The office staff were quick to greet me upon arrival, friendly, efficient and helpful (I hadn't registered them as my dentist choice with my insurance provider). The exam was quick and stress free and the dentist explained exactly what I needed for treatment. Cleaning was pain free and after polishing and a fluoride application I was out. So glad to have made this choice for my dentist!

I contacted Lala for a cleaning in October when my insurance changed and I decided to try the delta…read morecare USA plan. I had just been to my longtime dentist in may, and had had X-rays done at that time, so I knew my teeth were in good shape and I just needed cleanings. Lala insisted I get a full new X-ray panel that I had to pay $200 for. And after an hour in the chair I asked if we'd be doing the cleaning. The dentist came in and told me I had 3 cavities and deep gum pockets and ultimately wouldn't do a cleaning and gave me a referral to a periodontist. That didn't feel right so I left. After posting a review about this experience the office manager called and offered to refund the amount of the X-rays, which I would have been reimbursed through my hsa anyway, to take down my review, which I agreed to, and which is why I give the two stars. I upgraded my insurance plan to the regular ppo plan and went to Montclair dental. X-rays were covered and after about 10 minutes the dentist came in and told me my teeth and gums both looked great. They did the cleaning and told me they'd see me in 6 months. I suspect the dentists under the USA plan have to find other ways to generate income, and highly recommend paying the higher premium for legitimate dentists where you will ultimately get better care and pay less in the end.

Dr. Shin has been a game-changer for our whole family!…read more For me: I dread the dentist. I feel like I have to be hyper-aware just to avoid being pushed into aggressive treatments (like a crown that turns into a root canal). But Dr. Shin strikes the perfect balance between holistic care and traditional dentistry. She focuses on healing and prevention rather than jumping straight to intervention. Everything is explained clearly, and I always feel like a partner in my own care. Honestly, if I had found her sooner, I might've avoided a root canal altogether. For my kids - Dr. Shin is incredibly gentle and patient, especially with my 7-year-old who has a hard time sitting still. She doesn't push fluoride treatments, but to be clear, she's not extreme... just thoughtful and truly individualized in her approach. If you're looking for a kind, balanced, and knowledgeable dentist (who keeps up with the latest research and really listens)... go to Dr. Shin!!! Bonus: she takes Delta!

Over the course of treatment, I went through Invisalign, professional whitening, and ultimately two veneers on my front teeth. What stood out to me throughout the entire process was the level of care, attention to detail, and professionalism from Dr. Geleris and his entire team. Cosmetic work is extremely personal, and they took the time to listen to what I wanted, work through the details with me, and make sure the final result looked natural rather than overdone. The entire staff was consistently welcoming, responsive, and professional at every appointment. I never felt rushed, and it was clear that everyone genuinely cared about getting the best possible result. I'm extremely happy with how everything came together. My teeth look dramatically better while still looking like my teeth, which was exactly what I wanted. I've attached before-and-after photos because I think the results speak for themselves. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Geleris and his team to anyone considering Invisalign or cosmetic dental work.

I vowed not to go back to them, but when I had a dental emergency arise, I called them in pain and desperation. They were now rude to me, and told me they didn't want my business because they thought I was coming back just for the pain, not to be a regular patient. That might or might not have been true; my decision about whether to return long term was going to be based on how they treated me this time. I sure learned the answer to that question. I'm not happy about having to find a new dentist on short notice while in pain, but I guess I was going to have to find a new one anyway.

She's really there for you. Quite literally. I've gone to her for years for my regular pick and clean and the occasional filling. This past Saturday as I was working into the evening, I broke a molar on an uncooperative cashew. I called her line at 4 pm on a Saturday, and she left her family and drove out Saturday evening and made sure I'd be okay until she could do a crown a few days later. To add to this, I am also in the process of closing on a house, and I cannot touch anything in my bank account or put anything big on my credit card until the deal is done. She and her staff didn't even charge me (yet)--they're waiting until my deal goes through. All in all, Dr. Patel and her staff are not simply a dental office. They're more like a family--a family of unconditional tooth love. And they've earned my love and admiration as well.

