Dr. Ben Mokhtar, DDS

Jamaica’s stretch of 164th Street blends residential quiet with the steady pulse of local businesses—barbershops, delis, and the occasional dental office tucked between them. Dr. Ben Mokhtar, DDS fits neatly into that rhythm, offering general dentistry in a neighborhood where walkability still matters. The block itself is unassuming, lined with low-rise buildings and the kind of sidewalks that see a mix of hurried commuters and neighbors out for a stroll.

Dental care here covers the essentials without frills: cleanings, fillings, and routine exams form the backbone of what they do. For those needing more than a checkup, crowns and extractions are also on the table. The address—89-61 164th St—puts it within easy reach of the F train’s 169th Street stop, a detail that likely appeals to patients coming from deeper in Queens or Brooklyn. No grand signage announces its presence; it’s the kind of place you’d notice by word of mouth or a quick search.

Logistics are simple: questions about appointments or services can be directed to (718) 739-0900. There’s no need to parse a lengthy menu of offerings—just the core of what a dental practice provides. The area itself is a study in contrasts, with the bustle of Jamaica Avenue a few blocks south and the quieter, tree-lined streets radiating outward.

Finding the office is easiest via the map listing, which pins it precisely among the storefronts. Some places blend into their surroundings; others don’t need to stand out to be exactly what the neighborhood requires.
