Dr. Shah LITERALLY saved my teeth, after a botched procedure from a (former) dentist I was seeing put me in constant pain. Thank you for being the hero, Dr. Shah!!! In addition, Dr. Shah has called me after every procedure (it was a multi-step process to reverse the damage), just to make sure I was doing alright. That is pure class, caring, & professionalism. I did my research before finding a new dentist, and I can tell you, this one is the BEST. I strongly recommend Dr. Shah & the entire Newark Smiles team, as they are all amazing!!
