My elderly father was seen multiple times at Park Ave Smiles in Yonkers for denture fittings and…read moreimpressions. After all that, they told us they could no longer see him there and forced us to go to their Bronx location. The Bronx office was hot, poorly ventilated, and unsafe for my father who can not tolerate heat and nearly passed out. Even worse, the Bronx location had no record of his previous treatment and told us he had to start all over. This shows a complete lack of professionalism, care, and coordination. The experience was traumatic for my father and extremely frustrating for me. I would not recommend this practice to anyone, especially not for elderly or vulnerable patients.

Several times I had to tell her the suction wasn't set right as I was consistently gagging from the excessive saliva in my mouth, as well as getting splashed in my face. Her response, the water pressure was too high. When polishing my teeth, she caught my hair in the machine and I had to pull it to make her stop. Each time I expressed my concerns she responded rudely, even told me I have a problem. The dentist was polite and expressed his apologies. My mouth still hurts a day later.

They never answer the phone so if you have an emergency forget it. I only came here and stayed here for a few years because it was the only dental office that accepted my insurance but boy do I regret it. In my time going there, I had to have a tooth pulled, I was told I could no longer get regular cleanings only deep cleanings because my gums were so bad but when they submitted X-rays to my insurance company for approval in paying for a deep cleaning it was denied because my gums actually didn't need it. They bill you for things your insurance company already paid for and when you call back to ask for a refund they pass your call from person to person. It wasn't until I had my insurance company filed a claim that they felt the need to acknowledge their error. I 100% feel the only reason people go here is because dental expenses can be a lot but I learned from experience leaving this dental office has been the best thing I have done for not only my teeth but for my happiness. But trying to get my own dental records back to give to my new dental office was also a draining process over the phone. I had to physically show up at the office to ask for my paperwork because they didn't take me serious over the phone. Now that I left I feel more confident with my new dentist and even though they don't take my insurance and I have to pay out of pocket, I'm getting what I pay for which is professionalism and honesty about my teeth at my dentist which is never what I felt here.

The procedure was over quickly after they took the time to let the nitrous oxide and novacaine dull my senses. I heard the also offer general anesthesia. I might have considered that if I was having more done. They gave me plenty of time to recover and did not rush me out. They sent me home with an ice pack, some extra gauze and instructions on how to care for the site. Staff was friendly and explained the bill to me before and after (and nothing changed). The doctor even called me at home that evening to see how I was healing. Gentle but strong - good qualities for an oral surgeon. If you need oral surgery, call these guys.

I just had a tooth extraction by oral surgeon Dr. Adam Arnodt and I have nothing but high praise…read morefor this skilled surgeon. He came in introduced himself explained the procedure very polite, very professional. I have a phobia so I begin explaining how much I fear dentists, that my roots are deep, that he will need to give me a pill prior to the needles because my pain threshold is non-existent. And, would he be open to using gas? He replies calmly "no, local anesthesia will work fine." I was given medication in various places around the tooth he stepped out and returned to enable the medication to take effect. He came back and when I thought he was determining the best angle to approach the extraction, he immediately removed the tooth! He was in my mouth with an instrument, and I was waiting for the pain to begin, the pulling, the crunching. I mean it was a wisdom tooth after all! He expertly removed my tooth in seconds. I didn't have time to get scared. I was lulled into a sense of security that completely took away my fear! Or, I was in the hands of a skilled surgeon. You don't often get your teeth extracted but if you must, you want to see Dr. Adam Arnodt at Westchester Smile Design in Yonkers 914-476-3838. His assistant and the entire staff are professional, efficient, courteous and care about their patients.

I had two scheduled appointments here. The first was confirmed automatically, but upon arrival I…read morewas told the office was moving and I could not be seen. The second visit was delayed due to a dental emergency ahead of me, despite me calling an hour before to confirm my appointment. During that visit, I was told by the hygienist that I was the last patient of the day and was essentially encouraged to leave if I wanted. In addition, I felt that several recommended treatments were presented in a way that emphasized optional or cosmetic services that were not clearly necessary for maintaining healthy teeth and were not fully covered by insurance, without clear explanation of priority or urgency. The dentist seems competent, but I experienced repeated scheduling disruptions and a lack of transparency around timing and cost of recommended services

She explained the procedure and the entire process was painless. If I'm not giving the establishment five stars is because of the billing staff. I pay for three separate dental insurances and I know what I have. They based the entire visit on my primary insurance and made me pay over $500 up front. I did billing for 42 years at New York Presbyterian hospital so I know I'll never see that money refunded to me. Because it took me two days to get them on the phone for an appointment, so reaching them for refund when they get the check will be next to impossible. I would still recommend the surgeon because she's very nice, professional and does an amazing job. Just make sure you can afford going there.
