My story begins with having trouble with my teeth from the time I began having children. I pretty much had all crowns and bridges by the time I was 50. Ive been to about 20 dentists over the years with the last one I saw because of an infection in a tooth that anchored a 4 unit bridge. Unfortunately, the dentist did a root canal in the wrong tooth and I wound up losing both teeth, thus losing the bridge. This left me with no teeth in the bottom right of my mouth coupled with not having two teeth on the top left of my mouth. I dealt with this for two years not being able to eat most of the foods I loved because of my inability to chew. I did some research on dental implants and went to see an oral surgeon. He informed me that I had lack of jaw bone for regular implants, which is all he used and required a bone graft. I underwent the procedure which was both very costly and painful. After a few months, it was derived that the graft had not taken, so he said I needed another graft. I agreed because I thought there was no alternative and underwent it once again. After a few months, he said this one did not take and that I could have bone removed from my hip to undergo another graft. Well, at this point, I said no way and decided to give up. I then did some research on dental implants and came across Dr. Petroskys site speaking about mini dental implants. I did some research on them and although some dentists will not use them, it seemed he had the knowledge and experience, so I went for a consult. He was very thorough and explained everything to me. Well, to make a long story short, I underwent the mini dental implant procedure and voila! I can now chew like a champ. The procedure went smoothly and it is now two years later and the implants are still going strong. On top of the implants, I had Dr. Petrosky re-do almost all of my other crowns and bridges, which produced the best smile I have ever had in my life! Dr. Petrosky loves what he does. You can tell immediately and his work shows that. I would recommend anyone to him. He is not only knowledgeable and up to date on all the techniques, he is a very kind, warm person. His staff makes you feel like one of the family and I love them all. Thank you again Dr. Petrosky! Thanks to you, I am chomping on an apple as we speak!

My Journey to Comfort and Confidence. After years of suffering with an ill-fitting partial and the loss of a crown for the third time, I was referred to a "specialist" by my family dentist. After an initial evaluation, including x-rays, I was told that I needed four sessions of oral surgery on my bottom teeth to remove overgrown gum tissue. That was the good news! Additionally, all of my upper teeth would need to be removed and I would be fitted with a denture. Devastating to say the least. When I inquired as to what my options were, I was told " You have no options". As luck or fate would have it, my wife happened to see an infommercial on Laser Periodontal Therapy. When I searched the internet I found Dr. Petrosky and Tuckerton Dental. Within a couple of days, I was in the office for a comprehensive evaluation and consultation. I found Dr. Petrosky to be very compassionate, in that he gave me the opportunity to express my apprehension and to ask numerous questions. It was at this point that he asked me "Would you like to be able to eat anything without pain or discomfort, because we can make that happen". Dr. Petrosky then detailed a plan that included laser therapy, mini-implants and a permanent bridge. I actually had options, go figure! During each phase of my ensuing treatment, Dr. Petrosky and his staff were amazing. Appointment times were accurate, insurance submissions were handled properly and the work was completed on schedule and above my expectations. For those of you who have suffered from a poor fitting partial or sub-par dental work, you know how frustrating it can be to have to avoid eating certain foods because of pain, or worse, the fear of your partial coming loose during a conversation. I am now experiencing the joy of eating without worry once again. For me, that was my goal. The fact that I can now flash a "Hollywood Smile" is just a bonus. I will continue to see Dr. Petrosky for all of my future dental needs and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. My sincere thanks to you and your staff for your compassionate demeanor, professionalism, and for restoring my self confidence. Edward

I begin by admitting that as a retired health care professional, I had not been to the dentist in many years. I had a hip replaced with much less anxiety than the dentist conjured up in my mind. Nonetheless, I finally made the decision to go back. I started with a local dentist ( unnamed) who was terrific and did initial evaluation and work on my teeth. Unfortunately, he informed me that I would need serious gum treatment and offered to refer me to a local periodontist for gum surgery. I had heard of laser gum treatment but he was pretty uninformed about the procedure. I did extensive research and that led me to Dr. Petrosky who does LANAP laser gum treatment, even though he is also a general dentist.Dr. Petrosky treated my gums and the results were excellent. I avoided painful gum cutting and had a vast improvement in my dental situation. During that time, I also found out that Dr. Petrosky does CEREC procedures which allow the patient to have a crown done in one day in one visit and in a very comfortable process. Needing several more crowns, that is when I decided to move all of my dental care to Dr. Petroskys office. Even though I drive 40 minutes to see him, I wouldnt have it any other way. Just a general dentist-NOT REALLY-he is actually a gifted, skilled "specialist" in many areas that the majority of general dentists have no clue about. His manner, caring and calm demeanor are phenomenal as he works on your issues and makes you feel totally comfortable at the same time. His office staff follows suit making patients feel like they are a part of the family in a warm and welcoming setting. Its not your usual office setting and that is one of the things that makes it so great. Dr. Petrosky is clearly a 15 on a scale of 1 to 10. If you need dental care of any kind, run, dont walk, to Dr. Petroskys practice and you will clearly see what I mean. THE BEST!!!

I have panic attacks entering any dental office caused from my time spent on active duty in t he military, and my bad experience with the VA that wanted to extract all of my upper teeth. My sister said come to see Dr. Petrosky he is wonderful, Okay another panic attack waiting to happen. I entered his office and thought I was sitting in his den watching TV ; reading all the memorabilia about old time actors and actresses, learning about the Titanic and its history. By the time I got to the dental chair, I was relaxed and again watched TV. My fear ended. You must come to his office to understand the wonderful way Dr. Petrosky puts you at ease. I went to the CT scan room; again not just a stark dental room, cold and bleak, but a wonderfully comfortable atmosphere. As we sat there he explained everything that was going to be done. His staff is great and very professional and know exactly what they are doing. The dental hygienist explained the proper and correct way to brush, floss and take care of my teeth and gums. Dr. Petrosky eliminated the removable upper partial denture; placed some implants and made a fixed permanent cemented bridge. This is like my natural teeth. I dont know why people complain that they have pain with their implants.....I had no pain and no discomfort and I knew they were placed in my upper mouth. I still dont have any pain. The doctor has state of the art equipment and will not hesitate to get any new technology to see that the patient has the best of care. I carry his cards around and give it to anyone who needs any dental problem solved. Dr Petroskys credentials are impeccable from Harvard School of Dental Medicine. In Boston; Misch Implant Institute, Detroit; Brookdale Hospital Medical Center, NY. IF YOU WANT THE BEST YOU GO TO THE BEST AND THAT IS DR PETROSKY From Mikey G.
