I normally don’t do reviews, but after seeing Dr S, I just had to. This is a long one, but I just needed to share how it went for me Let’s start at the beginning. Going to the dentist, during the times of COVID is a pretty scary thought. But it had been about 1-2 years since my last visit (more on that later), and I just knew I had to go in. Their facility is super clean. When I arrived, there were only 2 people in the waiting room, and seats are placed so that no one is sitting next to each other. As soon as I arrived, one of the two people were called in, leaving just myself and another guy in the waiting room. I felt super comfortable and safe. Then I was called and it was my turn to go to the back. Alex, my technician was so nice. She also was super protected – face mask, goggles, face shield, the works. She was so sweet and friendly. As soon as I went into my room I was asked to wash my hands, and you can just tell they are doing everything they can to keep the facilities safe and clean. Now, Dr S walks in, and she is so friendly! Went over my file, asked about me and my dental history. I’ve always had a horrible relationship with my dental check ups. My parents are from a very remote, poor, small town, and dental hygiene was just not something as important as getting food, etc. I told Dr S I had not heard of floss until I was older, and never developed good dental hygiene habits as a kids, so I’ve always had traumatic experiences when I go for my check ups – I always expect to cry from the pain of getting a simple cleaning. So when my regular dentist was no longer within network and covered by my insurance, I definitely pushed off finding a new one. But after so long, I knew I had to suck it up and go before things just got so bad for my next visit. I told her, I was actually dreading being there with her, and I was scared. She absolutely understood where I was coming from, and was super calm and explained everything thoroughly. Turns out, I’m always in pain when I get my check ups because I don’t floss and that turns in to plaque, and swells my gums, etc. The point is, no had taken the time to explain all of that to me! She showed me the x-rays, showed me where she could see, gave me a thorough explanation of everything happening with my teeth. Sounds so obvious, but no one had taken the time to do that before. Now, the moment of truth. As I mentally prepared for her to work on my teeth, I asked for a squish toy for when I started to feel pain, and she got ready to go into my mouth. Now, I am not going to lie and say it wasn’t painful, but when she got in there, it was a bearable pain. I DID NOT CRY! What a win. The crazy part is, that after she was done, she turns to me and says “Alex [the technician] will be right in to finish up with you”. Alex walks in, hands me a mirror, and teaches me how to floss. She then tells me Dr S will be back. In my head, I am sending a prayer because I know the worst is yet to come, I’m getting to the part where the pain is so unbearable that I cry. Dr S walks in, tells me that we can get me to a healthy place, but that is not just up to her, that I am a huge part of it and that I must do my HW. She breaks down the plan to get me to a healthy place, and the timeline, and then tells me I am done. I AM SHOCKED. I’m like, but wait a minute, I didn’t cry. She goes, “I am so sorry you’ve had so many traumatic experiences in the past. If I could hug you, I would. Dental visits should never have you crying in pain. Yes, they will be a bit painful depending on how bad things are, but you told me your history, and I was as gentle as I could while still doing what I had to do.” LIFE CHANGING. Dr S made me feel like I was not just another mouth she was working on. I felt like she took the time to get to know me and give/treat me the way I needed to. In the past, i always felt like I was reprimanded, almost shamed me, for my bad dental habits and the pain was my punishment. But no one took the time to explain, teach, and plan the way Dr S did. I will never go to anyone else. Dr S, if you see ever get the chance to see this, thank you.

I know doctor S for over a few years now, with my huge experience with dentists not only in US but also in Russia, I can say that she is the one that actually helped me and also thought me something new how to take proper care of my teeth, and now it is way better and I don’t have any problems anymore as I always had before. She also very pleasant and at the same time professional.

Dr. S is awesome! I am new to the US and was very nervous about getting a Dentist here, as I had been seeing my dentist in Canada my whole life. But her excellent ratings and reviews barely do her justice! She is so kind, diligent, and caring. If you hate going to the dentist, let Dr. S make it easy and less painful for you!

