Aren't there a lot of Dentists in New York City?

Yes, there are an awful large number of dentists in New York City, and it is a competitive environment to develop a dental practice. Even though we probably have a very high proportion of dentists to the general population, surprisingly New York is a cooperative place.

In my office building alone we have over forty dentists practicing in close proximity. Although you could say we are ‘competitors’, I have found my New York dental colleagues to be helpful and generous with their broad knowledge of dentistry.

New York has historically been an innovative place and probably the thing most responsible for our innovations has been the density of talented people all in one place. New Yorkers have drive and general desire to be the best at what they do!

This seems to be true about Dentistry in New York. Although dental innovation occurs through out the world, I proudly point out that New York has had more than its share. Dental trends that started or were nurtured by Dentist in New York include, Porcelain fused to metal restorations, Implant Dentistry, and Porcelain Veneers.

It has been and will be my pleasure to practice in the Big Apple and I look forward to collaborating with my New York dental colleagues for many years to come!
