Couple of points I'd like to make...I'm a cautionary tale. Long term medical care (nothing to do with my mouth) has started breaking my teeth down at an alarming rate, it's become a horrible side effect of my treatment! So make sure you have ALL the facts of your treatment and possible long term side effects, so you don't go down my road. I had become embarrassed to return to a dentist. I'd always been pretty good at seeing the dentist 1 or 2 times a year. My last dentist no longer takes my insurance, so I was guided to Dr. Ali as a replacement. Thrilled that I came here!! Zero embarrassment with these folks! They are truly kind, and they take their time to explain everything!! I have many appointments in the near future, and I can honestly say that except for the expense for all of it, it's going to be a positive experience (yes even for a dentist)! From the front desk, to the techs and Dr.'s they are very knowledgeable, professional, and KIND!! I can't recommend these folks enough! Thank you for making a truly dreaded appointment overall relaxing and no longer fearful of what's to come! p.s. they work out of an older building, but their equipment is modern and top of the line, it's a nice office. read more

GROUPON BUYER BEWARE: Be prepared for a bait-and-switch when purchasing a Groupon from Specialty Dental Group. They will not perform the "basic cleaning" in the Groupon as advertised. This is what will happen. They will do an exam and x-ray, then tell you that they cannot perform the basic cleaning. Instead, the manager will upsell you on a deep cleaning (under-the-gum, 2+ sessions at around $200 each session, anesthetic.) Get a second opinion on the deep cleaning (it may or may not be necessary.) Many dentists will tell you it's necessary, but it often is not needed. This is an easy way for them to make a couple hundred, since they are not profiting much from the Groupon. I purchased the "Dental Exam with Basic Cleaning and X-Rays for Two" and they rejected both my boyfriend and myself for the basic cleaning. It gave me the red flag that this is their bait-and-switch tactic with the Groupon deals. read more

Dr. Kim is very pleasant to be around. He replaced the last practice that was here and while I do miss Star and Dr. Ali's team, Dr. Kim is a wonderful replacement. I have severe TMJ and I'm not able to do several procedures because of it. Dr. Kim made time on his Saturday to do 4 cavity fillings! He was patient and his staff gave me breaks appropriately. Hr even assisted by massaging my tight jaw. Hes also incredibly direct which really is a plus. He let me know that my brushing technique was sub par and taught me how to be better at it. Thanks Dr. Kim and staff! I j'adore you all. read more

So I came here to get my canine filling replaced in December as I was leaving my current job and would be without insurance for a couple of months until my new policy kicked in. I was assigned to this office and didn't have time to research. My experience was TERRIBLE! What started off as a simple filling replacement turned into a 5 "minor cavity" catastrophe. Setting the scene, you walk into this office and are greeted by one of the friendliest front office staff person ever, Star! She gets 5 stars, she made me feel extremely comfortable. This bad review is no reflection of her as she and the dental hygienist were very pleasant and performed their jobs phenomenally. But what followed them was a disaster. So after getting my X-rays done, the dentist arrives-I can't recall her name, but she had very dark black hair and was a slender female. The dentist states I have "5 minor cavities." As my insurance is about to term, I let her know I have a couple of weeks to get them taken care of. She decides to turn this task into a 2 trip venture as she only wants to numb one side of my mouth on each visit. This dentist was horrible. She didn't properly numb my mouth on either occasion. She was trying to deprive me of the numbing shot as her vile was running low and she wanted to ensure she had some for her next patient-what professional office doesn't have their stock prepared for the days clientele??? When she's working on my back molar on the left side of my mouth she drills very deep and hits a nerve. She asks me am I able to continue on without getting any extra numbing shots. Was she serious?! I had screeched so loudly from the pain-she struck a freaking nerve-which I still am having problems with til this day and probably will need a root canal for! After failing to numb me properly she then fails at completing the actual filling! She overfilled the tooth and had to correct my bite and ask me was it correct around 15 times. I've never had a dentist that was unable to provide the proper bite! It's one thing to be off a little and have me voice a concern that it needs to be corrected, but to have to go through that cycle 15 times, she clearly didn't know what she was doing. As I mentioned earlier, it feels like I will need a root canal, as I cannot eat on that side of my mouth where she did this filling! She had mentioned that I may have sensitivity for a couple of weeks, but at this point, it has been over 2 months! I would never recommend this office to anyone for dental work. read more

