Looks like I skipped the every 6 month dental cleaning visit for nearly 18-24 months due to COVID! Very strange for me. I try to stay on top of dental care. My last visit was right when the Pandemic hit in 2020! I've always liked the really clean feeling you get after the hygienist appointment- yeah I'm weird! I don't mind going to the dentist! I take good care of my teeth. If home, brushing after most meals. Use a good electronic spin brush, they are the best! Flossing almost daily. Very important to floss! Having had braces as a child, I feel comfortable with dental care and visits to the dentist. Every hygienist I've had at Inspire has done a great job, gentle and thorough cleaning. Easy to get appointments. Plenty of parking. Welcoming and bright waiting area. Friendly and easy service. Bill your insurance carrier if you have dental coverage. I've only had regular cleanings here and maybe once a cavity filling years ago. I cannot speak to what the dental surgery is like here, never had any. The dentists at Inspire are nice and professional in my experience.

My welcome bag - awesome!

Called and made an appointment. This place seems really concerned about my daughter's periodontal problem.

My whole family has been going to Winning Smiles for a few years now (my husband, 6-year-old,…read moretoddler, and I). The doctors we've seen have all been great, and the technicians as well. What's better than that just freshly cleaned teeth feeling?! I like that they have a cozier non-typical office/exam room for bringing the littlest one in. We started bringing my 6-year-old in when he turned one, and they do the whole exam in this cute little room with fun stuff on the walls, and carpeted floor, and give them a balloon and rubber ducky on the way out. I love that it's not a typical sterile, white exam room. I think this helped my big boy to not have any aversion to going to the dentist because it started out so nicely this way. Pre-pandemic they had a game room, train table, and super cool mini movie theatre all in the waiting area. Honestly my kid wanted to go just to hang out in there. They also have tvs over every single one of their exam beds, and all the kids beds have fun disney movies playing at any given time - like Nemo, or Toy Story. I have found some bills to be pretty expensive, especially when we were between insurances, as I see others noting below. But luckily (knock on wood), we've not had an emergency or urgent need for any major surgery so routine maintenance with insurance has been as expected.

I find it discriminatory to not accept certain dental insurances at your suburban locations. Only…read moreat the Buffalo location do you accept. First time in my life having this dental insurance that alot of dentists dont accept. Bill the patient separately if this dental plan doesn't pay you enough.

Dr. Amy has been my kids dentist for years and we are extremely happy. My kids love going there…read more All the hygienists are so nice and patient. I never had to wait for my appointment. I show up a couple minutes early and they are right back getting scene. This is usually unheard of in a medical office. If you are looking for a pediatric dentist I highly recommend this place.

So, my daughter was very nervous and also has sensory challenges, which made a very stressful situation for her. Dr. Amy was amazing! She talked to my daughter so respectfully and lovingly. She tried to empower my daughter and give her confidence - She never once looked impatient or made my daughter feel bad about crying and being so anxious. That's not just a fantastic dentist, that's a beautiful person! Also, Dr. Amy's entire staff was wonderful. I don't know her name, but the assistant in the room was so calming, and a total Pro. Kate on the phones is a class act - never made me feel uncomfortable about asking questions and was extremely helpful. As a parent, I could not have wished for a more knowledgeable, kind and professional dentist. Also, just a great role model for my young daughter - to see a brilliant woman dentist also be so kind and compassionate. And believe me....not all "pediatric dentists" are created equal...I've gone to 2 complete duds before I found Dr. Amy. I drive from OP to E. Amherst, which on a good day is a 45 minute drive with Transit road lights and traffic. But, after seeing how skilled Dr. Amy and her team are, I would certainly drive even further.

Deeply Disappointing Experience:…read more I rarely leave negative reviews, but parents deserve to know what they may be walking into. Our experience at University Pediatric Dentistry has been nothing short of condescending, dismissive, and frankly, deplorable in terms of quality of care. We originally brought my daughter here for routine cleanings. At a previous visit, we were told she needed all of her baby teeth capped because "she didn't have adult teeth underneath," along with multiple extractions. That alone raised red flags, so we went straight to the top prosthodontist at Oishei Children's Hospital for a second opinion. After new X-rays and a thorough exam, the specialist told us her oral hygiene was excellent, the teeth did not need to be capped, and with future orthodontic work we could make a clear plan for prosthetics down the road. She even sent a letter of her findings. We then took that letter to one of the top-rated orthodontists in the area, who fully agreed. Fast forward to our most recent cleaning at University Pediatric Dentistry. The moment we shared the medical findings from Oishei, the hygienist became cold and condescending. Her tone and comments were so inappropriate that my daughter -- who walked in feeling confident and proud of her progress -- ended up in tears. That alone is inexcusable. The dentist then told me he did not agree with either of the other two highly regarded specialists and insisted one tooth "really needed to come out." Fine -- if it needs to be pulled, let's pull it. But he refused to do it in the office. He told me she must go downtown to be fully sedated. I explained I have called that office twice and was told we would need to pay $250 upfront and that it cannot be billed or broken into installments. As a parent living paycheck to paycheck, that is simply not feasible. I asked if we could do it across multiple office visits or discuss alternatives, and he refused. His exact position was that full sedation was "in her best interest," yet he would not treat the child under his care unless it was paid in full, upfront. I keep asking myself: What kind of pediatric dentist claims to be acting in a child's best interest, then refuses to treat her unless the payment structure fits their rules? I was not refusing to pay -- I was asking for a reasonable, humane option. My daughter left this office crying, anxious, and biting her nails after previously feeling relieved and empowered by the doctors at Children's Hospital. No parent should have to watch that. Do not go here. There are far better, more compassionate providers in Buffalo. Your child deserves to feel safe, respected, and cared for -- not dismissed, or shamed. And parents shouldn't leave feeling intimidated.

I took my children to the office at 1091 main st in buffalo ny, first off I waited months for my…read morekids appointments (they didn't have any available last year) while there they informed me that my children would need sedation and that it would have to be paid cash because their anesthesiologist doesn't accept insurance. I explained to them that ive never had this problem in Niagara Falls and my special needs daughter should be referred to Children's where she gets any work done because she has to be sedated and that them not accepting insurance is a very big inconvenience for parents. The supervisor told me they will not do that because they already put the work order in for her there. they were very rude to me over the phone and even hung up on me. They sent me a letter stating that my children will no longer be able to be serviced at their office. Horrible and stressful experience. I wouldnt recommend anyone take their children there. They are very rude and the anesthesiologist doesn't even accept insurance.
