Who Comes to Us

Who Comes to Our Kids Dentist from Carnegie Hill, Manhattan

Carnegie Hill runs from roughly 86th to 96th Street east of Fifth Avenue — one of the most family-concentrated parts of the Upper East Side.

The 92nd Street Y is at Lexington and 91st. Asphalt Green is at 90th and York. Dalton, Spence, and Brearley all have campuses within a few blocks. The Guggenheim is at 88th and Fifth.

Parents here are engaged, well-researched, and accustomed to making deliberate choices about their children’s care. When they search for a kids dentist in Carnegie Hill Manhattan, they are not looking for the nearest option. They want a board-certified specialist — someone trained specifically for children, not a generalist who fits kids into the schedule.

That is what Bright Healthy Smiles is.

Parents comparing the best kids dentist Carnegie Hill has nearby often tell us the short trip down Third Avenue is worth it for specialist care.

What Families Say About Bright Healthy Smiles

My kids love going to the dentist thanks to Dr. Corielli and her staff. They are amazing, and the environment is so positive. I highly recommend them.

Happy Returning Parent

Our first visit was outstanding. The office is modern and kid‑friendly, with interactive waiting areas. The dentist and his assistant were attentive, professional and even provided tips on nutrition. It felt like a fun outing rather than a medical appointment.

New Patient

Dr. Corielli, Dr. Moursi, Dr. G and Dr. Charlotte are all great. We’re lucky to have Bright Healthy Smiles taking care of our children’s dental health.

Happy Parent

Dr. Corielli is incredible! My 10‑year‑old son with special needs loves going to the dentist. She is gentle, caring and skillful. I highly recommend Bright Healthy Smiles.

Special Need Patient's Parent

We’ve been with Bright Healthy Smiles for over 10 years. Dr. Corielli and her team feel like family. Their hygienists gently teach good habits and they supported us when my daughter sucked her thumb. It’s a welcoming environment we trust completely.

Long-Time Patient
The Team

Meet the Bright Healthy Smiles Team

Carnegie Hill pediatric dental care at its best is not about getting through appointments efficiently. It is about building a relationship with a child over years — knowing their history, their anxiety level, the treatment plan that has been building since they were one. That is the relationship we build.

Orthodontic Timing

Why the Orthodontic Evaluation at Age 7 Matters

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic screening at age 7.

At that age, enough permanent teeth have erupted to evaluate how the bite is developing and whether the jaw has the space it needs. Most children at 7 will not need treatment yet — but early evaluation tells you what is coming and what is worth watching. For Carnegie Hill families from schools like Dalton and Spence who have had a pediatrician suggest getting their child evaluated, age 7 is right on time.

Orthodontics — Down the Street, Not Across Town

Families managing after-school schedules between Asphalt Green, the 92nd Street Y, and Dalton pickup do not need a second specialist to track down.

Our orthodontists work in the same office as our pediatric dentists. Your child’s development has been tracked from the first visit. When braces or Invisalign become appropriate, we are already fully informed.

For the full picture on what we offer, see our orthodontic services page.

The neighborhood is home to the 92nd Street Y, the Guggenheim, Museum Mile, and some of the most respected independent schools in the city. The Carnegie Hill Neighbors organization is an active community voice with deep roots in the neighborhood’s civic life.
