Aside from regular cleanings I've done invisalign. I've come to know the staff and they me in all these years. I've had many compliments on my smile and it's important to me.

You're greeted with a personal tour, calming vibes, and a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Trudeau himself. It all feels very bespoke and premium--because it is. And you'll be paying for it. The hygienists and techs are genuinely wonderful--skilled, gentle, and clearly take pride in their work. But behind the warm welcome and polished experience is a persistent push for additional dental services, whether you need them or not. In my case, I was strongly encouraged to get a deep gum cleaning--a procedure I've since been told by multiple dentists was unnecessary. I get the impression this is a standard "recommendation" for most new patients. Pricing is higher than other practices I've visited, and the billing system feels stuck in the past. There's no online payment option, and if you move without updating your address, they won't hesitate to send you to collections. Miss an appointment they scheduled for you? That'll be a $100 no-show fee. Overall, if you're looking for a very polished, high-touch dental experience and don't mind paying extra--or getting more work than you likely need--this might be the place for you. Just make sure your calendar and address are perfectly up to date.

I have a small mouth. Because of that the xrays cut my lower mouth under the tongue as usual .but Dr. put on a topical ointment that stopped the pain. I never had that treatment before and will always ask for that after ex rays. Hard to find consistency with medical and dental care so I hope Dr. Aalam is still there when I need yearly exams.

I was recommended to come here by a friend after having bad dentist experiences in my past. I was…read moreso nervous but the anxiety faded away as everyone was SO nice and professional here. Shoutout Anita and Tia the front desk ladies who were so kind, Zeena who did all my X-rays, teeth cleaning, and evaluations (she truly made my experience she was so sweet and made me feel so safe), and Dr. Sidhu who was the kindest dentist I've ever had. Zeena and Dr. Sidhu explained my problems in a way I could understand and made me feel like progress was achievable. They were so supportive and I left feeling happier than when I came in, and motivated to really take care of my teeth. So excited to have found this gem of a dentist team.

She told me I needed a crown, which I did not. She hit my tooth-nerve, the tech put it in the notes…read moreso I found out later but she did not tell me when it happened. I went through tremendous pain and the crown that caused the root canal I didn't need recently failed. Years of pain and disaster. She also influences yelp to take down local reviews that say anything negative.

The only reason that this practice gets a star is because my dental tech (Sam, I think her name…read moremight've been?). She was so friendly and made me feel so welcome - I really appreciated that. The 1 star is for her, and her alone. I had really high hopes for this practice - and it looks like many people end up happy with their care. Personally, I did not. I didn't walk out of my first appointment with much of a desire to return. My primary issues with this practice are: (1) They brushed over one of my main concerns; (2) For a holistic dentist practice, their preliminary recommendations weren't very conservative; and (3) Their receptionists are disorganized and unprofessional. (1) One of my primary concerns was sensitivity that was very clearly coming from the surface of one particular molar. Dr. Ismael said she saw nothing wrong with the molar and that the discomfort was simply referred pain from my closest wisdom tooth. Which would make sense... except for the fact that my wisdom tooth has never caused me any discomfort in my life. Flash forward - two separate dentists confirmed afterwards that my molar was in fact the problem, and one was even able to mitigate the issue with a quick application of a topical product, which further confirms that it wasn't referred pain at all. The dismissal of my concerns left me unimpressed, and made me question the integrity of her other recommendations. (2) I emphasized that I wanted to be as conservative as possible and not extract any unnecessary teeth. That partially informed my decision to see a holistic dentist to begin with. I figured that a practice focused on non-toxic products and holistic healing would also take a conservative approach with dental care and not remove teeth unless absolutely necessary. I also mentioned that I might be interested in orthodontia down the line. I think this was a mistake, because the second I said that, I was told five teeth would absolutely need to come out - four wisdom teeth and a molar. On a second opinion, I was told that two wisdom teeth needed to come out, but that while removing all four was typically recommended, it was not necessary. On a third opinion, I was told the exact same. I recognize that there are differences of professional opinion, and I'm sure Dr. Ismael wasn't pulling her recommendations out of thin air here (and to be completely fair/transparent, she did say an oral surgeon might think differently), but I do think her preliminary insights were cookie-cutter and neglected to take into consideration my own preferences and concerns. I'm grateful that I sought multiple perspectives and am not afraid to advocate for myself, and I encourage you to as well. (3) While I was waiting to check out, the receptionists bickered over who would complete a set of paperwork. One audibly complained about not being able to go on her lunch break as early as she wanted to. They messed up on my paperwork the first time, and despite an empty waiting room, I was made to wait an hour before I could be checked out. I had to ask what the status of my check out paperwork was, otherwise I'd probably STILL be there! I'm patient, but an hour? Overall, not the best environment. I booked an appointment with a different dentist the moment I got in my car. I noticed that Dr. Godes comments on a lot of negative reviews, so in anticipation of that, I want to say this: I stand by everything I've written here, and this is my honest and fair assessment of this practice. I really value holistic practitioners, and they've changed my life in many ways, so I was excited to make an appointment here. But ultimately, I didn't feel that my concerns were addressed, or that there was a good faith attempt to make a minimally invasive recommendation. I was also surprised by the lack of professionalism on the receptionists' part, and that makes me wary to deal with them again re: billing/appointments/etc. To whoever's reading this - I do hope you absolutely love your experience here, but I caution you to get a second opinion.

I've had several excellent experiences with Dr. Etesse and her team. I HATE going to the dentist bc…read moreI've had to have so much big work done over the years. Even getting my teeth cleaned makes me feel awful from ptsd from prior work. I started out here just having my teeth cleaned and some issues were found during that exam. I didn't want to get more implants bc I've had 4 that failed from infections and each one of those had to be removed and took a year to heal. I have a space where I need teeth but I've gotten by with a flipper which isn't ideal. I took a chance on seeing Dr. Steinberg who does the oral surgery part of the practice. He explained a bunch of things that made me feel like I'd be willing to try implants again, but I was really scared. I couldn't believe the difference in how I felt after getting the 2 new implants. I wasn't beaten up or bruised in the face, I didn't have big hunks of gum tissue hanging in my mouth with loose stitches and lots of bleeding and I didn't feel awful in the head even though I had their sedation method. Now, I have 2 implants that haven't gotten infected and are healing well. I waited a few weeks to write this just to make sure. All of that is due to Dr. Steinberg and his expertise. I wouldn't have even considered talking with him if Dr. Etesse hadn't been so kind to me and made every effort not to hurt me. Their hygienists are awesome and don't hurt and Norma is a genius with matching tooth colors, she's an artist! Samantha at the front is always so kind and helpful with figuring out the financial portion of things. Carla is always so helpful as well. You can't go wrong coming here and I don't say that lightly. They rock!

Every visit, I feel confident that my teeth and overall oral health are in the best possible hands. Their professionalism, skill, and genuine care for patients really set them apart. I also had a dental surgical procedure done by Dr. Steinberg, and I couldn't be happier with the results. He made the entire process feel easy and stress-free, taking the time to explain everything and ensuring I was comfortable the whole way through. I'm incredibly grateful for such a positive experience with both doctors!
