Dr. Dean Vafiadis DDS

DZ Stone a year ago

Dr. Dean Vafiadis is the prosthodontist I've been waiting for all my life--literally. With my front teeth broken in a car accident as a teen, over the years I've lived with crowns that were too small or after one broke, a patchwork quilt of unmatched caps. It was no wonder nothing could make me smile. Now 50+ years later I have new crowns by Dr. Dean, and I couldn't be happier or smiling more widely. He not only gets the bite right but he is an artist; this is truly an aesthetic reconstruction. (A side benefit: friends say I look ten years younger:)

Dr. Dean is a talented artist of teeth when it comes to the bridge he made for me. I had a very difficult missing front tooth since I was a child. When I met with Dr. Dean I had gone through multiple bone fillings in my gums before the bridge was made and put in my mouth. He was gentle with the needle injection every time. He was very kind to me when I had anxiety over the whole situation while sitting in the chair. I had a difficult bite that he was able to craft a bridge to look perfect. I recommend Dr. Dean Valfiadis to anyone who needs an expert in this matter of your front teeth. All have have gotten since is compliments about my smile. Thanks Dr. D :-)

Doctor dean is the most amazing dentist you could find in the city. I’ve known him for 10 years and he takes an exceptional care of my teeth. He also did a major teeth restoration for my mother, and she was very satisfied with the outcome to say the least.

Dr. Dean is not only a highly skilled dental practitioner but also an incredible educator. He has a way of breaking down complex concepts to make them easy to understand and apply. As a dentist myself I have learned a tremendous amount from him and would highly recommend his courses.

I am a patient who came from a past traumatic and expensive dental procedure (including caps and veneers) that left my teeth far too white and unhealthy. I spent 3 months interviewing new dentists for what would be the most critical and potentially most expensive procedures I would ever have and the stakes were high. Enter New York Smile Institute. Out of the four New York City doctors I interviewed this office had the best staff who followed me through the entire procedure (Including one who eventually retired to Florida and yet STILL contacted me months later to congratulate me on the procedures being completed!). Their customer service goes beyond the office, if there's any questions they will be happy to answer via e-mail or phone and when you arrive they know all the details required from your insurance, finances and personal preferences to have me feel like I was important. Now for the procedures! It's hard not to cry when I share this as Dr. Dean Vafiadis has the deserved confidence of a master craftsman. Minimal pain, minimal time in the chair AND he was working with an unusual case of redoing another dentists shoddy job plus my bite and other jaw issues came in to

Everybody at the Smile Institute is very friendly and helpful, especially Gabriella. I have been a patient of Dr. Dean's for over 15 years and I believe he is a genius at making, and remaking, crooked, ugly teeth into a beautiful smile as he has done for me. He stays up on all the latest technology and then applies his own magic. He takes great pride in his work and is more than willing to explain in detail what he is doing to your teeth and why. This, along with his sense of humor and straight forward personality, I greatly appreciate. Tom Webber
