I couldn't possibly overstate my positive impressions of Evydent. I'm a new patient, two visits so far, and both have been markedly superior to any dentistry experiences I've had in over fifty years. The facility is immaculate, as though it opened yesterday instead of ten years ago. Every single employee I encountered was professional, courteous and wore a smile, as if they enjoyed and were proud of their work. My appointments were honored with precision and I was able to plan around them with accuracy. I received excellent maintenance advice which proved useful and effective. I'm actually looking forward to returning! read more

This practice is money hungry like other reviewers have said. I went for a cleaning and was lectured for an hour about removing a baby tooth and putting in an implant-- a procedure I did not ask about-- before anyone got to work on cleaning my teeth. I had taken time out of my work day and the appointment took twice as long as expected because of this. I was quoted $10k for a procedure I will never pursue. If you're looking for regular dental care I recommend going elsewhere. read more

I came in for a routine dental cleaning. I had such a positive experience! Each person I spoke with was down to earth, knowledgable, kind, explained everything in detail, and friendly. I didn't feel rushed and I feel like they actually care. Highly recommend! read more

Upon arrival I filled out some paperwork and then they brought me to the back to be serviced. Had a deep cleaning and they were knowledgeable about my concerns. It was not painful at all. read more

at evydent, the doctor, assistants and staff are extremely professional. They take their time to check every inch of your mouth/teeth. They give you recommendations on dental hygiene and keep detailed records. I will definitely be back with my family. The best part of it all is that they respect your time. They truly go by appointments. My appointment was at 4pm, I arrived around 3:50 and I was in a room by 4:05. Highly recommend. read more

This practice is money hungry! I went last year while I was pregnant just for a cleaning. They attempted to pressure me into getting more work done than I needed at the time. I said no several times. Fast forward today. I made an appointment for myself, husband and son. I had a family emergency that came up today, a day before my appointment. I called to reschedule and they will be charging me $100 for the canceling two appointments, although I wanted to reschedule, so I also canceled my son's appointment. The lesson for me is that I should've listened to my gut and not attempted to go back. If you go be prepared to have the dentist and staff treat you great while they pressure you to get expensive work done that you do not need. Also be wary of their cancellation policy. read more

I have no idea why the overall rating for this practice is so low! Dr Evy and the staff are fantastic. They're always warm & kind, and they replaced night guards that turned out to be too thin for my vigorous tooth grinding at no additional charge. The office is nice and clean and well equipped, and the experience of going there is easily 1000x better than going to the only other place I've been in Inwood. read more

I'm leaving a review because I was SHOCKED to see Evydent only had a 3-star rating! I won't totally dismiss other people's experiences, but that's been nothing like my experience at Evydent. BACKSTORY: I've always been embarrassed by my teeth, and I didn't have great oral hygiene growing up. I grew up largely without parents/adults around by the time I was in middle school, so nobody was really teaching me good habits or checking up on me. By the time I came to NYC for college, I had to get tons of fillings every few years. And because I'd move to a new apartment each year and my insurance would change, I was going to a new dentist each time. I've been to a range of dentists; I've seen rude receptionists, I've seen deceptive billing, I've seen dentists talk down to me or rush through work or ignore me completely or try to upsell me on things I don't need. EXPERIENCE: Dr. Evy is NONE of those things! Evydent is the first dentist's office I've found that made me feel comfortable. I won't say I look forward to going (it is, after all, still the dentist), but I don't dread it--which is huge for me. PRICING: The first thing I noticed that was different about Evydent is that they are always very clear about showing the costs of the procedures in advance, before starting any work. Dr. Evy is honest and straightforward. When I had a filling on a wisdom tooth she gave me two options: fill the cavity but may need to remove the tooth later (cheaper option today) or pull the wisdom tooth now (slightly more expensive but likely cheaper in the long run). When I asked if I needed to remove all 4, she said not unless the other 3 were causing me pain. CUSTOMER SERVICE: I find that all the staff have been super friendly and pleasant. They're understanding when I'm running late, they have payment plans if you need it, they always ask how I'm doing and take time to talk to me. Dr. Evy and I have bonded over what it's like to run a small business and the garish home renovations on TLC; Dr. Passman actually knows where I work and asks me about it each time. I just called with a question about my Invisalign, and Stephanie (the office manager?) answered the phone FROM HOME in the middle of a pandemic and is passing my question on to Dr. Passman for me. I wish I remembered the names of the hygienists (apologies if that's not their actual title), but there's one I always have for Dr. Evy and one who assists Dr. Passman--both always make me smile and help relax me when I first get in. I don't leave many Yelp reviews. I usually only leave reviews when I'm angry at a place. But, if anything, I'm angry that Evydent has 1-star reviews on Yelp. People should know about this place! One thing I've learned from years of moving from dentist to dentist is that EVERY dentist likes to complain about the previous dentists' work. I think Dr. Evy said something about whoever did my previous fillings. I don't pay much mind to it anymore because, while I'm sure quality does vary, I also think every dentist probably thinks they do superior work. In any case, I hope I'm done moving from dentist to dentist. Even though I no longer live in Inwood, I still commute from 132nd and 5th Ave to see Dr. Evy and Dr. Passman in Inwood. read more

