I will never return to this dental office again. The dentist is extremely unpleasant and rude…read more My family avoids fluoride due to its confirmed toxicity and harmful effects on a developing child's nervous system. While studies have clearly demonstrated its risks, none have definitively proven its effectiveness in preventing cavities. Because of this, we do not use fluoride and have opted out of fluoride treatments at the end of dental cleanings. This preference is noted in the system. However, the doctor was clearly displeased with our decision. Ever since I marked this in the system, he has treated my family--and especially me--with utter contempt. When I left his office, he shot me a cold, piercing glare filled with disdain. That moment solidified my decision: I promised myself and my children that we would never go back. Unfortunately, my child developed a cavity, and in an effort to address it as quickly as possible, I decided--against my better judgment--to return to this dentist rather than waste time searching for a new provider. That was a mistake. The appointment turned out to be one of the worst experiences I have ever had. The doctor was openly condescending and unkind. He responded to my questions with the shortest possible answers--one or two words at most. After administering anesthesia to my child, instead of engaging in the usual small talk to ease the patient's anxiety (such as asking about school, pets, or summer plans), he simply sat there in complete silence, his head down, waiting for the anesthesia to take effect. His front-desk staff adopted the same hostile attitude. When I casually commented on how much I liked their potted cacti in tooth-shaped planters, the receptionist looked at me, said nothing, and just smirked. Even my child noticed the uncomfortable atmosphere. When I told her that we would never return, she replied, "Mom, but you said the same thing last time." This time, I mean it. I do not recommend this dental office. The doctor is more focused on maximizing profits than on patient care. His goal is to push as many procedures as possible to extract the maximum amount of money from your insurance. When I asked about a dark spot on my child's tooth, he dismissed it as a mere stain. When I suggested that the enamel might already be compromised, allowing debris and plaque to accumulate, he disagreed but then added, "If it bothers you, I can clean it." I declined because I understood that "cleaning" the spot would require disrupting the enamel. Instead of clarifying whether I was correct, he simply repeated his offer: "If it bothers you, I can remove it." Of course, this would have been billed as an additional procedure to my insurance. This dentist is rude, dismissive, and solely focused on profit. I will not make the mistake of returning again.

Over the last year or so the service declined drastically so we decided to try another dentist. Our new dentist found 8+ cavities that have existed for several years and all 5 (yes, 5) of my daughter's wisdom teeth need to be urgently removed - yet another malady that Dr Spatzner failed to observe and communicate. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying far away from this practice that I would categorize as borderline negligent.

I wish I could give 4 1/2 stars. First and foremost, this is a great office. The front desk…read morepeople always have a smile for everyone, and my average wait time is never more than 10 minutes, even when I'm early. I should begin this review by saying that I've had extensive work done here, and unfortunately a great deal of different procedures at other dentists and periodontists in NYC and Florida. Dr. Moskowitz is a dream dentist. He's as upbeat as he can be, yet he never sugarcoats the situation. He will answer endless questions, and never seems frustrated or irritated. I don't like dentists, and I am kind of a wuss when it comes to pain, but he is unfailingly gentle, and will stop and administer more anesthetic in the middle of a procedure if the patient wants it. I cannot say enough about my experience with him, and with his assistant, who also went to dental school, Dora. They are an amazing team, and I trust them completely. Why? I read some previous reviews about unnecessary work ordered, but I had all different options and price points discussed with me, and wasn't pushed toward the most expensive option. My father made the same decision to have a permanent bridge put in, and his dentist (in Florida) was not as good as Advanced Dental Care - he gets food caught under it and it irritates his gums. My bridge fits so well that I feel like it's nearly my natural teeth. They didn't rush to cement it in, but used temporary paste, until I was sure that the fit was absolutely correct. So why not 5 stars? They are EXPENSIVE. I have dental insurance, and with the insurance that they take, I'm still paying tens of thousands of dollars out of my own pocket. I know that there are less expensive dentists out there, but I've decided that the thoroughness and expertise that I have experienced here are worth the money. After all, it is your mouth, and I don't know about you, but I like eating. They make sure that they accommodate my schedule, and after hearing my dad complain about the dental work that he had done, I think it is ABSOLUTELY worth the cost.

