In the beginning of August 2025, I went to get a dental cleaning at Dental Associates. The dental…read morehygienist's hand was very shaky and she appeared to be fresh out of school. After the cleaning was done, the front-desk guy told me that I had some cavities and potential for cavities and some fillings needed to be done. He never pointed to the exact teeth on the Xray. Mind you, an office administrator suggested this work to be done, not a dentist. I shrugged it off because I was suspicious of his intentions. I regret not listening to my intuition. Three and a half months later, I felt some sensitivity on one of the pre-molar teeth on the right while brushing my teeth. So I thought "ok maybe that's why he wanted to do fillings on that side." I proceeded to book an appointment to come a few days thereafter to do the fillings. Before they did anything on me, they did an Xray to see if there's anything wrong with the tooth where I felt sensitivity brushing. They looked at the Xray and said there's nothing wrong there. I should've left the office at that moment, but I thought "ok, well they did the Xray and told me there's nothing wrong with that tooth and I've gotten fillings done elsewhere years ago and it was painless so ok, why not do the fillings they suggested?" I was trying to get more information on the particular teeth that they wanted to do fillings on but they never provided any Xray or any teeth numbers. I made the worst decision of my life and decided to proceed ahead with the fillings. Oh boy am I paying the price for that mistake. Dental Associates did not have me sign anything that day to approve of the procedure. After they completed the fillings and before I left their office and before I even put anything in my mouth to know if the procedure went well or not, the male front-desk male employee, who I assume to be an office administrator or the practice's salesperson, told me that "this is only the first step," and "maybe later we will have to do a root canal." For the second time, he was recommending procedures to be done on me without showing me any Xrays or photos. How would he know that I needed a root canal? I should've asked him that question then, but I did not because I placed my faith in these medical professionals. As soon as I got out to my car and drank water, I had cold sensitivity on the right side of my mouth on one of the top two teeth that they filled. I'm still trying to fix the problems caused by this office. A few weeks later, I went to another dentist because I obviously lost all faith in Dental Associates after playing the events back in my head. The other dentist told me that they were teeth #3, #4, and #30 where Dental Associates did their fillings. Tooth #4 went well, but tooth #3's filling broke off. Tooth #30 had a chip which wasn't there before - this was presumably caused by the dentist at Dental Associates when she was trying to shave off the filling to make the bite even. My front teeth are feeling sensitivity to the cold as well. I'm not even sure if Dental Associates worked on these front teeth without informing me, because I was under anesthesia and had my eyes closed. It's just bizarre that they all became sensitive around the same time. Right now, the entire right side of my mouth is not feeling well and as mentioned, I'm still in the process of fixing the damage done. With the evidence presented from my experience, it appears that DAG recommended unnecessary procedures for me.

My dentist recommended me to see Dr. Amato due…read moreto I have some weird periodontal issue.( a small hole appeared above my gum line, and started foam white discharge) Went to see the doc on 06/17, Dr. Amato decided we should have a small surgery. I had surgery on that day, and told to come back next week to check on the healing. 06/24 was told everything look fine, come back in 3 weeks. However, I pointed out, my gum line is uneven. Doc and nurse said need to wait at least 3-4 weeks before they can do anything. They assure me it will look even. 07/18 Dr. Amato decided to laser the gum line a little bit, so they will look even, it was about 2mm difference at that time. If I smile, you can definitely tell the difference. It was a very quick procedure. During the procedure, Dr. Amato checked with his nurse , he said " do you think I should do a little more? ", He also asked me that question. I was pretty confused , I am not professional. I left office , I sat in my car, I looked into my mirror, I was like, maybe he should laser a little bit more. I went back in the office, spoke to his nurse, I said since I am still numb, do you think we could laser a little bit more. She told me, it was not necessary, if it is still uneven, they will fix it next time. don't worry about it. Today, 08/12, another 3 weeks went by, my gum line is still uneven. Dr. Amato told me, first, he does not have time to fix my gum line, second , if I do want my gum line fixed, I need to pay $1000+ to fix it. Yes, I had small teeth before , now I have bigger teeth and uneven gum line, so if you are looking for a periodontics, would you go with this office?

The name of my most capable hygienist is Sandi, not Cindy. Unkowingly I have been call her by the wrong name all these years. Sandi is very dexterous and thorough in cleaning my teeth. She is so experienced that she knows all about my teeth in and out. I know that I am in good hands caring for my teeth. You must ask for Sandi if you need to clean your teeth. As for Dr. Wasserlauf, I just had a tooth implant, for the first time under his care. He was amazing! While he was working on my tooth, I did not feel what was going on in my mouth. He prescribed pain medicine for me but I did not need it since there was no pain in my mouth after the surgery. Dr. Wasserlauf restored all my teeth to good condition that were very badly looked after by a dentist when I lived in Hong Kong. Without Dr' Wasserlauf's care I would have been wearing dentures at a young age. Dr. Wasserlauf is capable, conscientious and caring beyond monetary gain. Do not hesitate to visit Dr. Wasserlauf and/or Sandi for dental care. They are the best!

From initial consultation to the surgeries where my teeth (such as they were) were removed and the implants placed to the follow up visits, he was meticulous, supportive, and always available via his cell number. His office staff, dental assistants, and hygienists were terrific. It's a long process to get this done correctly, but well worth the time. I never thought to review a dentist on Yelp.

I had a TERRIBLE experience at Diamond Dental today, with Dr. V specifically!! I went in because a…read morecrown of mine (that was done in their office) fell off, for the second time. It was originally done in 2020, and fell off for the first time in 2021. She told me that she was going to have to charge me to re-cement it. (I don't have insurance) I asked how much. After about 10 min of runaround with her & the billing specialist, I was told the charge would be $150! I told her that I would pay it because I have no choice, but that i thought it was ridiculous that I would have to pay that much money to glue a crown back on. (I had a previous crown on a different tooth that lasted me 15+ years without ever coming off!) At that point, she told me that she was not going to put it back on for me because "I don't trust her work"! So, after spending almost 2 hours there, I had to leave without getting the crown put on, at 3pm. She was aware that I was going to NC tomorrow and there's no way I would be able to get in with any other dentist this late in the day. And she actually looked really pleased with herself for refusing to do the work. It was honestly the most unprofessional experience I have ever had at any dental office. I hadn't been into the office for a long time, for personal reasons. She took several opportunities to point that out to me as well. As if that was the reason my crown (which to my understanding is permanent & should not be coming off multiple times) came off. I have a lot of dental issues. I have spent thousands of dollars at this office & have family members that have spent tens of thousands. I actually talked to Dr. V today about finally putting together a plan to get to the bottom of all my issues. And now I have to find another office. I really loved Dr. Wong, but he is there anymore. The rest of the staff in the office are AMAZING & SO KIND!! The office is beautiful, with all the newest technology. There are so many nice things I can say about the office in general. But after today, I will not be returning. The way that Dr. V handled the entire situation was extremely UNPROFESSIONAL & UNETHICAL. I now have to drive to NC without my fragile tooth unprotected and deal with it when I come back. All because the crown that they did has fallen out twice in less than 5 years, and I told her that I felt taken advantage of for being charged $150 for that!!
