About Saul M. Pressner DMD

This Upper East Side practice at 57 E 72nd St has been in operation since 1981 and works from a biomimetic restorative premise: conventional restorations require a large amount of tooth removal, and the remaining tooth structure is then prone to recurrent decay, discoloration and repeated replacement of crowns and fillings. In place of that, the practice emphasises tooth conservation — early detection techniques to identify problems before they progress and, where restoration is indicated, a detailed layering technique with materials selected to mimic natural tooth structure and function. Its own service listing covers biomimetic dentistry, family and cosmetic dentistry, tooth whitening, implant dentistry, TMJ and emergency care; porcelain and composite restorations are described for chipped, cracked or stained teeth. Care of anxious and fearful patients is an explicit focus, and clinicians here are recorded with the Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry.

Common Questions

What does this practice's biomimetic approach mean for how much of my tooth is removed?

The practice describes biomimetic methods as an alternative to traditional restorations, which require a large amount of tooth removal and often need replacing every few years. Its stated emphasis is tooth conservation: early detection of problems, then a detailed layering technique that places materials mimicking natural tooth structure and function. It reports fewer subsequent appointments as a result of that approach.

What happens at a first appointment here?

The practice describes the first visit as a getting-to-know-you appointment rather than treatment. It consists of an examination and a discussion of potential treatment options, addressing dental needs in order to determine appropriate treatment and estimated fees. Time is also spent on your past dental experience and on introducing the dentist and the team.

I am anxious about dental treatment. How does this office handle that?

Treating anxious, fearful or nervous patients is stated as a specific area of skill. The staff includes several dental hygienists, one holding a master's degree in psychology, and receptionists and assistants who work with fearful patients. The office offers music and relaxation techniques, asks about past dental experience, suggests methods for managing fear, and sets the pace of treatment with the patient.

What conditions and procedures does the practice list for its own patients?

Its published service list covers biomimetic dentistry, family dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, tooth whitening, implant dentistry, TMJ and emergency care. The directory records ceramic crowns, veneers and TMJ/TMD therapy at this location. Site material on restorative work discusses bridges, crowns, dentures, mercury-free tooth-coloured fillings and implants.

What do existing patients report about contact and follow-up with this office?

Google reviewers describe being telephoned back personally before becoming patients, being fitted into the schedule the same day they called, receiving a thorough evaluation, and having follow-up appointments coordinated by the dentist directly, including a call afterwards to check on them. One reviewer reports composite bonding still in place more than twenty years later. These are patient accounts rather than commitments made by the practice.
