About fifteen years ago, I had to have extensive dental work done due to an accident. The dentist I had at the time, did what he could to save most of my teeth, but he had to pull several and I ended up with a partial, two implants and a few crowns. They never sat right in my mouth and the implants would often fall out. After doing extensive research online, I finally decided to visit Dr. Kasem. I live more than an hour away; there are plenty of dentists in my immediate area, but none with his reputation, experience and expertise. By the time I finally went to see Dr. Kasem, my teeth were in bad shape and I had several severe infections in my mouth. I was mortified and embarrassed but he quickly comforted me and put my fears at ease. He and I sat together and he explained step by step his plan of action to help me. Together, we decided that it was in my best interest to get upper dentures and in the near future, work on my lower teeth. His price was extremely fair and I was more than pleased. The staff at A Dental Center of Excellence is nothing short of incredible! They are just as welcoming, kind, gentle and supportive as Dr. Kasem. They laughed, talked and joked with me; constantly helping me to relax. During my first procedure, Dr. Kasem explained each step of what he was doing, all the while keeping the atmosphere light-hearted and funny. It was a long day, but we got through it together. Immediately after my surgery, Dr. Kasem gave me my temporary dentures which were beautiful. He made sure that I was comfortable and sent me home. He called me that evening and the next day to check on me and make sure I was doing well. I went to his office once a week so he could check on my progress and make all the necessary adjustments to my temporary dentures. A short time later, I had to undergo extensive bone grafting to strengthen and enlarge my jaw; due to the poor dental work I had received so many years ago. Dr. Kasem explained in great detail what he was doing and how it would benefit me overall oral health. He knew that I was hoping for my permanent upper dentures by Christmas, so he opened his office on a Saturday and had me sit by his side with him in his dental lab as he painstakingly and artistically designed them; checking that the alignment was perfect and asking me my thoughts and opinions as he went. Within a few short hours, Dr. Kasem gave me back the smile I had lost so many years ago; however, truth be told, I like my new smile WAY more than I ever liked my original one!! In a few weeks, we will get to work on my lower teeth and I’ll have the perfect dazzling smile that I’ve always wanted. I’m getting married in August, and Dr. Kasem is giving me the best wedding present ever! Dr. Kasem started as my dentist, and today, I’m happy to call him my friend!

Dr. Kasem is truly a skilled, gifted prosthodontist with an incredible eye for meticulous details. I have been "Wearing" dentures for 25 years. In the last quarter century I have had a total of five sets of dentures made, all at Widely varying price points by multiple providers in the northeast usa. Up until meeting Dr kasem, not a single set of dentures was functional and each previous prosthodontist blamed me for not giving their dentures a chance to work adequately for chewing food. All of my prior sets of dentures were so poorly fitting that I actually had to take them out to chew food and then put them back in for cosmetics after eating. I spent tens of thousands of dollars over 25 years, hoping that with each new provider my situation would improve. Ultimately, my situation did improve dramatically upon seeking an opinion regarding the possibility of dental implants and dentures at the office of Dr. Kasem. He took a quick look at my last set of poorly fitting dentures, said he did not feel that adequate time and attention had been spent on the fabrication of the dentures, and promised me he could do better. He asked me a series of questions regarding my original teeths shape, size, color and spacing, then took me into his dental lab, sat me down and proceeded to fabricate a new set of dentures on the spot, tooth by tooth, checking alignment and having me look at each addition and change to confirm we were in agreement before moving onto next tooth. He replicated a slight overbite I had with my natural teeth, which had been one of the primary reasons that none of the prior sets of dentures made by others had felt comfortable in my mouth. Within a span of two hours, Dr Kasem changed my life. For people who are blessed to have strong healthy natural teeth, it is probably difficult to understand what a huge impact a properly fitted set of dentures can have. Fellow denture wearers can appreciate the nuances of not fully laughing or not going out to eat with friends due to inability to eat easily while conversing. Dr kasem provided me superior care and treatment at a fraction of the cost of any other dental provider in the eastern usa and I will always be grateful for the time and attention to detail he showed with every nuance of my care and treatment.

DR Mohammad Kasem has been an absolute pleasure to have as my dentist. After working with him on my upper dentures, theres no one Id have do any of my dental work then DR Kasem. When the time comes for my lower dentures, DR Kasem is the only one Id trust. He understood that my wife and I are disabled, and live on a fixed income, and that we dont have dental insurance. With that in mind he worked with us to put together what needed to be done right away, and what we could put off until we could afford the other work that needs to be done. We have to drive an hour each way to go to his office, but its worth the time and miles to have him as our dentist. He went through the complete process with my wife and I, so there were no surprises, which was great and reassuring to us. I knew what to expect on the timing from taking out my teeth, building up my gums so that I had a good foundation for my dentures, to what he would do to insure the best possible fitting of my upper denture. He explained to us the predicted timing of the whole process. From having my initial dentures, to when I should roughly expect my final fitting, and why it was done that way. He assured me that if after what should be my final fitting I felt like something wasnt right, I could call and get an appointment, and he would work with me until I was happy with the fit and function of my dentures? Again all this made us more at ease with both the doctor and the process. My dentures fit so well that I dont need any Fixodent or any other denture adhesive to keep my upper dentures in place. My friends and family were amazed at how well my dentures looked, and that included my neighbor who works for another dentist. I would highly recommend DR Kasem to anyone looking for a dentist, especially if your looking at getting dentures or implants. I cant thank the DR Kasem enough for the great work hes done to give me back my smile. After going through this, I think of DR Kasem as more then just my dentist, I along with my wife think of him as a kind and caring friend.
