At first my experience with Advanced Periodontics went well. I was seen for an initial consultation and was informed for my full denture I would need to have an expensive 3d surgical scan done. I had to pay close to $400 out of pocket for this scan. My insurance one of the so called "Cadillac Plans" did NOT cover this scan. I was given an outrageous estimate of the cost of the implants I had selected. After several days of trying to find financing or a loan or co-signer it quickly became apparent I wouldnt be able to afford my first choice. Luckily, I thought I had had them do the calculations for simple dentures on what I thought would be the off chance I couldnt afford the price with my insurance. I called them back and let them know that I couldnt afford the expensive implants that they had tried to hard sell on me, and that I would have to go the less expensive route. After informing Josh of this. He proceeded to instead hound and hassle me to "Find a Co-Signer, ANYBODY!" and "Is there anyone you can borrow money from? A Credit Card you can use?" Effectively still trying to hard sell me on the implants I had already told him I couldnt afford. When I had my wife call to speak with them some days later to see about getting an actual cost for the simple denture plan. Suddenly the price of the simple dentures I had been given at $2900 and change which my insurance COULD cover. That cost had mysteriously inflated to over $7K. When I called to ask how the cost could have doubled, I was given a long run around about how they were planning to bill part of it one way and part another and because the calendar year had passed my insurance would no longer cover as much. The office manager that I eventually spoke to after having dealt with Paul and him having hounded and brought my wife to tears with his high pressure tactics and extremely rude personality. Because I couldnt afford the expensive plan, the shift in demeanor and professionalism I experienced was profound to say the least. As I was saying, when I spoke to the office manager she was never able to adequately explain the sudden doubling in price. The insurance ricka-ma-roll that she tried to spout at me was just double talk that they guessed most patients I guess would be too dumb to figure out. I understood every word of what she was saying, Its just that what she was saying was a string of endless falsities and fallacies all in an attempt to cover up the fact that they were trying to gouge me for the biggest payday they could. Suffice it to say, I decided not to have my procedure done here. I have contacted another much more reputable office near me, that has given me a price more in line with what they had initially quoted me. While speaking with the receptionist at this rival clinic I mentioned to her the difficulties I had had with Advanced Periodontics and as soon as I had said the company name I heard a very audible sigh of disgust from the other end of the phone. Ill leave you with what she told me next. "Im sorry you had to go through that. We hear that a lot from their ex-patients."

If you want a professional, friendly and customer-oriented dental staff, Advanced Periodontics and Implant Dentistry is the right place for you. Ive been going to there for the past year and a half and my experiences there have been nothing short of awesome. Dr. Nejat is an amazing dentist who truly cares for his patients. He has an inviting personality and I feel at ease under his care. Additionally, I am a big fan of my dental hygienist Gabby - shes thorough and methodical at her craft and I can confidently say that no hygienist cleans my teeth better than she. On top of that, she has a great and positive attitude, which adds a certain level of comfort when I am under her care. In addition to those two, I have only had pleasant interactions with the staff there especially with Stephanie. There was an instance when I was having issues with my insurance and Stephanie literally did everything in her power to fix the issue including calling reps at my insurance multiple times and trying to understand the root of the issue – I was very grateful for her persistence and determination. I am very happy with service and will continue to recommend Advanced Periodontics to my family and friends.

I never thought I would enjoy lobster, raw vegetable, nuts and above all a piece of steak. It seemed like decades before Dr. Richard Nejat looked into my mouth and reassured me I will find my way back to smiling and eating well. It has been a long journey. However, the heroic Dr. Nejat helped me retrieve what seemed to be an irretrievable project - my teeth. This is a small token of thanks for giving me back my love of food, and smile about it. After my 4th implant check up, Dr. N gave me the green light to go ahead and chew! I went to my meat market and bought a piece of the juiciest filet mignon I can find, (even though I can just see my doctor frowning,) I consumed it with such relish. For once after so many years, I can just chew with wonderment and relish each morsel. Next came nuts. Something I longed for awhile, then fresh veggies, and fruits followed. I have not given a thought for eight months what to make for dinner or how to snack. I know these are not the teeth I was born with, but it was a gift from so many people. My boundless gratitude to you Dr. Nejat and also to your wonderful assistants. I promise you I will take care of them.

After few weeks of research, I was referred to Advance Periodontics & Implant Dentistry office for my implants procedure. I booked the initial consultation with Doctor Daniel Nejat; staff employees were very professional and flexible to work with my busy work schedule and my insurance work papers. Also, I was very pleased to learn about multiple payments options and plans offered to suit every individuals situation. During the first consultation visit, Doctor Daniel Nejat answered all my questions and was very thorough explaining every step of the process and what to expect at every stage of the implantation procedure. I felt very comfortable and assured that all my concerns were patiently addressed and discussed with the surgeon. The implantation procedure was a breath and I had no complications whatsoever afterward. I definitely recommend Advance Periodontics & Implant Dentistry office for any dental implants patients that are looking for a personalized and professional dentistry care. Im very grateful that Doctor Daniel Nejat was recommended to me and thank you again for the wonderful service I have received.

Dr. Richard Nejat is the most knowledgeable, practical and understanding dentist. He is constantly innovating as a leading developer of the latest dental procedures in the industry. He is the best dentist in my decade-long search of a good practitioner. 5 years ago, I was fighting with my periodontal problem and have found him from the listing of the American Academy of Periodontology. I have seen amazing improvement week over week in the past 5 years. If you are born with a genetic weakness to gum problems, and you are searching for a good periodontal specialist – look no further. Gum disease will lead to several other health problems such as sinus infections, sleep problems, headaches, halitosis, etc. Moreover, you may lose your teeth one by one with no effective cure if proper procedures are not administered by your dentist. Dr. Nejat will help you identify the issue in the early stages and preserve your natural teeth and stop deterioration of the gum line. Dr. Nejat’s assessment is precise and the procedure taken is effective. Thanks to Richard now I can smile and speak with confidence!
