Last week, my 9 nine yr old face planted on the school blacktop, shattering his two (permanent) front teeth. Premiere Dental immediately fit him in for an exam and xrays. They requested he return after-hours to undergo an hour-long reconstruction of his two front teeth. The procedure was handled beautifully--with the utmost sensitivity and care. End result: my son's teeth look better than they did before the accident--the result of true artisan dentistry. This type of professionalism stands out as exemplary to me. We are beyond grateful. Thank you Premiere Dental, for going above and beyond!

I was in severe pain when I called Premiere Dental. From the time Sheila answered the phone I knew this place was different. Everyone I encountered were professional and pleasant. I met both Dr. Cernasov and Dr. Cheung. Best dental practice I've ever been to! Thank you all for taking such good care of your patients!

Allow me first to say, I have never left a review online for anything, be it a service or a product. However, after going to this dental office I felt inspired for the first time. Premier is just as the name describes. It's nonpareil to any other dentist office I've ever been to. As you enter, you walk into an impeccably clean and cozy environment. The staff is fantastic! You're greeted by friendly and attentive receptionists. Then met by a hygienist or assistant whose friendliness is just as outstanding as their skill and dedication to your dental experience. Dr. Alexandra Cernasov is a dental magician, I don't know how else to word it. She is friendly, fast, and remarkable at what she does. I have never had a more relaxing, stress free, and non anxious dental experience. If your looking for the best of the best for dental care in Dutchess County, look no further than Premier Dental.

What a seamless, perfect first impression! Reception is brightly lit, clean, and the receptionist is warm and knowledgeable. All of the standard forms are there, and the practice takes a pretty impressive variety of dental insurance plans. The X ray gear is some of the nicest I've seen, although fair warning the mouth bit isn't the most comfortable (just the nature of getting dental images, though). My hygienist, Joan, took excellent care to make me comfortable, adjusting and taking breaks as necessary while getting X rays, making polite conversation, and going over my dental needs (wisdom teeth were my big priority today) with a perfect balance of listening and then sharing what information would prepare me to talk with Dr. Cheung. Joan's cleaning was thorough but comfortable. The water pressure on the picks was almost laser-fine, which meant we were done sooner and with less feeling and splashing. Such a difference when a practice has the top of the line equipment! Joan let me know that they have a new fluoride treatment (not the foam with the mouth trays I got used to in my twenties) but that it's usually not covered by insurance; still, $40 for a fluoride treatment out of pocket was worth the investment to me, especially because I'm prone to cavities. I appreciated Joan being so up front about the cost and the benefits, and I know I made the right decision to get the treatment. Dr. Cheung gave a great consultation, very warm and reassuring, knowledgeable but approachable. He went over my X rays in depth and recommended a prompt referral to an oral surgeon he highly recommends in Poughkeepsie. He talked about the importance of flossing but not in a preachy way, but rather in the context of showing how it could help and talking about strategies to find time to floss once a day. Checkout was a breeze thanks to the awesome receptionist, and I left feeling confident about my teeth and the care I am in. Thanks to Pat Holden of The Red Hook Inn for recommending this great local business. Thanks, Premiere Dental!
