Practice Profile Page

First time I went to Smile Cafe and so glad I did…. a wonderful overall experience from the get go.. I had X-rays , cleaning , and a dental examination and everyone on their professional team that took care of me was friendly, thorough and took their time doing their job.. I will go back there and would give them 10 stars if I could.. Give them a try, they are in a class by themselves.. Dawn

Dr Noor without a doubt is the most exceptional Dentist. He is always available in an emergency and is professional and compassionate. I love this place! Every single member of the staff is super nice. Scheduling appointments is always a breeze! Dr Noor is so experienced with Invisalign; I learned even some of his patients fly from other states just to see him for their treatment! Hands down the best Dental office in New York City and a top accredited doctor in the state! I recommend this office to everyone with their dental needs.

I went here first time to get check up & cleaning through Groupon as it was near my job . I called them to schedule appointment which was very easy . Till my appointment day arrive they send me reminder tvia text & email every week and I did all paper work online to save the time there. I arrived 10 mins early and first impressions when I got there was wow nice decor, they should change the name of this place to ” Smile Dental Spa” ..lol… Tanya welcomed me and ask to be seated few minutes after Louis took me inside and took my dental xray he was very polite and through. They had nice music playing in background which I enjoyed . After that my hygienist arrived to do cleaning , I forgot her name again I think it was Ingrid she ask few questions and told me what needs to be taken care of apart from cleaning for future treatment and explained everything very nicely. She took almost 45 mins for cleaning was very nice and did amazing job. I never had such a through cleaning before and best part I was laying down in comfortable position. After cleaning Joseph came to take pictures of me & my teeth and that was first time I had picture take at dental office, so I asked what is this for and he mentioned about future invisalign treatment in case you needed. I understand they have to promote all this procedure as they are here to do business like other’s, he was very nice too . In the end Dentist came to check the work and to recommend to do Root scaling ( Deep cleaning ) as I have 6mm gum pockets which was explained by Ingrid already. They wanted me to talk to Tanya about finances if I want to get procedure done as I don’t have insurance. I told them I am running late for work if she can explain really quick. They understood and I was in front of Tanya for 5 mins and she explained me all finance option and email me application as per my request and Ingrid gave me print out of all the detail information of procedure and why its needed to read. Overall I left from here happy & satisfied with my appointment and I can do my research for future treatement as I really like this location. Everyone here are professional and value’s your time as that is very important for me never had such a good experience at any dental office before.

(Made this Profile just for Smile Cafe, it was that good) I went to Smile Cafe after reading reviews, and I saw that the location was close to everything, 37th and Park Ave, literally 5 blocks from Grand Central! My hygienist was Melanie Gennari and she made the experience amazing (which usually isn’t the case with Hygienists and Dentists) They greeted me when I came in the door, asked me if I needed water or anything, so I already knew this place was great. No fuss, or bad attitudes, anyone that saw me in the waiting room? Greeted me in some way or asked if I were ok. I came in with no major pain or discomfort but had 2 prior teeth emergencies that I **Wrongly** thought were no longer emergencies. I knew some work was needed but not to what extent. Long story short? 1st up my X-rays came back with some bad news I was already aware of, A root canal! No one talked down to me, or made me feel bad, in fact just that 1st portion alone was really informative and they filled me in on how they do things, 1 person for X-rays (Friendly and cool), another for cleaning (Melanie) and then the Doctor/Dentist (Brief but very kind) to inspect and finalize the next steps. With my cleaning with Melanie, before she started she asked me questions since I mentioned an anesthesia allergy, and talked about what I could do to help myself (and Smile Cafe) find a solution. She explained what the X-rays found, and explained the gum issues with me using a chart and some examples. It was very easy to understand her. The cleaning was quick and smooth, no excessive forced was used, if I was in pain or discomfort I could just raise my hand and she would stop for a moment, mouthwash was offered before and after, and I received a complimentary tube of Colgate Sensitive & of course a new toothbrush. Afterwards, she informed me of what my options were, how far along my issue was, and actually mentioned options that didn’t involve surgery. Also, recommendations for electronic tooth brushes and what procedure I should do 1st, in order to stop the progression of the other issues. The Doctor closed out the experience by letting me know what types of procedures are normal for my issue, and was kind and respectful with delivering the news. I’ll definitely be back!

This dental office is extremely professional and takes great care of their patients. I’ve been Dr. Noor’s patient for sometime now and hes done beautiful work to my teeth. I love how warm and friendly the front desk is. The new girl Nancy is wonderful!!! She always offers me tea or coffee, she remembers my name when I walk in. Not everyone cares about customer service at a dental office, but it is important to me. Also, the assistants are very friendly as well. I’m a lawyer and I dont waste my time or money paying for dental insurance because, smile cafe offers financial plans for patients who don’t have insurance and this saves me SO much money. Purchasing their plan is way cheaper than paying for dental insurance.

