I was sent to Dr. Figueroa by my dentist at Princeton…read more The problem was - a cracked tooth that needed extraction and implant placement thereafter. Upper left. I read all about implants and when I saw the doctor and spoke to him, he knew every single bit of information I was prepared to ask about. A smart gentlemen! He gave comprehensive and detailed information, no BS, just substance. Extraction was a breeze. Started with no-pain anesthesia (Raul is using a cool technique to make sure you don't feel pain from the needle). Tooth was out in no time. Bone graft in place. Stitches were placed so quickly I did not have time to notice (confident stitches are a sign of a very skilled surgeon). Healing was pain free. I did not use any pain meds and all pain was gone by day 3. Bone graft was installed perfectly and tooth was ready for implant in 3 months. Next, the implant. 3D scan, surgery on the same day, did not use pain meds at home, was pain-free after about 3 days. A week after placing the implant I felt my mouth free from any hints I had surgery. I am very impressed. Dr. Figueroa is a thinking surgeon with outstanding hands. A.K. PS I just saw he won "best in New Jersey" award, what else can I add.

Dr. Levine is unethical and does not care about the well being of his patients. If he did, he would…read morehave suggested I keep my wisdom teeth embedded in my jaw when my incompetent and careless orthodontist referred me to him again for wisdom teeth removal. Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed. For some, the risks don't outweigh the benefits. I had a rare and complicated orthodontic case with 4 premolars removed and then when I was 14, Dr. Levine did surgery to expose my 4 impacted canine teeth. At age 18, I questioned Dr. Levine about whether I should get my wisdom teeth removed - shouldn't I try to keep them? Finally he doubtfully said I could try but that I'd definitely need braces again. He is not an orthodontist, and if he were being honest, he would have told me either way I would need braces again. After feeling ashamed about my teeth for my entire adolescence there was nothing I wanted less than to have braces again. That convinced me. That was stupid, they're called wisdom teeth for a reason. I now have gaps in my upper teeth that opened shortly after my wisdom teeth was removed. I remember the last time I saw my pediatric dentist, which was a few months after I got my wisdom teeth removed, he said he was EXCITED about my wisdom teeth. I said quietly I got them removed. Later, I was in the chair and he was looking at my mouth, almost looking to see if my wisdom teeth were growing in when I complained about the gap that had opened up between my two front teeth. He said OH, that will close up when your wisdom teeth grow in. Well, then I made it clear they were gone and he had a horrified look on his face. He was clearly upset this was done to me. My upper 2nd molar is now twisted out toward my cheek on one side because there is so much space behind it where my wisdom teeth would have likely grown in fine. When I go to the dentist, they lament "you poor thing" "what happened to you" and pity me. Thanks to Doctor Levine who did not care enough to give me good advice and instead chose to line his own pockets. Dr. Levine was trained as a dentist was and he knew this along with jaw issues would happen to me. Now that my brain and jaws are fully developed, I realize I was treated like I was done growing at 12 years old and this gave me the false idea that I could never be enough. He loves ripping peoples teeth out a bit too much. He chooses money over the health of his patients. Doctors will lie and give unsound medical advice for money and to make their jobs easier. Dr. Levine is in on this corruption. I suggest avoiding this place on principle.

This is a bit of a long story, will attempt to make it as concise as possible…read more Started with mild discomfort. Saw my regular dentist. He saw issues with 2 teeth. One was a prior root canal & other showed a suspicious possible infection. He referred me to an endodontist. They confirmed issue with prior root canal & agreed issue with adjacent tooth & mentioned a cyst that had to be addresed. Said both teeth need to be extracted. The extraction of both teeth would be followed up with implants. They advised seeing implant specialist & have him extract both teeth & prepare for implant. Went to implant guy. He confirmed prior opinions. All this time I had no pain or discomfort. Per my dentist I'd been on Amoxicillin and it appeared to mitigate the infection & pain. He said both teeth need to come out, but he was unable to do extractions & suggested I see an oral surgeon. My wife had seen Dr. Sasportas' associate last year. Called his office. Had initial consultation with Dr. Sasportas. He was very patient very calm & confident demeanor. After looking at x-rays he was confident he could repair prior root canal with no extraction. Other tooth was inconclusive re: extraction but thought it would probably need to come out. He also explained the infection & cyst was a big problem due to proximity to my eye. If cyst burst I could lose vision in that eye. He was very patient & answered all of my questions. Scheduled surgical appointment for following week. At surgical appointment De. Sasportas reviewed everything with me. Again very patient calm demeanor. He also reassured me the procedure would be painless.All through the procedure he was speaking to me updating me on progress & reassuring me all was going according to plan & his expectations. When he was done he surprised me telling me he was able to remove infected area behind the tooth & no extractions were necessary. I had 1 dentist telling me looked like I may need 2 teeth extracted. I had 2 specialist confirming 2 teeth-needed to be extracted followed by 2 implants. And Dr. Sasportas says, No Extraction required. I left his office with all my teeth in place & 6 stitches in my gum. Following the surgery I experienced ZERO PAIN. Not even minor discomfort requiring no pain meds not even Tylenol. As he said, there'd be no pain he was right. Job well done- start to finish.

