Helma Philips, DDS – Advent Dental

I had one of the most amazing and easy going dental visits ever. The dental hygienist as well as the dentist where kinda and informative professionals!

I have been seeing Dr. Philips for over 6 years now! I really appreciate that the office calls and emails me the week of my appointment to confirm. They are organized and super friendly. When I show up for my appointment the wait has always been very minimal — most of the time they are ready for me within a few minutes. Mariana cleans my teeth and is fantastic. The appointments are quick and painless and they don’t try to «sell» me on products. Instead, I feel like they are practical and straightforward about what needs to be done to my teeth. I highly recommend this dentist!

I am a difficult patient and have a lot of anxiety with going to dentists but they always put me at ease. Dr. Philips and Marianna do a very thorough job with my teeth and I trust them a lot. I truly feel like the office always has my best interest in mind with all dental procedures. They know me by name, they are always friendly and welcoming I could never imagine going to another dental practice in the city. Also, the office is clean and they are always running on time.

Dr. Phillips is the most incredible dentist. She is very thorough and highly experienced. The office is very pleasant — a wonderful environment, great staff and always on time! I have been going there since 2007, and plan to keep going as long as I live in NYC.

This is the best dental office I’ve ever been to. Dr Philips is very kind and warm and she is extremely professional. She is extremely honest and cautious and does not do unnecessary fillings. The staff is also excellent. Do not hesitate to go here!

Helma Philips is a lovely and warm dentist! She is caring and attentive.
Her office is spotless, well run, and always ensures to provide email reminders and phone calls to remind you of your appointment!
I’ve been going for nearly 3 years and have always been impressed and taken care of.
Thank you!

The best. The best. THE BEST! A work colleague recommended her, and I have never been more pleased with a dentist. I do not like going to the dentist, and literally every time she has had to do a filling I’ve almost fallen asleep in the chair. I never feel a thing, and have no problems/​pain afterwards. Prices are very reasonable and staff is very friendly and accommodating. Office is clean and modern. When they book my appointment for 1pm, the appointment starts at 1pm. Now I love going to the dentist because I can get a nap in ;)

I originally picked Dr. Philips for her proximity to my work (Midtown East), but after my first appointment I realized that this was a fantastic office. It’s been over 4 years now and I’ve recommended all of my colleagues to visit her office (she gives a $ 50 referral credit for each recommendation that becomes a patient!).
I’ve had great experiences with all the hygienists and I highly recommend Marianna — very friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient.
Dr. Philips is very professional, kind, and accommodating. She’s never rushing out and always spends time actually explaining and educating you on any dental issues.
Lastly, the administration here is fantastic! They’re super flexible and always send multiple reminders ahead of time so that if you need to reschedule it’s actually possible. Also, they correspond via e-​mail which is super helpful for me as I’m out of city/​country often. Great office!

Great dentist. Very gentle and accommodating. Can schedule/​reschedule by email which is very helpful and easier they calling. Really efficient and effective. Have recommended to several people — all of whom are also still patients.

I am thrilled I entrusted my teeth to Dr. Philips! She is an excellent dentist; she helped me through some difficult (dental) times with her genuine care and fantastic expertise. I have no intentions of ever going to someone else and I recommend her and her staff highly! Marianna is a superb hygienist (and a lot of fun), Emily and Bea are a pleasure to work with and always helpful. I look forward to visiting the office — it is like a family!

I moved over to Dr. Philips after a bad experience with another dentist in the area — what a great change! I have very sensitive teeth, but the team is always happy to do a gentle, manual cleaning for me. They are all very accommodating and friendly. It is also really helpful that you can confirm/​cancel/​reschedule appointments via email — such a time saver. So happy I switched to Dr. Philips!

What is more important in life than a good health and a golden smile! If you ever feel toothache or in need of a fix to boast the sexiest smile on earth or just need a routine checkup then you should run to Dr Helma Philip’s office. She is so hospitable, calm, profesional and makes you feel that your smile will always shine with clean and healthy teeth! Her staff is just as great with attention to detail and always making sure you get a positive experience… because teeth can sometimes make you grind! So seat back! Open your mouth; relax… and smile! Life is more charming that way!

