Externship
Meet your dentist
Dr. Deepa Kastoori owns and operates Royal Lane Dental Center. She earned her BDS in India and a DDS at the NYU College of Dentistry, where she also completed an externship at the VA Medical Center in Manhattan — a program known for high-volume, complex restorative cases.
She practices a full scope of general and cosmetic dentistry on Greenville Ave., from family cleanings and clear aligners to dental implants, veneers, and same-day emergency care. Patients regularly describe her as patient and unhurried — the kind of dentist who explains a treatment plan before reaching for a drill.
Clinical focus
Patient experience
"The staff here and Dr. Deepa is amazing. They are patient and take their time explaining our treatment plan without us feeling rushed."
The chair-side team
Continuity matters in dentistry. Your appointment confirmation, your hygiene visit, and your treatment are all handled by the same three people — so by your second cleaning, they already know which side of your mouth needs the extra time.

How we practice
Royal Lane is a single-location, owner-run practice. That shapes how we work — fewer patients per day, more time per chair, and decisions made by the dentist who's actually treating you.
Unrushed visits
We block enough time per chair to actually answer questions. Patients consistently note that nothing feels rushed.
Family-first
Pediatric, adult, and senior care under one roof. Bring the whole household; we stagger appointments so you only park once.
Plan before procedure
Dr. Kastoori walks you through findings, options, and out-of-pocket costs before any drill turns on.
Comfortable for the anxious
Kids with needle phobia, adults who've avoided cleanings for years — the team is patient with both, and we have Netflix in every operatory.
In patients' words
"I had my front tooth chip off and was really stressed about it, but Royal Lane Dental got me in ASAP and fixed it right away. The doctor did an amazing job and the whole staff was very kind and helpful."
"I had a smooth and reassuring experience getting a broken tooth treated. Doctor Deepa explained everything clearly while making sure I was comfortable throughout the visit. I left feeling relieved and well cared for."
"Front desk and staff are so friendly and took care of end to end process. Dr. Kastoori was also friendly and extremely informative."
New patients get a Full Dental Exam and Digital X-Rays for $89. Saturday appointments are open every week, and we accept most insurance with flexible payment plans available.
