A Amor
Had an unnecessary root canal done at this office less than two years ago and a filling put in, instead of a crown after they shaved my tooth down to nearly nothing. Fast forward I went to Rutgers Dentistry to have my wisdom teeth removed and my new dentist as well as the surgeons mentioned how bad the root canal was. The tooth ended up splitting in half hanging out of my gum like a hang nail. Not only was the root canal not necessary neither was her and her “specialist” shaving down my tooth so much. Along with the terrible root canal she would constantly try to get me to have a bunch of fillings done. I went there for a routine checkup the first time and I go to the dentist almost twice a year so I take good care of my teeth.
The only reason I went to her is because I had to change dentists and my new insurance sent me there after searching for a dentist. Along with that root canal she claimed I needed another 5 fillings. She had me do the root canal first because it was $500+ out of pocket which was clearly the motivation behind her having me do it. Thankfully after that terrible root canal experience and one filling I got from Dr. CUESTA I was able to find a better dentist who magically had to fix that one new filling, and send me to get the tooth that had the root canal and split removed. But I never needed those FIVE FILLINGS in the first place and my tooth could have been saved.
I believe she is motivated by money and making insurance charges. She is rude and a terrible dentist and doesn’t believe anyone knows anything about their own teeth. I will be writing to the board of dentistry in NJ about her again because she should not be practicing. If I could give 0 stars I would.

Had a root canal performed by Ms. Cuesta about 6-7 years ago. The office staff and she were very sweet , but I don’t need my dentist to be sweet , I need them to know what they’re doing. Cuesta does not ! At the time apparently, Ms. Cuesta had a specialist come in to perform root canal procedures. The day of my appointment , Cuesta walks in the room instead. The specialist wasn’t able to make it. Well not even two months later the crown comes out of my mouth completely and I return to Cuesta’s office.
The crown wasn’t even sized correctly ! The specialist reinserted the crown once it came back resized. Fast forward 4 years and I have an X-ray at another dentist in Livingston where I had a much better experience. He comments on the root canal tooth and even mentions that it doesn’t look good . Well . . . . he was right! Today the same root canal tooth is giving me excruciating pain and swelling.
As soon as I applied clover oil for pain it popped right out AGAIN. I am very unhappy with my experience with this dentist . Now I have to keep paying money for a tooth I already paid for . This is a nightmare. If you’re getting any major procedures done, STAY FAR AWAY !!! I do not recommend. You will be in a lifetime of mess.

I would have been a new patient but the person who answered the phone hung up on me while I was spelling out my name. Then I called back 9 times and she decided not to answer the phone. I would rather drive 100 miles for a dentist before I go here. Rude and unprofessional.

I will begin the way a rational human being would, first to let you know Dr. Cuesta has a great attitude and she is a very nice doctor. Her staff is really nice & beautiful people. The office is basic and needs more cleaning. Dr. Cuesta unfortunately my experience is not what I expected of you.
My tooth was all the way shaved down to the nerve, never have I ever had experienced such discomfort in my life. I'm hoping you do take patients experiences seriously as many of feel betrayed and we trusted you. The filling was not placed correctly , the worst part that nerve was exposed and imagine eating or drinking. After a few months noted that as a result my teeth are in worst condition. I will be more cautious and look for a better place next time.
