Terrible experience. I recently got new insurance which forced me to choose a new dentist, hence how I ended up at Dental Arts of Freehold. In my opinion, both the dentist and hygienist were extremely pushy trying to sell extra services and were quick to tell me I had all kinds of things wrong with my teeth. I just went to the dentist last year where I was given a clean bill of health and in my lifetime have only had 1 cavity. After what felt like a rushed cleaning - they didnt floss my teeth or spend more than 5 minutes total cleaning the teeth, they told me I had over 12 cavities and needed to be sedated for a deep cleaning because I had gingivitis. The dentist discussed having me come in for multiple procedures so not all the work would be billed at once with the insurance company. I felt very uncomfortable with this discussion and left not scheduling any future treatment. To my surprise, I received a preliminary notice in the mail from BCBS for some of the work they wanted to do - which I never scheduled or approved. Baffled by this appointment, I decided to return to my old dentist. Before I went I requested a copy of my records and paid $15, but what resulted was a poor photocopy of my x-rays. At my old dentist, they called over to Dental Arts and requested to see the x-rays they took, but the receptionist at Dental Arts said they would not send over. At my old dentist, I received a full exam, thorough cleaning and x-rays and was given a clean bill of health. Not one cavity, no gingivitis. To this day, I still have not had an issue with my teeth. I will never recommend.

I’ve been recommended this doctor by a friend of mine when I started having a sudden and really bad toothache – I needed a pretty much an immediate help and was even considering going to an emergency room, considering it was Saturday late afternoon and the dentist that I’ve been using for years is located in Manhattan, where I work. Dr. Rimma was about to leave when I called and I was really luck that agreed to see me. Needless to say how anxious and miserable I was coming with excruciating pain to a new dentist. Dr. Rimma was so compassionate and so professional that it made me feel that I was in good hands right away. She took care of the pain rather quickly, she did the root canal and saved my tooth (which I still have ). It’s been over 2 years now since that first emergency visit and I’ve seen Dr. Rimma probably 5-6 times over this period. Every single visit I had the same impression of this doctor: very professional yet very compassionate and human, someone I can trust for best possible recommendation and treatment. I feel very thankful to dr. Rimma and can confidently recommend her to others (which I actually many times).

My wife went for a cleaning at Dental Arts of Freehold in June...... she was told she had one cavity and required a gum specialized cleaning. After being handed a $550.00 estimated bill for the two procedures we decided to add her to my dental insurance in hopes it would be cheaper. When my wife received her dental insurance card she called Dental Arts of Freehold in hopes to make an appointment, they did not take our insurance so we ended up having to find a new dentist. After seeing the new dentist and being told her teeth were perfectly fine.....there was no cavity to be seen and no need for any gum treatment.....She was even told if anything she brushes too hard. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY HERE!!! They literally cut into your mouth for no reason , except to fill their wallets! Also they charged her $37 to get a copy of her medical records!!!! They tried to only give her one printed page of her xrays but when she was shocked they were charging her $37 for one page they generously printed out one more. DENTAL ARTS OF FREEHOLD IS a total scam!

I have been going here for some time and I have to say I love the service! They are always friendly and informative. They do offer a ton of services and will tell you about them but they have never made me feel pressured to buy them so I dont know what the other reviewers are talking about. Dr.Max is an awesome dentist and Vita is a superb hygienist, both are very thorough and careful to keep your comfort in mind during every visit. I have had multiple fillings and had the deep cleaning done, and never had an issue with any of this being out of my budget and I definitely do not make a lot of money all. I have gotten both silver and clear fillings here and neither of them have had any problems. The deep cleaning was a two visit process for both sides of my mouth and did take about an hour and a half each visit but it was very thorough and I can see, and feel, the difference in my teeth. I havent gone for a whitening yet, even though I need it, as I am contemplating the whole process. If I do it will be here for sure!

AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL, Dr. Rimma Chertog has groupon deals to get you in the chair, and then doesnt deliver. I went in for a in office teeth whitening, and a cleaning. She tried to pass of a kit, and when i refused and said I wanted the in office whitening as per the groupon deal, she made me book ANOTHER appointment. I took off from work, and get there and tells me that I have to replace all my fillings so the whitening wouldnt cause pain. I am a former dental assistant, and I can tell you that this was a ridiculous claim. My fillings were fine, they just wanted to charge me more money for a larger treatment plan. I NEVER got the in office whitening because I refused treatment. What I find funny is the fact that she said the kit and in office whitening were equally effective, but when I came to redeem the in office whitening, all of the sudden it was in issue. These people are ridiculous.

they are thieves. I had a bad pain in my jaw that shot into my ear. I went in and asked if they could see me as an emergency. They did, first she told me I needed a root canal when I said forget that she banged on my teeth in the area of the pain. it didnt hurt so she told me I have a canker sore in the back of my mouth. I could rinse with salt water and it would go away in 7 to 10 days. .....or she could laser it for $150. I asked if that would make it go away. she said it might heal faster. I told her I didnt have $150. or insurance so she told me to rinse with salt water. on my way out I was billed $180. FOR THE VISIT. They took advantage of me because I was in pain. They are only in it for the money. if you go there keep one hand on your wallet they will rob you.
