Pediatric care is adequate. The dentists and assistants speak kid which is good. If they can accommodate a minor procedure following a cleaning, they will. They are also able to provide a dental history sheet quickly for school. We've used this group for the past 4 years and we'll come back as long as they continue to be speedy and my kids continue to enjoy coming. read more

See all

Had an appointment at 9. Showed up. Waited in line. While im being seen when they get your info, a lady that works there is practically demanding whoever works in the back for the people in the back to start calling people via walkie talkie. I'm only there to drop off a denture. It's 45 minutes and I'm still there. I go up to the counter and the lady informs me there are still 2 people ahead of me. So I had to wait this long and it's still two people ahead of me and I scheduled for this time thinking all I had to do is drop off a denture. And hearing the lady practically begging them to start calling people. You can't be wasting peoples time like that. You guys need to correct that read more

This is a very unprofessional and disrespectful dental office. The staff is rude and does not know how to properly speak to Black customers. If you do not speak Spanish, they treat you like you don't matter--especially in the braces department. This is the worst place to get braces. Even after speaking with the manager about ongoing issues, nothing changes. The braces plan is extremely stressful, and the staff at the braces desk constantly gives incorrect information. When you arrive for appointments, they act as if you are the problem. Overall, this office shows a lack of professionalism, respect, and accountability. I do not recommend this place to anyone. read more

So I recently had a filling and the rude dentist had a problem with me letting it be known that some of my teeth are sensitive. She seemed to be dismissive of my concerns telling me that she didn't need to numb me for my filling. She began drilling on my tooth and immediately | jumped. I expressed to her that it was very painful. She then said "I can numb you, but it won't make a difference, it won't stop the sensitivity and I need to continue, I would've been finished already but you keep interrupting." I said "this has nothing to do with my sensitive teeth you're literally drilling on my tooth and it hurts, you need to numb me." Long story short after she gave me the numbing needle. I didn't feel a thing. I believe her name was Dr. Princy or prancy. smh read more

Have been patient there for atleast 10 years, over the past year or so I have noticed an extreme amount of very inexperienced dental students. I have been waiting for my dentures since May it is now mid July ever time I called since May I was told that they had to reach out to the lab and get back to me no one ever did. They are very rude and unprofessional there, everyone's moving around doing nothing. I would give this place a complete 0.... read more

DON'T GO HERE PLEASE!!! if you have insurance, they make sure to use that to their FULL advantage. They will remove teeth that DON'T need to be removed. It used to be called Childsmiles, but Abra Dental bought it since the business was going so badly due to the lawsuits. They don't care about you at all. The more they mess up your mouth, the more money they get. DON'T let them remove your CHILD'S teeth. read more

I do not recommend this place .I had very bad experience.not good. a New patient new to be treat the right way. This place is over crowded. they did a filling & the next day fell read more

These people cannot be trusted with money. I paid for a $5000 procedure in advance. The Doctor Who was supposed to perform , a specialist who had to do an implant, was no longer with the firm when a few months have passed, so I reached out to the firm and they didn't have a Doctor Who is capable of doing the procedure. Moreover, they refuse to give me my money back. So they didn't do the job, they can't do the job because they don't have a doctor on hand that is capable of doing the procedure. And they kept my money. After a long and hard fight, I did get back $1200. They outright stole $3800 from me. read more

My kids had a good care today by Maria and Amanda. They did a fast and efficient job.

Abra Dental - Somme St - this was a gift from them - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

Abraham dental is normally good. However the supervisor of orthodontics (front desk) is very disrespectful and should never be allowed to interact with the public. Her approach to her patients and staff shows that she is lacking the leadership and interpersonal skills are lacking and needs to be developed. read more

Ive been coming to this dentist for quite some time now and I have not yet to have anything good to say about this place I had my crowns replaced in front of my mouth and I have been coming back and forth here to get them tightened up since I've gotten them done, and my insurence is constantly being charged. Years ago when I got my crowns with Dr. Raines on Clinton Avenue and never had a complaint they last for 10 years and the only reason why I did not go back to them is because they don't except my insurance anymore. Abra dental is taking a vantage of my insurance constantly having me coming back-and-forth . My smile is my everything and it's ugly. Thanks to Abra dental..... it's only one star because Dr. Kapadia was good and now he's gone. read more

Abra Dental - Somme St - Even the crown that was put next to it cracked - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

