Dr Auletta pulled my two bottom wisdom teeth after learning they were impacted. He did such a wonderful job 3yrs ago I still recommend him to all of my friends and family members. Thank you to the staff and to the Dr for doing such a great job with me although I do not remember much from anesthesia it was all worth it.

Just leaving after three extractions and a existing blood condition. Wonderful, efficient and competent staff! Loved the doctor! I felt all along I was in great hands especially being so nervous. I realized I wanted to add more. Co side ring I have underlying issues I was on the phone a lot with the office. Every single person there was upbeat, humble and treated me great. The oral surgeon assistant was working wonderful too! Thank you all so much!!

My experience with this doctor and staff was so far beyond exceptional. I had a wisdom tooth that needed to be removed. I am new to the area and was in serious need of a good doctor. Found him on referral from a dentist I also found by chance. I was offered to chose local or sedation. I chose sedation and I'm someone that can be difficult to get an IV into. They got it and was left with a great experience of the procedure, and very little, manageable post op pain. I'd recommend this doctor to anyone.

The office did not inform us that they do not cover AETNA medical. They only cover dental insurance. We were referred to remove 4 wisdom teeth. The office should have advised us that they do not take AETNA and should have asked us to look for other Dr that do take AETNA. Instead this office pretended that we were maxed out of our benefit. On the consultation, they charged us $100. Then estimated that we'll pay 1.6K out of pocket. We by coincidence found out other Dr. that do take both medical and dental insurance for teeth removal. This other office charged us $60 for excellent consultation (with free high-quality Xray, as the primary dentis Xray is not big and clear enough) and billed $40 to insurance. The 4 teeth removal only cost us $141 out of pocket (not more than $1600 this office would charge), with almost $3000 covered by medical and dental ins.

I had the best experience coming to this office to get a wisdom tooth pulled. I had absolutely no pain during the procedure and after. The office staff and Dr were also amazing! Highly recommend! Thank you!

We have used Dr. Auletta for wisdom teeth removal and implants. His office staff is so easy to work with and really pays attention to every detail. Dr. Auletta has a great bedside manner and really listens to his patients.

I hate dentist but with that being said this guy is and was top notch and the staff are very friendly and take the time to explain everything to you. And they keep their office and waiting area exceptionally clean. Would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a place like this.

Dr. Auletta and his staff were fantastic! I always note how I am treated in any arena, and the whole office was very kind, friendly, and understanding. I was very nervous because I needed a tooth extracted; the procedure was quick and painless. I would definitely visit Dr. Auletta and his staff again. As one of the signs in the office waiting room says "RELAX" and there is every reason to believe that you can. Thank you to all of you! Karen A. Cotton :)

Best experience!! I have been quoted for upwards to $1200 for my 2 wisdom teeth to come out due to being impacted. Even by my past dentist was going to be closer to $1100 due to being out of network referral. I did some research waited for my dental plan to restart and made my consult. Consult cost for my X-rays under $200, plus what I needed day of appointment for my two to come out was $350. The morning I came in I was connected to the blood pressure machine and monitor plus meds put into the IV and within 5 minutes I was out and was awake an hour later and all done. Everyone in the office is so nice, gave directions for at home care! Definitely recommending anyone i know here for their oral surgery needs.

Had my wisdom teeth removed, FANTASTIC experience start to finish. They kept me informed on what was happening and what the potential risks were the whole time. Friendly and nice staff, quick and efficient service, and their office is clean and nice. They give you post op instructions and made it so easy for me to take care of myself afterwards and follow up if I had questions. I will always recommend this place.

Just got referred by my dentist for a tooth extraction to Dr Auletta. They pulled my tooth today. Someone cancelled. I can't begin to say how awesome the Dr and his staff treated me. I'm a big baby when it comes to shots etc. they were the best. In no hurry kept explaining everything they were doing. I highly recommend this office and staff. I can't thank them enough.

I contacted Dr. Auletta's office on a Wednesday with awful wisdom tooth pain! The office had me in the next morning. Not only is the front office staff personable, but they waste no time getting you the care you need. Dr. Auletta's office team is professional with a warm bedside manor. This team takes the time to be thorough from beginning to end. I didn't feel a single bit of discomfort and within a days time no swelling, no pain, and I plan to return to have the remainder of my work done ONLY by Dr. Auletta. I highly recommend this office if your looking for precision, fair pricing, and quality treatment. A special thank you to Stephanie for acquiring auth from my insurance within an hours time and guess what? I hardly paid dime and the work I had done would have been over $1,000! She even took the time to make sure I understood my after care instructions as well as Terri did as well. I also took notice of how pristine, new, and advanced the equipment was that they utilize. Dr. Auletta is an EXPERT Oral Surgeon with years under his belt, takes pride in his practice and it shows in his work. Thank you for the outstanding treatment I recieved and for putting up with my worries putting them at ease (as I was very nervous)
