I was a patient of Dr. Christopher Omeltschenko for several years - and I am posting this to warn others about him. After becoming acquainted with "Dr. O" on routine dentist visits, I had found the idea of cosmetic dentistry appealing. He began to sell me on the idea that the mercury fillings in my mouth were potentially toxic. He consistently commented on them at the conclusion of every visit recommending they needed replacement with CEREC restorations. With CEREC being a new technology at the time, he assured me that the restorations could be done within one day and he provided a "lifetime" warranty on each restoration (contingent upon your teeth being cleaned routinely every 6 months). Due to the high cost of CEREC, I slowly began to replace my largest mercury fillings with CEREC restorations. What did I have to lose with a lifetime guarantee? Unfortunately, 2 out of 3 of those CEREC restorations failed within a few years. Dr. O did honor his "lifetime" warranty and he did replace the first CEREC restoration that had broke. After the second CEREC restoration broke, I obtained a 2nd opinion from another dentist that also specialized in CEREC restorations. I learned that CEREC wasnt strong enough for molars -- and he did not recommend CEREC for use in molars. Coincidentally, the teeth where Dr. O had replaced the mercury fillings with CEREC that were failing were both molars. The third tooth (that was not a molar) that Dr. O replaced with CEREC has lasted. However, I believe Dr. O unnecessarily disturbed and replaced the mercury fillings of the two molars with the failed CEREC restorations. Both of these teeth later required root canals with crowns to save. Consequently, I cannot recommend Dr. Christopher Omeltschenko ("Dr. O") and/or Total Dentistry.

This was my 3 year old daughters first trip to the Dentist. The dental hygienist (Cindy) did a wonderful job with her. The exam went so much better than expected. Cindy explained things to my daughter and gave a quick example of what each tool (spin brush, water squirt, suction, even dental floss etc.) did before she used it in her mouth. My daughter not only cooperated but had a smile at the end. No tears!!! Cindy even reminded mom to get a picture since this was her first trip. It really went very well. Thanks again Cindy! The Dentist was not as friendly. He was more quick and to the point. In a hurry I guess. He could stand to be a little more friendly with the kiddos!

I had a GREAT experience at Total Dentistry! The staff was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. They even put a tv on for me to watch when I was in the dental chair. The dental hygienist was so thorough and took her time making sure she didnt miss anything. Dr. O was great and I could tell he is very detail oriented and seemed very cutting edge with his knowledge. I am going to send my husband and kids to Dr. O. I am really picky about dentists because my step-dad is a dentist, in California, and I know what good dental care is all about. I am so happy to have a great dentist in Cincinnati! What a relief.

I LOVED my visit, I went in for a cleaning and was actually seen at the time of my appointment. I have never been to a doctors office and be seen on time. Dr. Omeltschenko and the staff were so nice and personable, and made me feel very comfortable. I will now be scheduling the rest of my family. They were great!

I had a great experience at Total Dentistry. Dr. O. and the staff were very efficient and caring. Everything was explained to me in advance. I felt very informed and very well cared for and I will definitely be returning for future care and treatment.

Unusually expensive for a dentist. Normally insurance will fully cover a dental cleaning even out of network, but we paid much more out of pocket for simple cleanings. We have since moved on to a new dentist.

Felt like they were extremely pushy to perform expensive cosmetic procedures. Made me feel very uncomfortable. Needless to say, I found another dentist.