Dr Richard Song the orthodontist doesn't wash his hands. When I asked him to wash his hands he acted like the king of the jungle and still went on to do his job from patient to patient without washing his hands. This is unacceptable. The office experience was disappointing until I spoke up. And to say the truth all the employees just came in put gloves on and went to work. No hand washing at all. So unsanitary so if you get Dr Richard Song tell him... WASH HIS HANDS! Of course he didn't like me because I spoke up and I told him to wash his hands. read more

People are courteous at the front desk but the main reason you will go there is for dental care and that is exactly what will not get . They treat dental care as if you were taking your car to Jeffrey lube. Is just ridiculus, how is that this people get a way with this type of service in hight emigrant areas of NJ . Because they will not dare to to pull this off in any other areas. This model of business is recipe for disaster. No one knows anything they try to look like a they know what they are doing when in fact is just mess. No I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who want to safe your tooth. read more

This is the worst dental office I've ever been to. The dentist was incredibly unprofessional. After taking X-rays, they falsely claimed I had cavities in healthy teeth and even suggested I needed a root canal--all to make more money. After I payed for four cavity treatments, but during the process, another dentist informed me I only needed work on two. I requested a refund for the unnecessary procedures, and they told me to wait a week. It's now been a month, and despite multiple visits, I still haven't received my refund. It's absurd. read more

Absolute worst dentist in the ironbound. Made an appointment for 12:20 pm and wasn't seen until after they returned for lunch at 2pm . Around 2:45 was finally called in for X-rays and sent back out into the waiting room to wait for someone to do my fill ins . Around 4pm I had finally had enough and just left. They had me sitting in there in pain for four hours. Offered no solutions to the pain, no medicines and was told they would start my dental work in certain areas and test to see if that would help the pain. This had to be the worst most unprofessional experience I've ever had at the dentist. Spent a whole afternoon here just to still be experiencing pain and when I stated I was leaving I wasn't offered any solutions other than if I wanted to make an appointment for the next day! As if I would spend another afternoon in this office how insulting. They're more worried about squeezing as many people as possible in and not actually about getting any real work done ! DO NOT GO HERE !! Do not !! read more

Abra Dental in Elizabeth office have terrible customer service. That office already looks like a factory instead of a medical practice, you arrive with your appointment and many times you have to wait up to 45 minutes to be seen due to the number of patients they have in the same day, the doctors do not dedicate themselves to the patient the necessary time they are not familiar with their patients even though they have had then for 2 years, they delay your treatments unnecessarily and then decide to do what they should have done and avoid unnecessary trips. When you go to make an appointment they never have availability in the weeks that they are supposed to see you for your treatment regularly, you have to wait up to 4 extra weeks of the regular 8 weeks that you should for your follow-up, they are not aware of holidays or closing days when you make your appointment for follow-up and they will call you 48 hours before to change the appointment that you had already made 8 weeks previously because when they gave you the appointment they did not realize in essence they were going to be closed or there would be a holiday and your follow-up appointment is delayed 5 weeks after having waited 8 weeks for your follow up appointment. read more

Had a root canal there and this month they referred me to a dentist in Nutley to fix their incompetent work.

Wonderful, gentle, patient and friendly Dentist, Hygienists and x-ray technicians. Great place for children.

While the receptionist admin area was friendly and courteous. I do feel like the practitioners have more of a residence feel. They seemed disconnected to the patients and there seem to be staff all over the place. I wish I had a better experience since it's closer to my home but I rather go a distance with dentists who have more experience and provide quality service. To be new in the neighborhood, you should be really striving to build a great rapport with new patients. Kathlyn was helpful and took her time explaining to me the dental procedures. Thx Kathlyn! This review is for the jersey city location on ocean ave. read more

Abra dental is like a slaughter house they get the patients in and out. All they care about is making money. They lose patients files and insurance information on the daily basis. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone! read more

The staff here works really hard to accommodate everyone accordingly. They are most welcoming and very gentle with their young patients.

