out of Read Reviews for Dr. Lawrence Charmatz
Full mouth check was never done. Work was done mostly on what he could see so many things were missed (found out later). Cavity work was 50-50 as to whether or not filling would fall out soon after it was put in. Some fillings were put in without properly cleaning out cavity, so tooth rotted underneath filling.
Very concerned about not causing pain, pleasant personally. Office/equipment is very out of date but charges were on the lower end of work done, so I guess you get what you pay for. His hours seem to be very unpredictable and there is no receptionist so if he isn't there or is working there is no answer. Sometimes there is no response for several days after we left a message. He seems very concerned , but I wish his work matched. My wife warned me to go to someone else (she left after half a year) and I wish I did as now almost all of the work done over the past couple of years has to be re-done in addition to thed teeth that are now completely destroyed because of being covered over while falling apart underneath. Too bad, nice guy.

Dr. Charmatz is a friendly, warm and down to earth dentist. He makes you feel at ease. Dr. Charmatz is compassionate and very detailed about procedures and information. He will explain step by step all that needs to be done and how to avoid unneccesary work. He favors a more holistic approach to dental care. Dr. Charmatz is also compassionate about dental discomfort. He understands the tension surrounding Novacaine injections and will suggest alternatives if possible. When I insisted on a tooth colored filling, he explained why it may not be a good idea. Instead of just taking my money. When I wanted a wisdom tooth removed, he gave me the pros and cons. Now that's a good dentist.
