There's so much that can be done these days to improve the appearance of a person's smile - at any age.
Your child won't keep his or her first teeth forever, but that doesn't mean those tiny pearly whites don't need conscientious care. Maintaining your child's dental health now will provide health benefits well into adulthood, as primary (baby) teeth serve some extremely important functions. For one thing, primary teeth serve as guides for the eruption of permanent (adult) teeth, holding the space into which these new teeth will erupt. The crowns (tops) of the permanent teeth actually push against the roots of the baby teeth, causing them to resorb, or melt away.

Dr. sachs is an amazing doctor and his staff are so nice! I came to Dr. Sachs after years of trauma and he's helped me so much. He's patient and really cares about you. Can't recommend him enough!

I would pass on this place. Dr. Sachs is nice, but I only saw him once in the four times I went here. I guess I got push over to the sub-par detest. But more important, they person that cleaned my teeth was too ruff and acted like it was a race. And the biggest issue I have is the front desk people are terrible. They only listen to each other and not to customer and anything outside of handing them a credit card is bothering them.

They hate it when you tell them they mess up again on something. Maybe if they focused on their job and not taking about what they did last night, what they are doing tonight and what they are doing this weekend, they would make less mistakes. People can hear you talking in the lobby kids! Find some place that is more professional and takes time to clean our teeth and shows its customers the respect they should be getting.

5 star dentist! Dr Sachs, Dr Cruz and the staff here are outstanding. I always felt like they went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and to answer any of my questions. All my cleanings and fillings were great too. Highly recommend them!

I have genetically weak teeth, a fear of the dentist, love for sweets.a recipe for tooth decay, and had bad dental work done all my life. So I needed more than just fillings replaced, etc.; there was a lot of work that needed to be done. Enter Dr. Joseph Sachs. I became aware of Dr. Sachs when my teeth had gotten so bad that I was embarrassed to even smile; not a good thing for anyone, but especially bad for a litigator.

I knew it was time for me to see a really good dentist. This was about 15+ years ago, and I must tell you that I was only looking for a good dentist; the thought that there might be an exceptional dentist never even occurred to me. I am not the kind of person that is prone to overstatement or exaggeration; I choose my words carefully and with precision.

By "exceptional" I mean better than anyone I could have possibly imagined, and in every aspect of his expertise, personality, approach, empathy, and touch. Dr. Sachs is that rare professional who not only an expert in his field, but is detail oriented and a terrific communicator. In my opinion, Dr. Sachs is the paradigm of what a dentist should be.

He actively listened to me and understood my concerns/fears. He educated me and respected my time, and he maintains a clean office with an equally terrific staff. Of paramount importance to me is that he genuinely cares and is a perfectionist in his work (which is masterful). I met Dr. Sachs through a recommendation from one of my colleagues. Of immediate concern were a host of issues, but, to cut to the chase, I required many root canals, caps and I cannot imagine going through what I did with anyone other than Dr. Sachs.

Because of my situation, I understood at the time that I would need implants in 10-12 years. When that time hit (a little over 2 years ago, I put it off (let's be honest, I love Dr. Sachs, but does anyone really WANT to have an implant?). Actually, I needed several implants and could not put it off any longer because I understood the negative effect on the jaw bone that occurs from failing to timely address the need for an implant. Dr. Sachs works very closely with a dental surgery office he recommends, so, I visited with their office and found them to be equally incredible, and in conjunction with Dr. Sachs, I had all of the necessary implants completed.

Not only was the work relatively painless and completed on schedule, but most importantly, I can honestly say that I could not be happier with the entire process, and especially the result. All I can add is a sincere and heartfelt thank you Dr. Sachs.much love and respect for the work you do! They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, so.see for yourself!

Dr. Cruz is an absolute GEM! I've been to a variety of dentists and he is the best by far! He is prompt with appointments and actually quite fast. He and his team are very thorough! He adjusts to your comfort level and constantly asks for reassurance is you're feeling ok. He is very gentle yet thorough. My husband and I along with our kids having been seeing him for years. Wonderful wonderful wonderful!

I'm a new patient of Dr. Sachs couldn't be more happy with the service I received last week. Having been a loyal patient to my dentist in Philadelphia for many years, I thought it was time to find the right dentist here in NYC. Dr. Sachs's team emailed all of the intake forms prior to my visit which make my introduction to the office fast and efficient.

I also appreciate all of the Covid safety protocol and questions that are asked before you enter the office and once you arrive. As for the x-rays, cleaning and exam, the tech, hygienists, and Dr. Sachs, were so lovely, gentle and thorough. My pearly whites are happy again and I am grateful to have found this team.

