Scott Fine, DDS:

Dr. Fine treated me when I had severe sensitivity to hot and cold. Apparently this is because I brush too hard too often. Dr. Fine took the time to sit with me and explained that he would be able to coat my teeth with a bonding material that would reduce the sensitivity. He is the most gentle, caring, and considerate Dentist I have ever been to. I did not feel rushed at all in fact many times his assistants would call him out of the room to try and rush him and he would say give me a minute – were not done here yet. It was a very different experience from what I was used to. I truly feel like I was taken care of. And best of all I have no more sensitivity there! I can now have an ice cold drink on these hot summer days! Thank you Dr. Fine. God bless you and your staff!

BACK IN 1993 my longtime NYC dentist was about to retire to Florida and an enthusiastic young Dr. Scott Fine was about to take over the practice. Upon being introduced, I immediately liked Dr. Fine’s approach to dentistry–he spoke of using the latest techniques and technology, yet he also seemed to have the soul of an artist. Instead of immediately looking elsewhere for a long-in-the-tooth replacement dentist, I decided to try Dr. Fine for an appointment or two and see how things worked out. Now–having been his dental patient for almost 25 years–it’s pretty clear that things have worked out very, very well. Over the years, Dr Fine has handled my occasional cavities, a root canal or three, extractions, crowns, and has installed laminates on some front teeth that have a completely natural look. He prides himself on crafting laminates that, like natural teeth, have slight almost imperceptible differences–and he decries the Hollywood-style laminates that look like a gleaming, perfectly uniform, row of Chicklets. I even have a “temporary” bridge he created for me in the late 90s to handle a yawning gap in some back teeth. At the time he said of this precarious bridge: “You might get a year or two out of it, John.” But, somehow, his ingenious bridge-building has survived for 15 years–and it’s still going strong. I have watched Dr Fine build his practice on the bedrock of skill, service, dedication, and fair pricing. As his business has grown he has brought in high-quality (and equally service-oriented) fellow professionals and staffers. He even has his own dental lab and skilled technician on the premises. And those premises may be unlike any dental “office” you’ve seen; the waiting room is a functioning art gallery with a regularly changing display of good art. But you won’t be spending much time in that waiting room. Having probably been to the Fine Dental offices 75 times (including regular dental cleanings) during our long relationship–I can testify that I’ve never waited more than 10 minutes for an appointment; the average must be closer to 5 minutes. In addition to Dr Fine, I’d like to single out two members of this warm and attentive dental practice: First is Yilda Taveras the superb dental hygenist who has done my dental cleanings four times a year since forever. Those are appointments I truly look forward to–and the feeling of “clean” that I walk out the door with is an almost sensual pleasure (my tongue thanks me as it runs over the freshly de-plaqued tooth surfaces.) Second is Peter Ng, the Hong Kong-trained reflexologist who–by way of a 30-minute foot massage–can give you the feet of a teenage athlete. He maintains a small massage room as part of the Fine Dental Suite and is also available to give your feet a 10-minutes reflexology “boost” while you’re in a chair getting dental treatment in one of the offices. (Actually, I believe that new patients are given a 10-minute foot massage as a freebie on their first appointment.) I’d like to close this review by saying that Dr. Scott Fine is not only an outstanding professional and a valued member of the cadre of top-flight doctors whom I feel extraordinarily lucky to have in my NYC medical circle–but he is also someone I consider a friend. He’s that kind of a guy. I highly recommend Fine Dental to anyone who has read this far in this review. And if you decide to try an appointment, I’ll probably be seeing you around “the gallery” during the next decade or so. (And be sure to ask for the foot massage.) John Emmerling New York City

This team is welcoming and did an amazing job at cleaning my teeth!!! They were also accommodating financially to me bc I was paying it for myself. I hadn’t been to the dentist in a few years so was a bit uncertain on how my teeth were doing. They took x-rays, did a standard and in-depth cleaning, and Dr. Fine (his name is actually “Fine”) looked at my teeth and gave me recommendations on a tooth that has some trauma as a kid. Overall I super appreciate their work.

Four weeks ago, I was assailed by a horrible tooth pain and immediately sought the services of Dr. Sam Fine. After taking x-rays, Dr. Fine explained that I needed a root canal procedure which would require several visits. Make no mistake. I am a baby when it comes to pain and I imagined a protracted period of pain, blood and gore. But I am happy to report that I was completely wrong. From that initial visit, Dr. Fine was able to treat and eliminate all pain. His technical skill is remarkable and has made the entire process painless and, yes, actually, pleasant. Dr. Fine and his entire team in his office (from the Front Dest staff to his dental assistants/technicians) performed the small miracle of taking the pain and dread out of my dental procedure. Thank you, Dr. Fine for your compassionate and highly skilled treatment. I am grateful for your outstanding service.

Let’s face it – NOBODY likes going to the dentist. I was dreading my recently scheduled check up, but this morning’s visit deserves a glowing 5 star review. The office is beautiful and the staff goes out of their way to make sure you are as comfortable as possible. WFUV is playing in the background, gorgeous photography throughout the office and a complimentary 10 minute foot rub for first time patients (with the option to purchase massage time during future visits). The cleaning was thorough but gentle and Dr. Fine himself couldn’t have been nicer. This “dentophobic” will be going back within the next 6 months without issue…. today’s visit was about as pleasant as a dentist appointment can be.

Dr Fine and Dr S are 2 amazing dentists! I have been going to this practice for over 10 years and would recommend it to anyone. The staff is always soooo friendly, warm and conversational. They are very professional yet take the time to ask about your life as well. The brand new office space is beautiful and offers massages while you wait! Insurance is accepted but they also will work with you on a payment plan if needed. I hate having anything done to my teeth but I love Dr Fine and Dr S!

Dr Fine is the best dentist, with a true “family” practice where you feel very taken care of. I have been seeing him since 2008 when a coworker recommended him with massive enthusiasm. He has helped me through some fairly major dental problems, and I felt really confident in his abilities. He and even helped me via email when I had some dental issues while traveling overseas. Very trustworthy, kind, compassionate, professional, clean, knowledgeable … everything you could want in a dentist. I’ll never go to anyone else in NYC! Also … Dr Fine has invented his own toothbrush!!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Dr. Fine and his staff. It’s a shame that he does not have more than 5 reviews. I was refereed to Dr. Fine by a relative and i couldn’t be happier! I visited Dr. Fine after a nightmare at another dentist. Dr. Fine and his staff made me feel at home, they were and are always kind, attentive, friendly and 100% professional! Dr. Fine is not just a Dentist, he is an artist at play! He puts his heart into his work! (Your teeth) He does not push you to get anything that is not necessary. He is a Dentist you can trust! A Dentist that is really looking out for the best of his patients, I will always refer EVERYONE to him! He is ONE OF A KIND!!! AMAZING!
