Care You Can Count On

Our Approach to Quality Dental Care

We’re committed to excellent patient care above all else. For us, dentistry isn’t about recommending unnecessary and costly treatments. It's about understanding your dental needs and providing you with straightforward, effective treatments. Our conservative approach keeps your teeth healthy and functional for years to come. We pride ourselves on being a dental practice that you can trust with whatever dental issues that may arise. Above all, we are here for YOU!

Honest, Compassionate Care

Get To Know Dr. Utsav Patel

Dr. Utz Patel grew up on the East End of Long Island in the small town of Quogue. He was steeped in the world of medicine from an early age: His uncle and grandfather practiced dentistry and both of his parents are physicians. Growing up in this kind of environment, Dr. Patel learned first-hand how important quality, trustworthy care is. 

Dr. Utz earned his Bachelor’s degree in physiology and neurobiology at the University of Maryland, and went on to study dentistry at NYU College of Dentistry. After graduating, he completed a General Residency at Danbury Hospital. 

For Dr. Utz, serving patients and providing high-quality care is a privilege. He understands the complex relationship between oral health and overall well-being, and works to provide his patients with the kind of care that will allow them to thrive. His unique approach to care takes into account the details of his patients’ experience, which allows him to provide treatments that make a positive impact on their lives and oral health. 

When he’s not in the office, he can be found golfing, playing video games, or cheering on the Jets, Knicks, & Yankees.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

The Patient Experience

When you first walk through our doors, you’ll be greeted by our comfortable environment and our friendly office staff. You’ll be invited to sit down and relax as you fill out any new patient forms prior to your appointment. Once those are complete, we’ll invite you back into one of our operatories.

You’ll first receive a thorough cleaning, comprehensive exam, and any necessary radiographs. We will then sit down with you to discuss the results. If anything needs extra attention, we will discuss treatment recommendations and options. It is important to us that we take the time to address any questions or concerns you might have.

What to Bring

In order to help make your visit more efficient, we ask that you bring your ID, your insurance information, and any patient forms you’ve filled out prior to your appointment.