Terrible experience here. The office manager is so rude. She was so passive aggressive and nasty. With so many other dental offices in the area, you'd think they would treat patients better.

Reception desk isn't very friendly & welcoming. Especially if you have any insurance questions and or issues. Staff was eating at the front desk. The dental rooms smelled like food. I kept thinking the whole time maybe the office isn't sanitary. Not professional at all.

I have been seeing Dr. Sachs and Dr. Cruz for over 15 years and they are incredible. Both are compassionate, knowledgeable and meticulous in their work. I trust them both without question and fully endorse this practice. Also, the staff is super professional and sets a warm and competent tone from the moment you walk in.

Dr Sachs saved me! I tripped and fell and chipped my two front teeth. I was immediately seen by Dr Sachs and he gave me natural temporaries. The procedure was painless and Dr Sachs was very calming. He reassured me everything was going to be okay and gave me a plan for my permanent teeth. I got my teeth cleaned and bleached in my next few appointments and the hygienist and assistant were lovely. Soon after I got my permanent teeth and they look even better than my original teeth! I can't recommend him enough!

Going to the dentist is usually not something people look forward to. I can honestly say that I look forward to visiting Dr. Sachs. The office is spotless, has the most updated and modern equipment that is to be had, and the staff is wonderful. I love the fact that when I needed a crown they were able to build a new one for me all in one visit. I highly recommend you give them a try. You will realize what you've been missing all these years!

After years of great experiences here, I finally broke down and tried my husband's dentist after much urging. Big mistake (sorry, Hubby). I'll be booking my next appointment with Dr. Sachs ASAP. All I can say is that I'm sorry I ever strayed!

I've been coming to Dr Sachs and Dr Cruz for about 20 yrs now. I love the attention and I always look forward in my regular 6 months appointments. Everyone is always friendly and knowledgeable. There always up to date with the latest technology. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone.

I judge a dentist by how their staff functions, whoever was answering phones today didn't have time to be courteous with my questions. Guess they can afford to hang up on possible future patients. Key word is possible, because now I will be looking elsewhere. And I did find a more amiable person to speak with, they will get my business. Thank you American Dental NY for hiring good staff!

Dr Joseph Sachs has been my family's Dentist for over 15 years now and couldn't be happier. Him and his staff are extremely professional, attentive and very accommodating. I have to drive into the City for our appointments but it's so worth it to us. I would never consider replacing him for anybody else, not matter the distance. His office is so clean and love that they keep up on the latest technology, which is another plus! I highly recommend Dr Sachs to all my family and friends!

The best doctors & dental staff in NY. My daughter recently had her exam with Dr. Cruz. She had 2 cavities and fillings done without shedding a tear. I think I was more worried about it being a painful experience then she was. He was so wonderful with her, such a gentle hand she looks forward to her next visit. The doctors and all the staff here are wonderful!

Dr. Sachs is knowledgeable, professional and thorough! Office Staff provides prompt and courteous service. Hygienists truly give a superior cleaning. Shocked by the few negative reviews - all seem finance-related. People don't try to malign someone's character because of your insurance problems.

After having poor experiences with a number of dentists, a friend recommended that I see Dr. Sachs. I have never looked back. Both he and Dr. Cruz are wonderful. I even decided to have them straighten my teeth with Invisalign and could not have hoped for better results.

I don't need to go overseas for a dentist, Dr. Sachs has been my dentist for over 10 years. Dr. Sacks is a perfectionist, super friendly and I trust his judgement and advice. He let's you know that he really cares and you can also see those qualities in his staff.

Always a great experience. Everybody in the office is wonderful, Dr. Sachs always goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable during the procedure. He managed to save my tooth and have a crown ready in an hour. Try and find that somewhere else. N.B. - The crown is perfect. Looks just like the original tooth.

Dr Cruz is the Best No Pain Dentist I know. Even if had no dental insurance I would pay out of pocket with no hesitation!

I had great experiences for the past couple years, but I will not go back after the poor customer service of both the staff AND Dr. Sachs. My insurance covers 90% of cavities, and I was quoted a bill of a $250 copay for 2 cavities, implying that the cost of filling a cavity is $1,000 each. However, the previous day I called and I asked the price and the office staff gave me a reasonable number, $90 copay after insurance.

When I asked for further clarification of the bill, Dr. Sachs himself came out and said I was wasting his time and that I should call before the appointment to confirm. I DID call, but Dr. Sachs would not listen to what I had to say. This is not a patient, empathetic doctor that you want to have a drill in your mouth. The staff also became very defensive about their actions when I asked why they are charging $1,000+ per cavity. Be very careful of how they are billing your insurance company.

