I cannot recommend Lazare Biomimetic Dentistry and Smile Design highly enough!…read more From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly staff and felt incredibly welcomed. The atmosphere was peaceful and calming- perfect for anyone who might normally feel a bit anxious about going to the dentist. The dental hygienist was very thorough and attentive. She had such a gentle touch and an amazing bedside manner. Dr. Lazare was incredibly patient with me and addressed my concerns without ever making me feel rushed. I highly recommend booking your next dental appointment with Lazare Biomimetic Dentistry and Smile Design!

Impressive // Detail Oriented Comfortable // Safe…read more Worried about a tooth? Do you have previous work that is failing? Have pain? Do you need a root canal?? Dr. Lazare saved my teeth!! Grateful for his dedication to the advancement of "restorative" Biomimetic Dentistry. For the Kids: I wish Dr. Lazare was my dentist when I was a kid!! I have been terrified of dentists for decades. I was the kid who hid under furniture and threatened to disown my family for taking me to the dentist. If only I had met Dr. Lazare. He is patient kind, he makes balloon animals! No really ask him. Tell him I told you to and that you found this review he will make you something special and smile. He LOVES helping kids, and so do his kids. Such a wonderful family. Lets just say... At Dr. Lazare's office I felt NO PAIN or anxiety every time I have come into his office and he has given me more than a handful of shots! How I found Dr. Lazare: When I met Dr. Lazare through family friends years ago he told me about biomimetic dentistry and how many teeth that are removed and replaced can be saved! I never forgot our conversation and the level of detail as to which he described cases. If you ever wanted to meet a Dental nerd this is your guy. Fast forward many years down the road when previous work failed and the word extraction/root canal and crown came up. The work in my opinion needed to be redone. I remembered my conversation with Dr Lazare and in spite of covid he fit me into their packed schedule. I could not be more grateful for Dr. Lazare and his staff. If I had waited 6 more months one of the molars that he saved would have needed a root canal and a crown. President Lazare: Congratulations Mark on being elected President of the Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry. #SavingTeeth2021 #PreventExctractions More information about Marc: https://www.aobmd.org/dentist/dr-marc-e-lazare-dds/ Covid times: When I arrived to the office staff were wearing masks, and appropriate measures were taken for social distancing. It seemed as though they staggered patients there was no one else in the waiting room at the time that I came. Procedures that I had: Comprehensive exam, X-rays, Biomimetic reconstruction for two teeth, Invisalign, and a temporary for a crown. As you can see in the photos Dr. Lazare uses a red dye to mark the decay and then works patiently to remove the decay and then rebuild the tooth. To say I am thrilled with his dedication to his craft and meticulous care would be putting it mildly. Staff: All staff seems to genuinely care for their patients. The woman who was assisting him during this process though a hygienist, was a dentist in her home country. Service with a smile knowing that miracles and magic are created here. Thank you everyone! So grateful. The Scene: Upbeat, Happy, Magic Destination Rating: 10 Date Rating: N/A Hob Nob Potential: N/A Strong Suggestion: Come here if someone else tells you that you may need a root canal. Preventative is SOOOO much better!

I typically don't write reviews--good or bad--but I feel incredibly dissatisfied and disappointed…read morewith my experience at Dr. Vasserman's office. I was recommended to this office by someone I truly trust, as I am not originally from NYC. The office itself is nice, and Corrie is typically friendly. For a basic teeth cleaning, this place is fine. However, if you need any significant dental work, I strongly urge you to reconsider. In 2022, my teeth had shifted due to Invisalign, and I wanted to have my front tooth (tooth #8), which had a crown from a childhood injury, redone so that it aligned properly. I initially considered finding a specialist but decided to go with Dr. Vasserman--something I deeply regret. Trust your intuition--if something feels off, it probably is. When I discussed my needs with Dr. Vasserman in April 2022, he assured me it would take only a few weeks. However, after many emails and back-and-forth conversations, I was informed that it would actually take eight weeks just for the lab in Chicago to begin my case. This was a complete contradiction to what I was initially told. When the crown finally arrived months later, I was shocked. This was supposed to be from the best of the best lab, yet the tooth looked nothing like the rest of my teeth. I don't understand why he didn't use a lab in NYC where I could have been directly involved in the process. It became increasingly clear that he didn't know what he was doing when it came to cosmetic dental work. After much back-and-forth, and clear frustration from Dr. Vasserman, we eventually landed on a tooth that was "acceptable"--but by this point, it was July. Between April and July, my temporary tooth fell out multiple times, I had to go back and forth to the office countless times, and I constantly questioned my decision to have him do the work. The worst part? Any time I called for an update or to get help, it often felt like the office was avoiding me. Calls would go unanswered, and I would have to follow up multiple times just to get basic information. The lack of communication and accountability was infuriating. Fast forward to November 2024--I started experiencing severe pain and discomfort in my front tooth. The pain was unbearable, keeping me up at night and even giving me headaches. I switched dentists due to my previous experience and didn't feel comfortable returning to Dr. Vasserman. Well, turns out my instincts were right--I now have a serious infection in the tooth. The crown wasn't even cemented properly, leaving it loose and unstable. The infection has become so severe that my tooth is now unsalvageable. I have to undergo major surgery, including tooth extraction and bone grafting, because the infection has eroded my bone. Here's the most frustrating part: I have had this tooth redone three times in my life, and never--not once--have I had an issue like this until this last procedure. The fact that I trusted a dentist who clearly lacked the skill and experience for this type of work is devastating. The moral of the story? If something feels off, trust yourself. Go to a specialist. If I had listened to my gut, I wouldn't be dealing with this nightmare now. If you only need a cleaning, this place is fine. But for any serious dental work, I cannot recommend this office and would strongly advise against going here.

