Tooth Works

we love love love dr. patel. she is so friendly and reassuring. spends a lot of time with each patient and family, open to questions. my kids love her. practice is really nice — great front desk staff and clean office space. we highly recommend this practice!

thorough. efficient. made the kids feel comfortable. i’m not especially picky and it took me 4 dentists to find a good pediatric dentist for my kids that had an efficient front office and wasnt trying to rip me off and gave attentive service.

Very impressed with the service here. Dr. Vanessa is a natural when it comes to interacting with kids. Her assistant was equally friendly and personable. Some pediatric doctors are great as doctors but horrible at socializing with children. This place really made my daughter happy and comfortable. Equally important is the fact that Dr. Vanessa took a good amount of time going through my daughter’s file, explaining things to me and offering advice. She is not just all-​business, as we see so often in medical professions. She treats you like a person, converses with you, and seems to have genuine interest and enthusiasm for her work.
The office is very clean and kid-​friendly. To be honest though, having seen the pictures online, I was a bit worried when I first walked in because all the walls in the reception area were badly scuffed and in need of a paint job. But upon closer inspection, it appears that the colorful kid chairs circling the perimeter of the room just have a tendency to mash against the walls and cause ugly scarring; everything else in the entire office was clean, cheery, and spacious. I only mention this minor drawback because it did give me a bad first impression. A good paintjob and protective plastic wall mounts would correct the issue easily.
Great place for kids’ dental care. Highly recommend.
Many thanks!

Fabulous! I took my children and there were no tears, just lots of smiles. Our dentist (Dr Sejal) was very engaging and my children warmed up to her immediately. I would totally recommend Toothworks for any parents out there.

I was referred to Toothworks by another mother with a child with autism. My son has autism and going to the dentist is a huge struggle. Toothworks was the best. Professional, clean, patient, great tools and equipment state of the art. They also took my insurance, called the insurance while I was standing there and confirmed. My son was able to have x-​rays taken and find a deep problem. My son is 12 and we have been to many many dentists over the years. By far this is the best dentist for the autism community, I am sure for typical children they would just be absolutely fantastic as their ability to calm, proceed and handle the special needs community wonderfully.

Amazing! Both Dr. Sejal and Dr. Vanessa are spectacular to say the least. I was a bit nervous about changing my daughters dentist but boy Dr. Sejal is waaaaay better. I also have a now 3 yr old who isn’t covered yet under our insurance… He was complaining of tooth pain and when I looked he had a bumb on his gum where no tooth had grown in yet. I immediately called Dr Sejal and left her a voicemail she responded within minutes and insisted that I take him to see her. I called the ER near by and they instructed me to just put anbesol and Tylenol for pain. I called Dr. Sejal to cancel the appt. she called me back and insisted that I should never put anbesol on my kids guns it can do more harm than good. And also was very concerned about my sons oral health so she made sure I took him to see her. Thank God I did!!! He had an abscess which she drained cleaned out and put antibiotics on. And he allowed her to do all this to him and he was just 2yrs old then!!! He wouldn’t even let me near his mouth because it hurt him so much. Anyway, just go see these doctors they’re amazing!!! I wish she could be my dentist. My kids love them! And the little «prize box» at the end of each visit for being such great patients!

Dr Patel is INCREDIBLE, with a capital «I». Highly recommend.
The office is clean and friendly with books and iPads to occupy yourselves with while you wait, and mounted horizontal flat screens above the chairs for the kids to watch while they get their teeth cleaned. We see Dr Patel, who is extremely sweet, amazing with kids, and her bedside manner could not improve– it’s impeccable. She spends loads of time with you on your visits, explaining what she’s doing, taking her time, and answering questions. She even really acknowledges the kids and shows interest in them, chatting with them. She laughs and is kind and genuine is VERY knowledge in her field, obviously the most important part. I highly recommend her to everyone I know now.
I now offer you this story, to prove her competency and actual dental work expertise…
Early on my sugar free, processed food free, juice free, breasted & solid eating 14m old son developed these black spots on his two front teeth, which is when I first scheduled to bring him in to be seen, but by another place– Twinkle Dentist. The doctor there, Emilie, basically said there was nothing to be done but sustain their current state in hopes it doesn’t worsen, but they were uncleanable, and unfixable. I of course asked a million questions about it and what it was, but she had no real answers for me. Just staining that couldn’t be removed. Seemed so weird to me. After my switch to Tooth Works, my son walked out with the spots virtually gone! Dr Patel explained *exactly* what it was, and buffed them clean! Because the nature of the pockets where the discoloration was, she couldn’t get it 100% white again, but unless you stared up close you couldn’t even see it anymore. (Whereas before you would notice simply when he smiled– it looked like he had something stuck in his teeth, or had just eaten chocolate or something!). I was in shock. And so happy. She gave me instructions on an above average brushing régime and said as long as I maintained it diligently (and of course continued his sugar free diet), that it should absolutely not come back. And I have and it hasn’t. He’s now 4 years old and his teeth are beautiful and white. I don’t know what Emilie at Twinkle Dentist was doing, or why she failed to have a clue a) what it was and b) how to clean (or even that it was cleanable), but the fact is, she essentially provided no service to me whatsoever. I’m so happy I am now Tooth Works and highly recommend Patel’s expertise.

Dr. Vanessa was absolutely amazing with my 2yr little girl! She was very patient, kind & cared about my daughters 1^st time at the dentist. My daughter wont go to anyone she does not know & Dr Vanessa called her name very warmly & my baby walked right with her! I would recommend everyone here! Thank you so much!

Toothworks is fantastic! We LOVED Dr. Vanessa. She was so kind and patient with our 2.5 year old daughter and explained everything to her in a fun way that made the experience highly enjoyable for her. She loved it! She actually only cried when she left! The office is very nice and modern and has everything you would need to make a toddler feel at ease and at home. Thank you Toothworks! We’ll be back!

