Services
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services transform smiles through procedures like veneers, teeth whitening, and Invisalign. We address discoloration, misalignment, and structural imperfections to boost confidence and oral health. Patients achieve natural-looking results that enhance personal and professional interactions while maintaining functional bite alignment.
Dental Implants
Dental implants restore missing teeth with permanent, natural-feeling solutions. Using titanium posts integrated into the jawbone, we provide single-tooth replacements or full-arch solutions like All-on-4. Implants preserve bone density and allow normal eating and speaking, offering lifelong durability with proper care.
All-On-4 Implant Dentures
All-on-4 replaces entire dental arches using four strategically placed implants. This technique avoids bone grafting in most cases, enabling same-day tooth replacement. Patients receive fixed prosthetics that mimic natural teeth function and aesthetics, improving comfort and quality of life compared to traditional dentures.
Gum Disease Treatment
We treat gum disease through scaling, root planing, and advanced therapies to eliminate infection. Early intervention prevents tooth loss and reduces systemic health risks like heart disease. Personalized care plans focus on restoring gum health and maintaining long-term oral wellness through education and preventive strategies.
Bad Breath Treatment
Chronic bad breath is addressed by identifying root causes such as gum disease or dry mouth. Targeted treatments include bacterial reduction therapies, saliva stimulation techniques, and implant-specific care. Patients regain confidence through lasting freshness achieved via comprehensive oral health management.

I have really appreciated the support and care I received at Appolon. I have had issues with cavities under fillings for years and had no idea what I was getting wrong until I came to Dr. Appolon and discovered that clenching my teeth was the problem. Learning to care for my teeth better and get the necessary fillings was a much easier process with the practice focus on health and addressing and alleviating pain.

Ive been a patient of Dr. Appolon for over 10 years, and I couldnt be more grateful to have her as my dentist. She was truly excellent throughout my recent porcelain overlay processpatient, attentive, and completely understanding of the aesthetic I was going for. She was also flexible with her schedule to accommodate my needs, which I really appreciated. Her entire staff is warm and professional, and I always feel well cared for. I am 100% satisfied with both the service and my smile, and I would absolutely recommend Dr. Appolon for both dental and cosmetic work!

I've been to a lot of dentists/oral care specialists in my life- from moving states, getting braces, teeth pulled and so on. Dr. Appolon is the best of them all. She took her time to answer all my questions and then some. I went in for an exam, and she's beyond gentle and thorough. I didn't even realize she was poking around in my mouth at one point! If you get anxiety about going to the dentist, or think you have a problem that needs some more TLC, Dr. Appolon is the place to go.

I had an appointment today with Dr. Appolon and it was by far the most professional and extensive experience I've ever had. Coming from the inconsistent service of Montefiore Dental to here was such a breath of fresh air that I haven't felt with other practices. The staff greeted me the moment I walked in and knew who I was which was so awesome. I'm definitely looking forward to being a regular client here.

! BEWARE COMPLETE FRUAD! Do NOT come here if you are looking for a good Dentist. Dr. Appolon is a liar and complete FRUAD. She told me I had 10 cavities, gum disease, and had to get a root canal. She told me I had to pay $1,100 to get each teeth fixed, along with $ 2,500 treatment for gum disease. Something just didn't seem right about her diagnosis and ridiculous prices for the treatments. I asked on many occasions to send me information regarding my medical findings so I can look over it.
The Doctor REFUSED to provide me with my medical findings. Failure to provide me with a copy of my health information is AGAINST THE LAW ( Under HIPAA Doctors are REQUIRED to provide patients with a copy of health information when requested). I will be reporting this I decided to NOT schedule any more appointments with this fraudulent Dentist. I found a Professional Dentist that examined my mouth and concluded that I only had 3 cavities and did not have gum disease, and did not need a root canal. I ended up only being charged $ 260.20 to fill three cavities.

My experience with Appolon Dental Group was amazing. The office is immaculate, the staff is very warm and friendly. You don't feel like just another patient, they make it very personal. The doctors are very detailed with every intimate detail of what is going on with you and how they will proceed with the planned treatment/procedure. If you're feeling anxious in anyway shape or form, they have some very well thought out remedies to help soothe you and put you at ease as the doctors skillfully and masterfully work on you. Hands down this is the best dental group I've ever experienced and I'd recommend them to anyone I know.

Dr Appolon and her staff are the most thoughtful and caring group of Dental professionals I have ever met. I have had a regular dentist for various reasons since I was six years old ( Im 45- Do the math) and I have never had a dentist who took such a comprehensive approach. Dr Appolon really cares that her patients are comfortable and understand the process. I cant say enough good things about my experience.

I have been a patient of the Appolon Dental Group for 5+ years now and the experience has been really terrific. Dr Appolon has been instrumental in helping me improve my dental hygiene through the use of additional flossing / an electric toothbrush / a perio tray. The occasional tooth decay was treated with unparalleled care. Dr Appolon went above and beyond to make the procedure painless offering appropriate local anesthesia, shade glasses, relaxing music and a pain relief patch. I recommend Dr Appolon wholeheartedly - 5 stars!

