I needed to get a cavity filled on a bonded tooth and Dr. Cerniglia used a new laser technique that no one else has and fixed it in a few minutes without any drilling, any shots or any pain or stress! It was unbelievable! He's an amazing dentist always using the latest technology to make the experience of his patients the best possible one!

Dr. Cerniglia' entire staff was very welcoming and professional during the entire visit. Dr. Shannon Doyle performed my procedure and she was excellent. She walked me through everything that took place step by step. She was AWESOME! She very quickly returned my frown upside down. I am extremely pleased and satisfied. THANK YOU!
