I visited Bayonne Smiles Center for the first time and had a great experience. The receptionist was…read morefriendly and my wait time was less than 10 minutes. I had already filled out the forms online so that saved a lot of time. First, I had x-rays taken and cleaning done by Gina who was very friendly and competent. Then, Dr Espinoza who was also very polite and friendly did the check up and recommendations. The office is in a quieter area of Bayonne so there was no problem finding street parking being that I'm a resident. Make sure you have a resident pass. If you're visiting from another town I would suggest parking on Broadway (metered parking). I'll keep going to Bayonne Smiles for my regular check up and treatment and will update my review afterwards.

He's not only knowledgeable about the latest advancements in dentistry but also possesses a compassionate and caring demeanor. I can't express enough how much I appreciate the level of care I've received from him and his team. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Youssef without any reservations.

I love dr. Alter and while recommending him to a friend I looked up his yelp rating. Yelp has…read morehidden 11 five star reviews for him. Not sure I understand, but I'll add my 2 cents. I have been a patient more than 10 years and love that he has the same staff he had when I started! Beverly is sweet and funny, and Maria treats you like family. Dr alter has Sunday hours in the early morning, and that's so convenient for kids who play sports. Dr alter is really gentle and caring and checks on your comfort throughout your procedure. I have had no issues with his work, which include 2 implants, bonding on my front teeth and 3 recent cavities. He also changed some old silver fillings to white at my request. My only negative is that sometimes street parking is tough, but there is a public lot behind the school about a block away.

I am extremely happy to have found this dental office…read more The receptionist, Beverly is very welcoming, warm, kind, and helpful. Kathleen, the dental hygienist is very knowledgeable and helps you learn how to properly take care of your teeth and gums. She also gives the ABSOLUTE BEST teeth cleanings! She really takes her time and explains everything as she goes along. I have seen both Dr. Alter and Dr. Seleven. Both of them are amazing dentists. They keep you informed the whole way through and really listen to your concerns. They are very thorough and very caring. Also, this office is exceptionally clean. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing dental care!

I tried to have my husband seen today for an emergency dentist visit over the weekend while he…read morewas in extreme dental pain. Their website (or ad) states they accept emergency visits and my insurance, yet they refused to treat him because they couldn't verify my insurance on the weekend. Instead of helping relieve his pain or offer a reasonable solution, they told me we'd have to pay $450-$600 out of pocket, with no guarantee of reimbursement. They showed no real concern for the urgency of husbands situation or the pain he was in. If you're in severe pain and expecting actual emergency care--as advertised--be warned. They seem more focused on upfront payments than helping patients.

As someone who absolutely LUVS & is ADDICTED to "sweets" I can honestly say, I paid the price... with my teeth...

Not surprising , considering the EXCELLENT care I received from her Dad, & Dr. Padrone who continued when Dr.Tom retired... Whilst I'm still undergoing treatment, Dr. Gwen is giving me the smile I only dreamed about, especially since she had to basically "re-do" (REPAIR) the MESS another dENTIST (Dr. H.H.

And b.t.w., had REFUSED to take ANY responsibility for, while ripping me off in the meantime, even refusing to send my X-Rays to Dr. Aurori, who incidentally retired waiting...!!!

And I want you to know that I am being very diplomatic and kind in this review. It is significant to note that virtually all of my dentists have each been with me for twenty year periods of time before they either retired, or I moved. And most of them were very fine people, who became very good friends of mine. You may differ in your experience or opinion with / of her but I can only state the honest truth of what she did to me.

At this place the dentist i saw was too talkative and over friendly. I mean come on, i see you 2 times a year and no one enjoys going to the dentist....why do you need to converse so much.

Advances in dental sleep medicine allow these patients to finally get a restful nights sleep without the use of CPAP therapy. With a CPAP failure rate of ~50%, dental sleep medicine has emerged as an effective alternative to CPAP in most cases. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is one of the greatest public health issues we face as a nation. Untreated OSA patients die on average 18 years younger than healthy patients due to the devastating comorbidities of OSA.

This place is a total joke. The office was fully aware what company I had as my dental insurer. I…read morewas told they would accept my insurance by an unnamed secretary. An appointment was scheduled but my pain increased. I called the office and left a message asking if they could possibly fit me in earlier. The doctor himself called me late in the evening to confirm that I could come in on an earlier date. He assured me that they would work on me that day. I arrived slightly early to complete the lengthy paperwork. The paperwork stipulated who I had for insurance once again. For some bizarre reason the doctor asked me if I was employed full time. Obviously if he had read the forms I had just submitted he would have seen I was unemployed. A woman who barely spoke English took my x-rays. She told me she doesn't handle the insurance paperwork the person that does that will be coming in later in the week and I need to call her for the approval of the work. No work was done on the day despite the fact that a few days earlier the doctor himself called me assuring me that I will be relieved of pain on my first visit. I was told to call to speak to the receptionist to confirm that they had gotten approval for my root canal from my insurance company. I must have called 20 times to leave messages and to speak to an individual named Kayla. Each and every time I was given another more ridiculous excuse including... that the person that usually handles their insurance is on vacation for two weeks and they have no way of reaching her. This means that nobody, and I mean absolutely nobody who has insurance would be able to get confirmation from their insurance company within this two week time frame. Stupidity like that would grind any dental practice to a complete halt. Obviously they were lying to me. Even my insurance company couldn't get ahold of whomever is supposed to handle insurance for this office. There's a dental portal that the information could have been quickly and easily submitted through for emergency service. Apparently nobody at this office is aware of that. They're unprofessionalism and complete stupidity setback my root canal 2 months. Thank God I found a much more competent office in a neighboring town to do my root canal. Oh, by the way they did take my x-rays exposing me to unneeded radiation and charging my dental insurance company for this. Why the hell would you take a person's x-rays without actually following through for them to get the root canal? These people are complete idiots. Avoid this office at all possible costs. Go anywhere! I mean literally anywhere but this place unless you want to waste your time and needlessly linger in agony.
