Dr. Howard S. Golan, DDS

How often do you actually plan a dental visit before something starts to ache? Most of us don’t—until we do. That’s when a local practice like Dr. Howard S. Golan, DDS becomes the quiet constant on Hillside Avenue. The office sits at 245 Hillside Ave. Ste B in Williston Park, a short drive from the LIRR station and the kind of neighborhood where the sidewalks still feel like part of the front yard. General dentistry isn’t flashy, but it’s one of those things you only notice when it’s missing; cleanings, fillings, crowns, and emergency care keep the daily rhythm of a community running without fanfare.

Routine exams, X-rays, and root canals are handled here—nothing unexpected, just the steady work of maintaining teeth that have to last decades. When you need to reach them, the number is (516) 627-1687; keep it saved, because the moment you realize you should’ve called three days ago is the moment you’ll be glad it’s already in your contacts. For directions, the map is straightforward: pull up the link and you’ll see the office tucked between the dry cleaner and the small grocery where everyone grabs milk on the way home.
