WOW! Everything is next level at this office. From the aesthetics to the front desk care and of course the dental work, this place is top notch. You can tell it's a place where they care about their patient. Best cleaning of my life too, the hygienist Lana is outstanding. Dr. Taft's office is truly magic, and you don't say that about the dentist ... ever. read more

They charged me $274 for fillings I never got and they refuse to refund me. They also over charge for typical procedures by orders of magnitude and pressure patients into letting them do procedures that other professionals who work with them recommend against doing. They should be investigated, forced to refund everyone they over charge and be shut down. They also violated HIPAA when they last responded to me in this app, although they've since edited that post to remove the offending comment about my "tooth ache." https://nextdoor.com/p/mggrtYqYDm6C?utm_source=share&slp=&share_platform=10&extras=MjkyMTcwNDg%3D&utm_campaign=1738552262157 read more

Arverne Dental - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Queens, New York

The office is clean, nice, hi-tech. The team knows me and my family personally, very kind and helpful

If I could give a 0 I would. The most scammy dental office in the Rockaways. They want you to pay out of pocket for treatment then get reimbursed for services. I had asked for a predetermination claim before services yet 2 weeks later, I'm told by Gene there "may have been a glitch". Seriously! I asked for my downpayment back and will be seeking another dentist. Stay clear away from these frauds. The front desk, Gene all of them are suspect. This was my second time at this office, won't be a third. Don't go here! As you can see the owner is mad because I called out the shotty service provided. It's ok, trust me the entire Rockaway knows how bad this dental office is, and we can't wait for you to leave our community. Thanks for refunding my money expeditiously. Much appreciated and as I told you before Lubya, be great, just not in our neighborhood. read more

DO not go to this office. I was told I had 13 cavities and needed work that would cost more than $11,000.00. I left the office in tears. When I went to another dentist for a second opinion, I was told I have 1 cavitie. Arverne Dental called multiple times to ask when I was coning in to start treatment. I also received several letters in the mail from Dr Taft saying she was concerned about my teeth. This office is a total scam. Do your homework! read more

I'm a bit late writing this review but as they say better late then never. I got several dental implants back in 2020 and I am happy to report nearly 5 years later they are still as good as the day they went in. If considering implants Arverne Dental is the way to go. Two years after my work was completed Arverne Dental gave me a check for almost three thousand dollars for procedures my insurance company ended up covering. It came as a complete surprise to me as my insurance company never notified me. Their professionalism, quality work and honesty is a combination tough to find these days. read more

Went for a tooth pulled. I thought I had great insurance but a $90 co-pay had me questioning that. I left and went straight to a different place and was told there's no co-pay with my insurance. I know everywhere is different but after reading the other reviews I'm starting to think something fishy is definitely going on. read more

All the scare traffic reviews are absolutely true. Was given a payment plan for several thousand dollars explained to me by the business manager instead of the doctor. Found a new dentist and 2 fillings and $30 later i couldn't be happier. AVOID AVOID AVOID read more

Amazing experience, so transparent and very friendly! My forever dental practice. I have seen many dentists in the past with no help, they were very expensive and never explained anything. read more

I went in early to see if I had to do any extra paperwork. We didn't even make it to my appointment because the gentleman started the upsell after he found out I had great insurance. We must refer you to an oral surgeon we must do x-rays we must do panoramic x-ray you will not be receiving any treatment today. These are his exact words. This is an emergency visit...! I have two impacted wisdom teeth on the top that need to come out as emergency extractions I have one filling that is extremely painful I needed to be filled immediately. This is all on the paperwork I filled out. I reiterated to the gentleman that I need this treatment today this is emergency visit that if he can't do it I will go to another dentist so then he charged me for the visit. Naturally i get upset and leave. After I leave he follows me outside to give me my ID that I left behind in disgust... he then starts to argue with me calling me a pussy trying to instigate a fight. Scum is the word that comes to mind. Why would I ever go to the dentist??? No absolutely not. Go commit insurance fraud somewhere else we need emergency treatment in the hood that is reliable and dependable not greedy. read more

Amazing people . Amazing office. Im scared of the dentist very very - but visit there make me more brave . Whole stuff is -like i said before - Amazing! Try them out read more

I was always afraid of the dental experience, but not with Arverne Dental, all around great experience from Dr Taft ..to all of her staff, I am so comfortable at the dentists now, that I go when I even THINK I have a dental problem lol read more

$399 of 5 payments later and constant visits with most of the money coming out of my pocket and I was told that the Dr working on my mouth was doing "preventative maintenance for the future" as well as the manger or maintenance guy who runs the show at that scam likely place. sat me down for which I thought was a consultation however, he began putting his fingers in my mouth asking what I was eating and what my daily gagging routines were??? whatever that means, and then when asked who he was or what he was doing he said he wasn't a doctor at all which disturb me to the highest. throughout my time there he also would lurk around the females in the office, as well as Eye certain patients. read more

Staff was very nice and informative. Office is clean and very festive. Up to date technology.

