The best dentist in Ithaca. After years of having dentists who took advantage of me and gave me unnecessary fillings, Dr. Ambis was a breath of fresh air. I scheduled my first appointment with Dr. Ambis about 7 years ago, after being told by my dentist at the time that I needed two fillings (something I was being told at almost every cleaning). During my first appointment, Dr. Ambis said that I didn't have any cavities that needed to be filled, and that I just had two weak spots that I should pay extra attention to when brushing and flossing.
My old dentist had been drilling what didn't need to be drilled in order to make a quick buck. Dr. Ambis will never try to sell you unnecessary procedures. He doesn't judge your for the state of your teeth, and he is incredibly accommodating to folks dealing with dental anxiety. I cannot recommend his office more highly.

I am so disappointed for not checking these Yelp reviews earlier. I was led to believe I would be reimbursed for the fancy X-ray and $1400 dental splint. In one month, I spent over $2000 I'm this place, and I have excellent insurance, including dental, through Cornell. I was told by my insurance company that I was overcharged for everything (a quick Google search will give you a range for splint prices.$1400 is well above the range), and that the $550 x-ray was unnecessary.
I could have gotten similar results, covered by my insurance, with regular x-rays. Interesting to read that someone else here had a similar experience, and was told that dental insurance does not cover splints. If they knew this, why not be upfront? Very dishonest.

I had my excellent experience there today. My ceramic crown was getting loose and fell out. I called in the morning and they responsively got my appointment set at noon in an irregular open hour. Dr. Dotti is very friendly with her heartwarming smile and she helped me with getting prepared for everything nicely. Dr. Ambis is rather knowledgeable and professional. He in detail asked what my situation was and then did a precise evaluation.
They surgery done by him was perfect. He explained patiently what was needed to be done and what the options were and then, boom, everything got fixed neatly. Besides the regular stuff, they also educated me about oral health and gave me useful information I wanted to know. It's the right place to go to get your dental issues fixed;

Dr. Ambis is the best dentist I've ever been to. Not only is he "painless", he cares about you and your health. I have had many procedures done by Dr. Ambis from cleaning, root canal and an implant and I have been totally satisfied with all the work performed. The office staff is exceptionally friendly as well. I would recommend Dr. Ambis to anyone.

Friendly staff.you pay for what you get.he has fixed several teath from previous work from other dentist. not pushy in any way to have work done. You go when you are ready and comfortable. great for fixing fillings crowns and ect. I highly recommend him over many dentist that are well known in the area.he has had to fix a lot of issues they did incorrectly.will never go anywere else.in addition you can call and ask them how much a cleaning will be or filing.like I said I would rather pay and have them done correctly than have a filling fall out several times in the past from previous dentist.he takes good pride in his work!

Looking back at the students who got mislead and end up spending hundreds of dollars on top of their expensive insurance, this awful dentist office should be condemned and nobody should ever go to this place. Shame on you!

Disappointed. They led me to believe that they take my insurance but they required that I pay up front and they would submit a reimbursement for me. However, it turns out that they are out of network on my insurance and I did not end up getting reimbursed for my cleaning. After inquiring with the dental office about it, it turns out that they don't take any insurance at all. I got scammed.
