Outstanding. My family has had 10 years of the very best care. An exemplary group of professionals.

My husband had a cap split n fall out. I called Corning Dental Associates for information re: repair and whether he could use his Insurance. The front desk person immediately stated that no decisions could be made because he wld be REQUIRED to have "full mouth xrays, a comprehensive dental exam and a cleaning/ hygiene appt". I started to explain that he has his hygiene, as covered by his insurance, biannually. She stated very firmly that he would be required to have hygiene performed. She repeated three times the RULES required before he could be seen for his broken tooth. Yes, its best For Xrays and a comprehensive exam being necessary. In addition to feeling bullied by this person, it kept going badly. I asked a simple question if whether they accepted insurance payments before we had to pay the bill. "No, he pays and waits for the insurance reimbursement" Soooo they can charge whatever they want and the patient gets "whatever". This phone interaction was the rudest communication I have ever had with a healthcare facility office. As an Rn myself, with a 50 year hospital career and currently working as a fill-in physicians office RN, this pretty much sounded like extortion of persons needing emergency treatment. I asked her twice why he was required to have cleaning despite having this done in our out of state location, she said it was a requirement. That alone would be 100% out of pocket. It was obvious that this dental office puts money as their first and only priority. We were referred by a friend who pays cash and has all her care at the dental associated location. No Thanks. As it is, we wld have to drive an hour in to Corning for care while dreading and assuming mistrust of this group. It felt like upfront extortion! My husband had tongue cancer, radiation to his tongue and full mouth xrays wld need to have been discussed and negotiated by a dentist! This front desk person never asked anything about my husband. Also, his chemo therapy caused significant deafness which was not a yopic I had any chance of mentioning. I was pretty much bullied, Amen Be careful using this group, there are others available with less glitz n glamor! We found another dental office that not only asked about my husband's dental history, they spent time explaining how they needed to know a lot more and yes, they bill insurance company first! Couldn't have been nicer! read more

I have been going to Corning Dental Associates for years and years. We moved away from the area and returning to Corning years later. I tried other dentists in the area for my kids and myself with each experience being never up to the service, the quality of people and their skills and the professionalism of the staff and office never meeting Corning Dental Associates. We have had all sorts of treatments in the decades we have gone to this fabulous dentist group...and all have been relatively pain free and proactive. They also are plugged into a great group of oral surgeons, so our double wisdom teeth extractions (2 kids back to back) was easy, affordable and the patients were up in running in no time with no issues or infections. We now live an hour north of Corning and still make th trek to Corning Dental to continue our relationship and receive the best dental care in the area. read more

I've actually had very bad work done at Corning Dental. I had a chip on my tooth that they told me they needed to fill. They did a composite filling. They clearly were not good at doing a composite filling -- I later learned that they set or dried the tooth improperly. My tooth felt like it was going to explode I was in so much pain. The improperly done composite needed to be removed and re-filled -- this time with amalgam (metal). The second filling worked, but was MUCH larger than the original filling. The tooth is now permanently sensitive. Good for cleanings, but avoid getting work done here. read more

Thanks to a couple of painful cavities, I decided to call up Corning Dental and see what they could do for me. They had me come in the next day and were able to quickly fix my teeth. The dental assistant and Dr. Vargas were so nice, patient, and friendly. I've never been to a dentist who has been personable, so this was a refreshing change. The building is clean, inside and out. The receptionists are kind and professional. I'll recommend this place to everyone!! read more

The only good thing about Corning Dental is the people they picked up in the consolidation of Dr. Doland's office. The original Corning Dental people are obnoxious and unprofessional. Their Dennison Parkway office is disgusting, and there is no privacy. They send out text messages and emails that are rude and unprofessional. The hygienist's (not Dr. Doland's) have been extremely rude to my daughter. And, if you call to check on an insurance approval, they tell you to call the insurance yourself. The people and the place are a mess! Again, the original staff from Dr. Doland's office are incredible and the only reason I continue to utilize this dental office. read more

I've been using Corning Dental Assoc. since the 1980's. My father was an oral surgeon and I was spoiled by having access to quality dental care. Corning Dental is as good as it gets, I travel extensively and live in different parts of the country at times, but always come to Corning for my dental work. They are really interested in providing quality care. read more