Although I have a lot of pain, I felt like the staff at Smile Café, especially Christy, Jose and Dr Noor genuinely cared about my well-being. My first interactions were with Christy. She was really helpful and made me feel valued, and comfortable from the get-go. I also liked being personally offered a variety of drinks. My mind was on other things so I hadn’t considered my thirst going into a situation where my mouth may become dry. I had a very positive experience with Dr. Noor. I’m very grateful that he extended his day to see me and treat my dental emergency. He made me feel very comfortable in what is a challenging environment and is one of the reasons I’ll return to Smile Cafe. I don’t have much to comment on his abilities and I’ll have a better understanding after a longer dental relationship. The dental assistant Jose was exceptional, the coconut oil lip moisturizer he gave me for my dry lips was so soothing. His cheerful demeanor eased my tensions further and helped demonstrate his international experience in patient care. Another assistant that I briefly interacted with was also kind and friendly. So far I’m very satisfied with Dr. Noor, his team, and the experience, and I admire their commitment to improving an already great service!

Dr Noor and his entire staff are extremely caring and have their patients’ best interest in mind. I highly recommend this office in search of a dental office that is superb! They’ve taken so many infection control measures to keep their staff and patients safe in uncertain times. All around.. AMAZING experience!!

I was referred to Smile Cafe by a co-worker last year but I thought it was a bit of a commute for me (I work at 53rd St/ Lex so it’s pretty much like 1 stop from my work with 6 train, but you know how we can be so lazy .. lol). I found a local dentist 2 blocks up from where I work. He was my country fellow man and I felt pretty comfortable going to him. After 4-5 visits ( I don’t even know why I went that many times), I realized I wasn’t happy with him. So I decided to take a chance on Smile Cafe. I am so glad that I made that decision. What a revelation! The staff is very friendly and nice (genuinly) the reception area is clean and comfortable and the wait is minimum. I had my dental cleaning done by Cortney and I must say this, she is a wonderful person. It might not make much of a difference to some people whether a Dental Hygienist is nice or not, but it made a huge difference for me. On the day I had an appointment with her I was actually going through a break-up with my boyfriend and I was devastated. As soon as I sat on the chair the tears were welling up in my eyes and there was nothing I could do to stop. I thought of sneaking to the bathroom and leaving the place. But Cortney noticed how sad I was and spoke to me in a way that it actually comforted me. I am not good at opening up to strangers, but she made me feel so comfortable that I actually told her what happened. I knew I was taking up her time and please remember time is money, but she listened to me patiently and spoke to me in a way that my mind was put to ease. I really didn’t think I could sit on that chair and go on with the process, that’s how upset I was. Cortney is an amazing person. She has a very warm heart and she truly cares about people. She didn’t know me, she could easily say that if I don’t feel well enough we could reschedule. Instead she took a big chunk of her time and had a conversation with me. I felt that I should mention this because it goes to show her caring personality which reflected also on her work. Cortney’s done a great job on my teeth. She thoroughly explained what I needed to do and what the next step would involve. She took her time to explain the differences between the types of brushes, the importance of using electrical toothbrush, and also how to use it. Yes I actually never thought of holding the electrical toothbrush in certain upright position to get a deep clean in between my teeth. She also explained the benefits of GUM Soft Picks and how to use them. For my dental cleaning she did one side first and then on the second appointment she did the other side. I think I was there 2 weeks after my first appointment and the side she worked on already had plaque growing ( I brush my teeth at least twice a day, I use mouthwash, and I floss). When I saw her again, I mentioned her how fast the plaque was growing and that’s when she explained how I should brush my teeth with the electrical toothbrush (I had to purchase one, I got one for like $40). Since then,it’s been about a month, I have no sign of plaque. Before finishing up my review, I would like to mention that Dr. Noor was also very nice and he follows up with his patients to make sure their needs are met. Christy is very accomodating in setting up the appointments. All and all, I give Smile Cafe 5 Stars!

I have only the best things to say about Smile Cafe and Dr Noor’s team – they are truly exceptional in an industry where there are many sub-standard operators. I have been coming to Smile Cafe for 3 years for for regular check-ups, cleanings and now Invisalign treatment and actually look forward to and enjoy my visits! I never wait more than 5 minutes to be seen and all the staff including on the front-desk are friendly and welcoming: Melanie the hygienist is wonderful and does an excellent job and all the assistants are attentive and efficient. Dr Noor himself is a delight and has a great sense of humour which makes any necessary treatment easy to deal with. It is never difficult to get an appointment and the practice itself is clean, comfortable and fun! They also have a great music selection which helps pass the time quickly. I cannot not recommend Dr Noor and Smile Cafe enough and would urge everyone to experience their service – there is honestly nothing better in New York and they consistently go above and beyond for their patients! 10/10.
