Dentist in Manhattan
 
Hi to everyone, I'm just arrived in Manhattan and i have a big problem, during the flight a part of my brace broke and i have to repair it because i'm gonna stay here for a month and if i won't repair it, my gum will cover the tooth which my dentist in italy is trying to pull down. Can someone give me an advice of a good dentist/ortodontist that can help me????
Maybe it would be better near Lexington Avenue. :)

Call Dr. Hollaway
Gramercy Dental

What I like about him, is that he uses specialist for various problems.

I paid for his round the world trip for his entire family.

That sounds like an orthodontist - not a dentist. Be prepared for high prices and payment in advance. Definitely explain the problem and ask about prices in advance.

If you need to find a less expensive option try the NYU dental school - where you can often have work done by students (supervised naturally) at a more modest price.

Thanks Nytrav, even if it's only a little repair. I hope it won't cost a lot. Anyway thanks to all, i sent an email to NYU dental and tomorrow io try to call or go. :)
