Stuart C. Shaffren, D.D.S.

Dental offices in Oakland Gardens tend to cluster along the busier commercial strips, but Stuart C. Shaffren, D.D.S. holds a spot on 224th Street, where the rhythm of the neighborhood shifts between residential quiet and the hum of nearby Bell Boulevard. It’s one of those addresses that feels more like a local reference point than a destination—situated between the post office and a stretch of low-rise storefronts, where dentistry shares the block with the kind of everyday businesses that keep a community running. The practice fits into the area’s unassuming professional landscape, offering the kind of routine care that doesn’t call attention to itself but covers the essentials: cleanings, fillings, crowns, and the occasional emergency extraction for someone who bit down on something they shouldn’t have.

Booking an appointment here follows the usual process—no frills, just a direct line at (718) 225-8080 for anyone needing to schedule a checkup or address a lingering toothache. The address, 61-01 224th St, places it within easy reach of the Grand Central Parkway, which means patients from farther east in Queens might find it a convenient stop without venturing deep into the borough’s denser pockets. For first-time visitors, the map confirms what locals already know: this is one of those offices that blends into the daily routine, tucked between a nail salon and a deli where the coffee is always fresh by 7 a.m.
