Martin Aronoff, DDS

Dentists in SoHo come and go; this one has stayed put.

Martin Aronoff, DDS keeps an office on Greene Street between Spring and Broome—72 Greene St, New York, NY 10012—where the old cast-iron facades still outnumber the glass towers. The block feels quieter than the rest of the neighborhood, as if the cobblestones absorb some of the weekend foot traffic before it reaches the door. General dentistry is the main offering: cleanings, exams, fillings, and crowns; nothing flashy, just the routine work that keeps a practice running decade after decade.

Most patients find the place through word of mouth or a quick search when their usual dentist retires. X-rays, root canals, and simple extractions are handled in-house, so there’s rarely a need to shuttle between specialists. The phone rings with the same questions every Tuesday: 212-925-3330, usually about insurance codes or whether the hygienist has an opening before the next holiday weekend.

Directions are straightforward—turn off Broadway at Spring and walk two blocks south. For anyone who prefers a map, the listing is here: Martin Aronoff, DDS on Greene Street. If you’re already in the area for lunch, it’s an easy stop before the post-meal espresso line gets long.
