My wife and I have been patients at Dr. Alina’s dental practice for the past eight years. The two of us were not very big fans of going to the dentist because of our bad past experiences. We have not had that reluctance since we found this dental practice. The entire staff has the same great qualities that Dr. Alina has: friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable.

As for the pain factor of the dentist visit, she is so good in preventing patient pain, that when she injects the numbing agent into your gums, before drilling, you do not feel the needle at all. At 73 years old I can safely say she is the first dentist that I have gone to that has accomplished that pain free procedure. If you get a chance ask her about her life story, it will blow you away, and you will understand why she is so self-driven. We are not family members or affiliated in any way to Dr. Alina’s dental practice.

I have been with Dunes Dental for more than 4 years now and they have helped me a lot. Dr. Alina assisted and provided with knowledgeable advice as to what steps to take to from when I got to them to getting braces on as an adult. I recommend her office and her staff is always helpfull!

BEST DENTIST EVER! I'm nearly 69 years old and have seen a lot of dentists (since I've lived in 10 states and 1 other country). Dr. Cretu has been my dentist for 8 years now, and she is unequivocally the gentlest, kindest and most effective dentist I've ever had.

Her practice is staffed with people who are of the same caliber (and are clearly happy to work there), they use the most up-to-date equipment and methods, and I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes for my appointment. There are dentists closer to where I live, but I drive out of my way to Dunes Dental.