Very tentative to patient, I would recommend anyone to visit. Thank you for your service

I highly recommend Arverne dental and am so glad we have this practice in the neighborhood. I needed to get a series of deep cleanings and it was such a relief not to have to go into Brooklyn or Manhattan to have this done. Everyone is so nice- the dentists, hygienists, and front desk staff are super friendly and helpful. So glad to have found a great dentist so close to home! read more

See all

Staff is very polite, informative and respectful. Takes their time to explain the procedures to you and very thorough.

Very modern and clean office, friendly doctor. However! Do your homework and compare prices, as noted below some procedures are completely overpriced and "scare tactics" are used to push you into them. read more

I've gone to this dentist now a handful of times and each time their staff made sure I was comfortable and knowledgeable about whatever the procedure I needed or was about to have done. Im always impressed by how painless any procedure I have with them turns out to be read more

I was visiting Rockaway and had A dental emergency.Now I usually use yelp for anything from restaurants to hardware stores and sometimes they are hit or miss.So I was A little nervous using yelp for something so important and personal like A dentist especially during these days of covid.Thankfully it was an incredible experience from beginning to end. The young lady who answered the phone was so friendly and efficient and everything was so high tech.She emailed me all the forms.Which was so easy to fill out on line and in no time they were escorting me into to see the dentist and that's when I really got blown away.Not only did everything look brand new but it was all so high tech.The most comfortable space age massage chair,tv's,monitors,x-ray machines etc. Now for the best part of it because everything I mentioned would mean nothing without A good dentist and she was not good she was great.After thoughtful analysis she figured out how to painlessly fix my tooth.Also,even knowing I was only visiting the area she pointed out some other issue's she noticed and suggested I should discuss them with my own dentist before they turned into more serious issues.She knew her stuff good things do come in small packages(you will actually need to be treated by her to see what I mean by that).Finally the bill and that was the final shock.I pay 4 times the amount with my usual dentist for the same services.I am not related to anyone in the office.I was not paid for this review.As A matter of fact this is only the 2nd review I have ever written.This was my personal experience and things are relative.In the end for me they transformed an awful emergency into A wonderful experience and for that I will always be grateful. read more

She has been consistently amazing with gentle touch, thorough, professional work ethic & great communication.

I have been a patient along with my wife and 3 kids ( now adults) 10 years. Dr Taft's new office in Rockaway in the Beach 86th St shopping plaza is super high tech and soothing.

Arverne Dental - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Queens, New York

I made an appointment through Zocdoc for ProHEALTH Dental Howard Beach and I called the day before to confirm my appointment for the following day. I came to the dentist and they were CLOSED!! I spent 50 bucks on a Uber to get there and no one was there. I called Zocdoc back and for some reason they had a hard time trying to find a dentist nearby. So i googled a dentist around Far Rockaway and Dr. Taft's office popped up. I walked in as an emergency cause I was in excruciating pain. (Broken tooth, swollen gums). She took care of me. Dr. Taft was very compassionate. I'm very happy the pain is gone considering I had it for two weeks and it was hard for me to find a dentist because of my work schedule. I will definitely be coming back to her. She's great! read more

This place looks absolutely amazing. I have been a patient for years and found on zoc doc originally. I didn't think the office could get better and NOW there is a parking lot. The service has even improved and i didnt think it needed to. Great work read more

I don't recommend this dental office because I contact my insurance company about a procedure that was done and the insurance company told me that they charge me twice for the same thing these people are rip off people they are scam just knowing that from my insurance company being billed for the same thing twice this is why they only deal with Medicaid people people that has good insurance they take advantage of and try to charge them twice for whatever Bad experience waiting room it's always packed and they put people just the waiting room and you'll be there for like 3 4 hours waiting because they money hungry it's all about Money they don't care about the services that's why I don't recommend people to go there because all they wanna do is just charge the insurance they don't care about you I care about money this is why they will have to deal with hood people be with us on Maddie came up people that has good insurance and I'm going to write to my Insurancecompany insurance fraud so you guys look about insurance I advise you to check any procedure or any work that's done at the dental office because you'll get filled with 2 3 are the same thing contact insurance company and you'll see this but to killer dental office bills you twice or three times for the same procedure so they trying to get money off the insurance company so guys be careful they are scammers scammers they don't care about you any thing you need they will not give you no documentation or anything that you need so please guy I'm begging you to not go to the dental office because if you need a copy of x-ray copy of any work that's being done you would not get it from these people they tell you they not obligated to give you a bylaw you and cycle for a copy of your ex straight or any picture work that's being done in your mouth if they don't know that you have an appointment and the way it's like three or four hours wait in the room because they want to get all the customers they can get but the service is not good the staff at the front desk amazing that man that work there his attitude is nasty he don't know how to talk to people and he have to realize that he's in the hood read more

