Malav Shah, DDS

The pandemic compounded a long-running Malav Shah, DDS staffing gap in south Huntington; the neighborhood lacked a dentist accepting new patients for over a year. This general-practice office occupies the upper floor of an unassuming gray-clad building at 1616 13th Ave #200. Inside the zip code, dental offices are spread across chain clinics and one large health-system suite—most double-book every slot and refer complex cases downtown. The practice fills prescriptions and performs two kinds of digital radiography, but most visits involve fillings, crowns, or periodontal cleanings wrapped in standard fee-for-service schedules. Routine extractions and partials can be scheduled alongside routine recare; some medically compromised patients who need antibiotic pre-med arrive for shorter morning windows. Nitrous oxide is available—practitioners prioritize anxiety management—while longer reconstructions span multiple visits. Call (304) 691-1247 to add or reschedule; voicemail prompts a same-day callback for urgent needs. Patients routinely bring prior outside films so current scans aren’t duplicated—downtown clinics are often miles closer than next-door labs. A modest front vestibule separates the driveway lift from the first-floor vestibule.

The route avoids the 17th Street bottleneck but competes with rush-hour traffic heading toward Ritter Park.
