I was referred to an endodontist by a dentist I've seen for over 10 years because he felt that I…read moreneeded a root canal, but wouldn't touch the tooth involved because of a cap he put on 5 years ago. The tooth was not loose unlike another tooth upon which he had done a root canal, but the gum was painful after chowing down on homemade beef jerky so I was put on antibiotics. One day after starting the antibiotics my pain was gone and a month later when seeing this new endodontist it was the same. (I managed to get into this endodontist earlier plus he was "in network" re insurance.) Initially the dental assistant took a single Xray, placed a swab with topical anesthetic on the gum area with the involved tooth and said that the doctor would evaluate me to determine if I needed a root canal. Considering the circumstance I naturally questioned whether I needed a root canal and if I did why would I need to go back to my original dentist to get the cap hole repair done. After the physical exam I received a tongue lashing from the endodontist stating he wouldn't do the endo because I was "pissed off." But who was really "pissed off"? It seemed he was because I questioned his ability and that of my longtime dentist to accurately evaluate the situation and possibly perform an expensive procedure that probably wasn't really needed. I was told "No charge" for the visit so I got the original paperwork from my dentist and left. I contacted my insurer to let them know of what had transpired in the event that this endodontist submits an insurance claim for doing nothing. Ironically, this endodontist apparently also practices general dentistry (per the web site) so why he didn't state he could manage the entire procedure including closure of the cap is beyond me.

Dr. Gupta performed root canal. I was satisfied with the interactions and the outcome. I was a little annoyed, like another person here, I received a bill for the exact same service that the recommending dentist charged. The dentist did some x-rays to see what the problem was, and then referred me to this office for root canal. They also did an x-ray and it turns out it was the same one the dentist did. I got a bill for it later. My insurer said they would not pay for it because the dentist already charged for it. I am going to talk to them about it and see how they handle it. I did go with one picture of an x-ray from my dentist but maybe that wasn't enough for them, I'm not sure. But I would go back to them.

A couple years ago I had gum graft surgeries with Dr. Wolf and the procedures did not go well…read more After healing I went to get other opinions and each Periodontist I had a consult with was perplexed by what Dr. Wolf caused to my gums, looking at the before and after pictures. Since then I have been working with a couple of top-tier Periodontists that are significantly more expensive to try and repair the damage, and the experience has been a lot better. Unfortunately, the repairs so far have cost nearly $18k, and I have another repair surgery scheduled for next month which will cost another $8k. Bottom line - based on other reviews, I thought I was going to be in good hands, but please do your due diligence. It has been a long and awful journey. I hope others don't have the same experience.

From the start, Dr. Sarah was confident, calm, and reassuring. She took incredible time and care with my temporaries--they were secure, comfortable, and shaped beautifully, which immediately put me at ease. For the first time, I wasn't worried they would fall out. When it came time for the permanent veneers, we were unsure about the color at first, but Dr. Sarah said to try them in and reassured me we could redo them if needed. She was right--they were a perfect match. She even scheduled a follow-up to make sure I was completely happy. Dr. Sarah and her assistant were patient, meticulous, and truly passionate about their work. After years of stress over this process, I finally feel at ease knowing my smile is in expert hands, and I'm so grateful I found Brielle Dentistry.

I have been debating writing this review for quite a while, since Brielle Dentistry Co seems to…read moreonly get rave reviews here and people appear to have had good experiences with them, but please consider my personal experience with them a cautionary tale. I went there for an emergency root canal, which went well, although I had to wait in the chair doing nothing for 45 minutes, before they finally started working on me, consequently making me late for work. Everyone was very nice and apologetic, but that was a bad first impression for me. They pushed the comprehensive dental exam for a later date, which I did get. They found many many issues with my teeth and gums, which really surprised me, as I practice excellent oral hygiene every day. Long story short - I moved to another state not long after this and found a dentist here, who did the exact same exam - all the bite-wing and panoramic x-rays, photos, physical exam, etc., and found only a tiny fraction of what Brielle "found." For example - Brielle told me I needed to get 2 back teeth extracted. I knew of one tooth, given what was going on, but the other tooth they wanted to extract turned out to be perfectly healthy and fine, with absolutely no need to extract, per my current dentist. Brielle also pointed out other work I needed to get done - another example: deep scaling - while the dentist I go to now found no issues whatsoever with my gums. And there were others. Needless to say, I would never to back to them.

I am extremely nervous going to any dentist, much less for a root canal, but I can say with all honesty that this experience was SO much less awful than I thought it was going to be. And that's because Dr. Zohn calmly took the time to explain, comfort and do what needed to be done in minimum time. Was it my favorite thing to do last week? No, but it was MINIMALLY uncomfortable. And I was 100% better within an hour or so of the procedure . Thank you again.

I was referred here by my previous dentist to get a CBCT scan for further diagnosis. I brought my…read moreprevious diagnostic notes with me. I have visited multiple dental offices in NYC before, and this was by far the most unprofessional experience I've had. A young assistant took me in and told me new x-ray needed to be taken. She seemed inexperienced and struggled to position the sensor in my mouth, she attempted to place it over 10 times, and each attempt was very painful. At no point was I given a lead apron for radiation protection. She took about 4-5 x-ray shots without getting a usable result, then a more senior staff member came in to help and took another 3-4 shots. They then determined the equipment was malfunctioning and moved me to a different room, where they took 3-4 more shots. When I asked whether it was even safe to take this many x-rays in one day, the senior staff just said the equipment couldn't produce a clear image. When I mentioned I'd never experienced anything like this at any other office in NYC, she responded sarcastically, "Oh really? Then you have to take a CBCT today." What's more puzzling is that the dentist only came in to look at my case after the CBCT scan was done. If a CBCT was going to be required regardless, I don't understand why I was put through so many rounds of x-rays beforehand. I have no complaints about the dentist herself. But the lack of professionalism, patience, and basic safety protocol (no lead apron) from the assistants made this an extremely uncomfortable and concerging visit.

Dr. Tam was thorough and took the time to explain my situation and answer my questions. My case was…read morecomplex, which is why I sought a specialist. After reviewing X-rays, a CT scan, and performing a probing test, he suspected a possible fracture and said he wasn't confident he could achieve a better outcome than the first root canal (which was done by a general dentist). My gum had a deep pocket and bone loss that he described as J-shaped. He explained this raised concern for a possible fracture. Later, from my own research, I found that J-shaped bone loss can sometimes have other causes as well, not only fractures. Because of that, he recommended extraction. At the time I trusted his judgment, but after extraction I was informed there was no visible fracture. I deeply regret not seeking additional opinions before proceeding. I would have appreciated a clearer discussion of all options up front, for example: (1) retreatment, (2) attempt retreatment and extract only if a fracture is confirmed, or (3) proceed directly to extraction. Also, I arrived on time but waited about 45 minutes past my appointment, and I had difficulty reaching the office by phone and email. Overall, this was a painful experience for me. If you have a complex case, consider getting second or third opinions before making an irreversible decision.
