Nathaniel Sasson, DDS

Very good dental service, and I am scared of dentist. I was relaxed and without pain.

Wowsa. Let me just say that I have never had an experience with a dentist where I actually felt somewhat depressed when the doctor told me to rinse for the final time. I had separation anxiety upon leaving Dr. Sasson.
What a great guy and brilliant clinician (and very funny). He was so thorough in his exploration, his description of what was happening inside my mouth, and his analysis of my x-​rays. He seemed to know me intimately through reading my teeth and gums: my creepy proclivities, as well as my routines.
He described a process that is happening inside my mouth that two other dentists have shied from explaining. The others mentioned concern about my roots and then just moved on with the conversation when I asked for explanation. Something like, «Yeah, whatevs, you’re gonna lose all of your teeth one day, but what were you saying about that little chip you want me to fix?» I was relieved to get the scoop finally from Dr. Sasson and possible remedies.
I would not hesitate to have much more extensive cosmetic work done by Dr. Sasson as my friends who go to his Park Slope clinic rave about his artistry. At Mermaid, I spoke with a man in the waiting room who had crowns installed by the doctor years earlier. He actually showed me the fine work, that’s how proud he was of his crowns.
His fees are extremely reasonable, especially when you consider how brilliant he is. Dr. Sasson’s support staff is also wonderful, all very congenial and efficient. Just a great experience. When in the world do you hear that about a dental appointment? Dr. Sasson accepts people without appointments at the Mermaid clinic (by appointment only in Park Slope). I think he’s on Mermaid three days a week, so call and find out when you can swing by.

The listing here is slight incorrect. Sasson is the last name.
Dr. Sasson is absolutely wonderful. I don’t have insurance, and he only charges $ 50 for 2 xrays, cleaning and exam. He’s the only person who touches my teeth, so I don’t even have to deal with a separate dental hygienist. He spends a lot of time with me, explaining cavities and gum disease and what happens to my teeth as they age. He even took out my cavity, without charging extra! While he’s taking out the cavity, he explains exactly what he’s doing, and gives me a mirror so I can see what happened to my tooth. A great doctor, and affordable for those without health insurance. I actually look forward to going to the dentist now.
