My dentist was also on vacation, but he had a substitute who saw me and referred me to the top oral surgeon in Westchester. Dr. Jeffrey I. Stein, 4 Cromwell Place, White Plains, NY 10601 (914) 761-4567 extracted the tooth and cleaned up the infection. He placed me on antibiotics for a week and provided written and oral instructions to both me and my husband for my post-operative care. This trauma was virtually pain-free with no complications, and I am enjoying my cruise and beginning to eat regular food again. The staff and doctor were extraordinarily skilled and compassionate. If you need a top oral surgeon, see Dr. Stein.

Went into the office to have a pretty regular wisdom teeth extraction. My husband is covered under…read moreour dental policy. As a new patient we filled out the usual forms including providing insurance information. Never occurred to us that the practice does not take dental insurance. A wisdom tooth extraction is a pretty common procedure. I've had all four of mine extracted at one time or another. All covered by dental insurance with no problems. My husband came out of the evaluation. Then they informed us it was 260.00 for the x-rays and that they don't take any dental insurance. Then they informed us that the procedure for all four extractions would be $3,000.00!!! I informed them that they will not be our dental surgeon. If you are rich go ahead. But at the very least this practice should tell you that they don't take dental insurance first thing. Very misleading. Bye-bye!

The procedure was over quickly after they took the time to let the nitrous oxide and novacaine dull my senses. I heard the also offer general anesthesia. I might have considered that if I was having more done. They gave me plenty of time to recover and did not rush me out. They sent me home with an ice pack, some extra gauze and instructions on how to care for the site. Staff was friendly and explained the bill to me before and after (and nothing changed). The doctor even called me at home that evening to see how I was healing. Gentle but strong - good qualities for an oral surgeon. If you need oral surgery, call these guys.

I consulted with Dr. Malka Loeb on May 5, 2026, regarding two front crowns. During my treatment…read moreappointment on May 19, an additional third crown was recommended while I was already in the dental chair preparing for the procedure. I ultimately agreed, but I wish this discussion had taken place during the consultation so I could have considered the treatment and financial implications beforehand. The most concerning part of my experience occurred during my crown placement appointment on June 9. When I respectfully shared this feedback and mentioned that I had already discussed a payment plan for the additional crown with the office manager, Dr. Loeb abruptly left the room and stated that she would not cement my crowns unless payment was made in full. As a patient in the middle of treatment, with three prepared teeth awaiting final restoration, I felt scared, vulnerable, and distressed. I understand that dental practices have payment policies, but I did not expect my concerns to be met in this manner, especially after I had already been working with the office on a payment arrangement. I appreciate Dr. Roman, the office manager, and the practice owner for stepping in, resolving the situation, and allowing my treatment to be completed. However, I believe patients deserve clear communication, professionalism, and respect, especially when they are in such a vulnerable position.

Do not come here. I…read morewas looking for a new local dentist. They were able to fit me in, so I stopped in. They said they take insurance and they were listed on providers that my insurance company covers. WP Dental told me I had to pay for all visits upfront in cash before I could be seen and then they would contact my insurance company. I have never experienced this before and this is very illegal. I went in for a follow up because I had jaw pain. I waited over an hour to be seen and I ended up walking out. I do not recommend this place due to price gauging and lack of professionalism.

I would rate this practice (Dentists4kids) all the stars in the sky - they are that good; from the…read moredentists to the hygienist to the front desk and all the staff in-between! My goal was met - provide my daughter with excellent, compassionate dental care as a child that would set her on a path of lifelong great oral health. My daughter is now almost 30 and has never had a cavity and cleans her back teeth well. As well, she now sets her own goals for her dental visits and has received comments from the hygienist that she flosses so well, that she makes their job easy. I'm not sure if my daughter was the first, but I do know she was given "the talk" from Dr. Patel. As a mother, I was prepared to pick up the pieces after the talk, but it was delivered with compassion and received well. The talk was, "we love having you as a patient, but now that you have outgrown our pediatric equipment (my daughter and I are both 5'9") you are going to have to find another provider when you come home from college. Parents - if you are looking for a community to support your child's health through excellent dental care, this is it. We miss you all! Deej and Mom

After being treated there this is my review of the treatment. I went to get my cavities taken care…read moreof. My doctor was Dr. Kim. My biggest problem with him/facility is his communication skills. If I am going to stay with my mouth open for you for an hour or so, is it too much to ask that a doctor talks to you and tells you WTH he is going to do to you? He acts perturbed by every single question or discussion he has to do with you. Dr. Kim gave me anesthesia and showed a tremendous amount of impatience to start working on my teeth. It was almost like he was late for his flight. He barely explained anything and started ramming into my teeth. After he is done, he barely said anything and I had to ask, "Can I leave?". He said "Yes, come back after 6 months". It has been about 4 days since I got the treatment done. I still don't feel quite alright. It still hurts and I feel my procedure was done in a hurry with little or no attention.

Honestly, I was made to feel welcome and comfortable both by the friendly competence of the staff and the pleasant environment of the office.

Brilliant Oral Surgeon & Prosthodontist…read more Dr. Joseph Carpentieri, DDS is a brilliant oral surgeon and prosthodontist. These dual specialties enable him to perform oral surgery (e.g., extract teeth and install implants) in preparation for restoring my teeth with implant crowns. Dr. Carpentieri is a consummate professional who is dedicated to providing the highest quality of care to his patients! He is meticulous, thorough and has a wonderful aesthetic sense. He communicates beautifully and is patient and responsive to all questions. Moreover, he is very kind and compassionate. He called me following each oral surgery to ensure that I was not experiencing any pain. Dr. Carpentieri has impeccable credentials and has been trained by the foremost specialists in the field of dentistry. He graduated magna cum laude from the University of Maryland/Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. He received his Prosthodontics Specialty Certificate from Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center, followed by a four year fellowship in the Department of Periodontology and Implant Dentistry at NYU College of Dentistry. I trust Dr. Carpentieri implicitly and highly recommend him without reservation! Moreover, his dental staff deserves high marks for competence, compassion and efficiency.
