Greenhaven Dental Group

One thing that I really like about Dr Lachapelli is that she strongly believes in doing as much as possible to save a tooth. I’ve been going to her as long as she’s been at Greenhaven Dental and I have always been happy with her work.

Me and my family have been going to this place for the last 10 years and we love it. i have never had any problems and my kids always enjoy it too.

I am very picky about my dentist and Margarita does a great job, had a root canal done (molar) first time I have never had pain or infection I would highly recommend

I love this dental group. No-​nonsense, straightforward dentistry. I’ve had a filling and sealants done here with no issues afterwards. They are very middle of the road– no pushy sales and they will isten of you don’t want x-​rays. I only allow x-​rays every 2 years, if that, and they do not get upset over my request. Gentle and thorough.

I’ve been going to this dentist every 6 months for the last 2 years and I think I’ve finally woken up and decided to go somewhere else. I had a filling done by her a couple years ago. The filling fell out last year. She filled it again, stating that a cavity is what caused it to fall out. Well, the same filling recently fell out again. I know I may play a role in the hygiene of my teeth, but honestly I have never had this much of an issue with one tooth with past dentists. I almost feel like I’m being set up to have more expensive work done. In addition, they don’t provide goody bags with a new toothbrush and floss. This is the first dentist I’ve known that doesn’t do that. Not a big deal, but it’s a nice perk. I plan on going back to my old dentist for sure.

This is a chop shop. They told me I had 2 root canals when I first started going but this year after I left them for my current dentist, i was told I only had old fillings to replace… seriously 2 root canals when I only needed updating some fillings. Wow. don’t go here. Go somewhere else!

My reason for visiting this dentist was to re-​cement a capped tooth that dislodged the prior evening. Though I had misgivings as a result of my first visit, I decided to try one more time as my HMO has limited access to what I consider quality dentistry.
To give you a little background experience, my first visit resulted in this dentist being rude and annoyed while cleaning my teeth, because the reflexes and nerves in my lip apparently pushed back (even though the lip was numbed), when harshly pressed against while drilling as though she were removing cement from the sidewalk. Her comments ranged from «I can’t work like this» to «you’re making my job too hard» followed by rude noises and sighs.
My visit today resulted in one of three options; pull all teeth-​get an upper plate, pull this one tooth=add one tooth to my existing partial, or cement the current tooth-​taking the chance the tooth will crack and fall out leaving me in terrible pain. My only option at the moment was to cement the current tooth back in place. This dentist pushed the tooth so harshly in place toward an «outward» positing, holding it there with her finger for more than 1 minute, until it was so painful that I developed an instant headache. She then shaved the bottom of the tooth making it shorter. She never tried my partial to see if it was correctly positioned, nor did she check to see if it was too long or too short.
Finally, when she placed my partial in my mouth, she made a comment «Oh it is sitting out in front of the partial — was it always like that?» Before I could retrieve my glasses and the mirror, she just walked away. The final strike came when she stepped to the front counter noting the chart and said to me «that will be 10.00,» but the very rude and money grabbing receptionist said «oh what, you didn’t do anything?» to which the dentist replied, «I just cemented a tooth.» The receptionist then said «oh well was it permanent cement?» to which the dentist replied «oh yes.» The receptionist then goes «that will be 60.00.» (Total rip-​off whether temp or perm cement). I had this done at another dental office 2 years ago, and it was free). I don’t believe it is just me, because there is another not so flattering review of this office.
I also overhead her conversation with a patient who was having a problem with spacing under or around his dental plate along with the way it looked, The dentist commented «people expect dentures to fit like their regular teeth.» She asked him to place the old one in his mouth, followed by the new one to see which he liked best. His answer was the old one. At this point, she could not locate a dental tool she needed and requested her assistant to locate it; other tools were shoved and pushed aside, items were picked up and dropped heavily and drawers were opened and a bit harshly closed; that is when I got my big break, and she began work on me.
It is obvious to me that this dental office is in no way concerned with quality care of the patient; rather, the obvious goal is «mo money.» Obviously, I will never go here again.

This place is pretty awful. The name is extremely deceiving because «dental group» would imply that there’s an actual group of dentists. Nope, it’s just one dentist.
I had just gotten dental coverage after not having it in a long time. The dentist told me I had two cavities. I didn’t doubt her and she scheduled me to come back in to have them filled. She filled them for me without any anesthesia and it didn’t hurt at all. This led me to wonder whether or not my teeth needed to be filled to begin with, but that’s not really the issue.
She was sanding down the filling and asked me if it felt okay. I didn’t feel anything unusual, so I said yes, and she sent me home. I had some discomfort on one of the teeth that she had «fixed.» It was mostly tooth sensitivity, which manifested into shooting pains. I went back to have her take a look at it about 2 weeks later.
She basically told me that she knew that there was something «wrong» with the tooth and that I should have said something when I was first in. I should have known? Are you not the dentist? Am I supposed to intuitively know how to do your job? Anyway, she sanded the tooth down some more and that seemed to have alleviated the problem.
This entire office is a little dysfunctional because the receptionist is also horrid to deal with. Completely rude, and not helpful whatsoever. Needless to say, I have since switched dentists.
