Walden Dental NY is a general, restorative and implant dental practice at 57 Main St in Walden — about 29 miles from Warwick, or roughly 40 minutes via NY-94 and I-84. That is a longer drive than most of our patients make, and we would rather say so plainly: people come this far for implant and full-arch work planned, placed and finished in one office rather than split between a surgeon and a restorative dentist. We treat teens and adults, hold same-day appointments every weekday for dental emergencies, and welcome new patients from Warwick and southern Orange County.

Why Warwick patients make the drive
Forty minutes is a real trip, and for a cleaning it is probably not the right one — there are good dentists closer to you. Where the distance starts to make sense is work that would otherwise be split across two or three practices.
Implants are the clearest example. Planning and imaging, any extraction needed, bone grafting where the jaw has to be built up first, placing the implant and fitting the final crown, bridge or implant-supported denture all happen in our Walden office — so you are not referred out halfway through and sent back, which usually means fewer journeys overall, not more. Dr. Sayeed has also performed more than 4,000 root canals, so where a tooth can be saved rather than replaced, that is the advice you will get.
Emergency dentist for Warwick, 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 Warwick. We see emergencies by appointment rather than as walk-ins, and at forty minutes away that call matters more here than anywhere else we serve — please don’t drive over and hope.
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. Coming from Warwick?

Tooth extractions and dentures
Extractions are one of the more common reasons people search for us from Warwick. We remove teeth broken below the gum, badly decayed, cracked through the root, or crowded and causing problems, including wisdom teeth in straightforward cases. Where the tooth can be saved with a root canal instead, we will say so before anything is taken out.
If a tooth is coming out and you want to replace it, we can plan that at the same visit — an implant, a bridge or a denture — saving a separate trip from Warwick. We make full and partial dentures, repair and reline existing ones, and fit implant-supported dentures where a conventional plate won’t stay put.
Getting here from Warwick
From Warwick, take NY-94 north through Florida and Chester, then NY-17 east towards Goshen. Follow I-84 east, leave at the NY-208 exit for Maybrook and Montgomery, and head north into the village of Walden. We’re at 57 Main St, with onsite parking.
About 29 miles, roughly 40 minutes in light traffic — allow noticeably more during weekday rush hours on NY-17 and I-84, and in winter on NY-94. 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
- Young children. We treat teens and adults. Younger children are better served by a pediatric dentist.
- Botox and facial aesthetics. We are a dental practice only.
- Evening and weekend visits. We’re open Monday to Friday, 8 AM–5 PM, with lunch from 1 to 2. For a forty-minute drive, that is worth checking before you book.
Your first visit from Warwick
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. Fill in the patient forms before you arrive — worth doing given the distance — and our first appointment checklist explains what to expect.
