Where do I begin? So I proposed to my girl in Albany, NY late in 2016 at the Lights In The Park…read moreShow that's held every Christmas season. I propose, she says yes. Awesome. All the hanky-panky crap is censored here for all you Disney Filter folks. Now, for a precursor, my wife and her mother run a very successful event planning business based in Saratoga Springs. We are only slightly uppity, so back off. The ladies keep asking me to consider getting my front teeth repaired. The reason why is because I had bicuspid tooth extractions done in the mid 90's that really messed my bite up. Those practices are no longer used from what I hear. The practice that suggested the surgeon that did this to me I dont want to speak of, but they are from Delmar, NY and the last name rhymes with Barker. So, during the time we were engaged, we were in the process of totally renovating our house while we lived in it. It was old, but the plan was solid and the final concept would have been nice....had we not had a house fire that took most everything we owned and turned it to ashes. I could go into detail, but it turned out that a 4 year old AC window unit from Kenmore had a compressor failure that burst into flames at 9:05pm on a Friday night in June. Everyone was safe. Everyone was confused. We ended up at my wife's parents'. Luckily, after all the trauma we were given martinis, which is a great night cap in that situation. Anywho, I needed my grill done soon. I had a window of 2 months by the time we got to it. We were trying to rebuild while...well...my wife and her family were trying to organize our wedding(I just cheered them on with a cocktail in lawn chair. Classy). I was very nervous. I didn't want my smile to look bad for my bride on our wedding day, and we were running out of time FAST. I was still very nervous, but I was willing to go out of love and because I wanted my fiance to let me do things for her with my new teeth...like convince banks to accept lower monthly mortgage payments. The first practice we tried rhymes with Slowvin...yeah...slow to respond about fixing my teeth. They did a good job cleaning, but never got back when they said they would. Next was that guy on Broadway. He tried scare tactics to sell me sh*t I didn't need, then sent me a 50 dollar bill when I backed out. He never got it, even after he sent us a Christmas card inviting us to his "family." Who sends a "Welcome to the Family" card AFTER they send you a bill for not doing anything? I understand the frustration, but if you went through what I went through over there, you would make hand gestures unsuitable for the general public. Finally, I found Dr. Mark. I want to bring him and all his staff coffee right now just to say hi....not sure if they drink it, but if they did!!! Dr. Mark and Leisha heard my story and made the time to give me the best smile I ever had. They moved mountains for us. I love those guys. They are great people with great personalities. All of them in that office. Now that this COVID crap is tapering, I cant wait to go back for a cleaning and to say hi. Go there for your stuff. You wont regret it.

I'll keep this short and sweet but Dr. Moreau saved me big time. I was 4 days out from getting a…read moreroot canal done and the pain in my tooth was like nothing I had ever experienced. This was on a weekend and I had calls into 20 other dentists in the area and no one had called me back. I got through to Dr. Moreau and he agreed to meet me at his office, on his day off, to see what he could do to relieve some discomfort. Within a half hour he had me fixed up and pain free. He was professional, efficient, and an overall cool guy that went out of his way to help one of his patience big time. I can't thank him enough for being the 1 dentist to return my call. I rarely write reviews but I feel this one is more than warranted. Go there with confidence. Thanks again Dr. Moreau!

I normally don't leave negative reviews, but my experience with Aspen Dental deserves to be shared…read moreso others can avoid what I went through. After my primary dentist's office closed, I called Aspen Dental on a Friday morning because I was in severe pain from an infected wisdom tooth (swollen face, jaw pain, and unable to eat). The person on the phone assured me they could see me first thing Monday and that if it was wisdom tooth related, someone on-site could remove it or have their oral surgeon handle it that week. When I arrived 20 minutes early as instructed, they had no record of my appointment and claimed they canceled it because I "never provided insurance info." That was completely false as I had already done so over the phone, and I even showed them the call logs proving it. Instead of apologizing or fixing their mistake, the front desk staff told me there was "nothing they could do" and acted like it was my fault. After some back and forth, they finally agreed to see me that day. They took X-rays, and the dentist told me I needed all four wisdom teeth removed under full anesthesia, plus "gum treatments" and other procedures that would bring the total to over $4,700. Nearly $1,000 of that quote was just for deep sedation, supposedly keeping me under for more than 45 minutes. For comparison, when I went to another local dentist afterward, the entire procedure to remove two of my wisdom teeth took under 15 minutes total, start to finish, with no need for that level of sedation. It was clear Aspen Dental was pushing unnecessary procedures and trying to upsell me on things that weren't urgent or even needed. I decided to leave and get a second opinion, and I'm so glad I did. The new dentist saw me the same day, confirmed that only two teeth needed to come out, and that none were impacted. To make matters worse, the Aspen dentist's son is the oral surgeon who would have performed the procedure, which makes the hard sell feel even more unethical. I never needed an oral surgeon! Since then, I've spoken with several locals who shared similar experiences of being over-quoted, misled, and pressured into unnecessary dental work. Many also said that Aspen Dental doesn't take insurance for certain procedures and instead pressures patients to apply for high-interest loans or CareCredit on the spot to cover the inflated quotes. It's a clear pattern of taking advantage of people, especially those in pain or under stress. If you're in pain or just need honest dental care, go literally anywhere else. Aspen Dental is predatory, overpriced, and dishonest, and they do not prioritize patient care or integrity in the slightest.

I recently had an examination done here by Dr Ana, the procedure was done with great care. I also…read morescheduled my appointment with William, who was very warm, friendly, and helpful. I will be making this my usual place for my check ups for sure!

I just finished a long process with getting 2 implants , and couldn't be happier with my…read moredecision...I was very undecided about this and Dr. Chauvin and his staff definitely directed me in the right direction!! I started this process in April and am now finished in November, although long and expensive I would never do it any differently than I did, Aimee is a doll and extremely helpful. Thank you all for putting up with me, Maribeth Cook

I read through all of the reviews and was very surprised at the many which were listed as 'not…read morerecommended' as they were excellent! So let me share my personal experience with you. I was referred to Dr. MaiAn Vu by a friend who, like me, is a chicken when it comes to going to the dentist. She said, "you will love her", and my friend was right. Although I live in the Saratoga Springs area, I had an emergency and needed to go to the Chauvin Family Dentistry's Clifton Park office because they were open that day. That's where I met an "Angel", Ellen, who is (or was the last time I was there) the receptionist in their Clifton Park office. This was during a very bad time in my life when I was going through some serious financial struggles (my husband - now ex - disappeared one day and left me with a stack of overdue, unpaid bills and no money). Ellen was compassionate and understanding. She worked it out so that I could pay the bill off a bit each month without shame. The overall care that I received was outstanding. I wish that I could have continued to go to the Clifton Park office but their practice was not on my medical plan's approved list. Unfortunately, paying out of pocket for routine cleaning and x-rays was not an option. Even though I had been going to a dentist closer to home (and on my program) for periodic check-ups and cleanings, when I needed a crown I went to Dr. Vu and to Ellen's office. I paid out of pocket because crowns were not covered in my dental plan (they just want to pull your teeth!). Because they are THAT GOOD! I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Vu and Ellen. Unfortunately, once again, their practice is not on my fiance's dental plan's approved list, which is really a bummer.
