Great dentist and staff. Very glad I chose to come here for my dental visit. Definitely recommend to friends and family!
This was my first visit at a new dentist office and I was nervous to get my checkup. I enjoyed my hygienist Carmen, the cleaning it was very thorough and the staff was very professional. I will definitely be back for my 6 month visit!
Dr. LaPera had been my dentist for 15 years. He is extremely professional and has a wonderful pleasant manner. I recommended him to a friend from NYC and she now goes regularly. I am fortunate to have found him when I moved from NY.
Excellent dental practice. I have been a patient for 20 years. The doctors and staff are professional, on time and caring. Great communication and they always put the patient’s needs first. I have recommended Summit Dental to other friends who have also been highly satisfied. My teeth love these guys.
This is the best dentist I have been to. The place is very clean they have been sanitizing everything down before covid-19 came into existence. The doctor is the best dentist i know of he is very kind, patient, and gentle. His work is perfect.
I would highly recommend this dental practice for all dental care. Dr. Le Pera is a true perfectionist and his care for the patients is his main priority. My experience is my main focus to this review. The staff is very courteous and knowledgeable. Carmen, the Hygienist, is also a wonderful asset to the practice. She is thorough with her cleanings and care for her patients. Definitely an A+
Loved my hygienist Carmen. She gave me lots of helpful tips and didn’t use electric tools to clean. I loved this because I have a lot of sensitivity and the electric tools exacerbates my symptoms. Which means she listened to my worries and honored them. Dr. Le Pera is awesome as always and keeps me well informed.
Really the best dentist I could ever ask for. I know they are a trusted source and Dr. L is truly one of a kind. Someone who genuinely cares about his clients- it always feels like family. I do all my work here- what I love is that if Dr. L is super honest – and if he knows of someone better suited for a particular procedure he will tell me transparently and recommend the best. No dentist can beat him. He doesn’t look to do more work than needed and always takes a conservative approach to help retain your natural teeth as much as possible. (Important to me since I’ve broken my 3 front teeth in half due to a fall and he’s done brilliant veneers). The receptionist and support staff are lovely as well. And if you need a cleaning ask for Carmen – she’s fantastic.
From the warm welcome upon arrival, to the thorough cleaning by Carmen the Hygienist, to the professional and gentle exam by Dr Le Pera, my experience was terrific. I’ll be back!
TMJ therapy costs can vary depending on the type of treatment you need to fix your problems. Frequently, a TMJ mouthguard can do the trick for around a few hundred bucks before insurance. Our TMJ mouthguards are personalized and are developed according to your needs. If your TMJ issues are from bite imbalance, you may require orthodontics or restorative dental procedures like crowns to remedy it. These are going to cost more than a mouthguard.
Many dental insurance plans and also some health insurance policies cover TMJ treatment. We’ll aid you in determining what your insurance is going to cover, and we’ll likewise help you maximize your benefits. Remember that therapy can consist of a simple oral appliance or perhaps a row of dental crowns, so the amount covered for each particular solution differs by plan.
TMJ treatment can take a couple of visits or a few months based on what you need to resolve your TMJ pain. If you need crowns to stabilize your bite, you may require only two or three trips to our practice for sustained pain relief. If you require a night guard, you might have to wear it every night for numerous weeks or long-term. We’ll review your specific situation with you at a free consultation.
We can see you as soon as tomorrow!
