I was shocked !! When I called to cancel, the receptionist was unfriendly. What' s the point of spending ridiculous amount of money in a dental office who doesn't treat you respectfully and who prioritizes finances over your safety and well being.

The staff were genuine, attentive, and professional -- you can feel when a clinic truly values patients, and this one does. My first visit was excellent. The care team listened, took their time, and never made me feel rushed. The atmosphere was modern, clean, and relaxed. Staff encouraged and reinforced positive habits rather than shaming anyone for what they "should" be doing -- a huge difference compared to other places. The first set of x-rays was essentially free (saving me hundreds), which stunned me. Both the dentist and hygienist were thorough, careful, and patient. This is how dentistry should feel: professional, compassionate, and centered on care -- not billing. I highly recommend Gorges Dentistry to anyone in Ithaca looking for quality dental care.

Don't waste your time here. My experience here, which…read morehappened a couple of years ago, was disappointing enough that I still feel it's worth sharing for anyone considering going there. I was told the new patient x-ray would be free after asking, and despite repeatedly saying I didn't want it, they said it was required. I eventually agreed, only to receive a $200 bill in the mail for the very thing they insisted wouldn't cost anything. The X-ray process itself didn't inspire much confidence. The technician had to reposition the machine many different times before getting a usable image, which made the whole situation feel even less professional. When I finally saw the dentist, all I needed was my bridge re-glued - an easy, relatively inexpensive fix. Instead, I was quoted $600, which felt ridiculous for something so simple. The entire appointment dragged on for about two hours, and I left with nothing resolved except a bill I hadn't planned on and regret over handing them my social security number. Even though this visit wasn't recent, the experience was memorable for all the wrong reasons. If transparency and competent care are important to you, I would suggest looking anywhere else.

She sent me to have three teeth removed. While I was waiting for those sites to heal I lost the tip of another. I went in to have the tip repaired and she also did purely cosmetic fillings on the outside surface with the warning it might not last. She was right. It didn't. I paid over $800 for a gloss that fell out after two weeks. It's been a year now and the tip repair has fallen out, too. I had a partial plate with six teeth built for almost $2K. I can't wear it.
