NY Kids Dentistry & Orthodontics

What NY Kids Dentistry & Orthodontics does

NY Kids Dentistry and Orthodontics is a private, physician-owned dual-specialty dental practice operating two Manhattan offices since its founding in 1985. The original Upper East Side location at 110 East 87th Street delivers both pediatric dental care (infancy through late adolescence) and orthodontic treatment, while a second Upper West Side office at 130 West 86th Street, opened in the 2010s, is dedicated to orthodontics for patients of all ages. The practice is led by three partners — orthodontist Dr. Suzanne Cirino Duvalsaint, pediatric dentist Dr. Caryn Siegel, and orthodontist Dr. Keith Jaffe Goldman — supported by several associate clinicians, with notable faculty ties to Columbia University College of Dental Medicine.

The clinical platform combines established third-party dental technologies with proprietary service workflows. Pediatric services include routine exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, tooth-colored fillings, nitrous oxide sedation, and 24/7 on-call emergency care. Orthodontic offerings span metal braces, clear (ceramic) braces, and three clear-aligner systems (Invisalign, 3M Clarity, and Spark), supported by the iTero Element intraoral scanner for digital impressions and 3M Digital Bonding for single-visit full-arch bracket placement. Early interceptive treatment and palatal expanders serve the pediatric orthodontic segment.

Revenue is generated fee-for-service from professional dental and orthodontic procedures, with treatment costs varying by case and typically paid over multi-month or multi-year schedules. The practice accepts most major credit cards and provides insurance forms for patient reimbursement. Distribution is entirely direct-to-consumer via two physical offices, with patient acquisition driven primarily by word-of-mouth referrals, school community networks, and general-dentist referrals. No institutional funding, parent company, or external investors are indicated in available sources.