I am usually not a fan of going the dentist, but I will say I actually was looking forward to my next appointment when I went here. -The office is bright and inviting. Often some offices look very dim and drab. - The staff was always welcoming. - Dr. Appolon was very nice, through, knowledgeable, and understanding of my apprehension related to dental procedures. - When it was time for my procedure to be done, I felt like my comfort was a top priority to Dr. Appolon.
She continued to make sure that I was comfortable throughout the procedure. To me that is important because being comfortable in the beginning of a procedure doesn't always guarantee that it will stay that way throughout the procedure. - I feel that Dr. Appolon fully understands that many people who are fearful of going to the dentist and she has done a great job providing patients with cutting edge methods and technology to help them relax. - I think that she is a great dentist and I would definitely recommend this practice to others. I'm often recommending them to the people around me.

I've had the unfortunate pleasure of needing a lot of dental work. After moving to NYC I was in need of a new dentist and I specifically sought out a black organization as a part of my black healthcare network. I found Dr. Appolon and couldn't be happier with her care. Her all-women led office is staffed with professionals who provide above and beyond service and hospitality. I'm used to the pain that comes with dental procedures and they made it undeniably the best experience with minimal discomfort to date. I would highly recommend Dr. Appolon and her team. I'm truly spoiled now because of them.

This was my first time visiting Dr. Appolon's office and I was totally impressed. I was going to another dentist where everything was hectic and I felt like a number not a patient. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable, which can also be unusual in NY. Dr. Appolon was thorough in her questions and examine. Her level of care and recommendations were unlike anything I've received before.
The views can't be beat. If you have to go to the dentist, you might as well enjoy the experience with lots of windows and a view onto Carnegie Hall, Central Park and 7th Ave. I strongly recommend Dr. Appolon.

The doctor does not have good bedside manners. She spent an hour trying to sell me a $2,000 treatment that was not covered by insurance. An hour! In that hour she could've done one of the many fillings she claimed I so badly needed. She made me feel really bad about my oral health. I understand her role in telling me what I need to do to improve my oral health, but asking " how important is it to you?" And repeatedly saying "that doesn't look good" or "I don't want your teeth to fall out" doesn't help.
You don't have to scare me in order for me to get the proper treatments. What a joke! If I'm at the dentist voluntarily, not because of any pain, it's obvious my oral health is important to me. It felt a bit condescending. That along with the aggressive sales pitch (for teeth!) really turned me off. Oh, after being there for 2.5 hours she asks me if I'm short on time. No consideration at all. I did not come there to listen to a sales pitch. Never again!

Just the worst experience I've ever had with a dentist. She recommended a "deep cleaning" and informed me that I had two cavities which needed filling. Like a total rube I went with it because I've always been taught to trust my dentist. $2000 later (which was only partially covered by insurance, because they didn't cover the deep cleaning) I returned to my old dentist who couldn't believe I'd had those procedures done and thought they were completely unnecessary.
I was content to just stop going to Dr. Appolon's office, but since I've been contacted repeatedly for three years to "schedule my next appointment." I don't even live in New York anymore. I've let the office know, but the emails and phone calls just keep coming. So now I'm leaving this review with the hope that I'll deter some other sucker from going to a crappy dentist.

DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU LIKE BEING TREATED LIKE GARBAGE and like getting incorrect information, constantly. Firstly, all the office hours you will find on the internet, including her own website are inaccurate. Despite representing themselves as "emergency" when I called with an emergency on a Saturday (they claim to be open until 5) I was informed the doctor was leaving early (by 3 hours according to her website) because she had "things to do". Also, after I told her my insurance provider, magically, the office was closed for the next two days which would inevitably mean I would go somewhere else while the website advertised it would be open Sunday and Monday for 9 hours.
I guess the Lady Dentist had more "things to do". Also, I can never understand how the nastiest ladies in the office always seem to get phone duty. I went to the NYU School of Dentistry instead (they have an emergency center on 24th st.) where I was not only treated like a person, but had my emergency addressed and paid next to nothing.

Please do not go here! Appolon fraudulently billed my insurance for $2,000 worth of dental work that was never performed during my half hour exam. I am currently disputing the charges. She also told me I had a few cavities which I found out wasn't true when I went to another dentist. The office is small, dirty and very unprofessional.

Great experience! For the cleaning she performed herself- very through and gentle. It was very easy to made another appointment 2 days later to have a filling that had been bothersome for months. I had been putting it off until I found a great dentist. There was no pain and she explained almost every step of the way. I was told to let her know by raising my arm if i felt any discomfort. She is very easy to talk to and seems genuinely concerned with my well being. All in all a great trip to the dentist and I will definitely be back;

I've been going to Dr Appolon for more then 5 years. The time you come in for your appointment is the time you get seen. She's straight forward, no nonsense person who tells you what you really need to do to keep your teeth in good working order.
PS: I've had less issues in the last 5-6 years then in the whole 20+ years I've seen any other doctor.

Having a fear of going to the dentist, from the time I walked into the office and then met Dr Appolon I was completely at ease. I was taken right away. I went to see her for a second opinion and glad I did. The doctor sat and explained to me in detail the dental work I needed. I decided to go with her. We began the dental work and I am very pleased. Dr Appolon has a gentle touch and checked in with me as she prepared my teeth for a crown. After the visit I resumed my day with no discomfort orbpain. I am very pleased.
