This is a mobile dentist office. I stumbled upon it one day when I was at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx. The mobile unit was parked outside of the hospital and someone handed me a flyer. Believe it or not, this mobile unit is quite advanced. It has all of the latest technology that you would see in a regular dentist office. They move quickly and they are thorough. The name of the dentist is Dr. Alba Maria-Diaz.
Here is the info from their flyer (I'm too lazy to scan it):
We offer dental services with the most advanced technology:
Oral exam, digital x-ray, cleaning, filling, crowns, veneer, complete denture, partial denture, valplast, bridge.
We accept most major insurances: Medicaid, Metroplus, Wellcare, Guardian, Fidelis, Melody, Met Life, Cigna, Aetna. For patients without dental insurance new patients can get an exam, x-ray, and cleaning for $75.

They accept appointments too. Its recommended that you call on holidays and in bad weather to confirm your appointment.
I didn't make an appointment and I had a cleaning done. While I was there, the dentist also noticed that I needed fillings and she did them on the spot. It was oh so convenient to just show up without having to wait weeks or months for an appointment. When I got there, there was one person ahead of me and they were almost finished so I didn't wait long at all.
The dentist is bilingual and speaks English and Spanish. She is VERY nice, professional, knowledgeable, and gentle. Her assistant is also nice and professional. I will definitely be back in 6 months. read more
