Frequently Asked Questions About Tribeca Advanced Dentistry

Learn about our dental team, treatment options, on-site laboratory, and planning your care at Tribeca Advanced Dentistry in Downtown Manhattan.

What dental services does Tribeca Advanced Dentistry provide?

Tribeca Advanced Dentistry provides general, preventive, cosmetic, restorative, and specialty dental care for adults and children. Our services range from examinations, cleanings, and fillings to porcelain veneers, crowns, dental implants, and full-mouth reconstruction.

Our dental team also provides pediatric dentistry, root canal treatment, periodontal care, oral surgery, and Invisalign. Having several specialties in one practice helps us coordinate care when treatment involves more than one clinician.

What does Dr. Olga Malkin specialize in?

Dr. Olga Malkin is a prosthodontist whose practice focuses on dental implants, porcelain veneers, crowns, smile makeovers, and full-mouth reconstruction. Her training includes both advanced restorative dentistry and surgical implant placement.

She treats patients at Tribeca Advanced Dentistry, located at 23 Warren Street, Suite 10, in Tribeca, Manhattan.

What is a prosthodontist, and how is this different from a cosmetic dentist?

A prosthodontist is a dental specialist trained to restore damaged teeth and replace missing teeth, considering appearance, bite, and function together.

Dr. Malkin completed a three-year prosthodontics residency at the UCLA-affiliated West Los Angeles VA Hospital after earning her dental degree. This additional training is particularly relevant to complex restorations, implant treatment, and full-mouth reconstruction.

“Cosmetic dentistry” describes treatments that improve a smile’s appearance; it is not a separate recognized dental specialty. Both general dentists and specialists may provide cosmetic treatment.

Who provides veneers, crowns, and smile makeovers at your practice?

Dr. Malkin provides porcelain veneers, porcelain and zirconia crowns, and smile makeovers, including complex cases involving multiple teeth or existing restorations.

Our general dentists also provide restorative care. The clinician involved depends on your needs and the proposed treatment. When several specialties are needed, our team coordinates their roles within your treatment plan.

Do you have an on-site dental laboratory?

Yes. Tribeca Advanced Dentistry has a full on-site dental laboratory within our Manhattan office, where we design and manufacture crowns, veneers, and bridges.

Our digital workflow includes milling and 3D printing, with the fabrication method selected for the restoration and material. Having the laboratory on site allows our clinicians and laboratory team to work closely on the fit, shape, shade, and appearance of your restorations.

Visit our dental laboratory page to see the equipment and watch our team explain how restorations are designed and made.

What happens during a smile makeover consultation?

A smile makeover consultation is an opportunity to discuss what you would like to change and understand your options. We typically allow about an hour to review your concerns, assess your teeth and oral health, take appropriate diagnostic images, and answer questions.

Your treatment plan outlines the proposed procedures, their sequence, and estimated costs. Depending on your needs, treatment may involve veneers, crowns, whitening, Invisalign, implants, or a combination of services. We encourage you to ask about alternatives and take time to consider your options.

Do you offer All-on-4 and Teeth-in-a-Day?

Yes. We provide All-on-4 dental implants and Teeth-in-a-Day treatment.

All-on-4 uses four implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. Teeth-in-a-Day describes an approach in which suitable patients receive a fixed provisional restoration on the day of implant surgery. Depending on the treatment plan, this may involve four or more implants.

Same-day teeth are generally provisional restorations used during healing. Further appointments are needed to assess healing and create the final restoration. Suitability requires an examination, appropriate imaging, and a review of your medical and dental history.

How do your specialists work together on complex treatment?

For complex restorative cases, Dr. Malkin develops the overall restorative plan and coordinates with other clinicians as needed.

A periodontist may address gum health and supporting tissues, an oral surgeon may provide surgical care, and an endodontist may treat teeth that require root canal therapy. Our general dentists and hygienists also contribute to ongoing care. The combination of specialists depends on your individual treatment needs.

What materials and technology do you use?

Our practice uses Nobel Biocare dental implants and offers porcelain and zirconia restorations. We also use digital treatment planning, 3D dental imaging, guided implant surgery when appropriate, and milling and 3D printing in our on-site laboratory.

The materials and techniques used in your treatment depend on your oral health, the type of restoration, and your treatment goals. During planning, you can ask which options are being recommended and why.

Do you accept dental insurance, and how can I check my coverage?

We work with many major PPO dental insurance plans. Network participation can vary by the specific plan and the dentist you wish to see, so please confirm these details with our office before your appointment.

When you contact us, have your insurance card, plan information, and preferred clinician’s name available. Coverage for a particular procedure depends on your policy, benefits, and insurer’s determination. You can find more information on our insurance and financing page.

How much will my treatment cost?

Treatment costs depend on the procedures involved, the number of teeth being treated, materials, and the complexity of your care. Our office can provide price ranges for many straightforward services. More involved treatment usually requires a consultation and diagnostic records before we can prepare a detailed estimate.

Your treatment plan explains the proposed care and associated costs. For implant treatment, ask how the estimate covers surgery, provisional teeth, and the final restoration so you understand the full course of treatment.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. We work with third-party financing providers to help eligible patients spread treatment costs over time. Available terms and approval requirements depend on the provider.

Please visit our financing page or contact our office to discuss the available options.

What if I have concerns about my results?

Please contact us so we can assess your concerns. Complex restorative and aesthetic treatment may involve follow-up appointments and adjustments to the bite, fit, or appearance of restorations.

We will review your concerns with you and explain the next steps, including which adjustments are included in your agreed treatment plan.
