Tribeca Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Trust all of the reviews… Dr. Fay is a goddess!!!
I got three wisdom teeth removed by her and it was an amazing and speedy recovery. The first day of surgery I felt completely fine, and there was really light to almost no bloating… Getting three removed here hurt less than getting my one wisdom tooth removed back home… Dr. Fay was so professional throughout the whole procedure, making sure I was comfortable (there were warm blankets involved) and making sure I knew how to take care of myself during the recovery (she gave me a recovery kit and even called me later in the day to check up on how I was doing…)
Everything was so efficiently well done, and I’ve never had a better experience at the dentists!
Thank you Dr. Fay~^. ^

First of all, I can’t believe I’m reviewing a dentist, but here we go. I put off having my wisdom teeth removed because of all the horror stories you hear, but Dr. Fay is amazing. First I had a consultation where we talked about the procedure and the IV sedation. I needed an appointment asap as my partner is starting school in a week and I needed him to bring me home, so when I talked to the girls up front they managed to get me in next day as there was a cancellation.
So this morning I just got all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed with iv sedation and wow I can’t believe that I’m in next to no pain. Over the 1^st 12 hours after the surgery my face slowly regained feeling, I took 1 600mg Ibuprofen around 2pm to try to get ahead of any pain, but its now 10:45pm and still no pain. The actual procedure was great also. I went in, nervous as can be. Was brought to the room, offered a warm blanket, took my HR, then gave me the IV so I would face any discomfort. I woke up about 45 mins later, feeling pretty good (thanks to the sedation), but still feel great, even managed to eat some Mac and Cheese.
I highly recommended anyone to Dr. Fay, especially if you have any fear or anxiety of wisdom tooth removal. She’s great at what she does and has a great, upbeat personality that easily calms your nerves.

All five stars on Unilocal?You’d think the people posting must work for Dr. Fay. But no, my lovely daughter — who is a professional actor, read on — had to get wisdom teeth extracted. Her regular dentist recommended Dr. Fay and we went for a consult that had to work around my kid’s shooting schedule. Of main concern was the fact that one impacted tooth lay on top of the big nerve that runs along the jaw (my kid is not ready for her botox moment and permanent nerve damage could affect her career-​wise, not to mention who wants permanent nerve damage??). Dr. Fay assured us that she would have the tooth extracted before the roots of the tooth could embed in the jaw nerve.
My daughter was also nervous about any oral surgery and wanted the general. She has allergies, so we were worried about any side effects. Dr. Fay made sure that everything she used was not something my daughter had an allergy to. The surgery was very quick and uneventful.
I took her home and applied ice packs provided by Tribeca Oral, along with administering medication. The next day the office phoned to see how she was doing. They offered additional advice, which we followed. She was off pain killers by the second day.
Three days out with minimal swelling, and my daughter was wondering «what’s the big deal about getting your wisdom teeth removed?» Other than some residual pits that should heal over time (and Dr. Fay gave her a small device at her one-​week follow-​up to keep the area clean of food particles), this was a super easy procedure and an incredibly professional staff. They did everything right, including keeping me calm and assured (I never had any wisdom teeth, so it was a new procedure for me). If we are in NYC when my son’s wisdom teeth come in (he, like his sister, has buds on the XRay), I will definitely take him here for his oral surgery.
Highly recommended.

If you are contemplating having wisdom teeth removed, go to a oral surgeon instead of a dentist. Bar none. I can say this because last Summer I had my right wisdom tooth removed by a dentist (who kinda just winged it) and this time I had my left wisdom teeth removed by an oral surgeon, Dr. Fay, and the difference was night and day.
My initial appointment was a consultation along with a panoramic. We then scheduled the extraction and while some may opt to go under, I just opted for the local anesthesia. And I am glad I did because it was the easiest procedure ever. Dr. Fay knows strategically how to numb you up (unlike the dentist who seemed to be randomly stabbing and cutting my gums on a fully erupted wisdom tooth due to his incompetence of last Summer) and she quickly and effectively was able to extract my wisdom teeth without any complication. Last Summer, the dentist I had gone to had blamed his incompetence on my wisdom tooth, my taking my wisdom teeth out at my age, and then broken the tooth into three pieces while taking it out all the while claiming he had a «good hand». And then his assistant had sent me home with a few cotton pieces in a single baggie and that was it. With Dr. Fay, she takes wisdom teeth out like a deft ninja (what a difference a real surgeon makes), with the wisdom teeth in one clean piece, and has excellent bedside manner walking the awake patient through the procedure and really putting them at ease.
The entire office is extremely professional. Everyone on the staff is sweet and puts you at ease. They give you the full cost breakdown after insurance in advance of the procedure during the consult, put vaseline on your lips during the procedure (this attention to even the small details shows the thought they put in), and even give you a care bag afterwards and call you the next day to make sure you are okay. I really appreciated the care bag as it contained a lot of cotton gauze individually and hermetically sealed, a wrap-​around ice pack to help with swelling the first day, pain medication, and post-​procedure directions. At the consult, they even give you a list of foods to buy in advance of your surgery, but I was so completely fine afterwards that I went to Whole Foods right after my procedure to buy groceries and even exercised later that same day after a nap per my usual routine. This was really the easiest procedure, Dr. Fay and staff were really exceptional, and I am very glad I went here and would most highly recommend.

