At Zen Dentistry, we have been providing top-tier dental care in New York. Our modern NY offices are equipped with advanced technology to ensure comfort and exceptional results. Whether you need a routine exam, cosmetic enhancements, or emergency dental care, our experienced team is here to help.
I will be honest I have never been a fan of the dentist but this entire team is so professional and kind. I was able to go through my cavity filling process with care and breaks to help alleviate the stress of getting a filling.
From a financial standpoint; I recommend Zen Dentistry because Miguel (he’s great) is willing to look into your dental insurance and get you a treatment plan that aligns with your personal and financial needs.

I had a great experience at this dental office! Dr. Malhotra was very helpful and thorough in pointing out the areas I needed to improve, including three fillings. I was able to get one done today, and it was quick and comfortable. The receptionist, Wocelyn, was also amazing and worked with me to schedule my next two fillings for the new year at a more affordable price. I’ll also be getting four crowns done with Dr. Malhotra, and I’m very excited for the next steps.

It’s my third time here and I love seeing Dr. Malhotra (dentist) and Princess (front desk)! The staff here is beyond and know my fear of dental procedures so the fact that they as a team could keep me calm and comfortable while doing a crown on my back molar is award worthy. I also got fitted for a customized night guard because I have TMJ from grinding my teeth while I sleep.

Dr. Malhotra! THANK YOU! I can not thank this man enough! I have been terrified of the dentist my entire life and this was an experience that erased my fears! I had a double root canal- I was having a literal panic attack and he was AMAZING! My fears were put to rest- from the comfort of the office ( thank you weighted blanket and music to listen to!) to the staff who are all great

I’ve been coming to Zen Dentistry for years. Dr M and his staff have always attentive and kind. I just finished my Invisaligns and had great results. It tokk about 6 months and was easy to change the trays every 2 weeks. Even when I had concerns during the process, Dr M would answer questions and put my mind at ease. Highly recommend this office!

Everyone was so so polite and welcoming! after my x-rays i got a nice refreshing under eye mask while i waited! The tech even offered to hold my hand during the endo ice part which was so sweet.
They seem very aware of people with big feelings and listen really well to the patients!

I’m typically someone who is terrified of the dentist & it’s always scary trying out a new spot. The entire team here was amazing.. the front desk was so kind & warm. Dr. S did an incredible cleaning. And Dr R. was great and very calm/knowledgeable. If you are looking for a new dentist, I could not recommend more!!
