At Touro Dental Health NY, our team of skilled general dentists, faculty, and dedicated students provide personalized treatment. We’re committed to compassionate and preventive care. Our spacious facility means a more relaxed, private clinical environment than what most dental schools can offer. Our great patient-faculty ratio also means you’ll get the most attentive care.
General Dental Services We Offer
Our general dentistry services focus on both preventive care and restorative treatments. Whether you need a routine cleaning, filling or dental restoration, we use the latest techniques and instruments to keep your smile healthy. Our goal is to ensure that your teeth not only look great, but also perform effectively. Here are the main dental services we offer:
Full Dental Cleaning
We encourage patients to come in for a dental cleaning at least once every six months. A full dental cleaning is essential for oral health: it keeps your smile bright, reduces gum inflammation, and reduces the chance of cavities.
Cavity Fillings
If you have a cavity, we’ll fill it with composite resin. This is a safe, tooth-colored filling that’s commonly used today.
Crowns
Crowns, also known as caps, restore the proper look and function to a tooth. Crowns are often placed over a cracked tooth, a fragile tooth (such as after a root canal), or over an implant.
Dentures
Dentures can be either fixed or removable. Using a 3D scanner, we take an impression that will be used to form your denture. Dentures are a good choice for those seeking a surgery-free option to improve their smile.
Looking for implants or more complex procedures? Visit our Dental Services page to have a comprehensive look at everything we offer. And for all of your dental prosthetic needs, we have prosthodontists on staff who can find the best option to restore your smile. Learn more about Prosthodontics.
At Touro, Preventive Dental Care is Key
Preventive care is at the heart of our general dentistry practice. Regular check-ups help identify issues before they become serious. By focusing on prevention, we aim to protect your natural smile and save you from more extensive and costly treatments down the line.
Our Comprehensive Dental Exam Identifies Issues Early
When you first arrive at Touro Dental, our team will conduct a comprehensive oral exam. This includes a head and neck exam and oral cancer screening. This exam is important so we can diagnose any issues in their earliest stages, providing you with the best chance for successful treatment. General dentistry is about more than just addressing immediate needs. Our goal is to build a foundation for long-term oral health.

What Sets Us Apart from Other Dental Practices?
While Touro Dental Health is a student teaching practice, you will get an exceptional level of care as a patient. This is for two main reasons:
We Have Every Dental Specialty Under One Roof.
At Touro Dental, we have every specialist you could need right next door to each other. Implant specialists, oral surgeons, endodontists, periodontists, and other highly-trained specialists are all here. We even have oral and maxillofacial (OMF) radiologists that have expert training assessing complex oral radiographs (x-rays). When you receive complex care at a private dental office, you may need multiple referrals to see outside specialists. Here at Touro, you can often see the specialist you need on that same day!
Even Though We're a Dental School, We're 100% Patient-Centered.
This means that the #1 priority is the patient’s needs. Of course, our student dentists are here to learn, but we’ll never suggest a procedure simply to demonstrate for the student. Instead, we focus on what’s best for your individual needs. We work with you to determine the best outcome based on your preferences, insurance, and what will be most comfortable for you.
What is the Difference Between a General Dentist and a Specialist Dentist?
A general dentist performs all routine care and restorative dental services such as dental cleanings, fillings, etc. On the other hand, a dental specialist has additional education in a focused area. For example, a periodontist focuses on the supporting structures in the mouth, such as surrounding bone and gum tissue. All dental specialists have general dentistry training, but not every dentist has a specialized focus.
Our Dental Safety Protocols
At Touro, all patients get a very comprehensive health screening before any dental work takes place. All dental students are supervised by a dental practitioner, so rest assured that your oral health is in good hands. And just like any private dental office, we follow the highest level of hygiene and safety precautions. This includes daily cleaning and disinfection, and sterilizing instruments.
Our Dental Experts
“At Touro, the level of quality we offer is of a higher standard than what you’ll normally see at the dentist’s office. We can offer a more informed perspective on your dental health, because we have so many different specialties all under one roof. We’re also on the cutting edge of digital dentistry, beyond what you'll find at other dental schools or most private practices”
– Marvin Brody, D.D.S, Director of Clinical Education.