Went to Evy's practice to service what I was told was a high end porcelain crown that cracked. My options were to consider getting an implaiint or have the tooth extracted for good. I opted to have the tooth removed. I recently had some discomfort in that area and went to get a second look from another practice. They took a full mouth 3D X-ray and advised me that the service Evy, performed was done poorly. Tooth fragments were left in my jaw, which now has left a noticeable lump along my jaw line. to make matters worse, the area where the tooth was extracted never healed properly causing the gums to separate and reopen. Wasted money for poor work, and now I have to find a new dentist and pay to have them fix someones else's mistake. read more

Doctor Evy is painless,brilliant,comprehensive and charming

I should have only given one star the first time around. Horribly unethical practice. Was diagnosed with 5 cavities to start. When I came back to have the right side of my mouth filled (only 2 cavities), was told I actually had 1 additional on that side, so they filled 3. Then I was told I also had cavities in my wisdom teeth. I asked how many wisdom teeth... Evy told me "all of them", and my choice was to extract them all, or treat them. How did I go from having 5 cavities, to 10 in a very short amount of time? I regret having any work done at all. When I got my second opinion, I was diagnosed with ZERO cavities! So upset, even years later. Wasted money, and weakened my teeth for life. The "small" cavities seem to have quite large fillings, so my guess is they hope to have more issues later on they can pull even more money from. Never again. I should have reported the practice years ago, unfortunately I passed my opportunity. Unethical, shame on them for abusing people who are trusting them to care for their health. On top of this, it was the most uncomfortable fillings I received. I was anxious the whole time. read more

They left my two year old waiting for almost 2 hours after her appointment time and quoted both my wife an I to have root canals that two different dentists said weren't necessary. I wish they were better because the location is convenient for us, but they tried sneaking in multiple unnecessary procedures to squeeze more money out of us. It's worth going to the UWS to a dentist that's less dishonest. read more

As it turns out, my newest dentist in LA (Dr. Jamie Sands, who is highly respected for treating difficult cases) has let me know all my prior fillings were poorly made and installed. And that almost every single thing about them is wrong. So that's great. That I spent 5 figures at Dr. Evy's office to have to redo 100% of her work with another dentist. read more

THE WORST OF THR WORST!!!!! These people are rude and no follow up is given. It seems like you need to chase these people down to get your insurance questions answered. I also find it strange that I cleaned my teeth three times a year and my old dentist said everything was fine; and he's just watching ONE tooth. I come here and I need 4 teeth worked on and a fifth needs a crown? What???? While it's all free for me to have this done, this is very shady. Customer service here is the WORST and I believe they involve in SHADY practices with your teeth. read more

I have been here several times now and every time the staff and dentists are competent, professional, and courteous. Like many people, I can get anxious in the chair but everyone here helps me feel comfortable and that my teeth are in good hands. read more

Dr. Evy is a fantastic dentist who genuinely cares about her patients and well-being. Iori is the best hygienist I have ever gone to - very thorough and gentle. I have been to many dentists in the city and am so glad to have found EvyDent. Highly recommend. The hours are good for scheduling appointments and there are no surprise costs. The office staff will always do a consultation before they do any services. I get the fluoride treatment every visit which is an extra $40 with UFT/Cigna. read more

Evydent Dentistry is awesome. The team is fully knowledgable of all the procedures being done. The offices are clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this team to handle all of your dental needs. Andre Newsome read more

This is the best dentist I've ever been to. The employees are extremely friendly and welcoming. The technology was awesome. The doctors were thorough and took the time to explain everything. I have had three crowns put on by previous dentists and had to return due to pain. These dentists fixed one of my crowns and I did not have to come back to have it adjusted. I am very pleased with their quality of work and professionalism. I would recommend everyone I know to visit this dentist. read more

Outstanding place, wonderful receptionist immaculate waiting area,I would recommend this place to anyone I had a root canal and it didn't even hurt the best part you can watch TV while getting your teeth worked on read more

Dr. Evy has been my dentist for 6 yrs. Friendly, ethical staff. Give them a try :) you won't regret it.

