Services
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services transform smiles through teeth whitening, veneers, and smile makeovers. We combine artistry with dental science to address discoloration, misalignment, and imperfections while maintaining natural functionality. Patients benefit from improved confidence and oral health through customized treatment plans.
Dental Implants
Surgical-grade dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that mimic natural tooth structure. This restorative option prevents bone loss while offering stability for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Our precise implant placement ensures long-term durability and seamless integration with existing teeth.
Crowns and Bridges
Custom-fitted crowns restore damaged teeth while bridges replace missing teeth permanently. We use biocompatible materials to create durable restorations that match natural tooth color and function. These solutions prevent adjacent teeth from shifting and maintain proper bite alignment.
Sedation Dentistry
Our sedation dentistry options help patients with dental anxiety receive necessary treatments comfortably. From mild sedation to deeper relaxation techniques, we tailor sedation levels to individual needs while maintaining safety protocols. This approach enables completion of complex procedures in fewer visits.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services deliver superior results compared to over-the-counter products. We offer both in-office Zoom! treatments for immediate results and customized take-home trays for gradual whitening. Our supervised approach ensures safe enamel protection during the bleaching process.

I cannot thank Dr. Fagin enough. I had five missing adult teeth (three molars) so my mouth was difficult to begin with, but he made me a partial denture that looks AMAZING! I get scared at the dentist, and he was great with making the experience painless and worry free. He is very patient and gives you the individual care you need. Additionally, Dr. Fagin's staff is extremely kind and professional.
His assistant Sue was great in making sure I was comfortable during appointments, and Jennifer at the front desk was always so kind and patient over the phone and in person, and with payments. All in all, I cannot recommend Dr. Fagin's office enough.

Dr. Wendling has provide the most friendly and caring service each time my father and mother visited him. He worked with infinite patience while my father was trying on his partial and crown. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs someone to offer the sagest dental advice.

I've been a patient for about 22 years. They've taken great care of me, my husband, and our 2 girls. They always try their best to accommodate you if an emergency arises. We drive 35 minutes to get to the office. We have other dentists closer to us but we won't switch! We wouldn't trust anyone else!

Where to start. I first went to Dr. Fagin back in 1999 for dental work to be completed on my front teeth, I was about 14yrs old. Fast forward ~20years later I decided it was time to have them "refreshed". Prior to going to Dr. Fagin I had constant issues with teeth breaking or discoloring. Going to see Dr. Fagin after 20yrs not visiting him, he was able to recollect much of my previous history. Due to my age and wanting to have my underbite and everything completed accurately, we walked through the necessary steps before having crown work completed on my front teeth.
I could not be more pleased with the time spent and the professionalism of the staff and other DDS' I worked with. Everybody at the office takes your comfort as a priority. The office is up to date, comforting and using of the newest technology. I highly recommend East Amherst Dental to anybody looking for routine check ups to your more severe dental needs. They do it all and it's done right. Thank you again Dr. Fagin, Sue, and the staff at East Amherst Dental!

My whole family have been patients for years and have always have a great experience at this practice. All of the dentists and hygienists are great at what they do and are amazing at working with patients, very clearly showing care for whomever they take care of. I've never had a bad experience at an appointment in the ~15 years I've been a patient.

I've been going to EADC for over ten years I won't go anywhere else. I've had tooth extractions, fillings removed and replaced, and sealants done over the years. Each procedure was a brilliant success. I've had experience with Dr. Wendling, Dr. Rice, and Dr. Picano and all have a wonderful bedside manner that matches their skill. Most importantly, the person I see the most is the dental hygienist Shannon and I can't say enough about her.
Before I came to EADC, I dreaded going to the dentist because of the discomfort I would experience during cleaning and the chastising I would receive for the poor care I took of my teeth as a kid. Shannon is the opposite of every other hygienist I have ever visited. She is friendly and gentle while incredibly skilled and speedy. I look forward to my cleanings these days and am not sore afterwards. In my experience, good hygienists are hard to find and Shannon is one of the best! To sum up, good advice, great work, and comfortable visits. I offer my gratitude.
