Dr. Arun Balakumar, DDS

The Palisade Avenue corridor in Yonkers has long been a quiet but essential stretch for everyday services—pharmacies, dry cleaners, the kind of places that keep a neighborhood running. Among them is Dr. Arun Balakumar, DDS, a dental practice offering routine cleanings, fillings, and preventive care. Dental offices in this part of Westchester tend to serve a mix of longtime residents and newcomers, often becoming a go-to for families who prefer consistency over flashy marketing. A single Google review gives the practice a perfect 5.0 rating, though the small sample size means it’s still building its digital footprint. Still, in a field where word of mouth carries weight, even one positive note can speak volumes to neighbors comparing options.

Finding a dentist who handles everything from crowns to basic exams without referring patients elsewhere can simplify life—especially for those juggling work and family schedules. The office sits at 1 Palisade Ave UNIT 2, a straightforward location for anyone familiar with the area’s layout. Questions about appointments or services are a call away at (914) 375-6106, and first-time visitors might want to check the map for directions—the unit number matters in this small plaza. This stretch of Yonkers isn’t about tourist draws; it’s about the unglamorous but necessary stops that make daily life a little smoother.
