“Best...Dentist...Ever!!! I was very afraid to go to the dentist after some bad experiences but finally had to because my teeth looked so bad. Dr. Lakhia was super nice, very friendly, checked my teeth out and came up with a gameplan to fix my teeth. She explained everything to me in easy to understand language, took her time, and answered all my questions, even the dumb ones! I am no longer afraid of the dentist and my teeth look geat.”

“Where to begin with this amazing soul? Dr. Lakhia is even more beautiful than her office, which is absolutely stunning! She will made me feel totally comfortable and also confident in the decisions that I was making about my teeth. She listened carefully when I was explaining to her my goals for my teeth… And lemme tell you… She DEFINITELY knows what she’s talking about and she 1,000% cares about her treatments making you feel your best… ooohhhh you can tell! The time that she spent talking to me, and fine tuning, and making sure everything was perfect… she is a superstar! And on top of all of that, she is an absolute artist. When my final veneers went in, uuuuhhhh I felt like a moviestar. She exceeded my expectations! I literally can not stop smiling! Thank you Dr. L for everything that you do! NYC needs more doctors like you!”

Dr. Lakhia is the single most caring doctor I ever met! She has amazingly warm energy and from the moment I walked into her office she made me feel relaxed, understood and genuinely cared for. I put off my dental care for many years and was embarrassed by the way my teeth looked, but at my initial consultation with Dr. Lakhia she greeted me with no judgment at all. She listened to my concerns, carefully examined my mouth and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. It was such a refreshing experience when she thoroughly explained to me everything that she saw in my mouth in a way that I could actually understand. Dr. Lakhia came up with an amazing plan that not only fixed my teeth beautifully so that I could smile and chew again, but also gave me back my confidence, and for that I can never thank her enough. If you put off your dental care like I did and are afraid to take that first step, please don't be afraid, Dr. Lakhia there to help and will change your life for the better!

My job is extremely stressful so I tend to grind and clench my teeth. Dr. Lakhia was able to correct my bite and fit me with terrific looking crowns and veneers. I no longer have to worry about the look of my teeth in meetings.

Dr. Lakhia definitely knows her stuff. I was blow away by her professionalism and talent. This was my first time being treated by a prosthodontist (not my family dentist). She not only fixed my immediate concerns but also foresaw other problems likely to occur in the near future. Her explanations of everything helped me see and understand what exactly was going on with my teeth so I didn’t have any unexpected surprises and so that I could make the best treatment decisions for myself. I couldn’t be happier with my new smile.

The results? Absolutely life-changing! My smile has never looked or felt better.I am beyond grateful for the care and expertise that went into my treatment.
