This is a great place to go for your dental needs! Staff is friendly, its easy to schedule appointments and you dont have to wait too long. Dr. Mead was so friendly, and his assistant Mary was thorough in her work and very sweet. Thank you for making an uncomfortable experience easy as pie, you guys.

Dr. Mead did a fantastic job! He and his staff are very nice, cordial & friendly. Like ANY service based company in 2026, the focus is in billable time for service. I would think they would offer some of their elderly customers a discount as we are all on fixed incomes, but still need professional services. Just an idea for the future. Respectfully, Paul Clapper

A++ Our entire family goes there for basic cleanings and more. They are great with my 3 kids and work efficiently to get us in and out. They give great advice to catch small things before they get worse and more expensive. Kids never hesitate to go for a check up! (Always a perk)

Dr. Meade was unbelievable today, including his staff. They got me in quickly and with care. They have all the hi-tech equipment, especially the 3d xray machines that caught my infection in my back teeth. Then he pulled them out. I seriously didn't feel the tooth being pulled out. Trust me i have high anxiety and i wasn't nervous once. I felt no pain throughout the process and nothing after more than the usual pain from that procedure. I highly recommend them for any work and for everyone being nice too. 🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷 5 Teeth 😁review

I had an infected tooth and my body was expelling it by pushing it up. This prevented my other teeth from closing and it was very painful whenever I tried to bite. I called Downton Dental in the afternoon and they got me in at there next available appointment but the dentist, after reviewing the symptoms I had, contrived a way to move my appointment to 8:00 next morning without impacting other treatments. They then called me back to see if I wanted to make the change - I didn’t initiate the call to them - they called me. Oh, yes, I definitely wanted to make the change to the earlier appointment! It was obvious the tooth required extraction and I was very surprised that the dentist could do it immediately. I expected some referral that would take time. I asked him questions about what had happened to the tooth and he answered stating the names of the probable bacteria and how they secrete toxins that cause the problem. He explained why extraction was necessary and noted that it was my decision but this was not a marginal case. I said ok. He numbed my jaw. Then, after carefully checking the numbing effect, he spent extra time numbing my jaw further He described how the degree of infection can sometimes interfere with the numbing. I closed my eyes waiting to feel some pain at the time of the extraction, and kept waiting for it to occur with eyes closed. The dentist had to notify me - still waiting - that the extraction was already over. I was still waiting for it to start. I just felt no indication that it had occurred because of the care he used in checking and adjusting the anesthesia. He then inserted some devices that control bleeding and told me that while I probably didn’t need them he wanted to make sure of healing doubly by adding a stitch. Fine with me! This process was also completely painless. He very carefully explained what to do in the healing process and the office gave me written instructions. I was re-briefed by his assistant. The instructions were simple. The whole process was very efficient and ran like a well oiled machine. I am not sure exactly how long it took but it seemed like at most an hour or so. I had dental insurance but saw that his prices were reasonable and not gauging in any way. The dentist office itself is in an old architectural marvel and I found myself wondering about the architecture instead of the procedure which is unusual as I am dental phobic. Why am I phobic? Because not all, no not even most, of the dental experiences I have had were like this. I have had some friends also use this office and they reported similar experiences.

Downtown Dental Syracuse is a general dental practice located in the historic University Building in downtown Syracuse, New York. The practice has been serving patients and families in the area for over 65 years, offering a full range of dental services including preventive care, cosmetic dentistry, restorative treatments, and dental implants. For patients considering dental implants, the practice notes that implants can be both placed and restored in the same office, so treatment can be completed in one location rather than requiring a referral elsewhere.
The practice offers several implant-related options, including single tooth implants, implant-supported dentures, and All-on-4 dental implants. Downtown Dental Syracuse works with most employer-sponsored and private dental insurance plans, though it does not participate in Medicaid or other state or government sponsored plans, and it also offers its own membership plan for patients without insurance. The team emphasizes a personalized, patient-centered approach, aiming to make visits comfortable for patients of all ages, including those considering implant treatment for the first time.
The practice's clinical team includes Dr. Tyler Mead, DDS, and Dr. Chris Zimmerman, DMD, who together head the dental team at Downtown Dental Syracuse.
