They don't disclose pricing fully on things you don't need. They overcharge to the point that it's absurd and they use a reputation manager to filter their reviews in other apps. They participate in a fake website that contains only positive reviews - it's called "consumer guide to dentistry" and hides any negative and potentially inflammatory experiences. I won't discuss the fraud here. What "services" they provided and what they charge for - both you and insurance - are 2 separate things. I get on average 9 pieces of mail from them a week.

That's the beauty of Yelp. This is all about MY experience, you are welcome to respond and then…read morereaders can make their own judgement. Thanks for your response but I disagree. Three members of my family have been to you. Myself, my 20 year old son and my wife who started her career as a dental assistant and knows a little something about dental work. You can point the finger back at the patient, their dental care and their previous dentist but I'm guessing most people would be interested to know that all 3 of us had work done by you that had to be redone within those 3 years. You call it unprofessional for the dentist to call out? I find it refreshing that a dentist wouldn't try to overlook work done by another dentist. Your description of how you handle your phobic patients and how things are great just wasn't my experience. I had a terrible experience with you, each of my visits I felt like you didn't listen and I was a pain. I was by the way as I noted in my original review, I just don't need to be made to feel that way. My last visit I asked for another shot to numb me and you huffed and puffed, gave me a shot and disappeared to treat someone else, leaving me sitting there. I found you to be not at all patient friendly, just my opinion. Again on your work, people can decide for themselves but work all three of us are having done is not covered by insurance, because they ruled they already paid for it.

In my 20's I broke my 2 front teeth and got them bonded. In my 30's I needed braces due to earlier health issues. Fast forward to now at 51 finding Dr Zev Segal who truly is Magical!!! I have had my 2 front teeth bonded over and over for the past 4 years, every 6 months. I had finally had enough and researched the best Dentists in NJ. I came across The Art of Smile and put my faith in all of the positive reviews. The moment you walk in the door you are greeted with such a genuine greeting ( through masks of course). The women at the Front Desk are so professional and a pleasure to work with. Timing is impeccable with your appointment and then there is Dr. Segal along with Bonnie who are the Dynamic Duo! Dr. Segal went over all of the benefits of getting Veneers to correct all of my issues I had been going through. He even introduced me to his wife who had Veneers done over 20 years ago and looked fantastic. I was able to work out financing and within 2 weeks my teeth are Spectacular!! The execution start to finish was flawless. I am so thankful I found The Art of Smile, and so will you.

Absolutely do not recommend this practice…read more I ended up here for an emergency appointment in March of 2024. I went back for a cleaning & they talked me into spending $900 out of pocket for perio trays, which were going to heal my gums, and "push the gel up into the gums" I used the trays but never saw any improvement. Went back to a previous dentist that was in network & now closer to where I moved. They asked me when my last cleaning was, and I said March of 2024. They said that some of my build up was black, meaning it has been there for quite a while and there's no way the previous place did any level of quality cleaning. I told them about the perio trays, and they had never even heard of them and said that it was absolutely impossible for anything to be pushed up into the gums like Art of Smile convinced me the perio trays do. At this time, they referred me to a periodontist for an evaluation because of gum inflammation & bleeding and I had a deep scaling done & gums already feel & look better in TWO WEEKS with 90% less bleeding. Periodontist never heard of Perio trays either. In summary, The Art of Smile: - Didn't do a quality teeth cleaning - Wasted $900 dollars out of pocket for something that wasn't even capable of what they claimed - Never mentioned that they didn't take my insurance, so everything was taken out of my small out of network amount - Didn't inform me of the level of my gum issue - Didn't refer me to a periodontist or recommend a deep cleaning - Had to chase them for months for a receipt for FSA - which disabled my card for months, then couldn't even provide me with an itemized receipt (HOW?) - There was a small space between two of my teeth, AOS told me I should just replace both teeth to fill in the gap. That gap was caused by my gum inflammation and will close as my gums heal after the deep scaling. - When I complained to them, they didn't even apologize. Just told me they'd remove me from their list & have a good day. All of these things, allowed my condition to worsen. This practice is absolutely deplorable, and the fact that you can't hold any of these horrible places accountable is astonishing. I don't ever write reviews, but I don't want anyone else to go through what I went through and waste their time or money.

He (Shumantov), doesn't seem to value me, as a patient, although I have to pay money from own pocket for treatment. Dr. Shumantov shows up late for my appointments, and I he never calls to check on the status of my oral health. So many of these so-called/alternative dentists, seem to big hustlers. So, would not recommend this particular dentist, on the account of my experience with him. We have be very careful when choosing doctors and dentists etc. Some I will have to say, are discriminatory, in the way they treat certain patients, of different ethnic groups. I will search for a more quality dentist, who cares about his patients. Alot of them give poor care, yet charge high fees. They don't accept most health insurance plans. Well, this is all I want to say. So, please take heed, and be careful. Thank you. We live in such a capitalistic and materialistic society, where we don't have care for fellow humans. There needs to be a restructuring of values, as Dr. M.L. King, Jr., beautifully pointed out. Well that's all I need to say. .
