    It's been a few months since we switched over to a new insurance plan, but it only occurred to me…read morelast week that my husband and I are due for our dentist visits. So, I called Team Dental to schedule appointments for my husband and me. I did not think there would be any available openings and was expecting to wait 1-2 months before seeing our new dentist. To my surprise, the office manager, Lauren was able to squeeze us in for a weekday evening slot. All my life, I've had to wait 20 minutes or longer in the waiting room before the dentist/dental assistant sees me. But NOT at Team Dental. The dentist/dental assistant/dental hygienist was ready to see me pretty much as soon as I arrived. All the staff at Team Dental are very friendly and professional. My first dentist visit was with Dr. Muhammad. Not only was he super thorough with my examination but he had THE BEST bedside manner of any dentist I've ever seen. After my examination, he explained to me the condition of my teeth and explained why I needed a deep cleaning. I started to freak out about how bad my teeth were, but he was very reassuring and took time to show me photos of worst-case scenario gum disease and that I was nowhere near that. All I had to do was get the deep cleaning and floss a lot more. Cynthia, the dental hygienist who did the deep cleaning for me was amazing too. I was nervous before the deep cleaning because I've never had one done before, but she properly numbed me so that I did not feel any pain. Then she deep cleaned the **** out of my teeth. Never have my teeth felt so good and so clean!!! Seeing the dentalcare I'm getting at Team Dental made me realize what good dentalcare is like. My previous dentists did the bare minimum and were never this thorough. Up to yesterday, I thought my teeth were fine, but they really weren't! Also, Team Dental understands the urgency of the health of your teeth. If you are experiencing pain and the longer care is delayed, the worse your condition will get. They will try to get you in as soon as possible, no matter how busy they are. It is really a great feeling to know the health of your teeth is in good hands with Team Dental.

    For all the good things I can say about Team Dental, we often come here to vent. They are good at…read morewhat they do and I recommend the dentistry and doctor. I took umbrage with the business side of the practice for a consultation I had there for an obvious cavity that I wanted to be looked at. Their website said they do consultations so I called and went in. I sat down and the hygienist started to prep for a cleaning. I said no, I was there for a consultation only. They did one xray of the affected tooth, the dentist probed it and my mouth a bit, spending about seven minutes with me. The charge was $150. During the initial call for the appointment, the follow up call, and a call the morning of when they asked if I could come in earlier, there was never any mention of a consultation charge. I would have been far better off just getting a full cleaning and xrays for $250 or whatever it is and the 'consultation' would have been included. Of course, it's their right to charge whatever they want for whatever they do, but they should disclose on the website, or tell you on the phone "we may charge $150 for a brief consultation" for existing patients.

    Dr Wu is a great dentist. I have been going for about three years, we did Invisalign (which I…read moresought her out for) a bonding on a sensitive tooth and an old filling repair from a prior dentist. She and her staff have always been very patient with my dental anxiety. She clearly explains what needs to be done vs what would just be an improvement / optional. She also explains every step of the way when completing a procedure. Of course they ask you about tooth whitening but never made me feel self conscious about my smile. I trust Doctor Wu and her staff.

    I originally came to Prestige Dental for a cleaning. During that visit, I learned I had a cavity…read morethat eventually required a root canal. While I was receiving treatment, Dr. Wu recommended Invisalign to help reduce crowding and lower the risk of future cavities. I explained to Dr. Wu that I knew very little about Invisalign. I told her the only thing I really knew about orthodontic treatment was that people who get braces typically need to wear a retainer afterward to maintain their results. I also told her that this was the exact reason I had never considered braces. I know myself, and I knew I would not consistently wear a retainer for the rest of my life. Based on that conversation, I was left with the understanding that Invisalign was different. I was told I would only have to wear the aligners for about six months, my teeth would be straight, and I would not have to wear a retainer afterward. I was also told there was a promotion where I could receive $1,000 off the original $5,000 treatment if I signed up. Months later, I returned to have my Invisalign attachments removed and to have my crown placed. When I arrived, Dr. Wu asked Lisa why I was there. Lisa responded that I was there for removal of the attachments, my crown, a cleaning, and retainers. I had only come for my crown and to have the attachments removed, so when retainers were mentioned, I was confused. I asked what she meant by retainers, and that was the first time I was told I would need to wear a retainer to maintain my Invisalign results. I immediately explained that this information had never been disclosed during my consultation and that it was the deciding factor in whether I would have agreed to treatment. Had I been told that maintaining Invisalign results required wearing a retainer, I never would have spent approximately $4,000 on Invisalign. Dr. Wu apologized that I felt misled but never acknowledged that this information should have been discussed during the consultation. When I asked whether she believed the need for a retainer should have been disclosed before I agreed to treatment, she avoided answering the question directly. Instead, she told me that some patients choose not to wear their retainers after Invisalign. I explained that this still did not answer my question because my concern was not whether someone could choose not to wear a retainer. My concern was that I was never given that information before making my decision. The conversation became even more frustrating when Dr. Wu told me that the real reason I did not want the retainer was because I did not want to pay my remaining balance. That was completely false. I told her she was putting words in my mouth. My concern was never the balance. My concern was that I never would have agreed to Invisalign had I been given complete and transparent information during the consultation. She also stated that I was the only patient who had ever said she had "conned" them. I explained that what other patients may or may not have experienced was not relevant to my concern. My concern was that she knew the only reason I would not get braces was because I did not want to wear a retainer afterward, yet she never disclosed that maintaining Invisalign results generally involves wearing one. At that point, Dr. Wu became visibly upset, began pacing, and before I could answer what I wanted to do, she instructed Lisa to collect my remaining balance and see how else she could help me. I told Lisa that I had no issue with having my attachments removed or getting my crown. My issue was with the information that was not disclosed before I agreed to treatment. I left because I felt my concerns were never addressed. Instead of answering my questions directly, I felt they were avoided or reframed. My experience was not about the quality of the dental work itself. It was about transparency, communication, and being able to make a truly informed decision before spending thousands of dollars on treatment.

