Everyone from the front office staff to Dr. Carrington have been lovely and helpful. (Especially with my busy schedule, they have been so accommodating). I've just finished my treatment, and I feel SO confident! I used to cover my mouth when I laughed or smiled, and I've noticed I don't do that anymore :) I'm so happy with my results, and know I can always reach out to them if I need anything.

At the appt, I sat with Dr Carrington and went over the best option for me and a treatment plan. Let me tell you what is going on in this mouth so you can understand why it's time to see Dr Carrington. So, Im 39 and have always had a gap between My 2 front teeth. Ive been okay with it because it is who I am plus my face aint too bad to look at lol. However, over the last 2 years, I've noticed that my gap is getting bigger and the teeth around it are also doing some shifting. The treatment plan is to take my 5mm gap to a 3mm, extract a baby tooth, replace with an implant and bam bam, Im straight lol. This will be done with invisalign over a 12 month duration. 2 weeks later, I go to my second appt to get scanned and everything else you have to do to get prepped for your tray ordering. Oh yeah and pay some dollars honey. My total is $3000 and they can break it up in payments for you without running your credit. . Next appt is in 2 weeks. First trays should be in

They conducted and charged me for a full range of X-rays before determining my treatment plan. I went to two other offices and received treatment recommendations without having to pay in advance.

I had extractions as a teenager along with a palatial expander as a child, but my tongue was scalloped and I was clenching so my jaw hurt every week. Dr Rebong was able to expand my jaws so that my TMJ stopped hurting patiently and gently, listening when I was tender. Sarah and Dr. Rebong are also very accommodating with emergencies which was convenient when questions came up after hours.

I wanted to wait until my teeth were flawless to drop this review, but that won't be for hella long…read moreand my 1 year anniversary with them just passed, so I'mma dedicate this one to my orthodontist, Dr. Jeffrey Tinloy, for his impeccable work! He leaves no stone unturned and will tell you what's good (or rather, what isn't lol). From the three consultations I had, the best offer was here. Your individual price tag will depend on your case, but other fees are standard, at least for adult braces: $365 (x2) due at the beginning and end of your treatment and $100 due mid-treatment, for records and what not. My down payment was $1.5K and that left me MC Hammer broke, so thank god for their monthly payment plan. I didn't get my actual braces in until 3 months after my consultation because I had to get my wisdoms and premolars pulled, so expect to have some preliminary work done before the big day. Some tips for the broke workaholic: schedule your appointments in the AM to avoid those young whippersnappers over at Oakland High (GO WILDCATS, but nah I'm too old to deal), free parking on Wellington St, and pop an Advil right before your monthly appointment because your teeth will be sore after! Shout-outs to Jennifer, VJ (she ain't there no more, but she was the realest), Dr. JT, and the rest of the team for putting up with my shit every month and always going the extra mile to fix my crooked ass teeth. My smile's been coming along nicely, but we still got a long way to go, so buckle up for the next 2 years Dr. Tinloy because you're in for a wild ride. It's been a great year, but this is just the beginning! If you got Tiffany Doggett teeth, I highly suggest you give Dr. Tinloy your business. If you need some braces and got the money, DO IT! Braces suck major ass, especially if you have them as an adult, but time flies and you'll thank yourself in the end. #BRACEFACE & PROUD! A smile goes a LONG way, especially in the workplace. Tell them Peter with the good teeth sent you!

Dr. Tinloy thoroughly explained the whole process and laid out all my options for correcting my teeth so I could make the best decision for myself. He did not recommend any one option above the other unless I asked and his estimated timeline was spot-on. During all my appointments he was able to answer any and all questions I had regarding my treatment, no matter how small or insignificant it seemed. My teeth ended up nice and straight and I couldn't ask for better results. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone who is looking for any ortho work!

Dr Bernstein is a godsend. I had a TERRIBLE experience in LA with placement of two veneers. It…read moreresulted in gum disease, discomfort, and poor aesthetics. It all came to a head when I was 8 months pregnant and one of them chipped. This time around I did my research and went with the best of the best for cosmetics. From the first time I met with Dr. Bernstein, I knew I was in the right place. There was no stress or anxiety -- I knew what was happening every step of the way. He immediately identified the error that resulted in the gum disease and referred me out for gum surgery before veneer replacement. Everything went great, I often get compliments on my teeth, and people are shocked when I tell them they are veneers because they look so natural. This was over 10 years ago. On Monday of this week, I suddenly had a small tooth chip from behind one of my veneers when I was eating. I was terrified that I was going to have to replace them and it unearthed the anxiety from the first time in LA. But no need to fear, Dr. Bernstein got me in straightaway to take a look. I assumed he would do an assessment and have me come back to get it fixed. Not so. He told me it would just take a little bonding, and proceeded to do it right then and there, free of charge. We had a great chat and caught up, then I was on my way. Again, the original placement was over 10 years ago and yet saw me no issue and with my charge! The office staff is all incredible, the space is gorgeous, the skill is expert, and the customer service is phenomenal. Could not recommend more -- and this coming from someone who went through a mediocre dentist the first time around. Don't hesitate to work with Dr. Bernstein and his team!!

Throughout the entire process, the team took the time to explain each step in a way that was easy to understand and always made me feel comfortable and confident in my care.

During the first consultation Dr. Johnson was very thorough and explained what I needed to have done besides just wearing the Invisalign trays.

Dr. Johnson gives you an upfront fee and ensures you are happy when you are done. Besides the doctors, the rest of the team are such rockstars. Kerri at the front desk has the office running smoothly. There was never any appointment mixups or that kind of nonsense. The dental assistants were all great and nice.

My son was told his treatments would run for 18 months, so that time elapsed. Then every time we…read morewould show up expecting it was his last treatment, they would scold him and say, "You have to wear your rubberbands! We'll check again in another 4-6 weeks. " This happened in May, then August, then September, then October, then November. Each time he came out of a 6 minute appointment with the same vague prognosis and direction. He was absolutely 100% consistent with keeping rubberbands on 24/7. However, finally, today after 25 months of treatment, the doctor asked him to show how he was putting on the bands and realized he was not attaching his rubberbands at the right anchors which was affecting the movement of the teeth. When he was not progressing, shouldn't they have thought to do this 6 months ago? So I expressed frustration. The doctor tried to tell me that they had predicted the braces coming off in November but I could point to a note right on his chart that said September. She also tried to show me on his chart small notations that she said meant each time he has been in that they taught him how to attach the bands. He says no, they just asked if he was wearing them. They verbally told him what to do but never checked as today. He has also gotten contradictory directions; one doctor said to wear the left side always and the right only at night. Then a different doctor said to always wear both. Now this third doctor said he should have been doing the different schedule for left and right sides. This place is a factory churning people through in under 15 mins each. I did not think I needed to go stand next to my 16 year old and listen and watch over the care, but if you use this business, you definitely should. Shuffling patients between 3 doctors does not seem like best practice to me and you might end up with months of extra discomfort due to their cursory exams and lip service.
