An unhurried, boutique dental home located right in your backyard. At Creative Dentistry of Gowanus, we bridge the gap between advanced digital diagnostics and premium patient hospitality to provide our immediate neighbors with an unmatched standard of oral health.
For residents, local artists, and makers navigating the industrial-chic corridors and new residential spaces of Gowanus, our physical practice offers an unhurried, healthcare sanctuary located just a quick trip away at 185 Montague Street, 3rd Floor. If you are commuting via public transit, head over to the Union Street Station on 4th Avenue and take the uptown R train directly to the Court Street Station. Step off the train, walk less than one block to our building entrance next to Chipotle, and take the passenger elevator straight up to our 3rd-floor suite. If you are driving up from near the canal blocks or the Third Avenue corridor, follow Fourth Avenue or Smith Street straight north toward Borough Hall, the drive takes under 8 minutes, and you can pull directly into the secure paid valet parking garage located directly across the street from our front doors.
The Gowanus community is characterized by independent creators, tech professionals, and new residents who prioritize exceptional value, advanced health diagnostics, and clear financial transparency. We have custom-tailored our private practice menu to perfectly match your lifestyle boundaries:
Spending a few minutes to commute outside your immediate neighborhood boundary connects you with a rare foundation of private dental stability. While corporate dental chains continue to open across developing industrial zones, our independent private practice has anchored this community for 65 years. Dr. Matthew Bellafiore brings more than three decades of advanced surgical dental implant and complex restorative training to our practice, holding elite credentials with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI). He operates side-by-side with Dr. Alexander Black, an expert in computer-guided bite design, and Dr. Becca Baer, a former hospital Chief Resident specifically trained in complex full-mouth prosthodontic rehabilitation, giving you access to an unhurried, multi-doctor triage that treats you like a neighbor, never a generic chart number.
We believe premium, conservative dentistry must always be accompanied by straightforward, honest pricing. If you hold traditional commercial insurance, our front office acts as your administrative liaison, handling all out-of-network PPO filings and paperwork on your behalf to maximize your direct insurance reimbursement. We also maintain proud, active in-network standing with Delta Dental and CSEA. For our uninsured neighbors, our private In-House Membership Plan provides complete preventive peace of mind for an affordable $575 a year, while automatically unlocking a flat 15% discount on all subsequent treatments. Flexible monthly financing with soft credit checks and instant approvals is also fully integrated right on our office tablets through Cherry and Sunbit.
Because we dedicate generous blocks of unhurried, one-on-one time exclusively to you and strictly avoid double-booking our doctors, we maintain a firm 48 hour notice policy for all appointment adjustments. Canceling or rescheduling a block with less than 48 hours’ notice will incur a transparent $125.00 fee. You can easily modify your slot with our front desk via text message, email, or a phone call.
Yes, we actively encourage it to protect your time. Our intake platform is entirely digital and paper-free. Prior to your appointment window, our coordinators text a secure link straight to your personal mobile device, letting you complete your records seamlessly from home.
If you experience a sudden toothache, infection, or dental trauma outside of regular hours, please call our main line at (718) 875-9424 and leave a detailed message. Our team actively monitors urgent notifications and will connect with you to coordinate a same-day stabilization slot. If you face a life-threatening medical emergency or severe physical jaw trauma, dial 911 or visit a hospital emergency room immediately.
While our office building does not feature a private parking lot, a fully staffed, secure paid indoor valet parking garage is located directly across the street from our front entrance on Montague Street. This allows for seamless driving arrival without the hassle of street-parking searches.
To ensure that every single Brooklyn neighbor feels completely respected, heard, and accurately understood without barriers, our front office and clinical support staff can fully communicate and explain your care parameters in English, Spanish, and Polish.
