Your First Visit
Hello new patient! We’re delighted that you’ve chosen Tribeca Dental Studio. Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about preparing for your inaugural appointment, from paperwork to state-of-the-art 3D imaging.

What to Do Before Your Visit
1. Intake Paperwork
Fill out our online new patient paperwork prior to arrival, or arrive early to complete it in person at our front desk.
2. ID & Insurance Cards
Bring your official photo ID and provide front/back images of your dental insurance card prior to or upon arrival.
3. Confirmation & Special Care
Respond to our confirmation text message. Inform us in advance if you require antibiotic premedication or sedation support.
Your First Examination Protocol
Upon arrival, our front desk team will check you in. One of our clinical providers will then accompany you to your private suite for a thorough assessment:
We capture a head-and-shoulders picture to personalize your chart (and track growth for pediatric patients).
We thoroughly review your health background, sensitivities, and clinical goals together.
We record a high-precision, radiation-free 3D optical model of your teeth and occlusion.
We perform low-radiation digital X-rays followed by a comprehensive oral exam and professional cleaning.
Seldom Need to Go Anywhere Else
Our multidisciplinary structure unites general dentists, endodontists, periodontists, orthodontists, oral surgeons, and pediatric specialists in one collaborative Tribeca location.
- Pediatric & Adult Preventive Care
- Sedation & Pain-Free Comfort Protocols
- Microscope & Laser Enhanced Procedures
A Diagnosis, Not a Sales Pitch
Your first visit is the most important appointment we will ever have together. Not because of what we do to your teeth that day, but because of what we learn. My rule in this practice is simple: we diagnose before we recommend anything. I want to know why something is the way it is, whether that is a tooth that hurts, gums that bleed, or snoring that is stealing your sleep, before anyone talks treatment.
That is why we take real images: a radiation-free iTero 3D scan, low-dose digital X-rays, and patient photographs. Then we put them up on the screen and walk through them together. You will see what I see. You will leave with answers and a plan, not a list of procedures.
If You Are Nervous, You Are in Good Company
Most of my new patients tell me they have been putting this visit off for years. There are no lectures here. If the dentist makes you nervous, tell us on the intake forms or when you arrive, and we will take it seriously. Comfort is built into the office: massage-equipped treatment chairs, personal entertainment, and sedation options including nitrous oxide and IV sedation.
And one more thing that matters more: you are in control. We move at your pace, we explain each step before we take it, and we stop if you need us to. My job is for you to leave thinking you should have come sooner, not that you survived the appointment.
Common Questions
01What should I bring to my first visit?↓
Bring a photo ID, and send us front and back images of your dental insurance card before or when you arrive.
02Do I need to fill out forms before I arrive?↓
You can complete our online new patient paperwork before your visit to speed up check-in, or arrive a few minutes early to fill it out at our front desk. Either way works.
03Will I get a cleaning at my first visit?↓
Your first visit centers on a comprehensive exam: we review your health history, take a 3D iTero scan and low-radiation digital X-rays, and examine your mouth thoroughly. A professional cleaning is included when your diagnosis calls for it.
04What if I have not seen a dentist in years?↓
You are not alone, and there are no lectures here. Many of our new patients put this off for years. Tell us your concerns on the intake forms or when you arrive, and we will move at your pace, starting with a full diagnosis before any treatment is discussed.
05Do you offer sedation if I am anxious?↓
Yes. We offer sedation options including nitrous oxide and IV sedation for patients with dental anxiety. Let us know in advance if you are nervous, and we will plan your visit around your comfort.
06What happens after my first visit?↓
We walk you through what we found on the screen, discuss a clear plan, and answer every question before anything is scheduled. You can then book your next steps online or call us at 212-561-5303.

Book First VisitDental Care in Tribeca, New York
Tribeca Dental Studio has served Lower Manhattan from 54 Warren Street since 2007. Our practice brings together general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, oral surgery, and periodontics under one roof — so families don't need to travel between offices for different kinds of care.
Dr. Nina Izhaky leads our clinical team with a focus on airway health, dental implants, veneers, and pediatric dentistry. Our approach starts with diagnosis: we find out why a problem exists before recommending treatment. For snoring and sleep apnea, that means identifying the cause — whether it's nasal obstruction, jaw position, or soft tissue — rather than defaulting to a single device or procedure.
We use 3D CBCT imaging, digital planning, and laser dentistry including NightLase for snoring and LANAP for gum disease. Our Biolase laser means most cavities can be treated with no needles, no drill sounds, and no numbness — patients return to work or school right after their visit.
