The hygienist I saw, Ireyna, is the best hygienist I've ever had in my optionion. She was so gentle and kind with me and did a thorough cleaning without any pain. It was my first visit with Universal Dental and this is definitely my new place to go. Front desk staff were super nice and professional also.

Horrible experience!!! Beware as once you start work there you are trapped. I went there for an implant crown in March and they just placed it in May 21/2018. They did not screw the crown like they were supposed too and instead cemented it without giving me options. . There is no one to complain too. When I asked to see the doctor to have him screw the crown down I was given an appointment for July.I have repeatedly asked to speak to the doctor or owner of practice and all I get are the receptionists or business managers. They are rude and don't give one a straight answer. I have requested information on where my crown was fabricated and they refuse to give me this information which I have a right to know under HIPPA. This place is not run like a normal doctors office and I am so sorry I came here. I don't wish this on anyone. Update on three ears later and I had to replace crown as it was not done properly. Went to a reputable dentist and what a difference in how the crown fits and looks. My experience in this place was traumatic. Supposably the expert in crowns was nasty, rude and unprofessional. Their prices are not so great either as they charged me 1500 for a implant crown that did not fit properly and they never took an x-ray and made me feel like they were doing me a favor. New dentist charged me $2000 clean office, pleasant and best part guarantee on work. He , took x rays throughout the fitting and only took 2 weeks. Probably because he used someone in area and not in China. They claim the dental lab they work with is in California but are not able to give an address. I had the misfortune to be a witness to how they run their business while they made me wait for two hours until crown expert could see me. This other dentist, not looking very professional with dirty ked slip ons, was more involved in his texting than listening to prospective client who was telling him sad story about chemo treatment that affected her teeth. He only perked up when he started calculating how much it would cost her to replace teeth and immediately ran to get one of the minions that work there to sign contract. Again, violation of Hippa, no compassion, unethical behavior and no professionalism. Worse part, they did not do examination and x rays until she signed contract and gave deposit. This place is not cheap and in the long run you will end up with more dental problems and will have to pay more money.

(Translated by Google) My wife was in that place having implants done, they told her that they would be done in six months and three years have passed, the work was not finished every time I went, the dentist had to come back, who worked very rudely. It is still the hour that they have not finished it and they do not respond for this work, I do not recommend it and be careful with them. (Original) Mi esposa estuvo en ese lugar haciendose unos implantes le dijeron que se los hacian en seis meses y han pasado tres anos.El trabajo no lo terminaron siempre que iba tenia que volver ademas el dentista que le trabajaba muy grosero. Todavia es la hora que no lo han terminado y no responden por este trabajo.No lo recomiendo y cuidado con ellos.

My husband Santiago Fernandez got implants done . They did top and bottom . He had been looking to do them for some time and visited different places but was not convinced. It was at Universal Dental that he decided to do it, and it was the best decision he ever made. The doctors are excellent as well as the staff they make you fell confortable from the moment you walk in . They are all very professional and very caring , and the results were great the set of implants look like they were his own teeth, the color is perfect. He has recommended two other friends and they are also very happy with the results. If you are looking for a place to do your implants don't hesitate to go to Universal Dental I'm sure you'll be satisfied.

Universal Dental Implant Center is a very is very good Business. The office Representatives they treat me with respect and good manners, they are sure professionals. The Dentist are good, like DDS Larry White treat me with respect , he he did procedure(implant) he uses state of the art technology to do the procedures and he was sure that I was constable and with out pain. The Dental assistants are friendly and kind. They always .are there for you. Today, they finished with the crown on the implant. The Implant (tooth) looks like my original teeth. My wife said that the teeth is excellent and see no difference in color from the others once. I would advice to any one who is searching for denture implants , to visit UniversalDental Implant Center in Fort Lee. NJ, before making . a choice

UPDATED based on owner's response: I know how technology works so I doubt you know who I am beyond guessing. Regardless, the point is this office is trying to intimidate those who complain and cover itself by attacking them like calling me difficult which I have not been at all. Let's finish the job and go our separate ways. Unethical safety practices even if allowed by law. I was there recently and the owner had both of the little waiting rooms PACKED with patients and all procedure rooms occupied. One room has no windows, only central air ventilation that has been shown dangerous for spreading the virus without virus filters. The other waiting room had a window air conditioner blowing air all over. The right thing to do is what responsible practices are doing: One to two patients at a time inside the office and waiting in your car when you get there. This unfortunately is an assembly line practice. Shame on you. I am obviously not using my real name because I still have many appointments there to finish my dental work, which I now regret.

Bad experience with dentists at this practice with major procedure over $16,000. Teeth implants were done but caused me great pain for months after. Went back a few times and just made it worse. I went to a few other dentists that advised that the implants were not done properly. The dentists at this practice refused to give me dental implants serial number, which I needed the serial number to fix the procedure with other dentist. I would not recommend this dentist.
