I have been a patient here for a few years, and every visit has consistently been an excellent experience. Most recently, I had a wisdom tooth extracted, and the process was completely painless and surprisingly smooth. Dr. Roytberg has incredible bedside manner. He is calm, patient, and extremely professional, and he took the time to explain everything clearly before and during the procedure. I felt comfortable, reassured, and genuinely cared for the entire time. The office itself is beautiful, modern, and impeccably clean, which immediately puts you at ease. Every single staff member is fantastic, from the front desk to the dental hygienists. Everyone is friendly, organized, attentive, and welcoming, and it truly feels like a team that cares about their patients. One of the things I appreciate most about Smiles on the Hudson is that they offer everything under one roof. Having access to orthodontists, oral surgeons, and comprehensive dental care in one place makes the entire experience incredibly convenient and seamless. It is clear that this practice prioritizes excellence, comfort, and long term patient relationships. I have always felt completely taken care of here. If you are looking for a dentist who is highly skilled, compassionate, and runs an exceptional practice, Dr. Roytberg and the entire team at Smiles on the Hudson are truly second to none.

    Hi. My name is Kate,…read moreand I hate dentists. I've always been part of the club of people who fear dentists and teeth cleaning. I mean, could those instruments BE any more scary? I'm sorry - is that a tiny pick-axe or medieval weapon in your hand? What did you say - Captain Hook lent you that? OMG - WHAT is that drilling noise? Is there a pothole in here? Everything is magnified 10x as the hygienist approaches me. Hold on a sec, I can't breathe. Okay - so, that was dramatic. But seriously, I know some of you feel me. I am very picky with my dentists because I need someone who understands, and who will treat my gums and teeth gently. I need to feel like the hygienist is not having fun torturing me. I need to feel safe. So why did this place get 5 stars? Because it erases (most of) my fears. Hands together now, and repeat after me - it's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay.

I arrived to a very modern and superbly clean office. The dental assistant greeted me by introducing herself and thanking me for choosing Mint Dental, which I found to be classy and a nice touch on building client rapport. I was walked to a clean and brightly lit room, which was inclusive of a tv. What was nice about that was, I could focus my attention on something as Dr. Kim did my teeth cleaning, The cleaning went well. We came up with a treatment plan to tackle a couple other things I had concerns about. So before walking out Appointment #2 was booked. I think this may be the start to a beautiful relationship.

Be aware that this office tends to schedule you with a different doc every appt. After greeting by the 3rd new doc, I realized that I had to speak up and demand to see the same doc on my follow-up appt, or it will never happen. After roughly $5k out of pocket (w dental insurance), my fillings are still sensitive and NOW I can't chew soft things like noodles properly. I used to have a little overbite, now I have a gap/only my wisdom teeth touch (see pics). How much more $ and pain to fix this???

    Great office. Both…read morereceptionist that work here are really nice and that always makes visiting any dentist better. They also seemed to remember me so I thought that was cool! Makes you feel like a valued customer. Also, I had Dr. Yidi. She is the best! She is so nice and really made me feel good about being at the dentist. I had my routine cleaning and she was very friendly and knowledgeable, she also showed me my tooth that had a cavity! Pretty neat. I never had a dentist show me that in the past. I really trust her and their team, they seem like honest people. I've had bad experiences with dentist, but really, I think this is a good place if you care about your teeth. If you want a dentist that's not just all about money, and they care about your teeth and you as a customer, I think this is a good place to go to. Of course, the dentist need to get paid also though, I'm not saying that this place will be cheap. However, you get what you pay for. Two visits so far and they've been good to me. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a dentist.

    For context, I haven't been to the dentist in 8 years. I smoke like crazy and am married to an…read moreorthodontist. So I am the poster child for mouth shame. We're talking, fighting a panic attack and tears just getting on the train to go to the office. So, if you're nervous about the judgement... I sooo get you. I made the appointment with Dr. Hay's office based on the recommendation of a friend who is an orthodontist. I asked her who she would go to for her own teeth and without pause recommended Smiles on Smiles. Making the appointment on Friday was very easy and they worked me in on Monday. When I got the office I was trembling no lie. The front desk staff immediately set me at ease with a smile, a coaster for my Starbucks and questions about my weekend. Honestly some of the nicest office staff I've ever encountered. I was brought back within 2 minutes by the hygienist who's name is pronounced like "win". She was so bubbly, friendly and relaxed it melted all of my stress away. She was so very accommodating and really took her time during my cleaning even explaining certain points that were very interesting to me and helpful to know. After her cleaning we had a brief conversation about best practices with my mouth and I could keep my teeth in better shape. I then had a chance to see Dr. Hsu who is so down to earth and a pleasure to chat with! He was so thorough and very collaborative in discussing treatment. I know more dental professionals than I care to admit but he absolutely blew me away with his approach. I am so unbelievably impressed with this office that I immediately purchased their in house dental plan as I cannot wait to return for future visits. Never in a million years would I ever expect it but I am actually, looking forward to my next dentist appointment! If you are considering a dental practitioner, take it from me and do yourself a favor go to Smiles on Smiles!