For patients without insurance, our dental plan is $70 per month (normally $100), covering preventive care, exams, and routine visits with no insurance company in the middle. We are located at 54 Warren St, New York, NY 10007, serving Tribeca, SoHo, Battery Park City, the Financial District, and surrounding downtown neighborhoods.
Your Visit from Tribeca
Getting here from Tribeca is a short walk, not a trip, and that is how most of our neighbors arrive. If you are coming by subway, the 1, 2, 3, A, C, and E trains stop at Chambers Street, about a five-minute walk up Warren to our door. The 4, 5, and 6 at Brooklyn Bridge–City Hall are ten minutes on foot through the civic center, and the J and Z also stop at Chambers Street for the east-side connection.
Citi Bike stations sit on Warren Street and Greenwich Street, and New Jersey commuters can take PATH to the World Trade Center Oculus.
When you arrive at 54 Warren Street, we keep the day simple and unhurried from the moment you check in. Our team works together under one roof, so your visit stays in one place instead of sending you across town for another appointment or another opinion. We talk through what brought you in, take any imaging we need here in the office, and explain what we are seeing in plain language before we discuss next steps together.
You will always know what we recommend, why we recommend it, and what can wait, so you leave with a clear plan rather than unanswered questions.
Life in Tribeca moves between the cast-iron lofts on Franklin Street, the towers along West Street, and afternoons with families at Washington Market Park, and we schedule with that rhythm in mind. We are open Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 6 PM, Saturday from 9 AM to 4 PM, and Sunday from 9 AM to 2 PM, and you can book online any time or call us at (212) 561-5303.
Street parking here is tight, with cobblestone blocks and film shoots, but attended garages on Warren Street and Greenwich Street sit within a block of our door. Follow-ups stay with our same team, so your care feels continuous.
Ongoing care is where being neighbors really pays off for our Tribeca patients. A six-month recall is just a short walk over, a quick check-in with the team who already knows your history, and a cleaning that fits between school drop-off and the rest of your day. When treatment takes more than one visit, we sequence it sensibly, review healing in person, and adjust the plan together rather than by phone tag.
Because we have cared for families here since 2007, we notice small changes early, keep your records continuous, and remind you when you are due — so staying on track never feels like starting over.
How Care Is Planned at Our Tribeca Studio
Every treatment plan at Tribeca Dental Studio begins with a diagnosis, not a recommendation made in the abstract. We examine the tooth or area in question, review imaging taken here in the office — including 3D CBCT scans when the case calls for them — and talk through what we see in plain language before any treatment is proposed. You will always know what we recommend, why we recommend it, and what could safely wait.
When several options would serve you well, we lay them side by side: what each involves, how many visits it takes, how long it is expected to last, and what it asks of the neighboring teeth and bone.
That conversation becomes a written plan. The sequence, the timing, and the reasoning are set down before treatment begins, so there are no surprises mid-course and no step is improvised. Staged treatment is grouped into planned steps when we can, and each stage is checked before the next one starts.
If a simpler option would serve you just as well, that is the option we will put in front of you — and if the honest answer is that a tooth or a treatment can be watched rather than treated today, we will say that instead.
Because every specialty sits under one roof at 54 Warren St, a plan that touches several disciplines is designed as a whole. Implant surgery, periodontics, endodontics, orthodontics, cosmetic work, airway care, and pediatric dentistry are handled by one team in one place, which means the implant plan accounts for the gum plan, the orthodontic plan accounts for the airway, and nothing is lost between offices across town.
Your records, your imaging, and your history stay with the same team from the first visit through every follow-up.
Technology We Use — and Why It Matters
Good planning depends on seeing clearly. Our studio works with 3D CBCT imaging, which shows bone volume, nerve positions, sinus anatomy, and root form in three dimensions rather than the flat shadow of a standard X-ray. Implant positions, grafting decisions, root canal anatomy, and expansion planning are all worked out on that imaging before treatment begins, so the day of the procedure holds as few unknowns as possible.
Digital planning carries the same approach into orthodontics and cosmetic work: tooth movement and smile design are mapped in advance, and you can see the intended direction before committing to it.
Laser technology is part of everyday care here, from gum therapy to the NightLase protocol we use for snoring. Lasers let us treat soft tissue with precision and, in many cases, with a quieter recovery than traditional surgery. For sleep concerns, we use at-home sleep testing rather than assumptions: your breathing is measured in your own bed, and the results — not a guess — decide whether an oral appliance, NightLase, or a referral is the right path.
