Welcome to Let’s Smile Dental, Providing quality and compassionate dental care for you and your family

Dr. Ahmed’s biggest compliment is when he hears from patients who appreciate his gentle, non-judgmental, and compassionate touch to everything that he does. Formerly nervous or fearful patients often rethink their perception of dentistry following a visit to our New York, New York practice.

Dentistry for the “whole person”

The ability to design and support a warm, welcoming and inviting practice is critical; patients who fear the dentist are less likely to maintain routine hygiene appointments. These regular hygiene appointments are a “must” to keep their teeth and gums healthy. Since they forgo such treatment due to fear, their oral health deteriorates. We appreciate that oral health is inextricably linked to overall health and wellbeing. Consider how a toothache or swelling can interfere with your ability to chew food efficiently and comfortably. Nutrition suffers. Or, think of the last time dental or jaw pain interfered with the restful and restorative sleep that is so important to your emotional, mental, and physical health.

The connections transcend the role our teeth and gums play in the essential functions we need to be comfortable and healthy. For instance, a tremendous body of medical literature exists that implicates the bacteria and inflammation in periodontal (gum) disease is the development and worsening of conditions ranging from diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease and dementia to hypertension and respiratory disease. So, when you retain regular appointments at our friendly yet professional practice, you are doing both your smile and your body a world of good!

Here are just a few of the ways that Dr. Ahmed and our dental “family” maintain and restore the oral health and overall wellbeing of your family:

• Preventive and maintenance services, including dental exams and professional cleanings – Usually, these visits are scheduled at least once every six months. However, if you are at risk of developing gum or oral disease, we will schedule more frequent visits to monitor the state of your mouth and to assess progress on hygiene modifications and therapies. During these hygiene appointments, we may also recommend services such as dental sealants to protect decay-prone back teeth and mouthguards to protect teeth, tissues, and jaws from sports-related injuries.
• Restorative treatments – Dental restorations range from fillings and crowns to tooth replacement options such as the “gold standard” in prosthetic teeth: dental implants. Each implant functions like a tooth root to stabilize the replacement teeth, crowns, dental bridges, or dentures.
• Cosmetic care – Patients with otherwise healthy teeth and gums may benefit from practical and safe professional teeth whitening to porcelain veneers and dental bonding that disguises minor gaps, chips, and other “smile imperfections.”

Let’s Smile confidently and comfortably! Now that you have some insights into our dental team and approach, we want to know you and your family. Contact us at (212) 831-8940 to schedule your appointment with Dr. Ahmed.