I love my dentist, Dr. Evy. And I think I've never liked a dentist before. So friendly, so professional, so passionate about her work. I have been going to her for four years and I have never had any but the best experience. read more

Great work. Pleasant staff. Couldn't have had a better experience. Highly recommend. Thanks so much Dr E.

Our first encounter with Evydent was wonderful. As we've become regulars though, we've come to realize that they are extremely aggressive about follow up and possibly unnecessary treatments, and making sure that you schedule another visit for more. I still highly recommend this place for routine cleaning, check ups, etc, but if you have additional needs then maybe go somewhere a bit less pushy. On the positives, its very clean, brand new, and they are great with kids. read more

Horrible customer service. Rude and dismissive. There's too many other options for dentist offices to have to put up with rude receptionists. read more

They have a great facilities and staff, but they are out to get your money. Their 48 business hour cancellation policy is ludicrous and they charge you $50. They convinced me I needed 4 fillings. I went for 2 then got a second opinion where I was told none were necessary. I'm disappointed that a local Inwood business would treat its customers this way. I will not return. read more

I agree with what Magdeline R wrote last year -- I went for the first time last year and had a cleaning, photos and x-rays. At that time I was told that I had a small cavity that needed filling. I hadn't had a cavity in a dozen years - but okay. I had it filled. I went back 6 months later for a cleaning and exam. At that time, I declined the x-rays, as I don't like to have too many x-rays in one year. This time I was told that I now have two cavities in my upper wisdom teeth, and I should either have them filled or extracted. Oddly - my brother also began going to this dentist and was told the EXACT same thing! Two cavities in his top wisdom teeth and he should either have them filled or extracted. I thought perhaps they had gotten the x-rays mixed up. I was assured there was no mix-up. There are two cavities in my wisdom teeth that are appearing on my x-rays. My question that remains unanswered is if these cavities are showing up on my x-rays why wasn't I told this at the time the x-rays were taken. Why did they wait six months to tell me I have two cavities? Sounds like a lie, negligence, or incompetence. I'm still waiting for an answer.... One more thing -- on my second cleaning, halfway through the cleaning, the hygienist left the room to clean someone else's teeth, and then came back about 30 minutes later to finish cleaning mine. I do not trust them. read more

The dentists at Evydent push unnecessary procedures and do not have adequate training for the procedures they are "selling." The dentists are not professionals, despite their dental degrees, but are out to make the most money off each patient. If you have questions on why they would like to perform a procedure, they do not explain why it is necessary, only tell you its necessary. My advise to all is to seek a second opinion for anything beyond a routine cleaning. The dental practice is a money making machine. read more

Pros This place gets one star for the modern facility and cleanliness. The other star goes to the Hygienist, the best cleaning I've ever had in my life. I was also pleased with the fillings, Dr. Evy did an amazing job. Cons. I was told I need to get a root canal, and an inlay among other things which could have cost me thousands of dollars. I got my cleaning and the fillings I needed but went else where for a second opinion. Turns out, all i needed was another filling. Shame on them for their money- hungry unethical practice. Get a second opinion on any major work. Beautiful place, friendly staff...they are fantastic for a cleaning or fillings. But do not trust them, get a second opinion. read more

Dr. Evy was extremely rough when I told her she was hurting my gums but told me that I was just being sensitive. She then told me I needed a root canal. I went and got a second AND THIRD opinion and they both told me I just needed a filling. One of the receptionists was incredibly rude and unhelpful. One star for cleanliness and incredibly kind, professional and thorough dental hygienist. read more

Nice office and AMAZING and very personable hygienist, but I have to repeat what many people have already warned against--this practice is in the practice of making money through unnecessary procedures. My husband, children, and I went to Evydent over the course of three years and I was thrilled with the nice office and excellent teeth cleanings, but we kept on getting overcharged for services based on the amounts that the office had agreed upon as in-network providers with our insurance. Whenever I questioned the amounts I was being charged, I was met attitude by the reception staff. In retrospect, with the better knowledge of how our dental insurance works that I now have, it makes me sick to think of the thousands of dollars that we unnecessarily shelled out to this office. I truly regret how long it took me to clue in to what was going on, but at the very least I learned from the experience. Also, I know two other families, that embarrassingly, I referred to the practice, who were given treatment plans that were going to cost them thousands of dollars. When they went somewhere else for a second opinion, they were told that they need minimal, if any work done. It's been a couple of years since I stopped going to Evydent, but I still have such a bitter taste in my mouth over the experience, I felt it worth my time to write this review and warn others away. read more