Technology earns its place in the plan only when it changes a decision or improves an outcome; that is the standard each tool here is held to.
Costs, Insurance, and Written Estimates
Before treatment begins, you receive the plan in writing — including what each stage involves and what it costs — so you can decide with the full picture in front of you. There is no obligation attached to a consultation, and a second opinion is a reasonable thing to want; we would rather you choose with clear information than feel rushed into a chair.
If you have dental insurance, our team verifies your coverage and explains what it does and does not apply to before we start, and if you do not, the written plan still lets you stage treatment sensibly over time.
Dental treatment is often easier to approach in planned stages than all at once. A written plan lets you sequence what is urgent, what protects the teeth around it, and what is elective, so each visit moves the whole plan forward. If something changes along the way — a tooth responds better or worse than expected — the plan is revisited with you, in writing, before the next step. That discipline is what keeps a long course of treatment from becoming a series of surprises.
Comfort, Recovery, and Follow-Up
Most dental anxiety comes from the unknown, so we work to remove it: what will happen, how long it takes, what it will feel like, and what recovery looks like are all covered before we begin. During treatment we check in rather than push through, and after it we tell you plainly what is normal, what is not, and when to call.
Written aftercare instructions go home with you, and the precautions in them — protecting a healing site, eating soft foods for a few days, keeping the area clean — are the difference between an uneventful recovery and a complicated one.
Follow-up is part of the treatment, not an extra. We schedule reviews around your life, use return visits to check healing and the details we flagged together, and keep recall reminders running so maintenance does not drift. If something feels off between visits, we would rather see you quickly than have you wait and wonder.
Call us at (212) 561-5303 or book online at any time — the studio is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and Sunday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
Before You Book
A final word on how to use pages like this one. Treatment pages describe what is possible; a consultation decides what is appropriate — for your anatomy, your history, your goals, and your budget, in that order of conversation. If anything here has raised a question we have not answered, bring it with you: patients who arrive with marked-up pages and specific questions get the most from their first visit, and the plan we write together is better for it.
Tribeca Dental Studio is at 54 Warren St in Tribeca, and new patients are welcome at any of the services described on this site. Book online at any time or call (212) 561-5303. The first step is an examination and an honest conversation; everything else in dentistry follows from those two things done properly.
The Next Step Is a Conversation
Wherever this page found you — a search at midnight, a partner's forwarded link, a dentist's suggestion — the next step is smaller than the worry usually makes it feel. A consultation at the studio is an examination and a conversation, not a commitment: findings first, options with their honest trade-offs, a written plan with costs, and time to decide at home.
Patients tell us the plan is what they actually came for, whether they proceed here, proceed elsewhere, or proceed nowhere for now. That is the offer, and it stands on every page of this site: 54 Warren St, bookable online at any hour, or at (212) 561-5303 — Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Sunday 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
The Consultation Is Not a Funnel
A last word that applies to every page in this series, whichever treatment brought you here: the consultation is not a funnel. Patients arrive at these pages mid-worry — about a tooth, a jaw, a night's sleep, a smile in photographs — and the studio's answer has been the same since 2007. An examination. Imaging where imaging decides. A written plan with the options and their costs, including the option of doing less, or nothing yet.
Then time to think, at home, without a follow-up call designed to hurry you. If that is the experience you were hoping dentistry could be, the door is at 54 Warren St, and it opens online at any hour or at (212) 561-5303.
About Tribeca Dental Studio
Tribeca Dental Studio has practiced at 54 Warren St in Tribeca since 2007, under the direction of Dr. Nina Izhaky. The studio brings general dentistry, cosmetic care, implant surgery, periodontics, endodontics, orthodontics, airway and sleep care, and pediatric dentistry together under one roof — deliberately, so that a treatment touching several specialties is planned as a whole by one team, in one set of records, rather than handed off between offices across town.
Patients come to us from Tribeca, the Financial District, Battery Park City, SoHo, and neighborhoods across downtown Manhattan.
Every plan here starts with a diagnosis: an examination, imaging taken in the office — including 3D CBCT when the case calls for it — and a conversation in plain language about what we see. You will know what we recommend, why, and what could safely wait, and the recommendation becomes a written plan before treatment begins. That discipline is the studio's answer to dentistry that is sold instead of planned.
