Dental implants for Ellenville patients
Implants are the most common reason people search for our practice from Ellenville. We handle the whole course of treatment in our Walden office: planning and imaging, any extraction that’s needed, bone grafting where the jaw needs building up first, placing the implant, and fitting the final crown, bridge or implant-supported denture. You are not passed between offices partway through.
Dr. Sayeed has placed implants and performed more than 4,000 root canals over his career, and a good deal of implant work begins as a tooth that cannot be saved. If you are weighing an implant against a bridge or a denture, we will tell you plainly which one suits your case and what each will cost before anything starts.

Emergency dentist for Ellenville, NY
We keep same-day appointments open every weekday for dental emergencies — a bad toothache, a broken or knocked-out tooth, facial swelling, or a lost filling or crown. Call (845) 713-4822 before you set off from Ellenville so we can have a chair ready when you arrive about half an hour later. We see emergencies by appointment rather than as walk-ins, so phoning ahead genuinely matters.
While you’re on the way:
- Knocked-out tooth: hold it by the crown, not the root. Put it back in the socket if you can, or keep it in milk.
- Swelling or fever: tell us when you call. Facial swelling needs same-day attention.
- Broken tooth: rinse with warm water and bring any pieces with you.
- Pain: over-the-counter pain relief is fine. Don’t hold aspirin against the gum.
Outside our hours, the nearest 24-hour emergency room is Garnet Health Medical Center, 707 E Main St, Middletown. More on what counts as urgent: dental emergencies and chipped or broken teeth.

Getting here from Ellenville
From Ellenville, take NY-52 east. The road climbs over the Shawangunk Ridge and runs through Walker Valley and Pine Bush before dropping into Walden — it is essentially one road the whole way. We’re at 57 Main St, with onsite parking.
The trip is about 20 miles and takes roughly 30 minutes when traffic is light. NY-52 is a winding road over the ridge, so allow extra time in snow or heavy rain. Open the practice in Google Maps for live directions.
Insurance, Medicaid and payment
We accept Aetna PPO, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, EmblemHealth PPO, Fidelis Care, UnitedHealthcare PPO, Metrodent and Metrodent Premier, DentaQuest plans, CSEA dental plans, and Medicaid plans administered by DentaQuest. Coverage depends on your plan, so our team checks your benefits before treatment starts and tells you what you’ll owe.
We also take all major credit and debit cards, HSA and FSA cards, and CareCredit or Cherry financing for treatment that insurance doesn’t cover.
What we don’t offer
- Botox and facial aesthetics. We don’t provide them. Some searches for botox in Ellenville reach this practice; we are a dental office only.
- Young children. We treat teens and adults. Younger children are better served by a pediatric dentist.
- Evening and weekend visits. We’re open Monday to Friday, 8 AM–5 PM, with lunch from 1 to 2.
Your first visit from Ellenville
Your first appointment covers an exam, any X-rays we need, and a written plan with the cost of each step before treatment starts. Bring your insurance card, a list of medications, and any recent X-rays from a previous dentist — we can request them for you if it’s easier. You can fill in the patient forms before you arrive, and our first appointment checklist explains what to expect.
