Shall I Arrive Early for My First Appointment?

Yes. We kindly advise to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment to fill out a New Patient Form.

What Should I Bring to My First Appointment at Your Clinic?

Please bring the following documents to your first appointment: - Personal identification (driver’s license, ID card, etc.) - Insurance card

How Long Is My First Appointment Expected to Last at Your Clinic?

We advise that our patients are expected to have their first appointment at our clinic to last on average from an hour to an hour and a half.

I Was Previously Told to Take Antibiotics Before the Dental Visit. Is this true?

In some cases patients are required to take antibiotic medications before certain dental procedures are performed to lessen a risk of infection after the procedure. If you have already had prescription to antibiotic medication, please bring that to your appointment. Your dentist will advise if you need to take the medication after the procedure.

Why Are Regular Dentist Visits Important?

Regular dental visits are important because they provide you with the updates on your oral health and address the changes at an early stage making the treatment easier and less invasive and can potentially save you a lot of money in the long run.

Bensonhurst Dentist Serving Brooklyn 11214 — Multilingual Family Practice

Searching for a dentist near Bensonhurst? Eco Dental NY is a short drive east of Bensonhurst at 2384 Ocean Avenue — easily reached via Bay Parkway, 86th Street, or Avenue U. Our team speaks English, Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, and Uzbek, and we serve the 11214 community with the same patience and clarity we’d want for our own families. Call (718) 368-3368 — same-day emergencies welcome.

A dental practice built around one of Brooklyn’s most diverse communities

Bensonhurst is a neighborhood where you can walk one block and hear five languages. Italian families who’ve been here for generations. Recent arrivals from China, Russia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, and Eastern Europe. Sephardic Jewish households. Younger professional families settling near the L train and 86th Street commercial corridor.

Our practice is led by Dr. Natalia Blazhkevich, DDS — a graduate of the New York University College of Dentistry — and we built our patient experience around the simple recognition that the person in our chair might want to discuss their treatment in a language other than English. That should not be a problem. With us, it isn’t.

Modern equipment, conservative approach

Digital X-rays (lower radiation), modern local anesthetic (significantly more comfortable than older formulations), and a treatment philosophy that says: preserve as much natural tooth as possible, do the work carefully the first time, and don’t over-treat.

Convenient from Bensonhurst

From central Bensonhurst (around 86th Street and Bay Parkway), we’re a 7–12 minute drive east on Avenue U, Avenue V, or Kings Highway to Ocean Avenue. Several MTA bus routes connect. Street parking is generally available on Ocean Avenue and side streets.

Honest cost conversations

Before any treatment, you’ll know what insurance covers, what you owe, and what financing options exist. No surprises at checkout. If a procedure is expensive and we have an alternative that costs less, we’ll mention it.

Frequently asked questions

Do you speak Italian or Chinese?

We don’t currently have Italian or Chinese speakers on staff. However, our team speaks English, Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, and Uzbek. For Italian or Chinese-only patients we often arrange for a family member to assist during the consultation.

Are you accepting new patients from Bensonhurst?

Yes — Eco Dental NY is currently accepting new patients of all ages. Call (718) 368-3368 to schedule.

Do you offer same-day crowns?

For most crowns we use a two-visit protocol — first visit for preparation and temporary, second visit for permanent crown placement. This gives the best long-term fit and durability.

What if my child is afraid of the dentist?

That’s completely normal. We take time, use language a child understands, and never rush. Most kids leave their first visit a little less scared than they came in.

Can I pay for treatment over time?

Yes — we partner with CareCredit, which lets you split treatment costs over monthly installments, often with 0% promotional interest. Application takes a few minutes and is usually approved the same day.
