I don't write reviews often, but I would be doing…read morethe community a huge disservice if I did not let everyone know all about my amazing experience here! I just completed my two-year Invisalign journey with Dr. Stamatina, and my results are beyond what I could have ever imagined. I have truly hated my teeth my entire life and have always been especially self-conscious about my bottom teeth. When I first reached out to Petrakis Dental, I was interested in hearing about veneers for a quick, easy fix. Dr. Stamatina strongly advised against this and suggested that I take a less aggressive (and cheaper) approach with orthodontics so that I could preserve the health of my natural teeth. Since some of my bottom teeth were oddly shaped, I was a little concerned about what the end result would look like even with Invisalign, but Dr. Stamatina assured me that most of what I wanted to achieve esthetically could be done with ortho, and that once my teeth were straight, anything that I wanted fine-tuned she would be able to do with composite bonding. Two years later and I cannot believe these are my teeth! I love them. I loved my whole experience! This is the best decision I have ever made, and the photos really speak for themselves. The only reason why I was able to fully trust in this process head-on was because I knew that I could fully trust my dentist. I truly felt listened to and cared for throughout this entire journey. I asked so many questions and was given a thorough rundown about all of my concerns every single time. Petrakis Dental is truly an integral part of the community, and its places like this that make Astoria feel so special. I hope we never lose places like this; we need them! You will not regret going here. I would write more but there is a character limit. To sum it up, Petrakis Dental is THE BEST dental office in NEW YORK. Thank you Dr. Stamatina, Dr. Irene, and Ana for everything and more!

He just happens to be an awful piece of work that my insurance company had listed in the service providers. I happened to come across MediDental care on Instagram weird algorithms, I saw that they accept my insurance and thought I'd try my luck. The following day I called when they were open and explained my situation to them, that I was in need of an emergency exam. within 10 minutes they called me back with an opening, for me to come in. The staff was courteous, attentive and intuitive, the Dentists were informative as well, my questions were answered, my issue was resolved and I was satisfied with my service. I'm now a new client with them and will be back in two weeks for further evaluation and services, and will keep an active review on them after every visit. 10/10 I would recommend their services, so far so good, they can work with you and in a timely manner as well, my issue was resolved in an 1 hr total.

STEER CLEAR Dr…read moreKholadarov is a skeevy dentist that cuts corners and does sloppy work. I got a crown from him 2 years ago and within 6 months it broke while I was abroad. I came back to see him and his response was it shouldn't have broken unless I was chewing rocks. I was eating ice cream... He replaced it and again did sloppy work. I couldn't even floss between the teeth. Other dentists point out how terrible the work is. I'm away again, the crown cracks for the second time, eating mash potatoes. I have other crowns that haven't broken in 15 years. No point in going back to him again as I'm aware he's incompetent. He was a recommendation from a friend who is now also having a lot of complications from his work.

Anna is gentle and very thorough! She is also direct, and always lets me know if something is coming that I don't like (I hate cold air and scraping). Anna always soothes your nerves by talking to you, and it always astounds me how much she remembers about your life. She is truly a gem and hands down the best hygienist I've ever had. You can tell that Dr. Takos really cares about his patients and wants them to have their best smile possible. He has given me great advice regarding my tooth sensitivity, and he's never tried to advertise any unnecessary procedures or appliances. His wife at the front desk is also amazing. For some reason, I had unresolved insurance issues, and she made sure to get on the phone with them and clear it up immediately. She was also very upfront with pricing for Invisalign and whitening, and called my insurance right away to figure out what their contribution to orthodontics would be. I highly recommend this practice, particularly if you are a nervous patient like I was!