This place is a complete waste of time. I scheduled a standard cleaning--nowhere during booking,…read moreconfirmation, or check-in did anyone mention that X-rays were mandatory before they'd even touch my teeth. Only after I showed up and sat down did they spring it on me: no X-rays, no cleaning. That's not patient care--that's bait and switch. I took time off, traveled in, and rearranged my day for an appointment they refused to honor due to their own failure to communicate clearly. They wasted my time, showed zero accountability, and acted like it was somehow my fault for not agreeing to something I was never told about in the first place. If this is how they handle routine cleanings, I wouldn't trust them with anything more serious. They may care more about insurance billing than about actual patient care or informed consent. Avoid this practice unless you enjoy being blindsided and dismissed. NYC has better options--go find one.

The worst dentist anyone I knew have ever gone to, suhkminder pannu is being sued for doing…read moreunnecessary medical procedures against informed consent. This dentist performed nine root canals and a placed nine porcelain fused metal crowns in a patient with autism, the patient went in asking for dental sealant and implants, Pannu recommended 11 root canals and crowns. The doctor also refused to do the implants until his recommended treatment was complete, and after his recommended treatment was completed he abandoned the patient and refused to admit that he had put porcelain fused to metal crowns in the patient even though the patient tried to verify half a dozen times that the right material was used. The patient initially said no to root canals, then Pannu disguise that treatment and recommended nerve treatment with a protective coating. The dentist milk Medicaid for $27,000 fraudulently, and the reason he would not use full ceramic crowns which is what the patient consented to in the end, is because he discriminated against the form of payment which was Medicaid, because he was selling cubic zirconia crowns for $3,000 a tooth. Do not go here, do not take your children here, this man committed intentionally negligent torts putting the patient at risk to line his own pocket while submitting this claim to the government and getting paid after falsifying the x-rays that he sent to the insurance.

Dentists suck, but not Astor Smile…read more Even with a cavity on my wisdom tooth, Dr. Jo and Dr. Rammal insisted we just fill it and not extract it. "It's a tooth you eat on" they said. I agree!! Stark difference from my last dentist who wanted $10k to remove all 4 proactively. During the filling they were extremely educational even insisting I look at all my cavities myself in a handheld mirror. I could keep going. The practice is hyper hygienic and the staff are ask extremely professional and fast. Paying with insurance and scheduling were a breeze. They even communicate via text! My fear of the dentist is gone! Me and everyone I know will be an Astor smile lifer!

That isn't what I want from a medical professional. And that's where Astor Smile comes in. I first came to them after feeling concerned that my dentist was just drilling and filling unnecessarily. After getting a second opinion from Astor, I learned that it was actually true - which was super frustrating. So I am a big fan of Astor. They are real medical professionals and not salesy at all. They do great work and I trust them.

The first time I walked in, I knew that I had made the right choice. The vibes were on point with my own personal aesthetic: clean, modern, minimalist and decorated with calming neutral colors, they even use the same products as I do ("Public Goods") with glass "Polished Jar" containers to hold products. The first appointment takes a couple of hours as they are very thorough, and Dr Urtula himself always gives you a lot of personal time. He takes the time to get to know his patients and really wants the best for them and their teeth. When I had a crown break a few days before I had to go to Europe for work, they got me in for an emergency appointment same day and even rushed the permanent crown so that I didn't have to travel with a temporary. Being out of network it is on the pricier side for me to go to Emagen, but it is well worth it. We only have one set of teeth!