Summary: Dr. Cobain provided initial Invisalign treatment with multiple limitations (limitations…read morethat I later found out aren't inherent to Invisalign) and left my front teeth angled inwards. Another orthodontist later fixed the angle of my teeth and provided results I found far superior. Post-treatment, Dr. Cobain dismissed valid symptoms as stress and sensitivity, sent me back with ill-fitting retainers, and failed to identify a bite interference that another orthodontist caught. Dr. Cobain has strong online reviews and comes across as confident, which is partly why I trusted him for longer than I should have. I'm sharing my experience so that others can make an informed decision. What I mention below is documented in appointment records and emails (I've attached photos of some of these records as part of my review). The original treatment: During my initial consultation, Cobain Orthodontics gave me a form noting that my treatment would have multiple limitations including "angle" and "detailed alignment." The paperwork stated that Dr. Cobain doesn't recommend Invisalign over braces, that "if you choose to move forward with Invisalign the result will not be ideal," and that patients may require braces at additional cost to get a better result. Based on this, I believed that Invisalign would have limitations regardless of which orthodontist provided the treatment. Despite the limitations, Dr. Cobain still charged what I considered a significant amount. I was very disappointed by the result: my teeth remained uneven and looked tilted even after treatment. I later got revision treatment and had multiple consultations before choosing a provider; every single other orthodontist I spoke with told me Invisalign can fix tooth angle -- something Dr. Cobain had listed as a limitation. My new orthodontist reviewed my records & photos from Dr. Cobain and identified multiple flaws. After revised treatment, I found my smile and teeth to be much more even and streamlined (comparison photo included). Orthodontic treatment is expensive and affects bite comfort, smile, and even facial symmetry. The provider's skill makes a huge difference; since consultations are generally free, I'd encourage others to meet multiple providers before choosing one. In my case, the detailed alignment I wanted was possible with Invisalign once I switched to a different doctor. Post-treatment: After not wearing my retainers for a while, I felt pain when putting them on again. I went to Dr. Cobain a couple of times, and he attributed my concerns to stress and clenching and told me to continue with the same retainers. I trusted a doctor's judgment and kept wearing the retainers despite the pain. I reached a point when the pain worsened and I could no longer bite down normally. I realized the problem was not stress but the retainers. I returned to Cobain Orthodontics urgently seeking care. I told Dr. Cobain that my teeth had shifted and showed him how my retainers wouldn't fully seat. He told me to bite down on the retainers. I told him that this caused intense pain. He said the problem was my "sensitivity." I told him I was having severe bite issues that left me unable to sleep. He attributed this to stress. I asked, repeatedly, if I could pay for orthodontic treatment. He refused, saying there was no indication further treatment was needed. I asked if we could at least take orthodontic photographs to clarify where my teeth were shifting. He declined that too. I got a second opinion from a different orthodontist, who quickly identified that the retainers weren't safe to wear. The pain that I'd been experiencing? It was because the ill-fitting retainers had been putting intense, misplaced pressure on my teeth, especially my left canine; this canine angled inward so severely that it made premature contact with the lower tooth in a way that it prevented the rest of my bite from closing; at its most severe it left me unable to sleep for multiple nights because each time I relaxed my jaw, the tooth hit in a way that jolted me awake with pain. The other orthodontist identified this as an occlusal interference -- different from a regular hard-hitting tooth; it wasn't due to normal tooth shifting but instead due to forced movement from the ill-fitting retainers, and I needed further treatment to correct it. I got new retainers from another provider and transferred my case. When I sent orthodontic photographs documenting what had happened to my teeth, Cobain Orthodontics switched from claiming that I had problems tolerating retainers to stating in an email that they had "no record of any reported issues or pain post treatment for 18 months while wearing retainers" -- a statement that contradicts their notes and email correspondence. I really wish I had chosen a different provider from the start.