I arrived at 11 for my 11:15 appointment since I was told to come earlier for X-rays and paperwork. Around 40 minutes later I was finally called in and taken for X-rays. This part was relatively quick and painless, but the cleaning process was rough and not as thorough as other dentists I've been to. Typically my old hygienist would examine my mouth, tongue and thyroid for any cancer signs, measure my gum recession with a tool, then clean thoroughly using a buffing tool, water pick, metal scraper, and toothbrush, communicating with me at each step of the way. This hygienist started blasting water through my bottom teeth and didn't notice how soaked my shirt was getting until I asked him to stop. He barely scraped anything off my teeth aside from that and gave it a quick brush with an electric toothbrush. He explained that the reason he was using so much water was because my teeth are tight and had tarter build up he was trying to blast, which would've been nice to know during the process. The dentist took a quick look at my teeth and X-rays and said everything looked fine, something else I'm not used to. My old dentist uses a tool that beeps to detect small cavities before they turn large. I probably won't return here and will keep looking for a better dentist in the area.

I asked the front desk if she was an endodontist, and she said, the doctor does root canals and other things too. I schedule an appointment for a consultation to be turned away because this procedure requires an endodontist. I paid the consultation for something I already know. It's a waste of money and time if you ask me. I give it a could've been better rating. On the other hand, she has a nice comfortable office and she does seem to be passionate about dentistry but I couldn't say much about her work since I never received any work from her. She did refer me to a good endodontist.

My insurance assigned me to this practice and I could not be happier! The office is super modern & clean with a short wait time. I was having what I thought was an emergency from the crown being left after my wisdom tooth surgery a few years back & they were able to fit me in the next day. They assured me the tooth was not an emergency and we will continue to monitor it, referring me to a surgeon if necessary. As I said I have never had a cavity but apparently now I have a bunch of small ones. That was a red flag to me but I took photos to send to my friend doing s dental residency & he confirmed they are in fact cavities. What led me to giving 5 stars here is the dentist took a conservative approach and said if I agree to come in 2x a year & floss more than his advice was to do nothing for now & just monitor. The fact that he didn't rush to insist I needed all of these procedures was reassuring that they weren't trying to just do a bunch of unnecessary stuff to bill insurance. My friend also agreed with this approach. I will be back in 6 months for another cleaning and am glad to have found this place.

My review is about one appointment with a Dr. Wayne Seid who was my dentist at the Astoria/Ditmars…read morelocation. My appointment was for a cleaning and x-rays. I met with 3 people - first the dental hygienist, young-ish male/30s, then Seid, followed by the third person - the business manager. The dental HYGIENIST took x-rays, then told me that I had gum disease and needed Laser treatment ("LANAP"), he said my front teeth were a little loose, that my x-ray showed severe problems with bone lose (below gum line) and therefore problems required immediate laser treatment. (NOTE: Laser treatment CAN cause the bone mass (root) to grow back.) The DENTIST and BUSINESS MANAGER repeated the same stuff including that if you lose a tooth it can effect your health (heart attacks.....). I asked about less expensive treatment - SCALING - where the gums are pulled down so the area below the gum line can be cleaned after injecting anaethesia into the gums. Seid said - can't do it. The dentist, SEID, wanted to start treatment that same day which I found suspicious. The laser treatment was $8,000 ($2,000 per quadrant) and although they submitted to my insurance immediately, and told me my insurance would cover it, MY INSURANCE WOULD NOT COVER THE TREATMENT. I later confirmed this. The BIZ. MGR. told me that if I didn't have the money, a third-party company would pay PROHEALTH DENTAL, and then I would pay the third-party company. WARNING - NEVER ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN!!! because if you fall behind on payments (and depending on how the contract is written) the company could add late fees.... This is a unethical practice (in my mind) that more trusting patients or patients who don't understand english as well as native English speakers. Finally I went for a SECOND OPINION to a reputable dentist, Dr. Jonathan Richter of Oasis Dentistry (UWS in Manhattan) who recommended a much less expensive option, "scaling" described above, which was a fraction of the $8,000. He is an amazing, warm, kind, & honest dentist with amazing educational credentials, who explains the available options in plain english, possible outcomes and lets you decide. Dr. Richter said the scaling can help some of the bone loss to grow back and if it didn't work there were other options including laser. But it didn't make sense to start with the most expensive treatment, because after paying $8,000 you might not have money for other treatment(s) if the laser treatment was not satisfactory.
