Very quick and painless, the recovery went without any issues. Dr. Dumanis has a very high level of integrity and professionalism. He is a very skilled doctor! He is super straightforward and informative about the exact condition and the treatment options. His main priority is the patient's wellbeing and the first thing he did was to outweigh the risks vs benefits in my case which is very high risk and very complicated. I can't stop counting my blessings for finding this clinic. All doctors working there are real gurus of the oral surgery!

Two visits, both unpleasant. The first was to fix an implant, was worked on by a Technician who…read morecould not do the job and took his frustrations out on me, saying he may not be able to finish as he had other patients. He did finish repairing the implant and filled the hole but did not polish saying he did not have anymore time. The job was not difficult, he just could not do it. Finally called in the dentist to advise. The second time was when part of the same tooth fell out. Returned, saw the actual dentist but before he even looked, said that this was not in his scope to repaire. I told them the problem but they saw me anyways so they could charge the insurance as well as well as me, even though they knew they would not do the work.

Secondly, they had a very comfortable waiting room with various snacks and lightning fast Wifi. This is where the good stuff abruptly ended. When I was called to come in we were led, instead of to an examining room, to an office. The office employee then told me and my wife that before they could see me they wanted an immediate payment of $398 for 3-d x-rays. I then told this person since I have insurance that the usual procedure would be for the office to provide the service, submit the claim to my insurance company and then bill me for the balance. She said she would immediately talk to her insurance coordinator and left the room. She came back 10 minutes later and told us that we would have to pay $197 immediately and bill the insurance the balance. I reiterated that all dental offices we have dealt with did the service first, billed the insurance, and there would be an EOB for us to remit the rest. She insisted on this prepayment, we informed her that this is not the way we do business, and walked out of the office, That is why this office went from 5 stars to 1 star in less than a half hour.

On 09/29/23, I had an appointment with Dr. Kanter for the removal of my four wisdom teeth. I am,…read moresuffice it to say, disappointed with the outcome, and was made to feel objectified while under his care. While I understand that medical procedures can sometimes be unpredictable, my experience left me with several concerns. During my appointment, Dr. Kanter, allegedly, encountered difficulty in finding a vein for the administration of anesthesia. He poked me several times in each arm, 4-5 in total, without success. I have a fear of needles, and was very lightheaded, near fainting, after these attempts. Dr. Kanter then asked if he could remove my wisdom teeth using only local anesthetic. I said yes, and received 4 painful novocaine shots to my lower jaw only. When he began, I could feel what he was doing. I made noise, and was visibly crying, but couldn't speak due to the numbing of my lower jaw. Due to the pain and trauma of the experience, Dr. Kanter only removed one of my wisdom teeth during the appointment. Throughout the appointment, Dr. Kanter and his assistants commented not only on my weight, but also on the scarring I have on my arms. They spoke about me as if I were not sitting right in front of them, and I could not say anything, as my mouth was numb. Afterwards, I was prescribed a day's worth of painkillers. The numbing began to wear off very quickly, and I was in extreme pain. Two hours later, my pharmacy had yet to receive the prescription. My mother called, and Dr. Kanter's office informed her that they were not at fault, and nothing could be done. Shortly after she called, the order arrived at my pharmacy, which I found to be somewhat suspect. I was hoping for a smoother experience, considering the nature of the procedure and the discomfort associated with wisdom teeth. Communication during the appointment was abysmal, and I wasn't prepared for the change in plans. I believe that it's important for medical professionals to be well-prepared for a range of scenarios, and while I understand that complications can arise, I was left with trauma from this experience. I strongly encourage others to exercise caution with Dr. Kanter and make their own judgments.

DENTAL IMPLANT Required... Currently have to get an…read moreextraction and implant for an old root canal that had fractured at the root... something I had an inkling was happening - but not showing up on x-rays in 2013... so I waited per my dentist, and now there was evidence of the exact issue in 2014... when I switched to a non-employer dental plan, which did not cover implants (urgh)... Anywhoo, that is the situation, and my impetus to find an oral surgeon that would discount to Cigna rates, even if they were considered out of network. Without insurance negotiated rates, the str8 OOP (out-of-pocket) for extraction, bone graft, post, abutment and crown... was in the $3700+ range. HOW I FOUND THIS OFFICE So, there are dental discount plans supposedly allowing you to get Cigna negotiated rates... i.e. 50% off, so the ROI seemed reasonable to spend $135 for that... would be made up in this procedure and then some... and I looked for an oral surgeon locally that was supposedly accepting of this - with a good review on Yelp. OFFICE / SERVICE Now FINALLY getting to the review... THIS oral surgeon was on the list and on Yelp... so I scheduled a consult, taking my general dentist's proposed treatment plan (he is a great normal dentist, but not sure about getting an implant done from him necessarily)... had the DDS email over the x-rays as well. Walked in, and the Russian (?) receptionist or office manager was a little aggressive about upfront charges for the consult $110, and having to get better x-rays ($230 / 450? don't recall a lot of numbers were flying at me) and what insurance I had, etc. It was a little annoying... I just wanted to get an idea of pricing based on the estimate I had already gotten, with the Cigna discounts factored in, because it seemed like the fee schedule would be significantly less... not the case. Regardless, it would have been nice to just get that there were expected charges and review to see if their fee schedule would be adjusted BEFORE I came in, that is essentially what I had asked for on the phone... and they said it would be handled at the appointment. Apparently I should have insisted. 8-/ SYNOPSIS The price was essentially the same as my dentist, and I didn't like the money-grubby vibe. The place was difficult to find, behind a McDonalds in one of those older 80s brown brick commercial parks... maybe I'm being a little judgy, but the basement sectional furniture does not give the impression of a successful practice... and the attitude from the office staff definitely chased away this client.

I've had nothing but trouble ever since. Dr. Garfield wouldn't listen to me when I said the crown wasn't comfortable, but proceeded to talk me into a mouth guard, probably to just dismiss me, yet make a little more money off of me. He has since retired, but the people who took over are more about selling you fancy services than fixing teeth. I guess it's the new way dental offices are now days. It's all about the dollar and not treating their patients.

The series of aligners are almost undetectable, and can be taken out during treatment, which allows you easier access to your teeth for brushing and flossing.

Invisalign is used for select treatment options, so it is important to check with your Orthodontist regarding whether or not you are a candidate Traditional Metal Braces Made of high grade stainless steel, metal braces are the most popular type. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and better looking than they have ever been. A combination of brackets, archwires, and elastic bands are used to straighten the teeth. Patients can feel free to express themselves with the fun, brightly colored elastics that can be switched every visit. Ceramic Braces An alternative to metal braces, ceramic braces are made of a clear material. Since they are translucent and less noticeable on your teeth they are popular amongst older teenage and adult patients. The drawback to ceramic braces is that the brackets are larger and more fragile than the metal option. Lingual Braces Lingual braces are small braces that are placed inside the mouth on the back (lingual) of the teeth. These braces are available for mild cases that have limited orthodontic needs.
