Amari Dentistry

After my FIFTH visit to see Dr. Ali, I finally need to testify! She and her co-​worker Fatima are amazing, kind, non-​judgmental, and awesome!
I had gone a quarter-​century without seeing a dentist. Finally, my mouth was in too much discomfort to continue this questionable streak, and on a recommendation, I called Dr. Ali. Absolutely the right decision! She did an amazingly thorough initial cleaning and assessment, with x-​rays, and we talked about a good way to approach the situation in my mouth. We divided it up into quarters, and now, about two months after my first visit, I’ve got a pain-​free and nice-​looking set of choppers again!
She’s also very hip and not overly serious (except when doing the work), has interesting art to look at while getting worked on, and gave me my choice of music to listen to (my choice, Coltrane and Ellington, was pretty far from her usual chill electronica, but she put up with it!). And she wants you to understand what’s going on in your mouth, so is thorough about explaining things.
I totally recommend seeing Dr. Ali for dental work, especially if you’ve neglected tooth care for a while and need to set things right again. Total pro.

I couldn’t be happier with my visit. I went to see Dr. Ali last week for a bi-​annual cleaning. The building is in a great location. I entered the waiting area and letting them know I was there to see Dr. Ali and was ushered to the office right away with no wait. Dr. Ali usually has some nice music playing and since I had been there before she remembered the type of music I like and some alternative-​rock was playing through the Bluetooth speaker. The chair and surrounding area are noticeably super clean and new. Her assistant took some new X-​Rays and had them displayed in front of me on a screen literally seconds after she took them. Dr. Ali came in and welcomed warmly and to make extra sure I was comfy in the chair offered me some tissues for behind my head since I’m bald and my head sticks to the leather. Nice touch! We talked over the X-​rays and I had no cavities woohoo! During the cleaning Dr. Ali made sure to continually check on me to make sure I was comfortable. She uses this neat beware water thing that blasts the teeth clean. Once my teeth were nice and sharp she gave me some flavor options for my fluoride treatment (I chose cinnamon). During the visit Dr. Ali offered me some advice about how to better take care of my teeth and educated me in a way that didn’t make me feel like she was speaking to a child or scolding me, thank goodness! I was all done in no time and was on my way back to work. I highly recommend Amari Dentistry! You won’t see anyone else after Dr. Noreen Ali. It’s all about the details.

I wish I could give Dr. Ali more stars because I would. She is, by far, the best dentist I have ever been to. There is so much to say so I will make bullet points:
— She is super smart, patient with explanations of what is happening in your mouth and seeks to want to educate you about your options so you can make informed decisions.
–Her interactions with you are on point. She does not overbook so you are not rushed in and rushed out. She sits there, talks to you, is genuinely interested in you and does not bury her nose in your chart as she is listening. Her rapport with patients is great. I had a tailbone injury when I saw her today so she stopped multiple times to give me time to stretch and move. There was no feeling that she was irked in any way about spending so much time with her patients.
–I do not like needles but today was the least stressful of any trip to the dentist. I got numbing gel on my gums, a tiny needle to numb up and then, the other ones one that one kicked in. It is a patient driven approach that means 5 more minutes for her but gains a long term patient.
–Her office is small, neat, clean and well organized. The machines and chair are new and there is no confusion that I have seen at other offices (people cannot find charts, equipment).
–She works with you to figure out how you can pay for the services and deals well with insurance.
–Her adept and dexterous hygienist, Fatima, essentially, a virtuoso with the suction straw!
–Misc: great music playing, paid by card, emailed receipt, central part of town. Dr. Ali is funny and kind. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a dentist.
She is the BEST.

Dr. Ali ensures that her patients are not only healthy, but happy. She is both an artist and a scientist, which comes through in her patient care and her work. Few dentists are willing to spend the one-​on-​one time that she devotes to her patients, and the results speak for themselves.

Dr. Ali is nothing short of amazing! I was recommended to her by a friend and was very hesitant to use anyone other than the dentist I had been going to for 10 years. My smile is very important to me so when the dental work between my two front teeth chipped, I was devastated. I never write reviews but Dr. Ali exceed my expectations and then some so I wanted to share my experience. Turns out, my prior dentist wasn’t that great and my smile had so much more potential as my teeth look better than ever! All in all, Dr. Ali was very professional, her staff is super friendly and accommodating and the office is in a great location close to the subway. Do yourself a favor and get a new dentist!

Dr. Noreen Ali is a incredible dentist. She has a lovely and friendly disposition. I immediately felt comfortable and that I was in good hands.
During my cleaning she discovered that I still has some old bonding on a few of my teeth. The bonding had been there since I had braces over 20 years ago. She successfully removed all of that gook from my teeth. Thank goodness she didn’t leave it like all the other lazy dentists I have seen over the years. She cleaned my teeth and fixed a small cavity. I did need a little Novacaine and she was very light and painlessly administered it.
A few weeks later I came back to have my front tooth fixed. It has never looked better. In fact my smile has never been better.
My experience has been nothing less than wonderful. And without a doubt recommend Dr. Ali for your dental needs.

I wrote my last review while I was still living in New York full-time.Dr. Noreen may be the only dentist or doctor of any specialty who makes so much time for her patients whenever you need her. She has overseen my Invisalign process for nearly two years and she continues to show herself as quite possibly the most caring and punctual professional in the history of New York, or at least Midtown. Dental procedures can be daunting, there’s a lot to know, and there’s a lot that you (the patient) don’t necessarily know. Working with Noreen has put my mind at ease, she has been there every step of the way for me, and for that I’m truly grateful.