Getting wisdom teeth pulled is never fun, but Dr. Fay and her staff made the procedure as comfortable as possible for me.
Dr. Fay didn’t push me to get all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled, she just pointed out which ones were more likely to cause me issues and we decided on 2. She even offered me a discounted rate since I did not have insurance.
On the day of the procedure I was made very comfortable and while getting teeth pulled is not the best thing, Dr. Fay and her staff made it as painless as possible.
I even got a call the next day from Dr. Fay checking up on me to see how I was doing.

I had been having problems with my wisdom teeth for ages and I finally got around to making an appointment here to get them removed. I went in for a consultation to understand my options. Dr. King and and his staff were all very pleasant and patient in explaining the procedure.
Dr. King presented my options and made some recommendations. He was not pushy at all and I felt very much in control of my decision to do general anesthesia since I was getting all three of my teeth removed.
We were able to set up another appointment quickly to remove my teeth the next week. On the day of the surgery, Dr. King and his staff were really nice and made very really pleasant. My face barely swelled and I felt really good for someone who had her teeth removed. Dr. King called in later on in the day to check in on me and the next day, his staff called to follow up too.
Tribeca Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery showed such great care and service that I highly recommend them!

I’ve been to Dr. King twice and each experience has been great. The first time was to remove my 4 wisdom teeth. Dr. King did a great job explaining everything, his staff was very professional, and just great.
I’m not going to lie, it was obviously not a pleasant experience (removing all 4 teeth at one time) but Dr. King’s office did everything they could to make it pleasant.

Dr. Fay is the best and if you see her you will be in excellent hands. I was very nervous about getting my wisdom teeth removed, and had been hoping to avoid it entirely (hence having waiting until I had an acute issue at almost 30 before I finally went in). Dr. Fay did her best to dispel my fears, and her confident, kind and reassuring bedside manner made me as comfortable as possible. As for the surgery itself, it went very smoothly and I had absolutely no pain. Recovery has been fairly uneventful and also almost entirely pain free, with minimal discomfort. Dr. Fay was excellent about follow up, even calling the evening of the surgery to check in. She is very patient and gave me plenty of time to ask any questions I may have had, both before the procedure, during, and in follow-​up appointments. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Dr. Fay also practices on Central Park South.
I’ve seen her in both offices, but my surgery was performed at the CPS office. The staff at both offices are excellent.

I just got 3 teeth extracted by Dr Brett King. I went under general sedation and the whole procedure was absolutely not traumatic. very close to pleasant. No pain during or after the intervention. The whole team so nice and comforting. After going to many dentists all over the world (France, China, Spain etc)… Dr King is definitely THE 5 star dentist.

I was referred to Dr King by Dr William Han (absolutely my favourite dentist in the world– i actually look forward to my appointments!) and i didnt bother checking anywhere else because Dr Han’s recommendations so far have been wonderful (i also get orthodontia work done by Dr Maria Karpov, another Dr Han recommendation and also another wonderful experience)
Back to Dr King– he clearly is a very good oral surgeon and takes his work seriously. i went to him to get my wisdom tooth (fully erected not impacted) extracted and the procedure took less than 10 mins, was smooth and pretty much painless. he even called me that evening to check in and make sure everything was ok, which i really appreciate and proves that a small gesture goes a long way!
strong strong recommend!

Disclaimer: I may be writing this review under the residual effect of nitrous oxide, so take it for what it is. :-)
I arrived a few minutes late for the appointment but was taken in promptly. Dr. Fay is very good at making you relaxed. She had nice music going in the background which was cool. Everything was set up, and at the last minute I asked for the NO2 option, and her assistants set the contraption up quickly.
Dr. Fay explained what she was doing every step of the way, and was very mindful of any discomfort I may have, but seconds into the the NO2 and by the 3^rd Novocain injection, pain was the last thing I could feel. I kind of lost track of time, but it felt like the extraction itself took less time than the prep! Dr. Fay opted for no grafting when conditions allow, as she prefers to let the bone structure heel on its own, which would be my preference anyway.
It was a great extraction experience, whatever that meant. I took two Advils for the discomfort as the Novocain wore off, then two Tylenols for the night, no discomfort since.
If you need an extraction, she’s definitely someone you should look up.