Do yourself a favor and DO NOT GO THERE!! Horrible doctors, horrible service!! Unfortunately, I went there and had the worst experience of my life. They did such bad job the I have to go back every other week to fix the same issue. Zero Stars!! read more

Their priority: money! Why? Treatment length was determined on how many payments were left to be paid. Meaning, if braces were ready to come off, they wouldn't take them off because not all payments have been made yet. They were asked, how much longer until the braces comes off? Their answer: Oh, let's see how many payments you have left. Ridiculous! Furthermore, they're saying the insurance never paid them, which is true, but it's because Childsmiles never sent the insurance the necessary paperwork! If you're looking for a place that will value your money but not you the patient, this is the place for you. Otherwise, this place is horrible, stay away! read more

THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER ! I had no wait esas brought in immediately. The staff was great my assistant Tiffany Reyes made me feel so comfortable . Dr.Haley is the best dentist . 5 stars read more

If I could give this place no stars I would . IF YOU HAVE PRIVATE INSURANCE DONT GO HERE! The staff are uninformed and don't know anything other than answering the phone . i went to work his place is was crowded, no organization. They want to still money from the working class. I am new to NJ and found this place online , 4 kids 2 already in braces . No one in the office knew anything , the doctor Dr Wong took over a week to call back with a quote then gave me a rate of kids who never had braces to begin with. Don't go to this place read more

Toooo many people scheduled at the same time. No privacy they only care to charge for services even if the patient doesn't need it. I will not recommend this place. read more

My kids goes there since my oldest is 3/4yo. I love the friendly atmosphere, the colorful pictures on the wall and the amazing staff. They are very professional and explain everything in details for Us parents and for our kids. When my son was little they decided to put a expander on him and was the best decision ever since now he don't need braces. No matter your language they always find someone to talk to you. Waiting is minimal compare with other clinics. read more

They treated my 2 yr old very well. He was calm and happy and he had a few treatments. There is a tv on the ceiling to calm them. They took us early because we arrived early. Will come back and recommend this place. read more

The service is excellent but we have to wait for long time for our appointment, too many people.

My 1st check up appointment with Child Smiles was at 8:40AM and the waiting room had over 50 people waiting to be seen. I finally asked them to cancel my appointment when it turned 10AM. All of the people in the waiting room were called and I was not. The room has no social distancing and some people had no masks! People coughing, sneezing in a over packed waiting room. read more

Absolutely horrible service they tell us to text them when we arrive, we text them telling them we arrived so they tell us to wait in the car until they tell us to come in so we do then we call just to find out our appointment was canceled. we wasted an hour of our time just to find out our appointment was canceled. read more

worst dental place to get braces, I had my braces over 3 years for three gaps that was opening within the first 30 days of removing the braces , which caused my retainers to crack, because I was not apart of the retainer program I had to pay 600 to get new retainers, was told because I had clear braces I had to pay 600 when there isn't no difference in the retainers ... after 6 months wearing my retainers for 24 hours for 30 days, and the every night since, the third month I notice a crack in the upper retainer, also notice that the gap was spreading wider, call the dentist was told it was normal, that if it completely crack I'll have to pay 300$ for new retainers on a program , well two weeks ago I trashed them by mistake leaving the gym because I started wearing them all day between eating and drink with hopes that would help with my gaps not opening up fully again, welp that back fired because now 16 days later , two of my gaps open completely, soo devastating , I asked before I agreed to pay 3600 cash that it was possible to close and keep close .. I struggled with low self esteem all my life, I couldn't wait until I was able to pay to correct my smile to be able to smile without covering my mouth, and after 3 1/2 years later two out of three gaps are fully back, forced to now pay 600$ for retainers until i can afford braces from a more honest place read more

We have been coming to Child smiles for last 3 years for our child. We have been impressed with attention to detail and the overall reception of staff. Right from receptionist to nurse we have gotten utmost attention. Dr. Rajni Singh has been the primary dental care of our son and she takes extra time to explain what is the problem and what needs to be done. She has done multiple fillings as well as extraction for our son. Our son has never been scared to going back to this clinic. I would highly recommend this to future visitors. read more

Zero stars. I walk into this place today for a teeth cleaning and X-rays. A young lady sits me down in the X-ray room and leaves to get some instruments (that she was going to put in my mouth). While she was gone, I noticed how dusty everything was. It was like the room doesn't get used much. When the young lady returned, she then placed the open instruments on a dusty counter while she put the vest on me. Before she got the chance to put the dust covered instrument in my mouth, I swiped my finger across the counter and showed her how much dust was there. My finger tip was covered. Do not send your children here. I couldn't believe it. When explaining this to who I believe may have been a manager, I received attitude and a back turned, walking away "apology". the young lady at the front desk was very polite. I blame her for nothing. read more

Worse dentist I've ever used. The only 2 fill ins I've gotten cracked. Then went back to fix and they did a different tooth. Literally told me they fucked up because the specific paper work was in the computer. Wouldn't even use this place for a basic cleaning. read more
