Gramercy Kids Smiles

Gramercy Kids Smiles is a pediatric dental practice located in New York, NY, dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate dental care for children from infancy through their teenage years. The clinic is led by Dr. Fatina Shtivelman, a board-certified pediatric dentist who is passionate about creating a positive and educational dental experience for her young patients. Dr. Shtivelman was inspired to specialize in this field and laser dentistry after her own son's experience with a tongue tie, which fueled her mission to help other mothers and children with similar issues. The clinic offers a wide range of specialized services, including preventative care such as cleanings, digital X-rays, and BPA-free sealants. For restorative needs, they provide tooth-colored fillings and crowns. Gramercy Kids Smiles also utilizes state-of-the-art laser technology for procedures like frenectomies, addressing issues such as breastfeeding difficulties and speech concerns. The practice also provides various sedation options, including nitrous oxide and general anesthesia, to ensure that anxious children feel comfortable and relaxed during their appointments. In addition to direct dental care, the clinic places a strong emphasis on parent and patient education, providing resources to help families establish and maintain good oral hygiene habits. The practice also works closely with trusted orthodontists, such as Gramercy Orthodontics, for early orthodontic evaluations to monitor and guide a child's dental development. The clinic's environment is designed to be child-friendly, with many patient reviews highlighting the staff's kindness, patience, and the overall welcoming atmosphere.