Wow, ToothWorks is GREAT at what they do. Took my 2 year old daughter here for her first dentist appointment and she left smiling and proud. The staff explain everything that’s going to happen on a stuffed dinosaur and my daughter felt completely at ease with the process. They also have TV’s above the dental chair. I live in a different neighborhood but it was well worth the travel. Highly recommended.

This place and dentists are amazing! Super kid-​friendly, professional, and honest. Dr. Lugo-​Hart and Dr. Patel are very caring about their patients and have good office hours. My daughter hated going to the dentist and now she wishes she can go to Tooth Works everyday. Making an appointment is easy and the dentists are available to answer questions and handle emergencies ²⁴⁄₇. From the time the family arrives they make you feel at home. My daughter and I never feel stressed about visiting Tooth Works. They truly care about their patients and giving the best care. My daughter listened to everything Dr. Lugo-​Hart says about dental care and follows through. You will love this place and be happy you made this choice.

Our first experience at another Dentist for my then 3 year old son was traumatic as they asked his mother to hold him down as they tried to clean his teeth as he screamed.
This place is totally different!!! Dr Patel took a great deal of time with my son. He was encouraged to touch all the instruments and was explicitly told what they would do and to feel things on his hand so he wouldnt be nervous. The Dr totally put him at ease and he really enjoyed the appointment.
On the way home he was telling me that although he liked the strawberry paste he wanted to try chocolate next time and was eager to go back «soon».
Apart from the wonderful interaction with the Dr, the facilities are modern, clean and filled with the latest technology. Ipads in the waiting room really put my son at ease from the moment he walked in the door — in addition to being able to watch Thomas the tank engine while in the chair.
Best dental experience ever!!!
Take your kids — you wont regret it!

This was the best dentist experience my daughters (or I, for that matter) have ever had. Dr Vanessa is a lovely pediatric dentist who made them feel completely at ease (so much so that my four-​year-​old was having a hard time saying goodbye).
The practice is new and child-​friendly, with cute pictures on the walls, TVs above the reclining chairs, pint-​size furniture in the waiting area, and some educational toys to help explain brushing.
A wonderful experience!!!

3yo son needed a filling and he hasn’t quit talking about how much fun he had going to the dentist office with Dr. Sejal. To be clear — he had a tooth filled and wants to go back to see the dentist. Not sure how much better endorsement you can get for a pediatric dental practice.

I took my 3 year old son here for his very first dental appointment. Dr. Patel was absolutely amazing — so kind, so energetic and friendly. She put both me and my son, completely at ease. My son unfortunately had to come back for another visit that same week because she found cavities. I thought he would be terrified to go back but he was actually excited! The procedure was quick and painless (Dr Patel and her colleague were incredibly quick and efficient, not to mention kind and encouraging) and my son left the office happy and proud of himself.
I cannot recommend this practice highly enough. I am truly in awe of their skills and bedside manner.

It was my son’s first visit to a dentist today and he cried on the way there even though i tired to prepare him the best I could.
Long story short: after the visit was over he said: «Mommy, I love the dentist and it was so much fun!!!»
Dr. Vanessa was so patient, friendly and skilled at getting him interested in what she was doing. She explained everything so well to him and to me. We went over the daily dental hygiene regiments, proper flossing techniques and dietary requirements for strong, healthy teeth. She presented all the tools and instruments that she was using to my son so that he would be at ease throughout the procedure. She took x-​rays of his teeth with ease, it was surreal to watch him be so calm and composed throughout it.
The office is spotless, beautifully designed and equipped with (what looked to my lay-person’s eye as top of the line equipment.) My son could pick out his favourite show to watch on an overhead monitor as soon as he sat down in the super-​comfy chair.
Both doctors are young, professional and have educational credentials to match their sweetness.
Very happy with the visit! will definitely be coming back in six months for a follow up.
Do yourself a favour and book an appointment today!!!

These dentists are AMAZING! My 5 and 3 year olds LOVE coming to the dentist. Ipads in the waiting rooms, flat screen TVs in the exam chair and the most loving and kind personalities ever. My little one recently fell and hit his tooth. He needed an extraction. Poor little guy. Dr. Vanessa was so gentle and efficient. She took such good care of him – then called later that night to check on him. This place is the best – and they take insurance!!!

We took our 2.5 year old daughter to Toothworks for her very first check-​up to see Dr. Lugo-​Hart (our daughter likes to call her Dr. Vanessa). She was very excited to see the extremely kid friendly reception area with an assortment of books, toys and iPads. Our daughter had no idea she was at a doctor’s office! The exam room was also playful and fun, and Dr. Vanessa was so gentle and sweet that our daughter had no objection to opening her mouth and showing her teeth to the doctor. Very impressive. We were nervous about how horrible it could be, taking a terrible two to see her dentist, but it turned out amazingly well. After Dr. Vanessa talked to our daughter about good oral hygiene, our daughter is obsessed with her teeth brushing routine. We wish we had this kind of care when we were kids!

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I took my son to another dentist and the dentist just looked at his teeth and said they were beautiful. So I looked around and read the reviews and decided to try Tooth Works out. So glad I did. The office is beautiful and welcoming, the dentist spent so much time explaining everything to my normally nervous child and found some issues that the other dentist just looked over. My son wanted to stay at the dentist and I had to drag him out. He was allowed to watch Thomas videos while she was working and allowed to ask as many questions as he wanted. The dentist Dr. Lugo-​Hart never made us feel rushed and went into detail about the issues, the cost and at home treatment. If your kid is nervous about the dentist or if you want a dentist that actually loves kids this is the place to go. You will fall in love with this place!
