“Dr. Tai was extremely thorough and gentle and patient on my dental cleaning service. Would highly recommend him for anyone seeking dental care. He has been in the same office for over 30 years and you can tell he is very experienced. ?”

“Dr. Tai is very patient, calm and to the point. All details explained carefully to ensure I fully understand the procedures and after-care. I have visited a few times this year for both preventive care and some fixes, I very much feel like my teeth are in good hands! Also the front-desk Jennifer is also very nice and helpful in explaining my insurance questions. ”

Have to admit, I have a lot of anxiety about going to the dentist. Visiting Dr. Tai was a great experience! He was very kind and took his time to explain everything to me very well. He is also mindful of pain management during your visit. Booking my initial appointment was easy as was booking a follow-up. The office took proper precautions for covid as well.

Very patient and instructive
November 2, 2020Zeqi J.Verified patient
So incredibly professional and thorough in informing me about everything I could possibly need to know and more. I've never felt more taken care of by a doctor in my life. He was so impressively knowledgable (without being condescending or anything like that). I absolutely recommend his services. He is a perfectionist in the best way possible and has effectively motivated me to strive for perfection as well.

THE BEST

I’ve never had such a thorough or kind dentist. I’m usually nervous at the dentist but the way he explained each step put me at ease.
March 26, 2019Julianne N.Verified patient
Dr. Tai has been recommended to me by many friends who use him. Dr. Tai goes out of his way to provide a thorough screening & cleaning and to show you what is going on with each and every tooth via a small digital camera, helping to prevent problems down the line

Dr. Tai is very patient, responsible and detail-oriented. He takes time to explain to me about many things related to my teeth. Jeniffer is also very helpful. I enjoyed my visit! Highly recommended to other people who need to see a dentist.

Great overall experience. In-depth explanation of all procedures, evident high level of professionalism and expertise, warm and friendly staff.
November 6, 2017Pawel D.Verified patient
Dr. Tai was so great and so were his staff. I don't normally like to get my teeth cleaned but he was really gentle and patient. This appointment also came with the most thorough explanation of what was happening with my teeth I've ever gotten. It was complete with pictures and x-rays so I knew exactly where the problem areas were. I normally wait until I go home to California to see my dentist I've had my whole life, but I think I've found my replacement in New York! :)
December 21, 2016Tina C.Verified patient
Love Dr. Tai!! Very thorough and won't try to con you into undergoing a procedure you don't really need. His staff is also wonderful! HIGHLY recommend!
August 26, 2015Kristina O.Verified patient
I appreciate the thought Dr. Tai puts into helping me understand everything he does - he describes what he sees and does and explains what it means. Everyone in the office is very friendly and I always felt like I was in good hands.
August 15, 2014Ann C.Verified patient
If you want a Dentist who talks a lot Dr. Tai probably isn't for you, but personally I don't like chatty Dentists because I can't really respond when they're all up in my mouth. I love going to see Dr. Tai because he knows what he's doing - he sits you down, does all the cleaning and stuff himself (no dental hygienist first), and has all the latest teeth technology. He usually plays classical music while he works, which I find really calming. I wouldn't say his cleaning style is gentle - but again I like that he's really cleaning my teeth truly and fully. Some people may not think he's friendly but by the second time he opens up a lot! I highly recommend if he sounds like your style!

Finally found a dentist I want to keep in NYC!
May 8, 2014Matthew F.Verified patient
Positively surprised in all regards. Explains everything he does, gives you options and does not only push you into the most expensive one. Good bedside manners, hardly any wait, up to date equipment.
October 30, 2013Gregor K.Verified patient
Dr. Tai was wonderful. He was very thorough and helpful, answered all my questions, and even though I was late to the appointment he offered to stay late to do two fillings in one sitting. He also was very upfront about the price and made sure he asked me if it was okay before he began any of the work. When he saw on my paperwork that I have anxiety issues, he told me to make sure I raise my left hand if at any point I needed to take a break. He was great.

Dr. Cheng Tai was great!! He took his time and explained everything he was doing, and educated me very well on the condition of my teeth and gums. I liked that he didn't push anything on me just made recommendations and offered to check with the insurance company in regards to what they would cover before I made a decision to move forward with anything so I would not have to pay out of pocket. He took photos and X-rays and explained each and every one of them to me. I showed up 10 minutes late and he was very nice about it and saw me as soon as I finished filling out the paperwork (which wasn't much at all). He even had one of his "girls" out sick but still managed to be very attentive. I already have a follow-up appointment to get a couple of cavities filled next week. I highly recommend Dr. Cheng Tai!

I love how I was informed and explained before every procedure. I had dental fobia for years but I think I am comfortable to see Dr Tai regularly from now on.

Very thorough in his analysis, did both an X-ray as well as a photographic exam. He pulled up all the images from the two exams to explain all the details of what was wrong and what needed to be fixed. Very straight forward about what is and is not covered by insurance
