Arvind Philomin DDS

Arvind Philomin DDS is a dental practice on Fort Washington Avenue in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, New York. The practice provides general dentistry alongside several restorative and specialty services, caring for patients in upper Manhattan at one location.

General dentistry covers the routine examinations, cleanings, and preventive treatment that keep teeth and gums healthy. Beyond everyday care, the office provides a range of additional treatment. Dental implants replace missing teeth with a fixed restoration anchored in the jaw. Wisdom teeth removal addresses third molars that are impacted or crowding. Orthodontic treatment is available through Invisalign clear aligners, and the practice also treats functional concerns such as TMJ/TMD jaw pain.

Having general and specialty care in one place means several types of treatment can often be coordinated at a single practice rather than referred elsewhere.

Before agreeing to any treatment, patients are encouraged to ask the office for a clear, written treatment plan that sets out the recommended procedures, the reasons for them, the alternatives, and the full cost — and to confirm directly with their insurer how the work relates to their coverage and whether the practice is in network.

It is also reasonable to ask which items are required versus optional, and to take time to consider any financing or payment-plan offer before signing it.

A first visit generally begins with an examination and any necessary X-rays.

For any treatment beyond a routine cleaning, it is reasonable to take the treatment plan home, compare it against a second opinion if the recommended work is extensive, and return to the practice once the scope and the cost are clearly understood.

The Fort Washington Avenue location is convenient for Washington Heights and the surrounding upper Manhattan neighborhoods and is served by nearby subway lines.
