Lied about how many cavities my 13yo son had. Went to another dentist and was shown the x-rays and…read morethat there were zero cavities. Always get a second opinion!

My experience at champagne smiles was basically a nightmare. I was looking for a new dentist and…read morecame there for a check up. That seem to go really well except I was told I had a cavity that I should have filled. So I made a follow up appointment. When I returned, everything seemed fine at first. He started working on the cavity as normal, then all of a sudden, he told me that I needed a root canal. This was going to cost a lot more money, and he started shoving papers in front of me to sign. Now I'm basically stuck at this point, he and technicians really pressured me into signing some paperwork so he could perform a root canal which I honestly think was completely unnecessary. It was probably the worst dental experience of my entire life. I have never had a root canal before, nor have I ever had one since. Now there's a dead tooth in my mouth, which has been a source of misery for me ever since that day. I would not trust this guy to give you an honest evaluation, and highly suspect that he basically cons people into having expensive and completely unnecessary dental work. I kick myself for not taking him to court. I only hope this review saves some other people from having unnecessary dental procedures performed by this swindler.

I have been going to Aberdeen Family dental for several years, primarily because my policy is very…read morelimited for choices. The staff is friendly and the regular cleanings are effective however I believe they push for root canals and crowns more than necessary. My 16 year old son had regular visits and they wanted to perform a root canal for a cavity. He got a regular filling instead and has not had issues since. The office staff is not considerate with appointment scheduling. They changed my son's appoint 2 hours prior and then called me when I was late to the new time that they never confirmed with me! My husband showed up for an appointment that was confirmed a few days prior and they had cancelled it without telling him! Needless to say, I plan to change dentists next year with my new policy.

I Asked at the desk that I wanted the owner that was going to fix my teeth, to look at my teeth…read morefirst, visually to decide if I needed a full mouth x-ray or a single tooth x-ray. After being brought to the back they were going to do x-rays without the visual confirmation. Being that I had almost no teeth left. I only needed two teeth fix but the owner said she could see I needed more than two teeth fix. But all my teeth were already fixed except the two I mentioned. The owner declined to treat me. I don't know why asking questions bothered this owner so much. But It saved me from wasting money on that kind of owner. If the owner would have taken me. I would have asked her to crown the two teeth first then ask about dentures and crowns for the missing teeth. Listening to people is becoming a lost art. Compassion was not there. Left crying, and shaking.

I am usually very apprehensive when it comes to the dentist but I'm always satisfied when I leave…read morehere. I've been coming here for about three years now so have seen each hygienist and they are all excellent and will give you a thorough yet meticulous cleaning. They give me a detailed explanation of each procedure and what to expect which puts my mind at ease. They really do stress preemptive care and proper oral hygiene to AVOID serious problems. They genuinely care and want you to have the best dental health. If all they cared about was money I don't think they would do that. The reviews from customers saying they are greedy couldn't be more off. Its probably more like that the customers were not educated on their own insurances or have failed to pay in the past.

I had my first appointment yesterday at your office. Was very impressed with the entire operation…read more The facility itself was immaculate, and the front staff were very helpful and efficient. Kristina Roub was my hygienist. She was very professional and knowledgeable. She made me feel very much at ease, and answered all my questions. Her knowledge of classic rock is impressive as well. Dr MacMahon was very personable, and very professional. We put a plan together for my future visits. I feel good about this team , and ready to get my dental health back on track Thank you Friendly Dental

If I could leave zero stars, I would. Unfortunately, Yelp requires at least one…read more I scheduled an appointment at Aspen Dental in Hazlet because I wanted to take care of my oral health. My goal was simple: get a full set of X-rays, have my teeth examined, and receive a routine cleaning that is covered by my dental insurance. After my exam and X-rays, I was told that they recommended a deep cleaning instead of a regular cleaning. I was quoted approximately $1,200 out of pocket because my insurance would not cover the recommended treatment. While I appreciate that providers can recommend additional treatment when they believe it's necessary, I respectfully declined because I simply could not justify that expense. Since they couldn't fit me in for a cleaning that day, I returned the following day expecting to receive the routine cleaning covered by my insurance. Instead, I was told they would not perform a regular cleaning because they were not comfortable doing so unless I agreed to the deep cleaning. That left me completely frustrated. As a patient, I sought preventive care. I took time off, made the appointments, completed the examination and X-rays, and made the effort to be proactive about my dental health. Being refused a basic cleaning after declining an expensive treatment plan felt incredibly disappointing. I'm not a dentist, so I'm not questioning their clinical judgment if they genuinely believed a deep cleaning was medically necessary. However, from a patient perspective, the experience felt like I was given an all-or-nothing choice: either agree to a costly procedure or receive no cleaning at all. Whether that was the intention or not, that's certainly how it came across. The communication throughout the process also left a lot to be desired. Had I been informed upfront that declining the deep cleaning recommendation would mean they would refuse to perform any cleaning, I could have saved myself two trips, time away from work, and a great deal of frustration. What bothers me most is that I actually wanted to take care of my teeth. There are many people who wish they had dental insurance or access to dental care. I have insurance, I showed up for my appointments, and I was ready to receive preventive treatment that my plan covers. Instead, I walked away without any cleaning at all. The entire experience left me feeling that my time, my effort, and my commitment to my own health were not respected. Patients deserve clear communication, transparency about their options, and to feel that their concerns are heard--not pressured into a treatment they cannot afford. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this office. I left feeling frustrated, disappointed, and no better off than when I walked in. I will be taking my dental care elsewhere and would encourage others to ask detailed questions before scheduling, especially if they are hoping to receive a routine cleaning through their insurance. I also spoke with the office manager, Marina Montalvo, hoping she could help resolve the situation or at least provide an alternative solution. Unfortunately, my experience was that she was not helpful, and I left the conversation feeling that my concerns were dismissed rather than addressed. There was no attempt to work with me, explain my options in a way that was helpful, or find any reasonable resolution. Instead, I left feeling just as frustrated as when I arrived.

Very impressive dental office. I was treated very kindly and they explained everything to me. Dr…read more Steve is so nice and really addressed all my concerns. Christine the hygienist is absolutely incredible. I had to have a deep dental cleaning and she was so considerate during the entire procedure. She numbed my gums with a numbing gel and I didn't feel a thing. It was a really good experience all around. The office staff is welcoming. It's a busy dental office, I never felt rushed. Very happy with my experience. I was recommended to Aspen Dental by a close friend. I really like that they do all your dental needs in one facility.
