Dr. Bellantese was highly recommended by my son's pediatric dentist (and everyone in his office.) Dr. Bellantese is a breath of fresh air - he is competent, friendly, gentle, and his appointments start on time. His fees are reasonable, his office is easy to find, and there is also plenty of free parking.
Dr. Bellantese does all the cleanings himself (I have sensitive teeth and appreciate his thorough, unhurried, manner.) He replaced 4 major fillings and it really wasn't a big deal - I was surprised at how relatively pain-free the procedure was and how quickly I was back to normal. I also had my teeth whitened.
Dr. Bellantese's office staff are wonderful, too. I never have to wait more than 5 minutes (if I have to wait at all.) I highly recommend Dr. Bellentese.
