I just had my 6 month cleaning. Meg, the hygienist, is friendly, efficient & gentle. Dr. Hunt, Kathleen & the entire staff were great. They helped ease my anxiety.

Dr. B and Gina are top class! They are a true A-team at this office! Very professional and answered all my questions and concerns through the process of my implant procedure. They even went ahead and swapped all my traditional silver fillings for the new modern white ones upon request. I feel so confident and beyond pleased with how everything came together.

I recently had cosmetic work done by Dr. Hart, assisted by Jennifer. He was as always friendly, informative, and professional. The work was done quickly, with no discomfort, and turned out better than I had hoped - I'm now proud of my smile! Thank you so much Dr. Hart, Jennifer, and Ariel Dental!

I had an appointment for the Monday following the fourth of July which was on a Friday. I was already questioning why my wife's bridge was quoted $800. 00 above other providers with the same Cigna discount plan. ( That they recommended) We ended up at another dentist $800 less out of pocket than Ariel. I had already been questioning their pricing. My wife was given a treatment plan for a cleaning of over a thousand dollars! Insane. And this is with the discount plan they recommended! Cigna; Fast forward: my cay ate a two foot long elastic string over the weekend. The appt reminder i received from Ariel via text came on Friday, the 4th of July with no way to directly contact the office to reschedule in advance. My cat ate the elastic string on Saturday the 5th. I called first thing in Monday, July 7, to inform them that i needed to stay home and monitor my cat for signs of distress like a twisted bowel.

I was told that because I've rescheduled in the past ( always with advance notice) , that I would be charged $43. 00 for a missed appt. Pretty shabby since there was no was to communicate over the weekend. Life happens, right? But to punish a steady patient who clearly has a medical emergency with one of his pets was a step over a line that i didn't appreciate. I had a bridge done there recently and the temporary kept breaking crumbling to bits and causing ME to lose time out of MY day. Who is reimbursing me for lost time? Not Ariel Dental, for sure. So, seeing that I had already checked their pricing against another before this latest incident, a well known dental outfit nearby for my wife's bridge and finding that we were being overcharged by $800. 00 by Ariel Dental I've decided to discharge myself and family from Ariel Dental and to use another dentist office in Scranton who, not only got her taken care of promptly, but saved us $800. 00 while doing a fine job, no breakage of the temporaries requiring multiple visits or discomfort, and a proper fitting of the final product, well matched and comfortable. The final push was Ariel telling me they are charging me $43.

00 for too late of notice that we couldn't make it. Despite the fact that there was no way to reschedule/contact over the holiday weekend. Maybe I'm old fashioned. When you have a client/patient/ customer who can't possibly foresee an emergency and has no means to notify you directly, you should cut them a little slack. I refuse to pay the $43. 00 since there was no means to contact in advance. Being overcharged sucks. So now they lost there patients!