It seems, from my family's experience as well as the experience of other patients I've talked to, that this dentist "invents" fictional problems (cavities, root canals) that they need to "fix". However, other dentists never corroborate these problems. Evydent pressures the patients into fixing these "problems" right then and there, sometimes even starting the procedure before disclosing its cost, which they insist be paid immediately. Later on, the patient has to expend more money at another dentist, just to repair the damage done at Evydent. This business is a scam. read more

Great dental work, poor customer service. Look somewhere else.

I have visited this dentist with my children and for myself! It's amazing! Every staff member is caring and patient! My son had a previous horrible experience at another dental office and his new experience was fantastic! They made it easy and comfortable! My daughter visited the dentist for the first time and she was following directions as they played along with her through the entire process! I wish I had this experience as a child, but am glad I have it now for my children!! Thanks to all the staff!! read more

Went in today for a regular cleaning!! I loved the whole experience i didnt feel rushed they took their time with my teeth which i really appreciated! They are also not pushy she did offer some products but didnt try to push on me which I absolutely loved!! Will definitely be returning and i highly recommend they also have convenient hours and booking an appt was a breeze read more

Clean and efficient office, top-notch hygeniest named Mychelle, and a dentist named Evy whose humor and professionalism will put you at ease. read more

I take my five year old daughter to see Evy for check ups and cleanings. she has an excellent manner with kids, sits and chats with them for a little before starting the exam, explains what she will do, and the tools she will use. after the cleaning kids can take a treat from a toy box in the exam room. the office is very clean and modern, and the staff are friendly. read more

I wanted to like this dental office because I live in the neighborhood but unfortunately like most reviewers have noted there are several reasons to avoid this place. Because the office looks cheery and nice one can get fooled by the nice aesthetics of the place but behind their nice smiles its all about the money. First I was told I had a few cavities and needed to take care of that however since I have no issues my whole long life I was a little skeptical so I got a second opinion and was told from another dentist that I did not have a cavity. However the worst part of this place is the office manager named stephanie. I have been going to dental, medical offices throughout my life around different parts of the country and have never experience rudeness like this women. She would argue with me and other customers about payments, insurance, schedule, appointments you name it. I thought I was on a hidden camera show it was so ridiculous. I have no idea why this women is still working there but that blames goes to the owners of this horrible place. read more

Dr. Migadaki is the BEST dentist in Inwood. If you want a competent, kind, professional staff, excellent treatment, then you will be in the right place Evydent Dentistry is top notch. The office is gorgeous and has state of the art dental equipment. And the staff is especially gentle with skittish patients. read more

The reception as a new patient who had not been to the dentist in a long time was very professional and respectful. They asked good questions to understand my mouth issues and explained things id good detail. I would have liked a little more but they were responsive to my questions. They were flexible to do an intake and cleaning and didn't feel rushed or like I was having services "pushed down my throat". Their high level of professionalism was evident and cost compared to other dental offices was better. The size of the practice is pretty small so scheduling can be an issue but it wasn't inconvenient. read more

I had not been to the dentist in a very long time. I wasn't looking forward to doing so, but then somebody recommended Evydent. I had quite a bit of work that needed to be done in my mouth. when I walked into the office I was greeted with a smile and a warm reception by the desk staff. What I really liked, was that my appointment was at 1 o'clock and they called me in at 1:05 PM. The dentist assistant came in and explained to me what they were going to do, and in the order in which she was going to do it. I noticed that everything was very clean. The equipment was state-of-the-art. When the dentist came in and reviewed the information, x-rays, etc. she looked in my mouth and double checked the info. Manually. My dentist explained everything that needed to be done and took care of my original reason for going to the dentist. This facility is a very friendly, clean, and welcoming environment. I was at ease right away. I understood exactly what needed to be done and in what order. My dentist was efficient, We conversed a bit which made it a very homey environment, which cannot be said about a lot of dentists offices. I highly recommend Evydent to everyone. It is the best experience I have ever had in my 50 years with the dentists. Evydent is excellent in all aspects of Dental Care! Do yourself a favor take care of your teeth especially cleanings and do it at a place, that truly cares about their patient's well-being. Sincerely, Minet Garcilazo-Gropper (patient) read more