Cracked a molar and was seen within hours. Dr Sachs re-shaped/prepped the molar for a crown that was made on-the-spot/in-house within an hour.and it was perfect. Crown's in his office are made within an hour using a laser wand measuring device (CAD 3D?) that perfectly replicates the exact dimensions of your tooth (before and after re-shape prepping).

This minimizes your time spent in office, avoiding multiple visits. Time saved, excellent results, great staff, and one-stop shop. Thanks much to Dr Sachs and staff! PS-The crown is PERFECT!

Dr. Cruz is the best! I am terrified of the dentist and he is so gentle and kind it makes it okay. And, he's super fun to chat with. Office in general is great. Pretty easy to get an appointment. Nice staff.

Dr Sachs and Dr Cruz are amazing dentists! Take that from someone who really has despised going to dentists for most of his life. They both have a very calming manner and are honest in thier manner. Dr Sachs and Dr Cruz are both extremely thorough and dedicated. The whole support staff are also very professional too. I have been going here since 2005 and would recommend to ALL my family and friends. The office is spotless. This is the only dentist that I wish to go to in NYC.

Amazing experience every time, warm and friendly staff, high tech equipment and the brilliant Dr Sachs who is nearing the end of giving me a fantastic smile. Dr Cruz is great too except he gave me all the injections lol BUT I felt no pain or discomfort at all. These guys deliver on what they tell you they can do. I cannot speak highly enough of them

I have gotten my teeth cleaned here twice. Both times I was able to make an appointment in a reasonable amount of time. They assist very nicely and the process of getting started there is very easy, as is check in each time I go. The staff is extremely friendly and see you on-time. The dental hygienists I have had are gentle, thorough and very nice.

They know exactly what to do and do it in a timely manner. The dentist then comes in and spends time reviewing, and chatting. Both dentists I have had are very friendly and knowledgeable. They have made suggestions for anything I have asked and take their time to answer my questions. I would highly recommend Joseph S Sachs to anyone!

Dr. Sachs is absolutely fantastic. And so is Dr. Cruz and ALL the staff. When my front tooth (veneer) cracked a week before my trip to Asia, no one would fix it. "Oh, that will take two weeks, " several dentists told me. In three business days, Dr. Sachs fixed the broken tooth, took impressions and got the new veneer in place. And it looks gorgeous. Stunning. Dr. Sachs is a brilliant dentist. And he is charming and gracious--and very funny! All the staff is warm and caring. And he has all the latest equipment. I wish I had discovered him years ago.

My doctor here is Dr. Cruz, and I give this place 5 stars because he is just amazing. I've had 3 root canals here and I didn't think it could go as easily as they have. Dr. Cruz is very informative and makes sure you're aware of everything that's about to happen with the procedure. He's comforting and wants to make sure you don't feel pain and are comfortable.

I definitely recommend him as a dentist, he makes me feel better about the mess of a tooth situation I have. He always has a way of making you feel like your problem can be solved and that you'll be okay in the end. I hate going to the dentist. I once hadn't gone in over 5 years, but he makes it worth it!

I have been seeing Dr. Sachs for about two years and I am a fan. I hate going to the dentist, so it's no small recommendation on my part to recommend this office. Here are some of the reasons you should go to Dr. Sachs: - Good work on my teeth, for the most part painlessly. I have had cavities refilled, chips fixed, a bridge, and a deep cavity filled that Dr. Sach's saved from having to be a root canal. - Dr. Sach's definitely takes his time to make sure the work he is doing is perfect.

We spent a lot of time making sure my bridge was perfect, and I really appreciate that, as it cost me a lot of money. - Dr. Sach's uses the newest technology. Gone is the putty to take an impression of your teeth. Hello laser technology to perfectly map your teeth and create the perfect custom cap, or bridge in my case. - Dr. Sach's is a bit of a chatty-kathy, and I find this to be a comforting trait in someone digging around in my mouth with a mini power drill. - Dr. Sach's responds to calls to his emergency service pretty darn quickly. - Good recommendations for specialist.

I needed all four wisdom teeth pulled and Dr. Sachs's hooked me up with Dr. Ward (see my Yelp review), who is a god among oral surgeons. - Danny, the Dental Hygienists has a good attitude and does not berate you for your recent imperfect flossing habits. He gently nudges you to floss more regularly, dropping hints throughout the cleaning on ways to incorporate more flossing into your daily routine, and by the end of the appointment I always leave swearing I will take his advice and floss more. The only downside to this office is sometimes you end up waiting a bit past your scheduled time to be seen.
