Straightening your teeth: clear braces in Walden
If you’re looking to straighten your teeth, we offer clear braces for suitable cases, for teens and adults, at our Walden office, a short drive up NY-208. At a consultation, Dr. Sayeed checks whether clear braces suit your teeth. Significant bite or jaw problems are best treated by a specialist orthodontist, and we’ll refer you if that applies.
If your real concern is crooked teeth, that page sets out the options, from clear braces to veneers or bonding when teeth don’t need to move.
Emergency dentist for Washingtonville, 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 Washingtonville so we can have a chair ready when you arrive about twenty minutes 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.
Root canals, extractions and wisdom teeth
After emergencies, this is what Washingtonville searches are mostly about. A root canal treats an infected or dying nerve inside a tooth so the tooth itself can stay. Dr. Sayeed has performed more than 4,000 root canals, and where the tooth can be saved that is almost always the better outcome — cheaper over a lifetime, and nothing artificial to maintain.
Where a tooth genuinely cannot be saved, we take it out and plan the replacement at the same visit, whether that turns out to be an implant, a bridge or a denture. We also remove wisdom teeth in straightforward cases and refer out the ones that need an oral surgeon.

Dental implants for Washingtonville patients
We handle implants from start to finish in the Walden office: planning and imaging, extraction if the tooth is still in place, bone grafting where the jaw needs building up first, placing the implant, and fitting the final crown, bridge or implant-supported denture. Single teeth and full-arch replacement are both done here, and you are not passed between practices partway through.

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 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 Washingtonville
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.
