Getting here from Red Hook
Route 199 runs from the village to the bridge, so the drive is easy to remember. Open our address in Google Maps for directions from your door.
From the village
West on Route 199 to the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge, cross, and you are minutes from our office. About 21 minutes.
From Tivoli and Annandale
South on 9G to Route 199, then west over the bridge. About 20 to 25 minutes.
The bridge charges only eastbound, on your way home. Patients also come from Upper Red Hook and Barrytown, and from Milan and Clermont to the east and north.
A year of dental care from Red Hook
Close enough for regular care. This is what a typical year looks like for a healthy adult.
| When | Visit | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Spring | Checkup and cleaning | About an hour |
| Once a year | Bitewing X-rays, if due | A few minutes, at the checkup |
| Fall | Checkup and cleaning | About an hour |
| Any time | teeth whitening top-up with your trays | At home |
If you have gum disease or get cavities often, Dr. Sayeed may suggest cleanings every three or four months.
When you need more than a checkup
Larger treatment is done in the same office.
- crowns in two visits, one to two weeks apart.
- root canals, usually in one visit.
- dental implants, planned with our 3D scan and placed with a printed guide.
Is it worth driving to Kingston?
For most Red Hook patients it is a 20-minute drive, and checkups and cleanings are booked together, so one trip covers both.
Tivoli, Annandale and Upper Red Hook
From Tivoli and Annandale-on-Hudson, Route 9G south to Route 199 is the simplest way; from Upper Red Hook, take Route 9 into the village and pick up 199 there. Either way, allow 20 to 25 minutes.
If you study or work at Bard, book a checkup and cleaning together at the start of term, and we will check whether your plan covers them before you come.
