Dental Examination in Manhattan, NY
What is a Dental Exam?
As part of her commitment to help every patient achieve a beautiful smile and great oral health, general and cosmetic dentist, Dr. Victoria Veytsman, performs annual dental examinations to evaluate the patient's teeth, gums, and jaws at her dental office in Midtown East Manhattan. During the dental exam, Dr. Veytsman assesses the patient's overall oral health and looks for signs of concern and disease. If any concerns are found during the examination, Dr. Veytsman will set up a dental consultation with the patient to go over any problems and create a treatment plan based on the patient's needs. By performing annual dental exams, Dr. Veytsman is able to catch problems early, which usually means faster, easier treatment for the patient. Dr. Veytsman uses state-of-the-art dental technology, like digital X-rays, to better evaluate and diagnose the patient's overall dental health.

Who Is A Good Candidate For Dental Exams?
Manhattan, NY residents of any age should attend oral exams at least once every year for preventive treatment. Dental exams might also be done to assess dental discomfort, trauma, or additional problems that might manifest between visits. Gum disease — the central reason for tooth loss — and dental cavities might not cause notable symptoms until reaching the more progressed stages. If oral problems are diagnosed immediately, our dental professionals can often provide more comprehensive solutions for treatment.

Great experience overall. Everyone is very friendly and helpful and I will definitely be back!
I have been seeing Dr. Veytsman for more than 3 years now. Each visit has been professional, informative and enjoyable.
Dr. Mayo, Paula, Annette and the entire staff were extremely friendly, highly professional, and I have 100% confidence in their dental care. Highly recommended to everyone!
Bespoke dental care in NYC. Very personalized treatment plans. I highly recommend her work. I had some fillings replaced a few years ago by Dr. Veytsman, and everything was painless and went well. The office staff is very warm and welcoming. It's a bit more expensive than other dentists, but you get what you pay for. This is a much more luxurious experience than other dentist's offices. It's definitely worth the cost.
Great Doctor – Dr. Veytsman is absolutely superb. Not only as a dentist but as a person. Tremendous integrity as a prefessional. Excellent..Excellent. There is always a sense of uncertainty when starting a new relationship with a new doctor..I felt a sense of security from the very first moment I met her. She is wonderful..Cisco Alvarez