I really cant describe how lucky i am to have found Dr Salehezadeh. I have spent the better part of my 38 years in life living in fear of the dentist. I am not saying that my fears are gone but she has made the whole process so much less anxist ridden for me and that has allowed me to take better care of my teeth. I would recommend her to anyone with out hesitation

Was new in the city and found Dr. Salehezadeh while looking for a dentist close to my work, and she’s been fantastic for the 5 years or so I’ve been with her. My main goal then was to get back on track with regular dental care after many years of on and off visits to the dentist. I’ve always been a little fearful of dentists but her warm and friendly nature really put me at ease. She has helped significantly improve my dental health and I’ve had cleanings, fillings, crowns, Invisalign with her and have always been satisfied. She is always thorough in explaining what is going on, what options I have, any unknowns, and potentials risks / trade off with each option. Highly recommended to anyone who’s looking for a dentist.

Dr. Shawn – how do I love thee, let me count the ways…I started going to Dr. salehezadeh when she was located on 57th street, and followed her to her current location right off of bryant park. She has been my dentist now for 5+ years, and i have never looked back. She is friendly, personable, accommodating, takes the time to answer your questions, has a friendly staff, and never makes you feel as if you’re being scammed into having unnecessary procedures done! I have sent countless friends, co-workers, and my dentist-phobic fiance to her! My fiance hadn’t been to the dentist in 10+ years and was scared, to say the least, about his appointment. He couldn’t get over how pleasant his experience was! So needless to say, she comes highly recommended & has my stamp of approval!

I generally hate going to the dentist like most people, but Dr.S made my trip actually incredibly pleasant. Her demeanor is friendly (maybe because she is from Texas and has that southern hospitality) and made me feel very comfortable. She was very focused and gave me honest advice about my teeth, options for procedures, etc. Her office was accomodating to my schedule, she was able to squeeze me in on a Saturday! You can book an appointment through her receptionist just by the click of an email (admin@yoursmilingdentist…) making the whole process that much more convenient.

Dr. S and her team are a diamond in the rough in NYC. Other places might feel like an assembly line with no personal touch, but that’s FAR from the case here. They took me in on a root canal emergency and the customer service was top notch, even so much that I got a follow up call and a personal letter to check in on my progress. I then decided to switch to Dr. S as my primary dentist and am so happy I did. On top of the “family feel” that this practice has, they use the newest technology in order to be as proactive as possible (to avoid any “emergencies” like my first visist 🙂 I never once felt like I was being “upcharged” and really appreciate the relaxed, friendly, and professional environment that Dr. S has setup in her practice. Couldn’t recommend enough!

I’ve been going to see Dr. S for just over a year, and am very satisfied with her personable and professional approach. She is expertly thorough in her work and clear in her recommendations and dental care advice. I’ve been in since the pandemic, as well, and everything was done with the upmost care and safety, going above and beyond the required safety measures. Highly recommend Dr. S to anyone looking for a dentist!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Shawn’s for a couple years now after a coworker recommended her. I came with a mouth that was a mess and she has completely rehabilitated it! She uses state of the art equipment, takes extra care to be gentle and is the best dentist I’ve been to. On top that, she is warm and friendly and always gives you her honest opinion. Her work is the finest and I leave with confidence knowing I’ve received the best treatment. I can not recommend her enough.

I’m extremely picky about my teeth and Dr. Shawn Salehezadeh is the perfect dentist for me. She’s extremely thorough, patient, and gentle. I’ve been going to her for over 5 years for cleaning and filings. Recently she did a composite veneer on my front tooth to improve my smile. This was not the expensive veneer type, but she did it in the office same day in a few hours visit. I’m so happy with it and looks like I got orthodontic and whiting treatment in just a few hours! I highly recommend Dr. Salehzadeh for all your dental needs!

Dr. S is great. I’m relatively new to her practice and my experiences to date have been great. I never felt like she rushed my appointments. She is thorough and super friendly. She takes the time to explain everything you need to know and takes all proper COVID precautions, which is obviously crucial when your mouth is completely exposed. If you’re looking for a personable dentist who is engaged in your dental health, I highly recommend Dr. Salehezadeh.

Love Dr Salehezadeh!!! Let me start by saying I do NOT like the dentist and I am a pain in the butt painent. She has done amazing work with my teeth and is never rude about the things I complain about or what I may slack in doing. I have never experienced any pain or discomfort when she has done work on me and she had replaced most of my fillings! Dr S is the best and would recommend her and her staff to anyone looking for a true professional!

