my visit was really awesome...as weird as that is to say about going to the dentist after two years. it's a very nice office to walk into, and samantha is so friendly and hospitable, she makes you feel welcome. i was in the waiting room maybe two minutes when melissa came up to get me for my cleaning. melissa was very detailed and let me know what she was going to do and how. during the cleaning, we chatted about music, work, teeth and so on. as i'd said, it's been two years, so it was probably one of melissa's more involved cleanings, but my teeth felt great, and she was gentle on the teeth that were causing me discomfort. after that, i went in to the exam room for a couple more x-rays where i saw annette who was also super friendly and accommodating. she made sure i was comfortable and grabbed a few more x-rays before leaving to get the doctor and review the treatment plan. oh, and the exam chair is super comfortable with heat and massage control. dr. raggi came in to start his exam and was yet again, another friendly face in the practice and let me know what was going on. he was also teaching, but i did not retain the young man's name. during the exam, he went over everything and all questions i had, and explained everything at a level of my understanding. we also chatted about family and the local area, so it wasn't all about teeth. after the exam, we went over the treatment plans and i was ready to go back to samantha. i went up front to check out, and my treatment plans were still being entered, which i knew, so samantha offered to make me some coffee while i waited and we went over my billing and verified my insurance submission. i booked my next two appointments to go back and start the treatment plan and chatted with samantha to discover we had a common workplace. i highly recommend gorges dental to anyone looking for a new dentist at extremely reasonable prices, and the quality of equipment, facilities, and people are superior to any other i've been to. read more

Taking over the long standing client list from John Comisi is not an easy task. We are used to a very relaxed atmosphere, where we connect personally with all the staff in the dental office because we've known each other a long time. . . 30+ years. My introduction to Dr. Tony and Melissa Raggi was warmly received, patient, as I relayed my previous experiences, and good humored throughout, putting me at ease, with a sense of confidence that remaining with this practice was the correct choice. Almost 18 months later, I can confirm that choice. Cleanings with Melissa are enjoyable! She has a very light touch, is always aware of my comfort, and remembers conversations from months ago, asking for an update, and how things have been since we last interacted. AND she's totally professional with the cleaning solution coming through the cavitron. She never sprays my face! My mouth is healthy, my teeth sparkly clean, and my appointments regularly scheduled for my convenience. I know this sounds more personal that most reviews for professional services. However, that kind of connection is important to me, and not having to explain every. single. thing. each time I go to the office is a huge positive. I recommend Gorges Dental for your entire family!! Check out their web pages linked below. And look at the fun for all the kids!!! At my last visit, the official greeter, Tucker the Pug, was there to approve of my existence!! You'll be happy to have a dental office you rely on with reasonable rates, and a true concern for your health and comfort. https://www.gorgesdental.com/ read more

My husband and I just recently started going to Gorges Dental and we are very glad we came here when looking for a new dentist. Dr. Raggi just worked on 5 of my front teeth just today, replacing the old veneers and filling in a few small cavities. It took about 3 hours but it was not as bad as I anticipated. I am very pleased with my teeth-they look better than ever! I also had a couple of other cavities that he took care of a month or so ago, which included replacing my old mercury fillings. In between these appointments I had my teeth cleaned by Kedin (Hygienist). My husband has also had his teeth cleaned twice now, the first being about 6 months ago. We both started off with an initial appointment with Dr. Raggi and Annette (Dental Assistant) in which we had x-rays and a consultation. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by Samantha (reception) and offered something to drink. The dental chairs are very comfortable, with a vibration option and heat option. They play music, asking you what you want to hear. Everyone is incredibly friendly, fun and sweet. The staff works well together and in a timely fashion. One of the best things I like about going here is that none of the staff forgets my name! One more thing: my husband is hard to please when it comes to any sort of Doctor-patient interaction, so if he's happy, they are doing a very fine job. I would recommend Dr. Raggi and his team anytime! read more

I had an allergic reaction to a dental implant. My former dentist didn't believe me but sent me to see an allergist, my family doctor and an oral surgeon who referred me to Rochester Dental Center. Went there for almost 2 years for various treatments for the bleeding gums, painful blisters on my tongue and surfaces of my inner mouth. Nothing worked. A friend of mine recommended Gorges Dental. Best thing I ever did by making an appointment there. There are 3 providers there. I 've seen all 3. They all are so professional, interested in providing the best care and outcome for the patient. After a very short while, I am free of the allergic symptoms of bleeding gums and painful blisters. They removed the implant I was allergic to: in other words they listened to me which no one else would do because it was near the front of my mouth. Now I am happily having restorative work done for not being able to brush my teeth with with toothpaste or have dental cleaning appointments. The dentists, the hygienist and office staff are all of the best. I am forever grateful to my friend for recommending this practice to me. Even far better than my previous dentist and Rochester Dental Center with their many providers! read more

From my first phone inquiry to the conclusion of my first appointment yesterday, Dr. Raggi and staff were most welcoming, informative, and professional. Prompted by rave reviews from my daughter for this office, I made an exploratory call a couple of weeks ago, and Samantha was most helpful in scheduling my first appointment (within two weeks!), explaining billing and answering my questions. I was seen promptly at my appointment time, and all x-ray processes were explained by both interns, Amir, and Jason. Dr. Raggi was very prompt as well, and explained all options and procedures fully for my individual treatment plan. Melissa, (dental hygienist), was thorough and painless in her cleaning treatment. Everyone was genuinely friendly, and most importantly, I felt that they listened... I am happy to drive an hour and a half from Pennsylvania for this level of holistic dental care and professionalism. read more

