Do not go here! I have given this office so many chances. Never again. I went in for two crowns. The front desk only scheduled me for a one hour appointment which is hilarious because I was there for 4.5 hours. That’s not an exaggeration! My appointment was a 2 pm, I left at 6:20 pm. The tech had no idea what she was doing and refused to ask for help because “I should be able to do my job”. From taking regular X-rays, to operating the machine to take digital impressions for my crowns, to making temporary crowns (3 different times and lost one) this tech just could not get it together! What a joke. After my final crowns come in. NEVER AGAIN! What a complete joke!

I regret my experience with Dr. Kumar. In my view, several restorations were placed without adequate removal of carious (decayed) tooth structure or proper isolation of the field. After noticing persistent sensitivity, I sought a second opinion; that exam documented active decay under recent fillings and recommended retreatment. Placing composite over incompletely cleaned lesions is contrary to accepted standards of care because it traps bacteria, accelerates recurrent decay, and risks pulp involvement. Beyond the technical concerns, I also felt the informed-consent process was lacking. Key options (e.g., caries removal to sound dentin, use of rubber dam isolation, staging vs. same-day multi-surface restorations) were not discussed, and post-op symptoms were dismissed. Taken together, this reflects a pattern of substandard, and frankly concerning, clinical practice in my case. I’ve since transferred care, had the affected teeth retreated properly, and my symptoms have resolved. I’m sharing this to help others make informed decisions: ask detailed questions about caries removal, isolation, radiographic confirmation, and follow-up plans before agreeing to multi-surface fillings.

I went here in April of 2024 for my annual free exam and cleaning. I was told during my exam that I had about 8 or 9 cavities that needed to be removed which was news to me especially as someone with extremely careful dental hygiene, who rarely eats sugar, and had no dental pain or discomfort. I didn't argue though, I just figured there must be something I was missing. Then I found out they didn't do the cleaning on the same day, which is fine. I asked them to schedule my free cleaning. I was informed that there was the free cleaning or the more in depth cleaning and they would not be able to tell me which one I needed until they were actually in there doing the cleaning which made no sense since they had literally just been in my mouth doing the exam. Anyways, that was enough of a red flag for me to pause scheduling anything and walk out. I waited for my benefits to reset and then finally made it into another dentist. I have 2 cavities (barely) that may not be ready for fillings for years and only needed a basic cleaning. Guess those 6 cavities just disappeared into thin air? I don't know. I'm not a dentist. Anyways. I just wanted to warn others to get a second opinion before dishing out thousands of dollars to have your teeth drilled into for no reason if it doesn't sound right.
