellent work. He is meticulous and gentle, two qualities that I think are very important in a dentist. If you have ever ended up with a crown that doesn't quite fit right (which happened with a previous dentist) then you will know what I mean. Second, he will take the time to explain your treatment options and help you work out a plan if you need more extensive work. Third, he is refreshingly straight forward about sharing his opinions about dentistry (and other matters.) He does not try to sell you on things you don't really need. Also, his office has very nice people working there, especially the assistant and the receptionist. Dr. Spindel was originally recommended to me by a friend. I would not hesitate to recommend him to YELPers looking for a thoughtful, caring, extremely capable dentist.

I was once of the mindset that all dentists are made equal. And then I had a very ugly experience that convinced me, on the contrary, that all dentists are made EVIL. Dr. Spindel has restored [most of] my faith. He's great: very considerate, very thorough, very nice, and very (my one warning to you) chatty. He's also practical (and is the only NYC dentist I've ever had who hasn't tried to upsell me on something). If you're looking for a decent, normal dentist, I'd recommend him in a second.