First and foremost, I call her Dr. S.:) What can I say about Dr. S… she is the best thus far! I’ve always been afraid of the dentist until now. In my many years of receiving checkups, I’ve never felt as comfortable as I feel when I sit in her seat. Dr S. energy lowers my anxiety and helps me prepare for the visit. I love how she enters the room with a smile and grace! Her calm personality makes me feel safe. She communicates well, and she’s very prompt. If you’re ever running late, pls make sure to call in advance so the receptionist can adjust her schedule accordingly. Dr. Salehezadeh is a busy woman. : ) Love her! I encourage you to make your appointment now!!!

I have been seeing Dr. Salehezadeh for 4 years now and absolutely love her! She has worked with me on basic cleanings, fillings, and also to coordinate more extensive work with needed implants and orthodontia. She’s always friendly and considerate when I come into the office and I have never left with any pain or anything. I really can’t recommend her enough. My whole family goes to her now!

Dr. Salehezadeh was a great dentist and I would recommend anyone looking for a new dentist in the area to give her a try! I was seated right away and she came back to introduce herself. I had new x-rays taken which was a quick and easy process and then was seated to have my teeth cleaned. I had a cavity filled right after the teeth cleaning ad the whole thing took about 1.5 hrs! Very efficient and good work done here.

Dr. Salehezadah makes going to the dentist an actually enjoyable experience. She has been my only dentist since moving to NY 7 years ago and I couldn’t be happier. Dr. Salehezadah finds a great blend of professionalism with a genuine interest in her patients and I can trust that she will honestly recommend what’s best for my teeth. The office is clean and modern, and the wait has never been more than a couple minutes. Her staff is incredibly upbeat and pleasant; easily engage in conversation, but want to be efficient and get you on your way. Very highly recommend!

It’s not often that people brag about their dentist but I’m about to do that! Other than routine cleaning, cavities and fillings here and there, Dr. Salehezadeh made my teeth straight! She takes exquisite care of her patients and has a wonderful team that is very attentive to all your needs. #mydentistforlife

I have been seeing Dr. S for 5 years and she has taken excellent care of me. She is a true professional who is at the top of her game. Clear in communicating, excellent referrals when needed, and with an ease about her that makes what is not my favorite activity almost enjoyable. Her new facility is state of the art, and her staff is excellent. I would highly recommend QPD.

Dr. Shawn is absolutely fantastic! I am new to the city and had been with my previous dentist in Canada since I was 4. I was terrified of having to go through Trial and Error to find someone I liked, that was in my neighborhood, and took my insurance. I read a TON of 5 star reviews about her and the clinic, and do not regret trusting them. Very personable, honest, and great at getting you in and out of there quickly. She also has an amazing massage therapist there to rub your feet throughout your appointment! Was a lovely surprise. Highly recommend Dr. S

Had my first appointment with Dr. S. today, and it was FABULOUS. Staff was efficient and friendly, making me feel right at home. Office was clean and inviting. Dr. S. was very personable and knowledgeable. She has a wonderful bedside manner, and didn’t appear rushed or disinterested (as has been my past experience with other practices). I will definitely be recommending Dr. S. to my friends!

I had a terrific experience with Dr. S. She was extremely patient and thorough with my cleaning and exam. I have always been filled with anxiety about my dental visits but Dr. S put me at ease. Dr S. Explained each step throughout the process. Her assistant is also kind and knowledgeable. I am getting the Invisilign with Dr. S and after only a few trays I am noticing a dramatic difference. Dr S was able to clean stains that other dentists were not. On my last visit, I had been experiencing sensitivity and she was quick to offer a solution that didn’t involve drilling or anything unnecessary. I can’t believe I am saying this but I am looking forward to my next visit! Her office is clean, comfortable and has some very cool art on the walls.

A very professional and human dentist we fully trust. We have been treating by Doctor Shawn for the past 2 years and are very satisfied with her service and work: she is always very gentle, client oriented and walks you through the entire treatment. Her support staff always calls you to check how you are doing and that’s highly appreciated! I recommended her to several friends and colleagues and I wished all the dentists in NYC were like her: honest, professionals, caring and smiling!

Dr. S is the best! She’s been my dentist for years now – cleanings are gentle but thorough and after having completed Invisalign with her last year, I have nothing but good things to say. She clearly knows what she’s doing, patiently explaining my many questions, giving me transparent expectations and incredible results. Not to mention she is extremely personable and makes seeing the dentist something I actually look forward to!

