She has a fabulous staff, my appointments always begin on time and takes every insurance imaginable and is really familiar with what is included in your plan before you get there. The office is right between CPW and Columbus on 86th Street. She is super thorough, does the cleaning and X-Rays herself and rarely lets the hygienist get involved. Very hands on and I feel that she actually cares about my canines :) Whenever you leave, she makes sure to stock you up on all the goodies--toothpaste, toothbrush and of course, the floss. Highly recommend her and she works occasionally on Saturdays as well, so if you can't break away from work, she is available. Now excuse me, I have to go admire my pearly whites...

Never behind schedule, appointments are fairly easy to schedule and the location is great. I have had a few things done to my teeth and she has NEVER recommended procedures that are costly or unnecessary. For example: I had a chipped tooth, and I was given three options on handling the crack. This is RARE in the Manhattan dental scene- usually they try to bill you up as much as possible. She even had the receptionist check my insurance prior to taking the full set of xrays as she did not want them to bill me the additional $170 if not covered- very considerate! The only negative: the office and equipment is a bit dated. I would, however trade this in for an honest dentist in a heartbeat.

I am writing this review out of genuine disappointment and concern regarding the business practices…read moreat Central West Dentistry, as I paid for services that were not delivered as described. I returned to this practice in August 2025 specifically because of my past positive experience with Dr. Martin, who had always been sensitive to my severe dental anxiety. For my August appointment, booked for a cleaning, exam, and X-rays, I confirmed in advance that I required nitrous for the entire visit along with Valium. Instead, I was met with repeated pressure from a hygienist I had never met before about "concerns" with my teeth and gums, even though Dr. Martin had already examined me and said everything "looked good." The hygienist left mid-appointment to discuss insurance coverage with the office manager, leaving me waiting. When I asked to proceed with the cleaning I originally booked, she turned the nitrous off, switched to oxygen and I ultimately left without the full service. Because I care deeply about my dental health, I later scheduled Periodontal Scaling and Root Planing for today, the deep cleaning their hygienist recommended. I was told it would take two hours to complete all four quadrants and cost roughly $350 per quadrant. I prepaid nearly $2,000 and confirmed, in writing, that I required nitrous for the entire appointment and did not want any upsells mid appointment. Despite receiving multiple confirmations (two emails, three calls, and a text), the experience again fell far short. I flew into NYC specifically for this appointment and timed my anxiety medication with the appointment time to ensure treatment would go smoothly. When I arrived early at their request, the hygienist attempted to rush me into treatment before the nitrous had taken effect, contradicting their claim of understanding dental anxiety care. Then I was told I would receive injections to numb my entire mouth, something never mentioned during the booking process, not listed online in the procedure description, and not disclosed in any of our prior conversations. I declined and requested standard numbing gel. The "two-hour" Periodontal Scaling and Root Planing began at 4:02 pm and ended at 4:32 pm, 30 minutes total. Literally. I was then told the reason was simply, "Your teeth are in such good shape." This is especially concerning given that four months earlier, I was told (during a basic cleaning) that my gums were in such poor condition they needed to stop mid-appointment to verify insurance approval for a deep cleaning. Yet now, after paying cash upfront, all four quadrants were completed in just half an hour. It feels inconsistent at best, and at worst, like a bait-and-switch situation. I also paid $215 for nitrous oxide. Based on the photo I took, the machine displayed 60% nitrous / 30% oxygen. At no point did I feel the typical physical effects one would expect--especially when combined with a prescribed sedative. It raises the question of whether the nitrous tank was empty or improperly administered. I've had nitrous EVERY dental appointment for 20 years - i know how I'm supposed to feel, I repeatedly said nothing was coming and I was fully alert, yet another scam. To summarize, I paid nearly $2,000 for: * A two-hour Periodontal Scaling and Root Planing that lasted only 30 minutes * Four quadrants of scaling, when realistically only one or two may have been addressed * Nitrous oxide that did not appear to be delivered as represented * An exam I was told was required, yet I never saw the dentist at all. Oh and on my statement, it stated I received an Ibero scan - never happened and the receptionist said, well you weren't charged for it. LOL. I am requesting reimbursement for the nitrous charge, two of the four quadrants, and the exam fee. Patients have choices in dental care. If a practice advertises expertise in treating dental anxiety, the staff should be trained to actually deliver on that promise. Unfortunately, my experience demonstrated the opposite.

Dr. Yu is one of those rare NYC dentists who will NOT tell that you have multiple cavities that…read morerequire fillings just to make money. I had a cleaning done at Pearl Dental, and the dentist there told me I had 3 cavities (this was during the high point of the pandemic when business was slow). That dentist made it sound like my teeth were going to rot to the core if I did not get the fillings immediately, and did not provide any specific explanation for why I needed fillings. Thanks to a friend's recommendation, I came to see Dr.Yu, who found that two of the cavities were just dark spots, and only one cavity actually needed filling. Dr.Yu took photos of each of the alleged cavity and explained in detail why each was not a real cavity, and why the one that was a cavity might need filling, and the potential danger of overdoing fillings. One thing to keep in mind is that her office's interior is quite cramped and does not look very fancy compared to the other dentists I saw. But I took it to be a good sign that she is not one of those dentists who is not out to make money at the expense of patient health. Most of her clients come through referrals, not Yelp reviews, which is why you won't see a lot of five star reviews that are likely from paid fake reviewers on here for her.

Autistic adults in my position, please come here! They actually listen! They've got sunglasses, they've got headphones, if you tell them to stop, they stop. The hygienist went out of her way to not use the loud brush on me, instead hand scaling and using an ultrasonic cleaner thing on my teeth. It was the most comfortable visit I ever had, even with the huuuge amount of work I needed done. At no point was I talked down to, yet their bedside manner was still soothing and friendly. This place was an honest to goodness miracle for me!
