Every day, we make sure that we live up to our name, and treat our patients with the gentlest touch. Whether it’s making sure they are seen on time, to painless treatment, to late night phone calls to check up on them after a difficult procedure – we are always there for them.

Welcome to Gentle Touch Dentistry, where our name is more than a label—it’s our promise of a caring, pain-free dental experience. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Steven Polevoy and Dr. Steven Weinstein, we’ve built a reputation for transforming dental care for patients who have long avoided the dentist due to past negative experiences.
Imagine a dental visit where even the dreaded “shot” is completely painless. Our patients are amazed at how our gentle techniques eliminate the fear and discomfort traditionally associated with injections and other procedures. As Dr. Polevoy explains, “Shots aren’t supposed to hurt. With the right approach, any shot can be painless.” Dr. Weinstein wholeheartedly agrees, emphasizing that creating a pain-free experience is essential to making every patient feel safe and cared for.
From routine cleanings to complex root canals and implants, every procedure at Gentle Touch Dentistry is designed with your comfort in mind. Our dedicated team—including skilled hygienists—adapts each treatment to your unique sensitivities.
Whether through specialized techniques, the use of nitrous oxide, or targeted numbing, our goal remains the same: to ensure your visit is as gentle as it is effective.
Shots aren’t supposed to hurt. Any shot can be
done painlessly. I use special techniques to make sure my patients don’t feel the injection at all. It takes time and patience to make shot painless, but it’s well worth it, especially for people who are scared of needles.
— Dr. Steven Polevoy
