I have been grateful a patient of Dr. Chernow's for almost 15 years, and my sole regret is that I hadn't written this review sooner.
Dr Chernow saved my teeth. ALL of my teeth. I had had years of orthodontia in my early teens to align my bite, but as a result of abnormally high bite pressure my teeth were worn and pitted. Despite daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental care, I couldn't chew without pain, my mouth looked terrible, and my bite was collapsing.
I had several dentists throughout the years, and none had recommended anything more than a cap, crown or filling for individual teeth. After moving and on my first visit, my then new dentist told me that he wouldn't attempt to correct my issues and that no other regular dentist should have. He said I had architectural problems and NEEDED a specialist. He then referred me to Dr. Chernow for reconstruction.
Dr. Chernow diagnosed my situation and crafted a plan to rebuild my bite in stages over the course of approximately two years. As I had no experience with Dr. Chernow and as this was both an expensive and time consuming proposition, I contacted a friend who heads the dentistry program at a major Philadelphia teaching hospital to get a second opinion. He referred me to specialist whose diagnosis and recommendations were essentially identical to Dr. Chernow's, which gave me comfort to proceed. And Dr. Chernow's work was, and is, excellent.
Dr. Chernow is more than merely an exceedingly competent dental specialist. He also has refined artistic sensibilities: He assesses color, shape, symmetry, and other aesthetic considerations to achieve natural looking results. Although he's incredibly busy, he's never in a rush. And he has a gentle touch: Despite his having rebuilt literally all of my teeth, I have never endured an inordinately painful experience under his care.
In short, while there may be other dentists as good as Dr. Bruce Chernow, I do not believe there are better. If he's not the best, then there's a tie. read more