tl;dr: this place takes advantage of economically vulnerable people and the administration is an…read moreabsolute mess. Extremely long wait after appointment time to be seen, and the administration is horribly managed. This place is terrible. I went to get my wisdom teeth removed. The consultation was standard and everything went fine. They verified that I was qualified for a loan and repayment plan but then I received a letter in the mail after my surgery saying that I did not qualify for the extended repayment plan despite being assured before my surgery that I was. They had me sign up for a plan that caused me financial stress under false pretenses. They called to reschedule my surgery twice which caused confusion with my job because I had to request time off for the surgery and then change it, twice. When I arrived for my surgery, I had to wait an hour and half to be seen by the surgeon whose assistant did not follow her instructions to x ray me while I waited, causing more of a delay. The guy before me had been waiting for two hours. The surgery itself went fine. They have very capable doctors. But so do A LOT of other dental offices. I received IV sedation and it was very fast. The big issue with this place is the management and administration. It is VERY poorly managed. They sent my scripts to the wrong pharmacy (TWICE!) and it took a few hours after my surgery to get them. Also, I requested an itemized receipt for my surgery both before and after my procedure. Was initially told hey can't give that to me until after the procedure. Then on 10/12 when I followed up I was told it would take a day to get to me. It's 10/17 and I still don't have my itemized receipt and they have not called me back. This is what I wonder: 1. I asked for an itemized receipt before my surgery and they said that they could not provide this until after the surgery because that's when they would be able to calculate the totals. 2. If that's the case why did they give me a solid price (the wording was, verbatim "the surgery will cost $2400". It was a definitive statement and not a quote) and have me sign up for a loan and repayment plan based on this amount if they can't actually calculate the totals until after the procedure? 3. Why are they unable to supply an itemized receipt when requested? Why don't they already have this information calculated and on file? Why won't they return my calls about this? Why are they being so shady about this? I am concerned that this place takes advantage of those who need dental work and who may be economically vulnerable, in a lot of pain, and who may be desperate to get this work done. I sincerely regret using Brooklyn Dental and besides my follow up, will never see them again.

I've been coming to Picture Perfect Smile in Little Falls for over a year now and am very pleased…read morethat I made the switch from my former dental care provider. Conveniently located in the heart of Little Falls (not far from the Willowbrook Mall), this modern facility features the latest tech and highly trained professionals to use it. The waiting room is spacious with plenty to entertain (although the waits are never long anyway) and the operatory rooms, sterile and comfy. Ample parking is available in the rear, but there is also a bus stop nearby if public transportation is more your thing. Even better than the office is the people that work for this practice. The entire staff here is warm and welcoming, from the administrators at the front desk to the assistants. Dr. Shahmehdi, who owns the practice, took the time to meet with me (even though I am not his direct patient) during one of my appointments. Dr. Sperling, the pediatric dentist, even struck up a conversation with me after one of my appointments; everyone is so friendly! Dr. Paparella, who has been my attending dentist, has been nothing short of brilliant. Before beginning any procedure--no matter how big or small--she briefly explains what she is going to be doing and why. I feel like I've learned so much about dental care and am much more at ease during procedures. She also has excellent bedside manners, always cognizant of any issues her patients have and does everything in her power to alleviate any concerns. Most importantly, she always takes her time and works meticulously. It is very clear that she takes pride in her work and cares about her patients. The assistants are just as competent and caring. Special shoutout to Nicolle, who assisted Dr. Paparella on my last visit. She was able to use the suction hose without triggering my annoyingly persistent gag reflex. They were both patient throughout my visit, even as I subconsciously started to close my mouth...repeatedly. Nicolle even dabbed my forehead with a paper towel when a drop of water splashed. These little things and attention to detail demonstrate the staff really does care about their patients. In short, whether you dread hearing the words "it's time for your 6-month checkup and cleaning" or are simply looking for a new practice, Picture Perfect Smile is simply...well, picture perfect.

Even…read moreafter moving three times, I still make the commute to his Clifton and Little Falls offices -- and it's well worth it. Like many people, I slacked on dental visits during Covid and unfortunately paid the price. I ended up needing my first dental implant, and while I was nervous about the surgery (I'll admit I was a bit of a chicken!), I knew I was in the best hands. To my surprise -- it didn't hurt at all. Honestly! For context, my tooth had been previously extracted by a different dental group during an emergency, and that did hurt a little. But the implant with Dr. Shahmehdi was completely pain-free. I trust him with all my dental care -- bonding, fillings, the implant, and everything in between. He's honest, skilled, caring, and truly brilliant. His staff is also top-notch: professional, kind, and helpful. Also, they accepted my CareCredit card and offered 0% financing, which really helped since my dental implant wasn't covered by insurance. If you're looking for a trustworthy, talented dentist who genuinely cares about his patients -- look no further. Dr. Shahmehdi is the one