It saddens me to write this review due to my very short interaction with Dr. Erakat. I brought my…read more15-year-old daughter into Dr. Erakat's office to remove her wisdom teeth for a consultation. I did a lot of research on dental surgeons in NJ, and we were impressed with his reviews and expertise. Unfortunately, Dr. Erakat's lack of bedside manner and professionalism has deterred my daughter and me from moving forward with the surgery with his practice. Dr. Erakat walked into the room and immediately started to talk about my daughter's dental images. This was our first time at the office, we'd never met him before, and a preschooler would've known to walk in and at least say, "Hi, how are you? I'm Dr. Erakat" then lead into your spiel. So he came in and started talking at us, talking as if my daughter was an adult like I wasn't in the room, and he never checked to see if we had any knowledge about anesthesia or the procedure in general. After he finished talking at us, I looked at him and said, "Hello, nice to meet you," to give him a hint that he was shrewd and rude. Dr. Erakat spent maybe 5 minutes with us in total. He was very short, especially when I informed him that my daughter would be having a deviated septum surgery and asked him if there was a preference to have one of the surgeries before the other and the waiting period between surgeries. I've worked with and have seen an array of doctors, and unfortunately, Dr. Erakat was one of the rudest I've encountered. If the person going to perform surgery on my child can't give her the time and attention she deserves to make her feel comfortable, I don't want them anywhere near her. We will NOT return nor recommend this dental office. I don't know if Dr. Erakat is just really busy or if he didn't want to work with us. Either way, we will find a dentist that greets us, takes the time to explain the procedure, and someone who actually wants to work with us.

Stay away from this company. Look at all the 1-star reviews and avoid the troubles others had…read moreexperienced! If I can give a negative star, I would give a -5 star for this review! In my case, my son had a procedure done in mid 2020 and the company filed the claim directly with my insurance. I didn't receive an invoice for any balance. So I assumed the insurance covered in full and thus the $1500 I set aside in my FSA for that year went to waste. Fast forward 4 year later, in May of 2024, I received a debt collector notice that I owe nearly $1000 for the balance. The company failed to invoice me in 2020 so now they just use collector to harass me! The collector threaten to damage my credit score by reporting my debt if I don't pay. In the end, not only did I waste my FSA money in 2020, I have to pay almost $1000 to get rid of the collector and the harassment. Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery of Central NJ is the scum of the earth and I sincerely hope they go out of business soon. I will report them to the BBB and I urge others to do the same because this type of business victimizes customers and shouldn't be allowed to exist.

I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Andrew Steinkeler to get all four of my wisdom teeth extracted…read more I was worried, as my case was a bit complicated (I am 24 years old, which means the teeth are deeply rooted than when I was a teenager), plus my wisdom teeth were impacted. I reviewed the bios online and decided to go with Dr. Steinkeler. I visited him in all three offices: Fort Washington for the consultation, Warminster to do another xray and review the results, and Newtown to do the actual surgery. Dr. Steinkeler is sooo nice and truly cares about his patients. He eased all of my worries as best as he could and made sure to tell me everything that was going on before, during, and after the procedure. He made me feel really comfortable, and I am now four days post surgery and I have very minimal pain. I have told everyone my experience and no one I know has had it as easy as me. Recovery has been going smoothly (1000% better than I expected). I didn't have too much swelling, and he gave me extra numbness the day of surgery so that I wouldn't feel ANY discomfort the first day. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Steinkeler to anyone looking to get their wisdom teeth extracted.

I have been going to this practice for 30 years, back when it was Dr. Coppolla's practice when he…read moreworked with Karen Winterfield. The practice was sold to Simply Beautiful Smiles (and apparently now the Smilist.) At first the highly corporatized organization was acceptable, but I'm beginning to have my doubts. I was told I needed a "deep cleaning" for gum disease, although, having had gum disease at other points in my life, because of poor practices that I improved in response to the disease, I have observed no bleeding when flossing, or sensitivity in recent years. The "deep cleaning" didn't strike me as particularly different than any other cleaning, but it did involve a rather large out of pocket expense, which I paid. I was not told that I now needed to come in - for the rest of my life - every four months, and that I now need to pay for a special cleaning each time I go. I grudgingly paid, but again, it didn't strike me as different than any normal cleaning of the types I've had regularly for my entire adult life. I also had to wait quite a long time in the dental chair to get it; about 40 minutes. It didn't strike me as particularly different than the cleanings I've had over the last 30 years. In fact the hygienist said my teeth and gums looked good. I did not spit out any blood with the cleaning. Before the cleaning, doctor there - there seems to be a different one each time I go - looked in my mouth for about 45 seconds, said I had plaque and needed to come every four months. That was it. This conflicted with the statement made by the hygienist. I'm not confident in what I'm being sold. Unlike earlier years, my teeth never bleed when flossing. I haven't noticed any problems. They have my dental records for 30 years, and I'm not sure how and if these records can be transferred, but I am thinking of getting a second opinion, hopefully at less corporate practice. They have high technology, but I'm not sure if the goal is generating revenue rather than providing good or excellent patient care.

I had extraction of one molar because a cavity was formed on its root…read more Even though injection of anesthesia was done, the extraction was very extraordinarily painful, or I was almost no endurance. In my past, I had many experience of tooth extraction which were not much painful, but this time was different. The oral surgeon was Dr Brian who did at The Smilist office (or The Simply Beautiful Smiles of Lawrenceville). If it is so much painful because of its location or some reason, it should be done at whole body anesthesia or having sedation pill or something effective one.
