1st Advantage Dental

Attendant was extremely rude and condescending while cleaning my teeth, and I decided to leave before my consultation. After I had conversed with her in English about my dental x-​rays she thought it was appropriate to ask if I spoke English. I have been lived in the U.S. my entire life and found her incredibly ignorant an insensitive. I hope her ignorance is not shared with her colleagues. I do not recommend this practice and I will not be returning.

I ended up here as my dentist of 30 years retired and sold his practice to these guys. With my old dentist it was a always a quick in and out-​everything looks fine. OK I missed a couple of years when going back to these guys-​shame on me. The hygenist was very thorough and I needed it. She was a little preachy about flossing but if she wasn’t I wouldn’t have started paying attention and now i am (almost) flossing everyday. So she did her job and I am better for it.
I was a little concerned that this new dentist was finding cavities and a little suspicious after reading other reviews. I was scheduled to come back for a major cavity work and possible crown. Me a crown! How could that be! Well after a couple of weeks I noticed that the tooth in question was sensitive and the gum was a little painful. Another words that tooth needed some work and this dentist-​Gardocki saw that.
Looking at other reviews, I saw that Gardocki was characterized at lacking good bedside manner with a patient. At first I thought the same and it was coupled with suspicion about the need for the work.
Well I needed the work and he was just fine. He constantly asked about my comfort. He was providing the right amount of detail about the work he was doing and where we were in the process. I think Dr. Gardocki is fine and he really seems to know his sh… stuff.
What more can you ask for.

I moved to the area recently and went to this place (74 Delaware ave) for my regular check-​up. Like the previous reviewer, I also experienced the same thing — they are just after your money. Every business wants to make money but they have to be ethical. I can honestly tell you this place is not.
They took a bunch of unnecessary x-​rays even after I sent them a series from my previous dentist from 6 months back. They charged me for a «follow-​up» appointment when they actually promised me it was really free. They wanted me to get a bunch of cleaning and scaling when it wasn’t that necessary and called me about 3 times in 2 weeks for available appointments in the next day or so or the same afternoon (when you call them for an appointment they give you one 3 months away, lol)
I saw him only once but I wasn’t impressed with Dr. So as a dentist. Maybe I am biased based on the above experience or maybe I am not.
I recommend avoiding this place like a plague. Even if you are planning to go there for whatever reason, be very careful with the financial aspects. Ask what the overall charge is to the insurance company and what your portion is, etc. If they overcharge the insurance company will reject their claim and you will be responsible for that portion.
All the best in finding a good dental facility in the area.

I would describe the experience of dealing with this dental office as dealing with a car dealership. While they have top of the line equipment and excellent doctors, the office is more concerned with money than teeth. They have tried to push all sort of unnecessary procedures such as removing my wisdom teeth, and attempt to overcharge for the medically necessary procedures.
