Downtown Dental Studio

I went to this dentist and a had a decent experience, but the problem arose when it came to the billing. They charged me for services that were not provided to me. When I called for an explanation they were very rude and unreasonable. It is unfair to charge for services that were not provided, I would be careful dealing with these people.

I purchased a Groupon for the zoom whitening and had a great experience! The dental assistant was great in talking me through the whole process and made sure I was comfortable because it was my first time.
Honestly, my teeth were quite white to begin with, but I just wanted to get whitening done because parts close to my gums were starting to turn yellow. I was expecting a not-​so-​huge difference because I have bleached my teeth before and the results were never drastic or super noticeable (as my teeth don’t stain easily and I don’t drink coffee or smoke). However, after getting Zoom done here my teeth were NOTICEABLY whiter! I was honestly pretty shocked because my teeth now look FLAWLESS, but not to the point where they look fake.
I didn’t feel any sensitivity initially but after I left I felt MINOR sensitivity, but this feeling only lasted for less than a second. Overall the process was painless and the results were well worth the price. I will definitely get Zoom done here again!

the staff at Downtown Dental Studio is amazing. They were empathetic and patient. My situation was challenging and Dr Lee and his staff made me feel at ease. We have only begun on what will be a long series of procedures. I highly recommend them
If you have fear or are apprehensive they will take care of your needs.

I have had many bad experiences with dentists trying to up sell me things that I don’t need like car salesman. This place is really great and friendly. The staff are so welcoming, and Dr. Lee is so gentle and kind. They even suggested that I didn’t need teeth whitening and helped me research my dental insurance details. The receptionist is so nice and went to a lot of work in calling my insurance company.

Only go for the zoom– it IS the best around– they use a totally painless procedure that is very different than the other dental studios around, so there must be something to it, because I have yet to see it since (been to two other studio). I have NEVER had the same results, and have ALWAYS had terrible ‘zinger’ like pains after this experience, and was always disappointed. Highly recommend for zoom!
They they do not take insurance for the dental practice, and I was told I had one cavity and one about to form so I waited until my dental coverage was available and went to Concerned Dental in midtown who takes insurance. I had a fantastic cleaning and full x-​rays done 2 years later, never having pain within those years– guess what– no cavities.
Dentists have a bad rep and this could be why…

I came here for a normal checkup and it turned out that I had a small cavity on one of my teeth, after they were finished, I was good as new.
I didn’t feel a thing! The tooth looked as though a cavity was never there. Brand new!!!
Thank you all so much!

Just had hygienic cleaning, x-​rays and zoom whitening. Very professional, relaxed staff and office setting. Furnishings so attractive mistook coat rack for a piece of artistic sculpture. Dr. Kimon performed hygienic cleaning and gave sensible advice on a future deep cleaning. Sascha performed zoom whitening procedure in careful and thorough manner. I had the same procedure elsewhere six months ago and this was far and away more thorough and professional treatment. Actually a delightful experience. [Edit — Review brought up a two year old picture, my teeth are much whiter now due to zoom treatment:)]

I bought a Groupon for a dental cleaning since i didn’t have insurance. This practice is new and small. That being said, it seemed that the dentist was trying to find problems, and pushing me to do services which were unnecessary. The dentist said I had 4 cavities and deep pockets in my gums. Since i wasn’t going to undertake any of the services, he recommended I do the flouride foam for $ 30. What a waste since they had the suction in my mouth during the procedure, which basically suctioned all the foam out in the first 20 seconds.
So I recently got insurance through a new job, and had an exam with my regular dentist for a second opinion (Madison Dental on 53^rd St). My dentist showed that I only had 1 cavity that needed to be dealt with, and no deep pockets. In light of this experience, I would be disinclined to refer anyone to Downtown Dental Studio just because you may end up paying for work that you don’t need.

Dr. Kimon is the best. Like you, I’m not particularly fond of having sharp drilly things come in contact with my nerve endings. Previous dentist visits have showed me how bad that can be. At this point I’ve gotten an extraction, a regular cleaning, two fillings, and a deep cleaning from Dr. Kimon with little more than a vague hint of pain.
He’s fast, precise, careful, and super friendly, all the things you need in a dentist. Sasha, the assistant, is really friendly, too.

Dr. Kimon is the best dentist I’ve ever been to — by far. If he moved offices, I would follow him; my partner fully agrees. Super friendly, sweet, and explains things thoroughly, and is as gentle as he can be and never rushes anything. Seriously the best dentist ever, even when treating difficult situations.

