Convenient Access from Lincoln Square
Lincoln Square ends a few blocks below our door, which puts Columbus Park Dental within easy reach for anyone who wants a dentist near Lincoln Square without leaving the West Side. The office is on West 72nd Street on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Step off the 1 at 66 St-Lincoln Center and the walk to our block takes about 9 minutes. Many neighbors can simply walk over after rehearsal, class or a morning in the park.
Drivers starting at Damrosch Park, on Amsterdam Avenue at West 62nd Street, take West 62nd Street to Amsterdam Avenue, head north on Amsterdam to West 72nd Street and turn east. That is roughly 0.8 miles and about a 3-minute drive outside rush hour, which can stretch it noticeably. Subway riders can also stay on the 1 for a single stop to 72 St on Broadway, where the station house sits beside Verdi Square, then walk about 6 minutes east. Both 66 St-Lincoln Center and 72 St on Broadway have elevators, according to the MTA.
Walkers who head up Columbus Avenue pass Richard Tucker Square, where Broadway crosses Columbus at West 66th Street. You will find us at 40 W 72nd St Ste B, between Columbus Avenue and Central Park West, with Strawberry Fields just inside the park entrance at the end of the block. Open the office pin on Google Maps before you set out. We also welcome patients from nearby Hell's Kitchen and Lenox Hill.
Neighbors on the Same Side of the Park
Lincoln Square and our office share more than a short walk. Both sit in ZIP code 10023 and in Manhattan Community District 7, part of Manhattan (New York County). The name itself dates to 1906, when the New York City Board of Aldermen gave it to the area, and it has stuck through more than a century of change.
Today the neighborhood centers on Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, a 16.3-acre campus between West 62nd and 66th Streets. Its resident companies include the Metropolitan Opera, the New York Philharmonic, New York City Ballet and the Juilliard School, while LaGuardia High School next door admits students by audition for music, art and the performing arts. That mix brings dancers, singers, stagehands, teachers and teenagers into the same few blocks every day.
Lincoln Square is a dense apartment neighborhood around Lincoln Center, and many calendars here rarely look like a standard office week. Our hours try to meet that. Tuesdays and Fridays open at 8:00 AM, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9:00 AM, and Mondays run from 10:00 AM until 6:00 PM. A cleaning can slot in before a matinee call or after a long day of classes.
The street grid here is easy to learn. Broadway cuts diagonally through the neighborhood, crossing Columbus Avenue at West 66th Street and Amsterdam Avenue at West 72nd Street. Amsterdam carries traffic north and Columbus carries it south, which is why drivers from Lincoln Square come up Amsterdam to reach us. Damrosch Park, the 2.4-acre NYC Parks space at the south end of the Lincoln Center campus, is named for the Damrosch family of musicians and makes a handy meeting point.
Smile Care for a Neighborhood That Performs for a Living
For singers, actors and dancers, teeth are part of the job. A chipped front tooth before an audition or a stained smile under stage lights can feel urgent in a way it might not elsewhere. Our general and cosmetic dentists handle both everyday checkups and appearance-focused work, so Lincoln Square performers do not have to split their care between two offices.
Small, conservative repairs are often the first conversation. For a worn edge or a minor chip, our team may suggest minimally invasive ceramic restorations, which aim to keep as much natural tooth as possible. Larger changes, such as reshaping several front teeth, start with a planning visit. New patients can book a Free Cosmetics & Smile Makeover Consultation to talk through options before committing to anything.
Whitening is the quickest upgrade we offer. The $250 teeth whitening special, regularly $800, is available to new and existing patients as an add-on to an exam and cleaning visit, while supplies last. The whitening itself takes about 15 minutes in the chair, so it fits into the same appointment rather than a separate trip.
Students at LaGuardia and Juilliard keep packed schedules too. Keeping up with cleanings close to campus helps catch a small problem before it turns into an emergency during a busy performance season. Younger students can also see the visiting pediatric dentist, who sees children at our office.
Services for Anyone Seeking a Dentist Near Lincoln Square
Cosmetic Dentistry
Whitening, veneers and smile design for patients who spend their days in front of an audience. Lincoln Square performers can plan changes around a production schedule instead of rushing them.
Cleanings & Exams
Routine visits catch small cavities and gum changes early. For Lincoln Square residents the office is a short walk up Columbus Avenue, so a checkup can fit between classes or before a call time.
Veneers & Crowns
Veneers change the shape and shade of front teeth, while crowns protect teeth weakened by large fillings or cracks. Our dentists explain which approach suits each tooth.
Invisalign®
Clear aligners straighten teeth without brackets, a discreet option for people who work on stage. New patients without insurance can start with a Free Invisalign® Consultation.
Emergency Dental Care
A cracked tooth or sudden pain should not wait until after closing night. For dental emergencies, we strive to fit you into our schedule as quickly as we can.

We accept all major PPOs, and our insurance team handles the claims and gives you a cost breakdown before treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Columbus Park Dental from Lincoln Square, and how do I get there?
From Damrosch Park it is about 0.8 miles, roughly a 3-minute drive, and the walk from the 66 St-Lincoln Center station takes about 9 minutes. Drivers go north on Amsterdam Avenue and turn east on West 72nd Street. Anyone who wants a dentist near Lincoln Square can also ride the 1 one stop to 72 St and walk about 6 minutes.
Can I add teeth whitening to my cleaning appointment?
Yes. Our $250 whitening special, regularly $800, is offered as an add-on to an exam and cleaning visit for new and existing patients, while supplies last. The in-office treatment takes about 15 minutes in the chair, so you can book both together. Mention it when you schedule so the team reserves enough time.
Do the subway stations near your office have elevators?
Two of them do. The MTA lists elevators at 72 St on Broadway, served by the 1, 2 and 3, and at 66 St-Lincoln Center on the 1. The 72 St station at Central Park West, served by the C and the B on weekdays, is not listed as accessible. From the Broadway station the walk to our office is about 6 minutes.
How do you fix a chipped front tooth?
Most chipped front teeth can be repaired with a tooth-colored restoration, a veneer or a crown. Small chips often need only a conservative ceramic repair, while larger breaks may call for more coverage. The right choice depends on how much tooth is missing, which our dentists confirm with an exam and x-rays before recommending anything.
Is there a charge for a smile makeover consultation?
No, not for new patients. The Free Cosmetics & Smile Makeover Consultation lets you discuss whitening, veneers, crowns or aligners with our team and see what a plan would involve. Keep in mind that insurance does not cover cosmetic procedures, so we review costs and Sunbit financing options with you before any work begins.
