Christine Ressler, DMD

For starters, the business hours at this office are not convenient, if you work a day job. Their hours: Monday — Wednesday from 8:30 til 5pm & Thursday 8:30 to 4pm. So you will, most likely miss work, if you need to go here and you work a day job.
Secondly, getting work done takes way too long. After going to Dr. Ressler multiple times I decided to move on, partly because it seems uncommon for her to do more than one filling per appointment, for some reason, (so, like me, you’ll probably be making multiple appointments if you need to have multiple fillings done).
Thirdly, she doesn’t do root canals, and you must be referred to a specialist for that. This is not a one-​stop-​shop dentist.
I started going to Dr. Ressler (in July) because I hadn’t been to a dentist in a while and, though I wasn’t having any tooth pain, I knew that I had cavities that needed filling. When I switched dentists 2 months later, I needed multiple root canals and had tooth pain on almost every tooth that Dr. Ressler had worked on. She ended up doing 3 fillings and a pulpal debridement on me before I realized that I needed to find a new dentist.
On one filling, she went down too far and hit the roots, then told me that I probably won’t have that tooth for the rest of my life (!). Another of the teeth that she filled ended up cracking about two weeks ago and needed a root canal.
When I got to my new dentist, she looked at two of the fillings done by Dr. Ressler and said «those are big fillings», because Dr. Ressler had hollowed out so much of my tooth that there is almost nothing but filling there. One of those is the tooth that I mentioned above that cracked and the other is the one that Dr. Ressler said I’d be losing eventually. These two teeth were also filled incorrectly by Dr. Ressler, causing my bite to be off and giving me headaches until my new dentist fixed them, AND these two teeth were actually «glued» together by whatever chemicals they used to fill the second tooth. I couldn’t even floss between those two teeth until my new dentist got them separated.
I didn’t want to post such a negative review because Dr. Ressler was very nice, but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t tell other prospective patients of hers about what happened to me. I went to her because of the ⁴⁄₅ star Unilocal reviews I read while searching for a dentist and I definitely didn’t have a ⁴⁄₅ star experience, that’s all I know.

Very unimpressed by this dental office.
Appointments are MONTHS out, like 5 months! The appointments that I had were overwhelming fast, too fast to process information being thrown at me.
Dr. Ressler is nice, but makes the weirdest groaning noises when cleaning and examining and it made it really uncomfortable at times.
A few months back, Dr. Ressler referred my husband to an oral surgeon. Come to find out the surgeon was out of network so he called and requested a referral to an in-​network provider. Dr. Ressler refused to write a referral to the requested provider even though it was the most convenient — not really sure what that’s about.
Once my husband found that he could self-​refer himself he requested Xrays and Dr. Ressler’s office refused to give them to him, which luckily I am a Healthcare Information Management Specialist and am fully aware his records are his property.
I have NO idea what this Dr (or her staff’s) issues are — but we’ve found another family dentist.

I have seen Dr. Ressler regularly for more than 5 years now. She is kind, efficient, explains well. I have very healthy teeth — see her mostly for preventative treatment, so spend more time with the hygienist — also great. Dr. Ressler pays attention and has helped me deal with wear from grinding and some potential TMJ issues, which is much appreciated since many dentists in the past didn’t look further than my cavity-​free teeth. I’d recommend her to anyone.

She is a wonderful dentist! Very kind and patient. Also she let’s me in on the secret that’s going on in my mouth during the weird sounds and feelings:) She asks if I want to see… yes thank you. NOW I get what these «procedures» entail because she shows me what’s going on. She has also been helping my husband who was seeing a terrible dentist that did a crown wrong 3 times, and now his mouth is on the path to recovery.
Only negatives are the small dated office and the long wait. But not enough to keep me from my spectacular dentist!

Excellent Dentist! My whole family has been seeing Dr. Ressler for several years now. She is great with kids, thorough, and always friendly.
