Meet the Doctor’s of Dr. Massiah’s Dental Practice in NYC
Dr.Shaun Massiah
Dr. Shaun Massiah is as passionate about dentistry as they come, having recognized his calling for the profession when he was just 13 years old. Dr. Massiah’s early revelation that he wanted to be a dentist happened when an American dentist came to volunteer in his hometown of Guyana. Dr. Massiah remembers, “I was so moved by his compassion and his expertise in his field, and I knew I wanted to be like him someday.” Dr. Massiah decided right then and there that he would do whatever was necessary to pursue his dream.
Just four years after his encounter with the American dentist, Dr. Massiah left his home in Guyana to pursue a career as a dentist. He worked all through university before he attended New Jersey Dental School. It was there that he fell in love with the idea of “changing people’s lives through dentistry.” He now walks to his own personal practice from his home on the Upper West Side of NYC, where he lives with his wife and young son.
Since opening his practice in 2002, Dr. Massiah has established himself as one of the leading African American dentist in NYC. Always keeping his practice on the cutting edge of dentistry, he is extremely passionate, extremely dedicated to his work and spends much of his free time continuing to build upon his dental education by enrolling in new and exciting dental training seminars.

Tiffany I. Allen D.M.D
Tiffany I. Allen fits right in with Dr. Massiah’s culturally rich dental practice as an Associate Dentist. Dr. Allen’s passion for foreign cultures has lead her to be one of the only bilingual, fluent Spanish-speaking dentists in the Upper West Side of NYC. Dr. Allen developed her Spanish skills and her dental skills simultaneously in Puerto Rico, where she lived and worked for a year as a resident dentist at the University of Puerto Rico, School of Dental Medicine in San Juan.
Dr. Allen says that living in Puerto Rico helped broaden her cultural horizons and gave her an amazing opportunity to make a difference in many peoples lives there. “I love how I can change a person’s life by changing their smile,” she says.
When Dr. Allen returned from Puerto Rico to her hometown of Queens, she began practicing at several offices in the area, including Dr. Massiah’s dental practice in NYC. She now resides in Astoria and keeps herself busy by teaching a Dental Hygiene course at Hostos Community College.
