Bright Healthy Smiles is at 1317 Third Avenue — down the avenue from most of Yorkville, and within walking distance for families on the East 70s, 80s, and 90s east of Second Avenue.
We are board-certified pediatric dental and orthodontic specialists. Our practice has been part of the Upper East Side for years, and for Yorkville families, that means a practice close enough to feel like a neighborhood option and strong enough to be the right one.
Yorkville — roughly 79th to 96th Street east of Second Avenue — is one of the most authentically residential stretches of the East Side.
Carl Schurz Park is here. John Jay Park and Pool is at 76th Street. The Yorkville Library is at East 79th Street. P.S. 158 Bayard Taylor and J.H.S. 167 Robert F. Wagner are nearby. The neighborhood moves at a human pace.
Parents here tend to want their children’s healthcare to feel like part of the neighborhood — a kids dentist in Yorkville Manhattan they can walk to, where the team knows their child, and where the first visit does not feel like an ordeal.
That is what we try to be.
Dental care for every stage of childhood:
Orthodontic care in the same office, from early evaluation through full treatment:
Yorkville parents often tell us the same thing: their child was nervous at the first appointment and asked when they could come back after the second. Eloise, our therapy dog, is a significant part of why that shift happens.
Not every practice that sees children is a genuine pediatric dental practice.
Board-certified pediatric dentists have completed two to three additional years of specialty training after dental school — focused on children’s development, behavior management, and the clinical needs of primary and mixed dentition. The American Board of Pediatric Dentistry maintains this certification.
Every pediatric dentist at Bright Healthy Smiles holds it. For Yorkville families looking for a true children’s dentist in Yorkville New York — not a generalist who happens to see kids — that is where to start.
Most families looking for an orthodontist in Yorkville Manhattan expect a separate practice, a second intake, and a new relationship to build.
With us, it does not work that way. Our orthodontists share the office with our pediatric dentists. Your child’s development has been tracked from the start. When Phase 1, Invisalign First, or braces become appropriate, we are already deeply informed.
That is Yorkville pediatric dental care and orthodontic care done together — not referred out.

1317 Third Avenue, 6th Floor, between East 75th and 76th Streets.
Yorkville has one of the richest neighborhood histories on the Upper East Side — once a thriving German, Hungarian, and Czech community, its traces still show in the architecture and character of the blocks east of Second.
Today it is a neighborhood where families put down roots. Carl Schurz Park along the East River is a genuine gathering place on weekends. The schools are strong. The community knows itself.
We are proud to serve Yorkville families as their neighborhood pediatric dental and orthodontic practice.
Bright Healthy Smiles is the pediatric dentist Yorkville NYC families walk to on Third Avenue — and the same practice that serves Carnegie Hill, Lenox Hill, and the Upper East Side.