After a bad experience with a dentist pushing for a root canal, I thankfully was able to get better insurance and came here at the recommendation of two friends.
Dr. Kimon is great — really thorough with my teeth and answers all my questions. Saved me from a root canal. I don’t feel like he ever looks for reasons to do more work which is a common complaint when people gripe about the dentist. The rest of staff is super nice and they always try to fit me in with my crazy work schedule. Would recommend to anyone looking for a new dentist.

Professional, thorough and very gental! Had some fillings done and couldn’t be more pleased! Highly recommended.

I have seen many dentists in my lifetime, but I think that Dr. Kimon is a skilled, friendly, attentive, courteous, dental professional of the finest kind. I enjoy my visits to his office; the staff are all very friendly and caring, the office is well cared for and always very clean and comfortable, and I NEVER have to wait very long at all to get into the chair. If anyone is looking for a new dentist in the Downtown area, then I highly recommend that they give Downtown Dental Studios a chance, I think that they will be impressed.

Dr. Lee and his staff are fantastic. I came in here with a Groupon and ended up needing some work done. The pricing was reasonable, the staff was warm and welcoming and Dr. Lee is a true professional– easy to talk to, worked quickly and very honest and genuine. Great office!

Best dentist visit ever; I was seen by Dr. Alexander Kimon around 1 p.m. during the weekday. I used a Groupon deal for dental cleaning and X-​rays. The doctor took his time going through the teeth x-​rays and made related recommendations. We also talked about my cleaning routine and other habits. The cleaning itself was very well done; the ingrained yellow residue was removed and my teeth are now at least a shade whiter. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Alexander Kimon, and coming in at the least busiest day or hour of the week.

Here is the regular price list:
1. Cleaning Visit with Flouride: $ 190.00
Cleaning: $ 155
Flouride Paste: $ 35 (5 minute foam treatment)
—
$ 190 per cleaning visit.
2. Filling: $ 155.00
Make sure you get a second dentist’s opinion on if you need the fillings. In our case, my regular dentist felt it was okay to just keep an eye on it, but they really wanted to fill it and it was made to seem as needing to be done immediately during that visit or upon the next. I don’t need a filling. The indentation was there upon the formation of the tooth, and has not deepened in the years and years that my regular dentist has been keeping an eye on it.
3. Oral Evaluation /​Establishment of New Patient: $ 150.

Ive been coming here for a little over a year now for my dental check ups and I have to say, I no longer dread going to the dentist. In a weird way I actually enjoy it (not in the little shop of horrors kind of way) I just love this office. You are always joyfully greeted by Roberta when you arrive., the office is quiet, ive never had to wait around to be seen, and the Dentists are awesome (except they always want to pull out my wisdom teeth, ha!)
I had a small chip on my front tooth fixed– it looks exactly like my other tooth (perfect)
checkups/​cleanings — thorough and informative, the cleanings are … clean!
I had my first cavity filled– i am such a wuss and i found it pretty painless and easy
Yup, 5 stars!

NOT A PROFFESSIIONAL SKILL!
I just use the groupon for ZOOM whitening teeth last week.
The doctor did not use the whitening gel even on my teeth. Now my teeth is some spots yellow, and some spots white. How can I smile !!! I’m afraid to smile now!
SO ugly! EVEN WORSE! not even tone clolor!
I think it’s the basic skill to make the gel even on your teeth when you are doing the teeth whitening. But the doctor did not notice that! GOD!!! VERY BAD SKILL!!! waste money!!!

So I bought a groupon for zoom whitening here. The staff seemed very professional. Although it was a dental assistant that applied the zoom paste and UV light, I felt she was very professional.
If I had dental insurance, I wouldn’t hesitate to choose this dental studio.

I went to Downtown Dental Studio for a ZOOM teeth whitening with a groupon (139.00). I was a llittle leary about going to a dentist office without previews by friends, but I viewed
and felt satisfied with the comments.
The staff was courteous and friendly. I was 30 minutes late trying to find parking — which is a nightmare — but the receptionist said «no problem». The office is clean and warm with comfy chairs!
My teeth are nice and pearly white. The treatment does have a little discomfort associated, but the tech applied a desensitizer gel to relieve it. The pain wasn’t bad enough to quit the procedure
ADVICE: park on Barclay and walk up the street. discomfort on bottom front row /​treatment: 3 fifteen min whitening section /​you can only eat «white» food x 48hrs to avoid staining teeth — I feel bad for all those coffee and tea fiends :)~
