Dentistry for Children of West Essex

Gale Berninghausen

We're very happy with this dentist. The office staff is very friendly, helpful and kind (Charlotte is especially wonderful). Our kids have seen Dr Yoon and Dr Bonham, and both have been great. The doctors and hygienists are very good at helping kids feel comfortable during cleaning and x-rays. We highly recommend this office!

Great service from both the front desk staff and doctor! I had went in for a filling and was given a warm charismatic welcome from the front desk. Dr.Vivian and her assistant Lenny were both calm,composed and efficient in everything they did making sure I was fine throughout the whole process,while simultaneously relaying necessary information on my oral health. I genuinely highly recommend!

We had a good experience with the dentistry here for years but the orthodontics are a total scam. You are given a quote but no real treatment plan and then billed endlessly until your benefit is maxed and beyond. They dangle the carrot that if your kid uses their retainers correctly, they won’t need braces. My son took that seriously and told the doctor that he was going to be “legendary. ” At first, they praised how well he was doing following the instructions.

He continued following the same directions and after years, when we started to question why there was no improvement, suddenly they start telling you your kid is at fault. It gets to the point where the doctor is berating kids in the office and really yelling at them for not adjusting retainers properly. We started questioning the cost, lack of progress and ultimate objective with no real answers given. We left and are now at a real orthodontist who is providing quality treatment. But, our benefit is maxed, we paid thousands of dollars out of pocket, and now we are paying again.

We figured it would cost more in legal fees than we lost to recover and I am sure they count on that. I am also upset that I let the doctor speak to my child that way and make us all feel like it was our fault. Medical professionals should not speak to children that way. I hope this will stop other parents and caregivers from making the same mistake. Do not fall for it!

My daughter had a great experience from the moment they walked in the door she was greeted by the friendly receptionist. While in the room with the dentist and the assistant, she was comfortable. After the cleaning, the front staff celebrated her for not having cavities with a song, signing a wall, taking a picture with a giant toothbrush and gifted a few parting gifts.

Excellent dentist experience. Unlike my traumatizing childhood dentist experience!
