Bella Dental

Dr Wen Li Cavallo is the best dentist. Her chairside humor and warm conversations get me through some of the toughest visits. I had an emergency root canal. The tooth was triggering migraines so I was nearly immobilized when my family brought me in. She saw me quickly and gave me a root canal that was painless. I know it sounds impossible but I left there with a smile after a root canal and a filling! She has a gentle touch. wait till you hear this! My next visit I had a bad toothache. I thought I needed a filling but she had to extract the wisdom tooth. I agreed because she is just the most comforting and experienced dentist! She numbed me and honestly it was just a few expert movements and the tooth was out! I mean like a gnarly root tooth all the way in the back and she got that sucker out in one swift move. Now that’s skill. And she has me laughing afterwards and comforted during the process. I love her! Go to her! Your welcome in advance!

I was originally matched with Dr. Li Cavallo after calling to find a weekend appointment somewhere in the city after having lived here for over three years without a dentist visit! That was in 2009, and we’ve since moved to Brooklyn, but we still make the trek every few months and continue to recommend her to all of our friends!

LOOK NO FURTHER, DR. LI-​CAVALLO IS THE RIGHT DENTIST FOR YOU!
Dr. Li-​Cavallo is LITERALLY THE BEST!
She’s professional, friendly, and most important of all, she cares about the patient!
I had my wisdom tooth extraction done with her, as well as my routine cleaning. I use to HATE the dentist sooo much, just thinking about it makes me nervous. She makes sure to ensure that I was comfortable at ALL times by constantly asking if I was okay, and if I felt any pain, I can let her know. The staff there are great! They are all so friendly and patient! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Dr. Li-​Cavallo and staff are the most attentive, thorough and caring dental health care providers in New York City! I was worried after a few years of going to average or below average dentists in the city that there aren’t any dentists that care much anymore. Good thing I found her. She’s at a super convenient location in lower Manhattan and I get the best dental care now. Woot!

This is my story of how I found Dr. Li-​Cavallo.
I was stressed out and freaking out about my temporary crown that crack from biting too hard into a mango seed while I was at work. Yes, you read that right, a mango seed. I wanted to crawl under a giant rock and cry. I actually went home and cried under my giant security blank. I refused to go back to my orthodontist, who shall not be named, who did the initial crown work on me. He just lost his touch and didn’t seem to care about the quality of his work anymore. After I ran out of tears to cry I went on ZocDoc and went on an epic, dizzying quest to find a dentist who would be the right fit for me and who would take my crappy dental insurance. The cracked-​tooth and puffy-​eyed me eventually found Dr. Li-Cavallo’s profile.
Dr. Li-​Cavallo is simply AMAZING! She explained more to me about my oral health condition than any other dentist I ever visited. Apparently, my orthodontist pretty much butchered the gum tissue surrounding my problem tooth. My gum was inflamed for a year! With two visits, Dr. Li carefully treated the gum area to make sure were stabilized and good shape before she did any crown work. She is very METICULOUS about every detail! For example, the crown arrived from the dental lab (one of the top dental labs in the country, BTW), but she was not satisfied with the product and sent it back with more detailed information of what she wanted to the dental technicians. I’m glad she did! My crown is beautiful and blends in with the rest of my teeth for a natural look. I even smile a lot more now, which is .
Her team at Bella Dental are also great and super nice. Ashley, Semana, Kelly, and Evelyn are all really great and nice to talk to. This dental office does not overbook patients in a day so that you’re not waiting hours for your turn. This is good because this allows the team and Dr. Li to give you a little more privacy, comfort, and attention. I actually look forward to going to the dentist now. I even referred my boyfriend to Dr. Li! If you’re looking for a dentist then look no further– I found one for you. You’re welcome.

Best dentist in the city!
Dr Li-​Cavallo is the best, as well as the staff. Great service.

I’ve never written a review on Unilocal before. But this was such a good experience. I haven’t always enjoyed dentist visits. I usually go into them with anxiety because of past bad experiences. Dr. Li-​Cavallo was amazing. She was personable, attentive, genuinely interested in hearing what I had to say before she started work on me. As a result, when she started the work, I was relaxed and comfortable. She did great work as well. Very competent, very intelligent and very easy to work with. That’s the first time in my life I’ve said that about a dentist.

Today was my first visit to Bella Dental. Dr. Li-​Cavallo was one of the most knowledgeable, kind and caring dentist in NYC!
Her explanations are very clear and warm and I was able to relax during procedure.
I already set up my cleaning at the end of this month and really look forward to her service. I will definitely recommend Bella Dental!

Great service as usual, 5 stars all around. Dr. Li-​Cavallo is one of the most professional, knowledgeable and patient dentist I’ve had the fortune to met. I’ve been using her for years and each time, I’ll tell myself to post a review but each time, life happens and I’ll forget so here it is. My kids come here too and each time, no issues and no complaints. Highly recommend them!

I highly recommend Dr. Li-​Cavallo! I had a cleaning and x-​rays taken. She and her receptionist were very friendly and professional. Dr. Li-​Cavallo was very thorough, and it was the least painful cleaning I think I’ve ever had! She even took the time to explain my x-​rays to me. I will definitely go to her from now on!

Dr. Wen Li-​Cavallo was great. My cleaning was the most painless I’ve ever had; she explained that it was because she moves quickly before the nerves have time to react. She also took the time to explain my dental condition, pointing out issues but assuring me that they could be solved with self-​care, rather than trying to scare me into treatment plans. I walked out with a nifty toothbrush package and a happy mouth.
PROS: Weekend hours; minimal wait time; careful work; great bedside manner.
CON: the entryway and office are outdated (for those who mind that sort of thing).