Gorges Dental and there staff are the best there is. I took myself and son there for cleanings and to have an old filling fixed. To say the least they are extremely patient with children and make it fun!!! Dr. Raggi is extremely knowledgeable and patient in the fact that he will take the time to explaine what your options are. Best part is he isn't out to bleed your wallet dry, he is affordable and wont do any unnecessary work just to get a paycheck like some dentist in town! If you sign up with your email and phone for automatic notification you will get a text message or email to confirm your appointment and I find that very helpful as I am a very busy person. His Wife Melissa is there hygienist and is very gentle. I have been to plenty of hygienists who don't care and it isn't pleasant! I would recommend this dental practice to anyone and everyone as they are 100% a 5 star practice. read more

This is a relatively new practice --- Dr. Tony purchased it from the dentist I'd been going to for a number of years. Tony is the doc, his wife Melissa is a hygienist. They are both super nice. My transition has been painless. So far I'm feeling confident they are doing right by me as a patient. If you're looking for a dentist in the Tompkins County area you should definitely go meet them. P.S. I've designed a number of business logos over the years, and their tooth over Cayuga Lake is not my fav. But don't let that get in your way. Their dentistry is not encumbered by their choice of logo design. read more

Doctor Anthony Raggi was a wonderful help to me when I had a dental emergency during the time of widespread shut-downs due to Corona Virus. He saw me quickly, acted with great skill, and solved my problem. He acted with great solicitude and courtesy as well. I had no follow-up problems after he performed his corrective measures. I would like to add my personal recommendation: Dr. Tony is professional, very friendly, and an efficient provider of excellent dental care. The one good thing about my emergency is that it introduced me to Dr. Anthony Raggi! read more

This is the third dentist I've been to for a mysterious toothache. The previous two dentist couldn't find the reason and literally did nothing to help. With Dr. Raggi, I was able to get an appointment the same day and he detailedly explained the cause and potential solutions of my toothache. I'm getting treatments next week and will hopefully get rid of the pain. Such a relief to finally know what's going on. All the staffs there were very friendly and professional. I'm hoping to stick to this place for the rest of my time in Ithaca. read more

I recently had dental procedures performed by Dr. Raggi which I guess you would call restorations. My front upper teeth were badly chipped and worn away after many years in this senior's body. Dr. Raggi was able to restore these four teeth to better than original using resin. I was thrilled with the result. I'm a grinder so hopefully with a new night guard and careful attention I I can maintain them for sometime. Best dental experience ever. I highly recommend Dr. Raggi's office for your dental needs.

My experience was perfect. Had a immediate need for corrective dental intervention, as it would have affected severely my eating on my upcoming business trip if not corrected, and it was nothing less then relaxing and reassuring. They fit me in, with professional courteous engagement by the hygienist that was disarming and comforting. I was very happy with the corrective fix by the Doctor, who is a true conversationalist, and I know, this is my dentist. read more

I had an amazing experience today as a new patient. From the moment you walked into the office one can feel the positive environment. Office is warm and welcoming. I needed to be seen for an urgent concern - and was provided the upmost professional and courteous dental care. Dr. Raggi is extremely knowledgeable and puts you to ease with a plan of care. The entire office staff was amazing. I'm so happy that I have found the BEST dentist ever!! read more

I had gone to the previous dentist at this location and just sort of transferred over. I am not sorry rather I am pleased with the knowledge of Dr. Raggi, his quick understanding of dental "things" and his easy to understand explanation of the issue. All with no push "to buy". Dr Raggi and Ms Raggi operate a peaceful, practical and professional dental office along with the new personable front office assistant. read more

I'm surprised they don't have an average of 5/5. Dr's Dubin and Raggi are the best dentists I have ever been to. I have genetic issues and am at their office at least once a month. They are smart, talented, kind, gentle and fair. I cannot recommend this office enough. Even though they don't accept my insurance, they work with me and accept care credit. I am so grateful for their quality of care! read more

I have had previous dentists that have messed up by setting crowns to high or by leaving bone fragments after wisdom teeth removals. Dr. Raggi fixed their mistakes. He listens, offers solutions that work, but allows me to choose my treatment. For the first time in a long time I am living without tooth pain. In addition, he has a caring and friendly staff. I highly recommend Gorges Dental. read more

I had a great experience at Gorges Dental, starting as early as scheduling my appointment with Samantha and working with her via email. She was incredibly friendly, understanding, and accommodating. When I got to the office, every member of the staff was so friendly, and I felt more comfortable and laid back than I ever have in a dentist's office. I'm so glad I made the switch! read more

I had a dental emergency and called dentists all over Ithaca for a same-day appointment. Everyone else said the earliest they could fit me in was 1-2 weeks from now, but Dr. Raggi's office was able to adjust their schedule and expertly treat me within hours of my call. The staff was the kindest I'd ever met, and Tucker the pug brightened my experience all the more. read more

I had a great experience with Gorges Dental. Samantha was welcoming, Amir provided excellent conversation alongside my superb x-rays, Dr. Tony showed great attention to detail when addressing all concerns, and Melissa provided a pain-free cleaning. I walked away with a radiant smile! I highly recommend. read more

Professional, highly knowledgeable and compassionated doctors. Wonderful staff. I came in with a rather complicated question/dental need. The doctors took extra time and really extended themselves to explain all options clearly. I highly recommend this practice. Expert care. read more
