I was afraid to go here because there were no reviews. Now I've gone and wanted to post a review…read more They are a preferred provider with my BCBS dental insurance. I got in for a check up right away, and had two teeth in serious shape. They scheduled me for a cleaning but before that came about, one of my bad teeth became very painful. They got me in right away for a root canal. It turned out that the tooth could not be saved, and it had to be pulled because it was fractured. Not what I would call a fun day, but Dr. Patel and Sherry, the hygienist and assistant, made me feel very comfortable, and the office staff was very accommodating and helpful. Unfortunately, I'll be seeing a lot of them!

I visited IVOMS as a returning patient for implant placement in my two lateral incisors on the top…read morein May 2017. Dr. James Vaiana placed both implants and things seemed fine for awhile, before I realized one had failed in early 2018. I had to get a third opinion before I was made aware of the fact the implant had been placed directly against my front tooth, causing substantial bone loss that risked me losing the rest of my front teeth at 22 years old. I went under for maybe 6 more surgeries, one of which he changed the procedure to a rare one without my consent while under sedation. He performed ramus grafting, in which he cut a chunk of my lower jaw out and drilled it into the front of my face. Upon review a year or so later, the bone was never actually attached to my skull and was openly visible and floating at the front of my gums, as seen in the photo attached. I had to undergo extensive and intense reconstructive surgery of my gums by a top oral surgeon elsewhere who was able to correct this horrendous job. In October 2024, I realized that the other implant was showing official signs of failure, and contacted the dentist who got me out of the malpractice mess last time, and he was able to confirm that the same thing was happening again. This implant was placed at the very front of my gums, almost missing my upper jaw entirely (as seen in the photo attached). The fact that you didn't see metal protruding out of my face was absolutely incredible. This resulted in me having emergency reconstructive surgery AGAIN, and the entire process has cost me over $30,000 to correct. Dr. James Vaiana not only broke my trust in the greatest way, but he stole my smile, my confidence, and my ability to even eat. I truly believed for a period of time that he had my best interest in mind, but I learned too late that he did every single surgery negligently. I would not wish this pain, trauma, and financial destruction on anyone. Dr. James Vaiana does not deserve to be licensed, and I pray that no one else goes through what I did. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. He absolutely destroyed me in every way possible over the last 8 years and even into my future, and I will NEVER recommend people going here as a former dental professional and as a former resident of the IV.

I had 5 wisdom teeth removed in 2016. I was told my 6th wisdom tooth was "too close" to my sinuses…read moreto be removed--that's fine. I was NOT told that one of my wisdom teeth was impacted and part of my lower jaw was cut out to remove the wisdom tooth. I did not discover this until years later. Shortly after the procedure, I had dry socket which was the worst pain imaginable (close to child birth) and my pain was brushed off. Based on my experience and the other reviews, I would NOT recommend this office!!!

I don't even know where to begin, this was truly a 10/10 experience…read more I came in for an emergency dental visit, and they took me in immediately, no hassle, no runaround. Even though the office was clearly busy, I never once felt rushed or like just another patient on a list. The entire team was incredibly attentive and genuinely focused on making sure I was comfortable and okay. I ended up needing a crown, and they handled everything right then and there, no temporary fix, no waiting weeks for a crown. The fact that they were able to complete the entire procedure on the spot was impressive on its own, but what stood out even more was the quality of the work and the care behind it. Jackie and Dr. Rob were exceptional. They walked me through everything, made sure I felt at ease, and checked in constantly throughout the process. For something that could have been stressful, they made it seamless. I'm beyond grateful for the level of professionalism, efficiency, and compassion I experienced. Couldn't recommend them more. Thank you again! Ps: even got an eye mask and hand mask to relax later!