One Team, Every Specialty
A one-roof practice is only an advantage if the team works as one, so cases here are reviewed across specialties rather than passed between them. The implant plan accounts for the gum plan; the orthodontic plan accounts for the airway; a child's expansion plan accounts for how they breathe and sleep.
Records, imaging, and history stay with the same team from the first visit through every follow-up, which means nothing is re-explained, nothing is lost, and no step is planned in isolation.
Our doctors and hygienists share one standard across every discipline: treatment is recommended because a diagnosis supports it, sized to the problem in front of us, and checked at follow-up rather than assumed successful. You will meet specialists whose entire practice is the discipline your case needs — and a general team that knows your mouth well enough to notice when something has changed.
Technology and Visiting
The studio works with 3D CBCT imaging, digital treatment planning, and laser technology — including LANAP for gum disease and NightLase for snoring — because each of them changes a decision or improves an outcome. Imaging shows bone, nerves, sinuses, and root anatomy in three dimensions before treatment begins; digital plans map orthodontic movement and cosmetic work in advance; at-home sleep testing replaces guesses about breathing with measurements taken in your own bed.
Technology that cannot meet that standard does not get a place in the plan.
You can reach us at 54 Warren St, between Greenwich Street and West Broadway, steps from the Chambers Street subway hub (1, 2, 3, A, C, E), with attended garages on Warren Street and Greenwich Street within a block. We are open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and Sunday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
Book online at any time or call (212) 561-5303 — new patients are welcome, and same-day slots are held daily for dental emergencies.
The Standard Behind the Work
The studio's name for its standard is simple: nothing irreversible happens on the strength of a guess. Teeth are imaged before they are drilled, grafted, aligned, or removed; plans are written before they are billed; results are reviewed after they are delivered.
That standard holds for a single filling and for a full-arch reconstruction alike, and it is why our consultations sometimes end in watchful waiting instead of treatment — a plan that says 'not yet' is a plan doing its job.
It also shapes how we handle the business of dentistry. Fees are presented in writing, stage by stage, before treatment begins; insurance coverage is verified and explained against that plan; and no stage starts until you have seen its place in the whole. Patients comparing practices should compare exactly this: not the promise, but the paper. We have kept patients for years at a time on the strength of plans that did what they said.
Practicing in Lower Manhattan Since 2007
Lower Manhattan is a demanding neighborhood to practice in — patients are informed, schedules are unforgiving, and reputations travel by word of mouth faster than by advertising. The studio has grown since 2007 the slow way: one kept plan, one checked result, one family at a time.
Our Google rating, earned across hundreds of reviews, reflects that accumulation rather than any single campaign, and we read every review the way we read a follow-up examination — as information about what to do better.
Whether you found us through a neighbor, a search, or a walk past our door on Warren Street, the offer is the same: a thorough examination, an honest reading of what it shows, and a written plan you can think over without pressure. Book online at any time or call (212) 561-5303, and hold us to every word of it.
Access, Appointments, and Records
Access matters as much as expertise, so the practical facts are kept simple. The studio is wheelchair accessible, reachable by elevator, and a few minutes' walk from accessible subway stations; attended garages on Warren Street and Greenwich Street sit within a block for patients who drive.
Appointments run on a schedule designed to be kept — we hold same-day slots for emergencies rather than borrowing them from booked patients, and we confirm every appointment in advance so a change in your day does not become a surprise in ours.
Records and referrals move quickly here because they rarely need to leave the building: when a case does call for an outside specialist or a physician's input — sleep medicine, for instance — we coordinate it directly and keep the whole plan in one chart. Your information stays with the team treating you, and your history accumulates in one place, visit after visit, year after year.
How We Plan Your Care at Tribeca Dental Studio
Every treatment at Tribeca Dental Studio starts with a diagnosis, not a sales pitch. Before we recommend anything, we examine the tooth or area in question, review imaging taken here in the office, and talk through what we see in plain language. You will always know what we recommend, why we recommend it, and what could safely wait.
That recommendation becomes a written plan, so the sequence, the timing, and the reasoning are clear before any treatment begins — and if a simpler option would serve you just as well, that is the option we will put in front of you.

Care does not end when the procedure does. We schedule reviews and follow-ups around your life, group staged treatment into planned steps when we can, and use each return visit to check healing and watch the details we flagged together. Between appointments we stay in touch with recall reminders and clear next steps, and if something feels off, we would rather see you quickly than have you wait and wonder.
The goal is a plan you understand, a team you recognize, and results that are checked over time rather than assumed.
