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.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Examinations?
Dental exams performed by a professional dentist are an irreplaceable part of a proper oral health regimen. Benefits of annual dental exams administered by Dr. Veytsman at her Manhattan, NY facility include:
- Pinpointing any possible oral health issues
- Extending the healthy lifespan of your teeth
- Minimizing the risk of uncomfortable and expensive dental emergencies
- Employing the latest tools to examine your overall oral well-being
- Digital x-rays display structural issues and use minimal radiation

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.
What to Expect during a Dental Exam
The dental examination seeks to evaluate the overall health of the patient’s teeth, gums, bones, and jaw. During the examination, Dr. Veytsman will look at the patient’s mouth as well and take X-rays to get a more in-depth understanding of their oral care needs. Through physical exams and digital X-rays, Dr. Veytsman will be able to assess and diagnose any cavities, chips, disease, and decay in the mouth. Patients will also receive a teeth cleaning following their examination. Dr. Veytsman will discuss any issues or concerns regarding their exam as well as offer recommendations for care options.
Dental Examination Reviews
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!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I usually dread the dentist, but have been wanting to get my done for a very long time. I've been to a couple different dentists within the city but was never overly impressed by any of them. From the moment I walked in the door I felt like I was being treated like royalty. Dr. V's assistant is absolutely amazing. She makes you feel so comfortable and taken care of. Dr. V isn't the kind of dentist that comes in, does what she needs to do and disappears; she really takes her time to explain everything and you can tell she is genuinely a nice/caring person; not to mention she is incredibly thorough, which everyone wants in a dentist. Her assistant made sure I knew she was next to me during the whole procedure, they played music, offered a blanket, the whole nine yards of royal treatment. Not to mention, my teeth look absolutely amazing and I can't stop showing them off. I can tell you that after this experience, I'm never going to another dentist in NYC again except for Dr. V. I'm actually excited to go back. If you have a dentist in NYC other than Dr. V I strongly suggest you try her, you will never go to anyone else again. She really is THAT impressive; take it from someone who has worked in doctor's offices.
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