    We have been seeing Dr Hsu score several years. We even moved to NJ and still make the trek to see…read morehim since he's so good. He's always been very patient and explains things well. He sometimes also does the cleanings and is very gentle, as is Luis, one of the hygienists. We hadn't been in a while because I'm severely immunocompromised and get sick very easily. Since masking protocols have dropped most places, we were hesitant to make a visit. I was happy to find that Dr Hsu is still masking. He cleaned and examined my wife's teeth and wore an n95. The hygienist that cleaned my teeth, Luis, put a second mask on over his surgical mask when I said I was immunocompromised (I couldn't tell what it was...I can't see well without my glasses). He also pointed out the location of the air purifiers they have running in all the examination rooms and we saw one in the lobby as well. All other staff were wearing masks. Some surgical, others looked to be kn95 or n95. We also received a text before hand asking people to wear a mask and the patients we saw come in were abiding by that. They also have half walls for the exam rooms and the doors don't close, which is good for air quality/flow. My highest aranet reading was 883, when I was in the exam room. If you're not familiar with this tech, basically this number tells you how much "backwash breath" is in the air. Anything below 1000 means the room has pretty good/clear air filtration (as a comparison, it's usually a 500-600 reading outside). All in all, I was happy (but not surprised! At the added layers of protection the office has continued to observe. The staff, hygienists and dentists are all kind, competent and patient humans. I would highly recommend this office.

    Dr. Kim is great, but the rest of the office needs some help…read more The head of the practice announced my pregnancy to the entire front office and people sitting in reception, despite the fact that I had told him I was high risk and it was very early. "Patient is pregnant and isnt getting xrays." Nice and loud so everyone could hear. I almost stopped coming after that. I was furious but decided to give them another chance. Today I went in for a crown appt that I had set 6 months ago. They didnt have the same estimate sheet that I was givin to go home with and instead of my crown being covered, they now said it would cost about 1k. I wasnt in pain and the only reason I set it up was preventative, and because I had been told it would be covered. I understand if they get things wrong. Insurance is complicated, but we confirmed the appt over a week prior and spoke on the phone the day before and never did they mention any of it. Instead they pulled me aside to talk once I had already booked a sitter to watch my son and rescheduled my clients. This could have been discussed in advance. I left without any work done and I'll be finding a new dentist now.

The receptionist was very polite and professional. I was introduced to Dr. Seo as the treating dentist. I was happy to see that this office had invested in modern technology to make this experience less stressful. Dr. Seo was very funny and had a very funny yet professional personality. Getting down to business, Dr. Seo found a cavity and showed me the cavity clearly visible on the x-ray. He clearly explained the treatment involved and relieved all worries. I was very happy with the dental procedure I experienced and found the staff and Dr. Seo super friendly and professional. I believe I found my future dentist.

They were really pushy when I got xrays that showed I had "10 cavities", I was very skeptical since my last visit elsewhere i had no issues and asked for an explanation but they kept referring to other Drs. , who all weren't clear. Kept pushing to reschedule multiple days to have them all filled but when i refused they somehow had a spot that same hour to get one filled. I stayed and wasn't too thrilled with the results. After this i've gotten endless calls and emails to return (i will never). End of story i have gone to a new dentist who gave me the reassurance with xrays i actually had no cavities. These people are hungry to get money out of clients especially if you have a good insurance STAY AWAY!

She explained the xrays to me and was very tentative. The only thing I didn't like really was that they don't give you goodie bags with a new toothbrush , floss, mouthwash, all that Jazz unlike my other dentist. The hospitality was awesome and they welcomed me even with me using a Groupon . I have witnessed a lot of Groupon hating businesses but they were very welcoming