I haven’t been to the dentist in years. My new job offers dental insurance and my teeth had been bothering me lately so I found Dr. Salehezadeh through a quick search and chose her based on all her reviews. They are spot-on. She was terrific. Very friendly, very good at her job and she did a great job during my cleaning and even repaired some damaged enamel during my visit! And her advice on how to keep my teeth healthy didn’t feel like a lecture. I am so happy I found her! I’ll definitely be back!

It’s one thing to have a dentist you can trust who does great work. It’s another to have a dentist who fulfills the above AND makes you feel like a star upon arrival. ‘Dr. Shawn’ truly cares about her patients and commits until the job’s done. In a City like New York, you can be put through the ringer with bad referrals..or you can skip all that and go to Dr. Shawn; you won’t be disappointed.

Dr. Salehezadeh is a fantastic dentist! I have been a patient of hers for 7 years and I have followed her to all her practices. She is extremely professional. She always remembers me and my teeth (and that they are very sensitive, so she is very careful). I always feel comfortable when I am in her hands and she is very personable. I highly recommend her!

Before I met Dr. Salehezadeh it would take years for me to visit the dentist and only then as a last resort. As a patient of hers for a number of years I now go every six months for one simple reason; she’s really good. Professional, upbeat, informed and really helpful, she makes going to the dentist a really pleasant experience…and my teeth have never been better!

Dr S is the best dentist I have ever had. She is really on another level entirely. She sees everything, and knows how to do procedures which I don’t believe other dentists would dare do. Dr S fixed some long standing gaps in my teeth that bothered me for years, she made those two front teeth shine again. Every time I see her it is a true pleasure. For not only is she extremely talented but she is also personable, relatable, and caring. I feel blessed to have Dr S as my dentist. If you’re looking for a new dentist, look no further.

Dr. Shawn Salehezadeh is the best dentist I’ve ever had. From the moment I walk in until I leave it’s a comforting and enjoyable experience. She’s made my teeth look and feel 100 times better and one if the best parts is that I’ve never felt the needle when an area in my mouth needs numbing. She’s amazing and I highly recommend her!

★★★★★
Dr. Salehezadeh is incredible, and I could not say enough good things about my experience as a new patient at Fine Dental. Afraid of the dentist and long overdue for an appointment, Dr. S made me feel comfortable from the moment she entered the room. She was honest and direct about the restorative work that I would be needing and was encouraging when it came to her proposed treatment plan. She was able to work with me on a realistic timeline that made sense for both my health and my budget. The work that she did was impeccable. She was gentle and efficient, accomplishing a great deal in a very short period of time, at a very reasonable price. I look forward to continuing to work with Dr. S, and I could not imagine putting my smile in anyone else’s hands.

I had a fantastic appointment with Dr. Salehezadeh! She’s warm, funny, and made me feel immediately at ease. She did a great job of explaining in an understandable way what was going on in my mouth and what she needed to do to fix the aches I was experiencing. The free 15 minute foot massage for all new patients didn’t hurt either! I’ve had bad experiences with dentists before and can be a bit phobic of these appointments, but I was laughing the whole time I was in Dr. Salehezadeh’s office… as least as much as one can when someone has their fingers in your mouth. Could not recommend more highly!

I have been using Dr. Salehezadeh for about 5 years now and have always been very pleased and satisfied with her work as well as the service provided by her office and support personnel. She is always very approachable and clear in her explanation of the scenario at hand and her approach to treatment. In the past I had a filling and a crown done and was very happy with both. Most recently, I also had a whitening treatment done and the results were great. I would very much recommend her to a friend or family member (which I actually had done).

What an amazing experience! From the extremely courteous, professional and skilled staff to the amazing foot massage from Peter. I called at 9am and received a same day appointment at noon with Dr. Salehezadeh. The check in was very prompt and the receptionist was so welcoming. I waited less that 15 minutes before I was called in for my exam. The office decor was modern, clean and very nice. I spent the most time with Rivka (Dental Assistant) and Dr. Salehezadeh. The bedside manner was superb and I was made comfortable throughout my visit. Dr. Salehezadeh was extremely polite, attentive and thorough when explaining all things related to my teeth and I’m very excited to be a new patient of hers. She is excellent. A very special shout out to Rivka as she made the entire visit amazing as she is extremely personable and knowledgeable. I’m very happy to have found such and amazing dental practice and I will be referring all my friends and family!