Let me preface this rousing five-​star review with some background: I have a wholesome respect for dental health. Having grown up with a variety of tooth abnormalities (late adult teeth, braces, missing bottom front tooth, root canals, etc.), I’ve developed a love/​hate relationship with dental care providers and needles anywhere near my face.
Yet, when my stellar dentist, Dr. Urtula at Emagen Dental, (yep, the one I take transatlantic flights to go see) recommends that I get my incoming wisdom tooth removed by a particular oral surgeon, I don’t question — I simply execute.
I needn’t have worried anyhow. Dr. Fay was all things exceptional in someone who’s going to slice you open: warm, personable, direct, and proficient. From the moment I sat down in that plush never-​want-​to-​get-​up-​again consultation chair to the moment I walked out of her practice, I felt absolutely no hesitation.
The operation itself was so fast that I was bewildered when it was over. One moment, I’m waiting for the local anaesthetic to kick in, the next I’m being told that I’ll feel some pushing, and a minute after that, she was putting in stitches. I was still trying to wrap my brain around what point the tooth itself actually came out!
In addition to Tribeca OMFS following up with me, I got a quick note from my dentist to make sure the operation went well. Knowing how finicky my teeth can be, I’m grateful to know that whether or not it’s hygiene– and maintenance-​related or requires more serious interventions, I’m in good hands all around.

I was referred to Dr. King by Dr. Han as well and both are professional and very friendly and good at what they do. I had two wisdom teeth removed back in April and Dr. King was very helpful during that painful time and even called me later on in the evening to check up on me and provided his cellphone number in case I needed anything. He offered great advice to accelerate the healing time and the staff are also very nice.
P. S. They are understanding of financial issues and the economy so they will work with you.

Dr. Brett King is the man! I was referred to Dr. King by my new dentist Dr. William Han (of Tribeca Dental Design – super awesome as well) and I am so glad that I was able to find them both as they have saved my mouth from all the neglect I’ve put it through over the years. Last Wednesday I had the most horrible pain in my (10 years) impacted right wisdom tooth. I knew that it was infected and I would finally have to get it, and my other four wisdom teeth, handled. I went in to Tribeca Dental Design and Dr. Han looked at my tooth, cleaned it up a bit & helped me set up an appointment with Dr. King to get all four teeth extracted a few days later.
I am just a temp and have no dental insurance (hence the years of neglect) and both Dr. Han & Dr. King worked with me in order to get me the best price. Dr. Han forwarded my x-​rays to Dr. King’s office the same day so that I wouldn’t have to pay again for new ones (very considerate) and my day of reckoning arrived. I had only spoken to Dr. King’s assistants on the phone who were so kind, pleasant and helpful (they suggested I use my medical insurance to help with the costs of the surgery and it really did bring down my final payment). Once I arrived at the office (on the 2^nd floor of the building), about an hour before my 10AM appointment, I noticed how clean & modern it was and the big red couch in the seating area was so comfy! I filled out the necessary paperwork and was quickly ushered in to meet with Dr. King. He was so nice and kind and very detailed regarding what was wrong with my two lower wisdom teeth that were impacted (one infected) and my upper wisdom teeth. He explained that it would be best to have them all removed, but gave me the option to only handle the problem ones now. I thought that that was so kind; he wasn’t trying to force removing all at once and really sat me down to go over all of the options. Since I had already geared up to have all four removed at once I just went for it and Dr. King and his team started prepping everything. I paid my balance prior to the surgery since I would be utterly useless afterwards and his assistant gave me all of the details of what my insurance would cover and what I would end up paying.
I went under general anesthesia since I did not want to hear any crunching, bone breaking or just anything of the sort. I had never had surgery prior to this instance and, although I was nervous I knew that this would be the best option, no matter how much more expensive. Once I sat down to get hooked up to the IV for my sedation cocktail I was covered in a warm blanket by one of his assistants and thought that that was such a great touch. It just really relaxed me and as soon as I snuggled into it I was out for the count. Next thing I knew it was 1 hour later, I was *kind of* awake and very emotional (people are either emotional or ready to run once coming out of sedation, I was told) but, the surgery was a success and I was ready to be sent home with my pain medication & antibiotic prescriptions in hand. If you do go under general anesthesia it is IMPERATIVE that you have someone accompany you as you are in no state to drive or take mass transportation.
With my mouth fully gauzed, my «to go» pack of 4 ice/​hot packs and branded face wrap to insert the ice/​hot packs in (how cool is that!) and my body still not functioning I bid Dr. King and his team adieu and was kindly escorted outside to my brother & his awaiting car by one of Dr. King’s assistant’s. She walked me all the way to the car & even buckled my seat belt for me. Dr. King also called me later that evening from his personal phone so that I would have the number in case of an emergency. What really got me was that he remembered my brother’s name… that means he not only cared about me and my well-​being, but also took the time to remember the name of someone who wasn’t even his patient.
My follow-​up appointment with Dr. King is tomorrow (a week from the day of surgery) and I am feeling awesome. The swelling has completely gone down thanks to his tips and the pain in my jaw/​teeth/​gums has begun to subside. I can’t wait to see him and his team again in order to thank them again, whilst in a much better mental state. I will recommend Dr. King’s practice through & through. What could’ve been a very traumatic experience turned out to be something great. Many thanks to the entire team.
If you need an oral surgeon, Dr. King is just the man to do it.
