The office is welcoming, the staff is friendly, and I felt very well cared for throughout my visit. Dr. Ishani's gentle approach and attention to detail made the whole experience comfortable and stress-free. I'm very happy with the care I received and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dentist.

The office experience was not a good one. They want your money up front and leave you to deal with…read moreyour insurance company to get your money back. I never had to do this with any dentist in all my years. Normally they would bill the insurance companies as I have two dental plans and what the plans did not pay, the doctor would bill me. Dr. Mehta has the audacity to say to me that she's not going anywhere. Hello! I'm not going anywhere either. She has my address and she knows where to find me. I pay my bills and don't need to be shaken down for $2500 before she would work on me. Plus I had to put $1,000 deposit. She was recommended to me by a friend so therefore I did it, a big mistake! When I asked the front desk how much it cost for the tooth because everything was estimated they told me $2300 so they owe me money. They billed the insurance company over $4000. I found all this out because I am constantly calling the insurance companies. The girls at the front desk said oh you could just take the extra money and just put it towards your next visit. No, I don't want to do that because there is not going to be any future visits after she corrects the horrible work performed by her. The girls at the office are incompetent. My insurance company kept saying that they never received anything from them. The girls at the office said they sent it three times. My insurance company said they never received it. Once they have your money, they don't care about you. I put out of my pocket $2500. Dr. Mehta put a bridge in my mouth and I have not eaten in four days. Only liquids because food gets stuck where she put the bridge. I went to her on Friday January 14, 2025 and she cleaned where there was food stuck that I could not get out. I woke up Saturday morning OK until I ate 2 crackers, then I was in agony again. I called her office at 2 am and left a message . I was in so much pain I could not sleep. She returned my call 2 days later on Monday and could not get me in until Wednesday, January 22, 2025. I work and I am not taking off work nor going in before work to be in agony at work. She could care less. I told her that this was not a good fit, and it needs to come out and redone. She said she would take it out and leave the hole there. I told her that she either reimburses me or makes me another bridge. So needless to say I have to go back on Wednesday January 22, 2025. She hung up on me three times during this conversation because she didn't want to hear or like what I was saying . I called her back and told her it was very unprofessional to hang up on her patients. She tried to tell me that the 3 hang ups were dropped calls. She doesn't know how to deal with patients/myself and has no patience. She was tossing her tools around because she was angry that I was complaining that she didn't do a good job. She did not like what I had to say and was acting like a bratty child. She told me that she takes a little pouch with her toothbrush, her pics and whatever else she needs to get the food out of her teeth. I said, you do this every time you go out to dinner and she said yes. Well, I can't go through all those motions and carry a pouch with dental tools in my pocketbook. Something is wrong because the bridge is not flush against my gums. That is why food is getting jammed in there. I have three friends that have bridges and never had a problem like this. She needs to reimburse me or make another mold and not at my expense nor my insurances. She also made a cap for me, the tooth is at an angle crooked. It was never like that prior to her making that cap, she insists that that's the way it should be. I am not happy with that either. I wore braces for four years so my teeth were straight. Once she finishes or fixes what she started, I won't be going back. As I'm writing this, I am in pain and will be until Wednesday. My insurance company is aware of all of this. I am so unhappy and I'm in so much pain.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Nejat and everyone at Advanced Periodontics!…read more From the moment I walked through the door, I was treated with professionalism, kindness, and genuine care. The entire staff is warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive, making what could be a stressful dental experience feel comfortable and reassuring. I have ankylosing spondylitis and between the complications of A.S. and the multitude of medications I've been taking for many years now, I had major dental problems. They required surgical extractions and intervention. It was a tremendous amount of work and made what could've been a miserable experience into a very pleasant one. My experience with the surgical intervention, followed by complete implant work, has convinced the rest of my family to begin seeing Dr. Nejat as well. The doctors at Advanced Periodontics are truly experts in this fairly new field.  When I first visited the office, I was literally terrified of having any sort of dental work done.  I mentioned this during my first consultation and they took the time to thoroughly explain every step of my treatment, answer all of my questions, and ensure I felt confident and informed throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail and commitment to patient care are second to none.  Coming from me, a real chicken.... that honestly means a lot.  The office is spotless, modern, and equipped with the latest technology, which gave me even greater confidence that I was receiving top-quality care.  My procedure went smoothly, and the results exceeded my expectations. I grew up watching my grandparents and parents deal with the agony of using, cleaning and maintaining traditional type dentures. They could not eat everything they desired, were constantly dealing with hardware problems and the messy cream and paste type adhesives required to keep them in place. Their physical appearance and speech were negatively affected, and it was obvious to just about everyone they were "false teeth". With all of this knowledge, I great fears of ending up with traditional dentures.  After everything was ,I walked away with implants & bridges that feel great and, more importantly, look fantastic!   Their appearance is far better than my original teeth and are far more functional. My biggest regret...?? I wish Dr. Nejat, Advanced Periodontics and implant technology were available to my grandparents and parents. It's truly life-changing. The follow-up care was equally impressive, with the office team checking in to make sure I was healing properly and feeling comfortable. What truly sets Dr. Rich Nejat and the entire staff at Advanced Periodontics apart is how much they genuinely care about their patients. It is quite rare to find a practice that combines such exceptional clinical expertise with such a personal, compassionate approach. If you're looking for the best periodontal care in New Jersey, look no further.   I rarely compliment, let alone refer anyone to any medical professional.  That said, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Nejat and Advanced Periodontics to anyone seeking outstanding treatment and an exceptional patient experience. Five stars truly aren't enough!!

**Cash-paying patients, be careful.**…read more I went in for a single extraction after being quoted $550 several days before the appointment. Before the procedure, Paul and I also had a discussion about a possible full-arch restoration, so there was an opportunity to discuss any additional treatment. A bone graft was never mentioned. Then, while I was already anesthetized and in the chair, Paul came in and told me that **Dr. Nejat was recommending a bone graft at the last minute**. I was presented with a bill for $1,835. I pushed back, and the office ultimately reduced the total to $1,000. I had already paid $917.50. As a cash-paying customer, I left feeling like I had been taken advantage of by the way the additional treatment and cost were presented to me. If an additional procedure is going to substantially change the price, I expect to know about it before I'm anesthetized and sitting in the chair. I never returned.