My family and I have been patients of Dr. Philips for over 5 years. My husband had such fear in going to the dentist but Dr. Philips makes it comfortable for him and all her patients. Prior to administering on her patients she catches up personally and spends that one on one time which I love.
Everyone in the office is so warm, welcoming and loving. It’s such a wonderful, clean and modern atmosphere.
I wish there were more stars to give on the quality of service they provide.

Dr Philips and her staff are extremely competent, professional and courteous. Helma is warm and kind, and her smile brightens-​up any room. Rest assured that you will feel comfortable in her good hands.
What I value most about Dr Philips is her attention to detail. She explains every step of the procedure as she is performing it, which I find not only satisfies my curiosity or anxiety, but also is highly educational and provides me great context for the work that was performed and the reasons behind it. Very helpful :-)
The office is clean and bright, and they have cable TV for your viewing convenience right in your chair, although I always prefer to check e-​mail and news on my smart phone, which is fine too.
Tell the office that Francis sent you ! :)

My wife and I have been seeing Dr. Philips for five years now, so it’s past time to write a review. My only hesitation is that I want to keep her secret for myself. But that wouldn’t be fair to you, dear reader, or to her.
Dr. Phillips is outstanding. Her technique is precise, she is an excellent communicator during procedures and her standards for success (maximum efficacy, maximum efficiency, minimum discomfort or uncertainty) are of the highest caliber. Her hygienists and her office managers, Bea and Emily, are attentive, organized and generally outstanding. The tools and materials she uses are top quality, her office is immaculate, and her network of oral surgeons through NYU is a huge source of comfort. We have consistently been thrilled with her work and I’m certain she has improved our dental hygiene and the health and longevity of our teeth and gums. Also her location is great for me in midtown.
I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Dr. Helma Philips is the greatest dentist I have ever had. She and her staff are true professionals. I would highly recommend Dr. Philips (and have) to anyone.

I have been going to Dr. Helma Philips for close to 5 years now and I am extremely satisfied with the service I receive. Her office manager and dental assistant are very nice and professional. But most importantly, Dr. Phillips is the BEST at cosmetic dentistry. I chipped my front tooth about 15 yrs ago and have seen my dentists to have it bonded, and each time I could see and feel the bonding. Not with Dr. Phillips. The bonding is absolutely perfect against my natural tooth and there is no way of seeing that it was chipped. I 100% recommend Dr. Phillips.

Dr. Helma Phillips is true professional, very knowledgable and extremely gentle, which is important to me as I have sensitive gums. She and her hygienist are fantastic, the office is gorgeous and I’ve never had to wait too long. Such a relief to have finally found a dentist I am comfortable with.

I came in for a second visit to dr Philips after they uncovered a cavity upon my cleaning. My expectations on my second visit were exceeded again. I was greeted very politely and was seated in the dental chair almost immediately. I was explained what my procedure was again before dr Philips began to work on it. They applied a numbing agent before the anesthesia was administered. I did not feel a thing ! After my the procedure location was numb she began work. Dr Philips was very careful and was meticulous when working on the cavity. I was done about ²⁰⁄₃₀ minutes after. It’s been a month since and my tooth feels and looks perfect. Because they use the white filling you cannot even tell I have a cavity. The office is spotless and its equipped with all state of the art dental equipment. I don’t look forward to dental appointments but I don’t mind at all visiting dr Philips.

Dr Philips is simply the BEST in the business. Her technical skills are second to none and what really impresses me is that she is constantly improving her practice by attending continued education training. You can be rest assured that as her patient, you’re getting the most advanced treatment available. Aside from her being an excellent dentist, she is very friendly and NON-​JUDGMENTAL. I was able to open up to her re my long suffering teeth and she devised a regimen with short and long term goals, that over time, fixed all my dental problems. Before I met dr Philips I neglected my teeth for too long. I am so grateful that she is my dentist.
