Hi there! I am Dr. Lana
I am a Pediatric Dentist based in New York City.
In this digital age there is certainly no shortage of information out there... but searching through mommy facebook groups and google for advice and information can be daunting!
Parents want the best for their children, and I would like to help bring that science-based information from trusted sources straight to moms and dads everywhere. Whenever possible I also prefer dental products that are more natural and environmentally friendly.
I believe that all children should have the opportunity to be at their best dental health.
Through education and prevention, this can be achieved.

Routine Exams
To ensure gum health, proper teeth development and help prevent cavities, exams should be done every 6 months.
Dental Hygiene
Cleanings should be done every 6 months for healthy teeth and gums.
Dental Fillings
When cavities are found, your child may need fillings on baby or adult teeth. Our office is amalgam-free (a mercury containing filling material).
Pediatric Crowns
When cavities are larger, a crown can help maintain the tooth for a longer period of time. We offer same day crown placement.
Emergency Dentistry
When falls or accidents happen, know where to turn to for broken or damaged teeth.

Happy Clients
"She did a wonderful job on my daughter (3 years old) who suffered from a chipped tooth. She did a wonderful job on my daughters tooth, as well as restored her confidence. Not all heroes wear capes. Very happy with my experience here."
"Cooking in Queens Kitchen"
"Once my daughter's pediatric dentist moved out of state I was searching for a pediatric dentist that would be just as patient, gentle, attentive, friendly, and caring. Dr. Lana is all the words I just described. My daughter was terrified due to a previous negative experience and Dr. Lana was able to get her to relax and calm down. I would definitely recommend..."