Dr.Taft , is the best dentist I've ever went to. I'm not an easy patient, my teeth are very sensitive, and I'm very scared to treat cavities. Dr. Taft, is so patient with me, I can't thank her enough. She is a good woman, with the biggest heart. I highly recommend her,if you are looking for a doctor to go to- she is THE ONE!!!! I'm so glad I can leave a review, to let other people know how amazing she really is. read more

I have been going here for almost 5 years. Their staff and doctors are the best. They street professional, kind and always do their best to work with you. I highly recommend them, you won't be disappointed. read more

Lets start off by saying scare tactics. Although the staff is welcoming and kind they are taught to scare you into procedures. The dentist herself is very forceful and condensending and undermines her staff. "Go away " was the term used by a hygienist to a staff member. They force you into very expensive procedures instead of trying to save your teeth and practically over charge your insurance and get the most money out of you instead of trying to work with you. Please get a second opinion if you go with this place because they will ruin teeth that are salvageable and propose pricey procedures after words since they already "dug things up" I went in because my filling that SHE put in came out and once I told them I needed time to arrange my $14,000 Bill, they almost refused to fill back my tooth and told me cvs has temporary filler I can buy and to "keep filling it till my tooth breaks, then the major decisions will happen". Consider all your options before you come here please. It's all money to them even though she acts like she cares. Last time I checked, their oath was about compassion and kindness not rudeness when you can't afford pricey procedures. read more

Friendly front desk, hygienists, and Doctor. So far I have received a cleaning and a temporary filling. I will be returning shortly and will update my review. read more

I love Arverne Dental! The staff is warm and friendly and you get the sense that Dr. Taft truly cares about every single patient. They are honest and up front about what needs to be done and try their best to work within your comfort zone. I can't see myself going anywhere else! read more

First off these people are rip offs and likes to push scare tactics and slam you with expensive treatment plans and very manipulative. But that's not the reason for this review and 1 star. Me and my mother set a time for 11:20 and they changed it to 11am then called to ask if I can come a hour later so 10 or 9:30 am if I can which they called me while sleeping. I turned down the rescheduling and proceeded to get there. My mother who drove me there which is a very bad neighborhood on arrival my mom spoke her opinion which I completely stand with her that they should not be moving my time everywhere and be upset when we don't conform to what they ask. The owner had a nasty attitude and the head dentist the woman aswell. They cut off my treatment because they wanted my mom to wait in the car as they ain't want her in the place because she asked for the owner name and head dentist since they threatened to cut off my treatment. They continued to be salty and felt like they ego was hurt so the manager genn or however you pronounce his name ordered the doctor who wanted to do the work not to move as if she was a soldier. Things got so out of hand that police had to be called. I do not recommend this place to anybody and if your reading this right now especially if your black or person of color or simply if ya not white! DONT GO TO THIS PLACE SAVE YA SELF FROM THE WASTE OF TIME THIS PLACE IS! read more

I ve had a great experience at this office! Dr. Taft is a very professional and experienced dentist. I have had a very difficult time finding (and staying with) a dentist who would put me at ease and not allow my dentist anxiety take over my existance :)) During my first visit I realized I've hit gold. Dr. Taft has become our family dentist and my search is finally over! I highly recommend this office to everyone with and without dentist anxiety :)) read more

I am long time going to Dr Taft and love it, if you can say this about going to dentist... the office very clean and well organized. They are located just one block from subway which is great. They are very accommodating with schedule. But the most important doctor has a lot of patience and great skills. After we start going to Dr Luba my daughter actually stop fighting me every time we need to go to dentist! read more

I've seen many doctors who close their office for a day as the official working hours are over. And who can blame them for it? But Dr. Taft is different. Her office works around patients' schedule. I can't tell you how many times I've asked for later appointments and never was rejected or offered "Oh, I have another window in a week, maybe you could come next time". Even with later appointments I managed sometimes to be late. Nevertheless, I was always greeted with the smile. This office is dedicated to patients' needs, and they understand those needs. Have you heard of a doctor who would come on the weekend to the office specifically to see you only because you would be in pain? Most of them would suggest you to go to the nearest ER. But Dr. Taft came to the office and spent as much time as needed. Very well organized, highly professional, clean, respectful and always with a smile and a joke to put people at ease, not at stress. I highly recommend Dr. Luba Taft and her office to everyone. The difference between ordinary and extra-ordinary is a little extra that makes a big difference! Dr. Taft makes you to feel that difference! Every time! read more
