At our office, we know the key to preventing disease is to fight it before it starts, which is why we pride ourselves on educating our patients on preventative medicine techniques such as reminding them to floss and schedule routine cleanings. We strive to give our patients dental health care instead of disease care'. Our thorough exams check the overall health of your teeth and gums, checking for oral cancer and taking x-rays when necessary. Always be sure to talk to your doctor about any medical history that may impact your dental health, such as new medications or related illnesses.
Around the office, we are always sure to provide a sanitary environment, because infection control is of the utmost importance to us. In our dental office, we maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes using the recommended standards of the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
We always want you to be confident in your dental office and know that we are a team of highly trained and skilled clinicians. As your health professionals, we take pride in providing the care you deserve to keep your smile healthy. We are consistently committed to continued education because we want to give you the best possible service and results. Our doctors and staff regularly attend dental lectures, meetings, and conventions to stay informed of new techniques, products, and equipment so that we are sure we are providing you with the most up-to-date services.
If there is anything we can do for you to make your visit to our office more comfortable, please let us know. We know visits to the dentist can be uneasy for some people, which is why we are here to help and be of assistance to you in any way possible. Our staff is dedicated to providing you with high-quality, personalized care. Please do not hesitate to ask for anything you might need to make your visit easier or more enjoyable.

I've been a client of Dr. Rothenberg for over 30 years. The entire practice is staffed by excellent professionals who are very skilled in providing comprehensive dental care from cleanings to all types of highly complex procedures. BTW - excellent communication skills, compassionate, and just a great team to work with.

These people are absolute scam artists! I saw them for a consultation for some dental work and never did they mention there would be a fee, as generally consultations are free. They proceeded to send multiple bills in the mail, billing $200 for just speaking with them. Absurd!

I am terrified of going to the dentist and have been to a few recently but never follow up as I don't feel comfortable. In Dr Falcones office I feel "heard" and every attention to detail is carried out to make a safe environment during Covid. Her and the staffs care of me and my anxiety is outstanding. They are all highly trained in their own work area. I wouldn't consider going anywhere else and now actually follow up on my dental health. Results have been excellent.

I have been a patient of Dr. Rothenberg and, more recently, Dr. Falcone and his team for more than 30 years. Their professional care is without equal and I always recommend their practice to family and friends. I would never go anywhere else.

Dr. Falcone was fantastic!! She did a crown for me and it came out perfect! She was so kind and detail oriented. The color match was exact. I would highly recommend her and the practice.

Today I had my three-month cleaning and check up. As always, Gayle was thorough, gentle and took the time to outline some additional care for one tooth. All this handled with her lovely personality and kindness. Dr. Rothenberg as always looking out for us - requesting an additional X-ray be taken "to rule out any problem". We are very grateful to be in such good hands.

There aren't enough stars that can accurately reflect the superb service this office offers. EVERY single person- Fran, Hailey, Paula, Dr. Falcone, Dr. Zapata...are professional, knowledgeable, and genuine souls with a smile. Since the age of six- it was never ending- root canals, crowns, veneers, implants (Thanks Mom!) When I moved to NYC, I was looking for an excellent cosmetic surgeon who understood my vanity, as well as, the importance of a strong, long-lasting foundation who had the skills and vision to make the impossible, possible. Three years ago on Christmas Eve, I was away in Vermont, and without going into detail- I bit into something I was told NOT to eat- which resulted in the exposure of a sensitive area. Within minutes, Dr. Falcone called me back at my aunt's (no service area), advised me on what to do, and immediately saw me the following morning. After 40 years of dental work and as a patient for nearly a decade, I can attest this team of professionals go above & beyond, setting the standard of excellence all around.