    This is a long read, but very important info for ANYONE who is considering North East Dental as a…read moreviable place to go for dental work. I am still dealing with an utter mess after visiting Dr. Kinga's Allegheny office. I was very wary of the treatment plan Dr. Kinga outlined on my first visit. After x-rays and a technique she used to measure my gums, she said I would need a thorough (and definitely painful) gum scaling. That was my first appointment, and I was encouraged to make 2 more follow up appointments on the spot. On my next appointment, without even cleaning my teeth, she filled a cavity, and attempted to fix a small chip in my front tooth. If I had more life experience or know-how about basic dentistry, I would have known how unprofessional and below the board the place really is--but as it was, I trusted Dr. Kinga's expertise as best I could, even though I knew not doing a cleaning first seemed fishy. I then got a bill for the work done so far, over $600 for: -Xrays -1 fixed chip tooth -1 filling -The so-called gum measurement A WEEK LATER, the chip repair on my front tooth snapped directly off the tooth, taking more enamel with it. It was very painful, and caused me a great deal of anxiety and discomfort. I went directly back into the office to show Dr. Kinga my tooth. She said she could fix it for me, but by that time, I wanted nothing to do with them. Even without insurance, I am certain they were trying to bill me to their advantage only; jacking up prices is a dirty and dishonest thing to do. To make matters worse for them, I am now a patient at an extremely reputable Dental practice, where upon first seeing my teeth, they told me my gums were perfectly fine, and they suspected that suggesting scaling was an attempt by Dr. Kinga at over-treatment for the purpose of collecting more money. My new dentist also confirmed that it was extremely negligent and ridiculous that Dr. Kinga did not clean my teeth before performing her dental work. They were able to see dental adhesive/cement on my chipped tooth, and confirmed that the enamel had been extremely damaged by Dr. Kinga's botched work. I paid my new dentist to restore the tooth completely, which of course cost even more money. I have a bill for the remainder of the services that were performed at North East Dental that has been sent to collections, and I am working with them and a lawyer to resolve this issue. All I would like is the bill dropped, as on principle alone I refuse to pay someone who caused MORE damage to my teeth, but North East Dental has been extremely unprofessional whilst I try to resolve this issue with them. Dr. Kinga would not speak with me on the phone, instead instructing the receptionist, who was extremely rude, to tell me there is nothing they can do until Dr. Kinga "talks to her husband." I am able to continue with my lawyer even without their cooperation, but seeing as I made it clear that all I want is the bill dropped because of actual, recorded, painful damage to my teeth, you would think they would want to cooperate or even display a bare minimum amount of professionalism. They continue to deny any responsibility, parroting the phrase that they "did this work in good faith" and demand to be paid. Utterly ridiculous. I may be young, but I know I have rights as a patient, and I refuse to pay them a cent. I would recommend that you STAY AWAY from North East Dental. What a nightmare!

    Dr. Kinga and the staff at Northeast Dental are fantastic! I have had so much work done there:…read moregeneral cleaning, cavities filled, root canals, etc. My husband even had veneers done by Dr. Kinga. They look absolutely incredible! So natural, you would have no clue they are not his original teeth. Dr. Kinga is an amazing dentist. She puts you at ease, works well with insurance companies, and is super knowledgable. I came to her with a ton of work that needed to be done after many years of not having insurance. She set up a treatment plan for me and has sent me to highly recommended specialists to deal with some of the more severe problems. If you are in search of a great dentist in the port richmond area I would highly recommend Dr. Kinga and the staff at Northeast Dental.
