Lake Success Dental Care Edith…read more Five stars and a dentist's office sounds like an oxymoron, a contradiction, a paradox. It's like jumbo shrimp or a garbage dump that smells sweet. These things just don't make sense or don't happen...and yet, there's an exception to every rule. In this case, Lake Success Dental Care in New Hyde Park 100% fits that idea. Okay, maybe I just have a very melodramatic history with dentists. I didn't go to one for a length of time I'd rather not discuss just due to never having a legitimate dentist I trusted or felt wouldn't yell at me for lack of brushing/flossing/etc. Then my sis/mother told me about Lake Success Dental Care and I finally decided I needed to bite the bullet (preferably not before a dentist trip, tooth joke) and make an appointment (plus they accepted my insurance, so that worked). Upon entering the office building where the practice is located, I was a ball of nerves, but the nicely-decorated waiting area almost didn't feel like I was about to have people stick their hands in my mouth. Things were comfortable and welcoming, with a phone charging station available if needed. Good start. Once my name was called, the nerves rose a little more, but each employee I met was very kind and I have to say, no one even came close to wagging a finger in my direction due to dental hygiene (even if they probably should have). The dentist I saw that day, Dr. Dai, didn't emanate a great initial friendliness, but he still kept things calm in his process. From that first trip back in November to now, I've visited Lake Success Dental Care four times (one more before a break!) and they've done some great work in getting my mouth all caught up on cleanings and fillings. Each trip was more of the same: calm, welcoming, timely, and never reprimanding (a big win in my book). I also met Edith, who will process your payments before you depart. She's a big reason why I almost (dare I say) enjoy coming to the dentist. Her and the whole friendly staff has made a lasting impression on me (even Dr. Dai opened up this last time around). Two other favorable factors worth mentioning are their hours and notifications. They run crazy times for a dentist's office with nights going until 9 as well as weekend hours available both Saturday and Sunday. They honestly make it hard for you to not find a time that works (even if you try...which I might have done when making that first phone call, heh heh). Once you've got your appointment, they'll call, email, and even text to make sure don't forget when to come in. Even though I'm usually good with dates, it's still great to know when I'm approaching that dental visit (you can't escape it!) Overall, Lake Success Dental Care has turned my world around in how I perceive dentists. I'm sure there are plenty of practices that are actually formidable for those without a childhood phobia of dentistry, but if you're reading this review and fear for your next dental visit, fear no more! Lake Success Dental Care is here for comfort, friendliness, proficiency, and an all-around positive experience. So maybe five stars isn't so far fetched for a dentist. Now we have to work on that sweet-smelling garbage dump...

Meanwhile, there was absolutely NO pain on my left upper tooth. Sure enough, through his pushiness, he convinces me to put a filling in that painless tooth, and that unnecessary procedure led to the most pain I've ever had in my teeth. I can't chew now on BOTH sides because of his failed procedure that wasn't even needed in the first place! I foolishly went back to him, and he changed the white filling to a silver filling. That did nothing and now I'm still in extreme pain. I'm so furious at this man for taking weeks out of the quality of my life. I'm chewing with my two front teeth and in immense pain because of him. He is a sloppy dentist (shavings of the filling were falling down my throat), he's hard to understand, he's extremely pushy and aggressive, his dental assistant hardly speaks a word to you, and his equipment seems decades old. Far and away, he is the worst excuse of a dentist I've been to.

I was referred here by my dentist for a root canal. I was cringing the whole drive here because I had a horrible experience with another practice. Right away, I loved how warm the front-desk staff was. The waiting area id bright and cheery and I didn't smell all the chemicals ( which I loathe) I usually smell at dentist office. The wait was practical. Dr. Einbender came in and introduced himself and got right to business. I was very impressed with the tools that made the whole thing more pleasant including a proper mouthguard so I didn't feel like I was swallowing fragments of my tooth. It took him about 30 mins and the best part there wasn't any pain. Leaving with the anesthesia still in effect but I'm so pleased. Positive I won't be going anywhere else if needed. Co-pay $225, experience - priceless.
