out of Read Reviews for Dr. Terry Unchalipongse
Dr. Unchali diagnosed and treated several cavities-- the first ones I've ever had. He was very helpful and willing to explain things, and he provided good treatment. Unfortunately, having the cavities filled was pretty painful, but as it was my first experience, I can't compare... I might have just been exceptionally sensitive. His office is located in an old brownstone, and is clean and nice, but not 'like a spa' by any means.
I know this doctor: 1 year

I have been to Dr. Unchalipongse for several visits and have always found him socially awkward. I chose him as a dentist because he was covered by my insurance and was located very close to my home.
On the first visit he had found 4 cavities. I had not been to a dentist for a few years so it was possible but at the same time my dentist from the past always complemented me on how well I took care of my teeth. If anything I take better care of my teeth now than in the past. I gave Dr. U the benefit of the doubt and went through with filling these four "cavities". This was a nightmare. There seems to have been some problems when filling them. I had to return several times to have them adjusted. One still provides some discomfort several years later when eating. Another is difficult to floss around.
I have been very lenient as Dr. U is young and I assume he is new at this and have been back a few times since. But the last time was THE LAST TIME. Again he found a cavity. I understand that it is possible that I keep getting cavities but this many in such a short period suggests that something is wrong. He has never made any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong without me asking first. It's time for a new dentist
