Established in 2003. Our mission is to provide exemplary dental care to the adult population of the New York City area by applying the "Golden Rule" to dentistry. We treat our patients the way we ourselves want to be treated -- with compassion and integrity. This involves first the integrity and skill of the clinician as well as the integrity of the resulting treatment. To this end, we utilize proven technologies and efficient systems. We employ Dentists who are knowledgeable, perceptually adept, manually dexterous, and very personable. We provide comprehensive care. General dentists and specialists work together to prevent and treat dental disorders. Hygienists help maintain oral health and counsel on home care. On our staff we have 3 general dentists, a board certified Periodontist, an Endodontist and 3 Hygienists. Our dentists have advanced training in various aspects of dentistry which includes: porcelain veneers, minimally invasive dentistry, Waterlase (laser) dentistry, TMJ appliances, dental implants, periodontal (gum) procedures and Endodontics (root canals). Patients are educated and encouraged to be involved in their own case planning. All the advances of modern technology are at the clinician's disposal.
The Dental laser can be used as an alternative to drilling for small cavities and other delicate procedures. It is less invasive and less traumatic to the teeth. It can also be used for many procedures involving the gingiva (gums).

A dental professional reviews and e-quips himself with new electric toothbrush
June 19, 2018, 4:50 p.m.
I have tried all the toothbrushes on the market and enjoy using the quip toothbrush, the so-called Tesla of toothbrushes. I decided I needed to try it out and I was pleasantly surprised. It runs on a AAA battery that is easy to replace and eliminates the need for an electric cord in a wet environment. The absence of a cord and rechargeable battery leaves less of an environmental footprint which is conscientious. They also keep you accountable to change your brush heads with their subscription program which delivers brush heads automatically every 3 months. Its design has a sleek and ergonomic handle making the toothbrush as maneuverable as a manual toothbrush, while adding the sonic mechanism to boost the cleaning effect! I get the best results when I brush just as if I was using a manual toothbrush and that’s how I instruct my patients to do it. Finally, the cost is not inhibitive (starting at $25), which allows you to get multiple ones for your family and travel without worry. In short, the quip toothbrush does the job of an electric toothbrush without losing the benefits of a manual brush. The quip itself is clean, conscientious to the environment and cost-effective.
How 4 small businesses use technology to thrive

Cloud-based software sinks teeth into patient info
Slim Dental, a New York City-based dental practice, uses technology to drive improvements in recruiting, human resources management and marketing. But the real game-changer lies in using technology to improve customer service, says founder Stephen Lim.
Doctors can write their notes and see their schedules, X-rays and patient records from anywhere by using cloud-based, patient-management software. It allows them to focus on providing top-notch patient care while at the office.
Employees use the cloud-based system to pull up records at any of the practice''s three locations, which provides convenience for patients who move or change jobs within the city, Lim says.
Tip: Move to a cloud-based system to untether employees from their computers and filing cabinets, increasing both customer convenience and productivity.

I honestly look forward to going to my dentist! I never did before and had been to multiple dentists. Dr Lim's whole Rockerfeller practice is amazing. The dentists really engage with you and openly discuss all your questions and concerns. I have had fillings, mercury filling replaced, cleaning and wisdom teeth extractions in the chair. The dentists are also perfectionists and will keep making the slightest alterations on fillings until they feel right. My husband had a severe reaction to anaesthetic and was made to feel so comfortable and it was handled so well! I have sensitivities to a lot of medicines and they were so patient and caring. We are not easy patients. Also they have great technology and equipment. Clean practice.

Doctor Lim is fantastic. This was my first pain free dental visit and had a lot of work done. A friend who has been seeing Dr. Lim for many years told me how great he was and my friend was completely spot on.