Before getting work done at this office get a pre-determination from your insurance. That will in fact save you if the dentist messes up in your mouth and from them over charging. I highly recommend getting your doctors notes after each visit. This will ensure they do a good job and do not alter the notes later. I am sure they may have a decent dentist or 2 under this office, already had a bad experience with them. read more

This is hands down the shadiest dentist/doctor/medical office I have ever been to in my life. To begin the x-Ray tech had absolutely no idea what she was doing. Either that, or their equipment was so out of date that I was actually asked to hold the plates in my mouth by hand. Following this catastrophe, the "doctor" came in to look at my teeth. Here's where I would like to point out that I am 34 years old, go to the dentist twice a year and have NEVER had a cavity in my life. I have impeccable teeth, (and probably great genetics), and pride myself deeply on my killer oral hygiene. With that being said, after poking at my teeth for approximately 30 seconds the "doctor" determined I had not one but SIX cavities that needed to be immediately filled. SIX cavities that magically appeared over the last 6 months?! He didn't even let me ask any questions before he said the receptionist would be in with a price estimate for the work that needed to be done. Long story short...The place is a scam. They're trying to scam unsuspecting patients into paying for pricey procedures they don't need and if there was more I could do to shut this place down I would. Not only is it morally wrong, it's also extremely insulting. Needless to say I refused the "estimate" and refused the cleaning I was initially there to receive. Scumbags like this make my skin crawl. Six cavities my fucking ass. read more

After calling several dentist offices looking for some help and guidance it seemed that everyone was giving me the run around and telling me they couldn't help me much without me coming in and setting up an appointment. But then...I found specialty dentist! Star was a huge blessing and answered all of my questions. She was GENUINE and super helpful. You get kind of tired of talking to salesmen after a while, but Star was very sweet and didn't come across pushy. It looks like I found a new Dentist! read more

Had my 1st appoint on the 20th of July. Star was professional and nice. I was quickly attended, they did my preventative care and dental x-rays. The dentist was friendly and explained everything she was doing thoroughly and constantly asking if I was in any pain. Dental assistant was great as well. Best dentist experience I have ever had. Glad this is my new dentist. Found them through Yelp and glad to see all the comments were true. Thank you and see you in 6 months. read more

Just returned from an unsuccessful Dentist Appointment for my 96 year old mom, who was scheduled for teeth cleaning. Got to the office and a new Dentist's name was on the door nameplate. Doors locked. Come to find out after our October appointment, the business was sold and we had no idea! No courtesy phone calls, nothing. I must say my mom was savvy enough in her first appointment last year that Dr. Ali's office recommended a 2-appointment deep cleaning and filling of 2 cavities. We both questioned this. Also the so called Dental assistant was the daughter of the receptionist at the time. Hmmm. Kind of sketchy all around. Glad they're gone. Have no interest in inquiring about Dr. Kim. He bought the business and were were not contacted about the change of ownership? Hmmm. The website says "Open Now!" We had a 10:00 AM appointment and nobody was home! read more

My kids and I love this dental group! The front office staff is amazing! The technicians are really sweet and (besides 1) are very gentle. When we started going here in 2016 my 10 yr old had a toothache. He was very nervous. When he ended up having a root canal he didn't feel a thing. He ended up needed fillings and things and never felt any pain and hasn't had any complaints since then. I have a 12 yr old daughter that had a toothache later and we thought it would need a root canal. She was so afraid because she didn't know if it would hurt or not. The main Endodontist Dr. Sami Ali examined her and said that she just needed a filling. She went to Dr. Vora and her tooth was still sore for about 2 months altogether but we had them re-x-ray her tooth and it was no longer infected. We used sensodyne during that time and it eventually stopped. The nerve had to calm down and that took her body time to do. My youngest child who is now 7 went to a pediodontist and that was a terrible experience. So we went to Specialty dental group and he was brave to let them work on his teeth. He said they were good and didn't hurt him. Dr. K has worked on both of my boys and they love her. They both say that she isn't rough and if they can still feel at all, she immediately stops and numbs them more before she continues. And as I understand that is Dr. Ali's policy. So all in all we love this group! I haven't been to a dental office that will take all of us and is so amazing. read more

For someone who gets quite anxious any time I have to do anything dental related, this office does a really good job at putting me at ease. They are super helpful, very kind and they all always have a good attitude whenever I come in. They do everything that they can to accommodate their patients and regularly ask if you're okay during whatever procedure you may be getting. I've gotten a root canal done here and the results were great and the process was easy. I just recently finished a deep cleaning and I'm super happy with my results and I will be coming back to get my fillings done. Their schedule works great with mine and I plan on continuing to keep coming here! read more
