I knew ahead time that this visit would only be x-rays since it's been a while since I've had them done and it was in a different state. Eve was upbeat when asking me questions about my dental history and then we got to talking about my upcoming wedding. I felt very comfortable tasking with everyone that I saw today. After my screening and having photos taken of all my teeth (so cool to see) I was told that they could fit me in with a cleaning that same day. I know this isn't the norm but I was more than happy to not have to make a shirt follow up visit. As I was leaving after my cleaning, one of the receptionists noticed I didn't have an umbrella and it was getting ready to rain. She graciously asked if I wanted one because they had some extras! Such a thoughtful group of people who deserve the excellent reviews they currently have!

I'm leaving this review to document my experience at Atlas Dental Specialists (Shadyside) for two…read morefront-tooth crowns. While the office is professional on the surface, my experience overall was extremely frustrating and costly. After my permanent crowns were placed, I developed persistent sensitivity in my right front tooth (cold and hot) that did not improve over time. I also felt a noticeable ledge/step on the back side of the crown near the gumline, which made me concerned about the fit/contour. Aesthetically, the crowns also looked longer and bulkier than expected with heavier incisal edges than what I was aiming for. When I tried to address these concerns, I was advised to pay for additional diagnostics (a wax diagnostic). After I paid for it, the office later terminated the patient-provider relationship instead of completing the planned corrections. What made the situation especially difficult was the refund process: the office confirmed in writing the refund amounts, but repeatedly stated the refund would only be processed if I signed a broad "release/indemnification" agreement exactly as written. The agreement was extremely one-sided. It went far beyond acknowledging a refund and included sweeping waivers and protections for the office, along with a "non-disparagement/online statements" section that, in my view, would discourage patients from speaking openly online about their experience. I was not comfortable signing something like that just to receive an agreed refund. Overall, I'm deeply disappointed by how concerns were handled. The communication and resolution process felt dismissive and, at times, misleading - more focused on protecting the office than responsibly addressing the problem. My takeaway is that the approach felt money-driven, and I left feeling I couldn't trust the process. I would encourage anyone considering treatment here to do thorough due diligence and not rely solely on online ratings.

Before the doctor even talked to me, He started to yell about how old the scans I brought in were.

I sat and said nothing, because I was so surprised by his demeanor. I was there because my dentist referred me because In the process of getting an implant it was discovered I had some bone loss that needed addressed for the implant to work The treatment plan he suggested was very invasive and costly.

He immediately explained on the phone that he does not take insurance and that he is able to set up a payment plan for future visits. When I walked in and met with Dr. Sams, I immediately knew I could trust him. He asked me about my problems and then when we got into the exam, he could tell exactly what I meant when I was telling him about my symptoms. He validated everything that I was worried about and explained everything to me and was very patient. He even handed me a mirror and showed me the things that he was pointing to in my mouth. While I would prefer a doctor who takes my dental insurance, I have no problem going to him and paying out-of-pocket.

I called Dr. Sams, he was very nice on the phone and he told me how much it would be, and to see him at 3 pm. Not only was he nice to me, but I had my elderly step mom with me, and he was very nice to her as well. He had no problem making me feel less anxious. He was very calming and kept telling me I was doing well and to breathe. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is having an emergency. He is all around a great guy. He told me he could do three different percedures, and I chose to have the tooth removed. He drew a tooth on paper and showed me what he would do for a root canal for so much money, and they he said he could remove the tooth for $377, but this included the exam and X-ray. It showed I had an infection into my jaw from my tooth. When he was done, he showed me the tooth so I could see it came out in one piece. Gave me pain meds and antibiotics. Great care.

Dr. Toth and his wife (the office manager) always ask about my parents and my grandma and share funny stories about times my family members were at the dentist. I have been petrified by any type of dental procedure since I was little--and have had to have a fair amount of dental work including fillings, caps, broken tooth repair... Dr. Toth is extremely gentle and caring, never rushes you, scares you, makes you feel guilty or leaves you unsure of what is going on. Dr. Toth also knows that my worst fear is getting the Novocaine shot...UGH! Just this past month I had to have a small chip filled to prevent it from becoming a cavity. Dr. Toth remembered how much I hate the shot as said we could try it without the shot to start and then if it became too painful he would give me the shot. Thanks to how gentle and skilled Dr. Toth is...no shot! Best of all, my appointment was at 9:45 and I was out the door by 10:10! I would recommend Dr. Toth and everyone in his office to anyone. He is truly an amazing dentist.

This is personal preference, but I expect my dental care team to care about their dental health and it was surprising to hear about a chronic smoking habit.

On the topic of x-rays, the first set didn't save on my first visit and I had to do them twice, and most recently they weren't able to be taken.