Dr. Ali is great and always so accommodating with my schedule! A co-​worker recommended me to her and now a handful of us from the office see her. I always feel informed of what’s happening during my visit and she never pushes for unnecessary procedures. She is also so friendly! I would give her 6 stars if I could!

I recently saw Dr. Noreen Ali after a raving review from a colleague.
Let me say, my visit was unlike any dental visit in the past. And I’ve had very good dentists.
Dr. Ali is by far the most educated and articulate doctor I’ve seen and yet it felt more like a social visit with excellent music and no feeling of being rushed.
Dr. Ali looked at my mouth and X-​rays and had so much information to share. She had very specific recommendations that MADE SENSE, not just cents, lots of them.
She was able to enroll me in my care and I’m really looking forward to the big changes we have planned for my mouth.
I recommend seeing her even if you have a dentist. Get another perspective. She’s amazing!

Amazing dentist. friendly, personable and knowledgable. 5 STARS ;)!!

Such a wonderful and caring dentist! NEW YORK’S NO 1 DENTIST! Beautiful and immaculate dental rooms. Was referred by a friend and we both really appreciate Noreen’s pursuit of excellence in dentistry. Book yourself in for her incredibly thorough clean today!

Having been without a visit to a dentist in over 4 years I was in need of an emergency visit! The experience was one of the best and most comforting visits one could ever hope for when visiting a dentist after you cracked a tooth. Dr Ali was professional, passionate and accommodating to say the least. Subsequently I have now had a couple of visits and would recommend her without a shadow of doubt.

I am beyond thrilled with Dr Ali’s services. I had large, uneven spaces on my bottom teeth. She flawless corrected this — in under 2hours!
I have been meaning to get this taken care of for a while/​but just have not had the time until now.
Other dental professionals told me I had to spend ten thousand and hours in the chair. Dr Ali was able to do this without anesthesia and it makes me look like a new person for just hundreds.
Having this correction has boosted my confidence both personally and professionally. My only regret is not finding her sooner. Thank You!

I’ve been going to Dr. Ali for about 7 years now. When I first came to see her my teeth were a mess, the result of poor brushing technique and lack of flossing during those young naïve years when I didn’t get the importance of proper dental hygiene.
But she cleaned me up, replaced my old silver fillings, AND filled new cavities with beautiful tooth-​colored porcelain fillings.
Ever since then she has continued to take great care of my teeth (and my husband’s); at every visit she is very thorough in her cleanings and my teeth feel a bit strange after… because they are so clean! She always seems to have the best state of the art equipment on hand, and the office is clean as well as convenient for me, in midtown.
Dr. Ali is extremely personable and never rushing to get through my appointments. She is one of those docs who seem to truly enjoy what she does and takes great pride in her good work.

I chipped my front tooth a few years ago and another dentist shaved it down, which left my two front teeth noticeably uneven. While this bothered me for a long time, I didn’t do anything about it until I recently chipped the longer tooth.
I made an appointment with Dr. Ali to see what my options were, and she was great. She really took the time to evaluate my situation and was clear and concise regarding what my options were, as well what she felt the best course of action was.
She even offered to fix my teeth right on the spot, without having to come back. Unfortunately, I did not have time due to work. But, I made an appointment to go back to her to have both teeth fixed and I am very much looking forward to getting this resolved!

Dr. Noreen is GREAT! You are in the best care NYC has to offer.
She is a true professional in both her experience and most of all making her patients feel as comfortable as possible. She will take the time to explain all the science to you in a way that you will understand and give you options on what should be done. She truly has the patients’ best interest in mind. Thank you!

Noreen Ali is a true artist. I have been living in NYC full time now for about a year and a half, and needed some cosmetic work done. I serendipitously found Dr. Noreen Ali through friends who had given her spectacular reviews, and it was the best thing to ever happen to my teeth.
Beyond her stellar technical work, I felt truly nurtured as a patient. She deeply cares about every single detail of your vision for your teeth, and executes with absolute care. She has an obsession with perfection– the ultimate gift to a patient looking for flawless results.
It is rare that I have found someone who listens to what I want, and has the creative and technical eye and capacity to create exactly what I am looking for. And, beyond the cosmetic work I needed, as a dentist doing routine cleaning, she was extremely thorough and attentive to maintaining the health of my teeth. She took time to not only clean, but also advise how I may keep my teeth and mouth in the best shape possible, looking ahead not just focusing on the time we had in her chair.
Overall, I feel grateful for her work and her attention to my teeth and am lucky to have someone so masterful in their art in charge of my smile.

The best experience! I grew up with dentists for my braces, and other oral needs… But my goodness!!! I have never been educated this much and taken cared for as intensive as this! I love it!!!

I rate this 3 ½ stars. I really appreciated the extra time taken to review everything that was being done, including the science and anatomy behind the condition — for example how the pH of the saliva can change with ones diet and lack of sleep which leaves the mouth unprotected and can lead to decay and possibly gum disease.
I came in for a check-​up and cleaning and was not interested in going for the offered teeth whitening or teeth shaving (to even out my bite) because, as I had stated more than once, my alignment constantly changed depending on the severity of muscle tension/​spasticity of my jaw.

Amari Dentistry is a FIVE star practice !!! Dr. Noreen Ali is truly amazing !!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you ! You are a lifesaver ! Not only are you a professional, but you are a patient and skilled artist ! You took the time out of your weekend for an emergency visit, on a Sunday, (for a broken tooth) and made me confident enough to walk out of the door with a smile. Painless and service with a smile. Thank you again. If you want quality service, in a beautiful environment Amari Dentistry is the place in NYC.
Sincerely,
(A smiling patient)
