Employee application | Partners in Dental Health

Dr. Kent and the rest of the staff are gentle, caring, and compassionate. They handle my nerves, my daughter's sensitive gums, & my son's cavity-prone teeth much better than I could expect! Pain free and stress free visits mean a lot to us! The front desk staff is very friendly, & my youngest enjoys the toy area. I had to get a procedure done recently, & happened to look over at my electronic chart and saw "She is nervous. Please allow extra time." Everything went perfectly with no pain! They do not use mercury fillings, & they offer fluoride free (as well as traditional) oral hygiene products. This practice is great for any dentistry, including those seeking a more holistic approach, children, and nervous patients! ~Kristen Richardson, MSEd.read more

This was a cleaning and exam visit, and the hygienist who was doing the cleaning was very good at it. Also, one of my bridges fell out while on vacation, and Dr. Matthew Kent said the work the dentist in London did was really good and there was no need for a new bridge. Go to these dentists and their staff. Good people.read more

Best dentist I have ever been to in all my years. My entire family loves them, even the littlest of kids. None of them "fear" going as is often the case. I love that they utilize a more natural approach, knowing the dangers of mercury fillings and fluoride and not requiring them.read more

Very personable dentists and staff. Dr. Dean Kent is awesome--meaning knowledgable, skillful, kind, considerate and trustworthy. That is hard to find in a dentist these days. Also, I love the fact that this is a mercury free dental office, and I am thankful for the option to remove my amalgam fillings one day and replace it with a less toxic option. I had my wisdom tooth removed at the office and it went really smoothly. I felt cared for and would recommend this office to everyone looking for a great option for dental care.read more

They were able to schedule me in asap for a emergency visit. I was in serious pain and at 33 weeks pregnant. They took it very seriously, and was so considerate. I have been to other practices and none of them compare to this one. The staff is friendly and welcomes you with a smile, they were quick to handle my situation and get ahold of my doctor's for approval. The only downside is they don't accept my type of insurance, but I will gladly pay out of pocket to get this great service. I highly recommend this practice!read more

I was looking for a holistic doctor and I am so happy that I found Dr. Mattew Kent. I went to him for a second opinion for both me and my daughter after we were both misdiagnosed from another dentist and was extremely happy with him. I love that he has a more natural approach and does not just push treatment to get money for it. Another dentist wanted to do 1 filling, 2 crowns and put 2 spacers on my daughter's teeth. He laughted at me when I told him that I want to treat my daughters teeth naturally by changing her diet and adding supplements ( was following a protocol based on the book Cure tooth decay naturally). I did not feel comfortable adding that much metal in my daughter's mouth and told him I do not want any treatment. Three months after following that protocol I we went for a second opinion with Dr. Kent. He told me that she does not need any filling, crowns or spacers and to keep doing what we were doing. I don't know if the protocol was working or if the other dentist just didn't care and was just pushing treatment, or BOTH, but I am very happy that Dr. Kent agrees with me and does not look at me like I am a crazy mom wanting to help my daughter more naturally and avoid unnecessary treatments.After going to three different dentists I can say that I finally found the dentist that I can trust and I am extremely happy with him. Thank you, Dr. Kent!read more

I must share first, Dr. Leong is the bomb! He is excellent at his job. I had to have a tooth pulled out from the top gums of my mouth. He did not hurt at all. I felt absolutely nothing. So grateful to him. I want no one but him from now on. I feel the other dentists in this office is just as good. But I want Dr. Leong! Now the bad experience from the supportive service of this office! 1. The front desk did not return my Driver's license! I was nervous, and after getting my tooth pulled; forget she had not given my Driver's license back. After having to drive back in the rain, on a very crowded highway on a Sat. morning. As I got to the front desk, I never got a "I am sorry," this added to the my suffering. 2. She asked did I want to pay ahead. I said yes! I knew my tooth was gonna get pulled, and I did not want to deal with paying then. As Dr. Leong walked with my chart to the window. He handed her my charts. She looks at me. And asks for x amount of money. Before I could explain I already paid, she said oh you paid! Unnecessary stress. 3. I asked before being seen to join their dental plan, they offer. She had no brochure. And told me I would have to join another day! She later hand wrote prices. I feel I should have been able to join then. And a brochure/printed information at the least should be available. Besides the front desk person, everything else was very impressive. I hope the receptist either gets more training. And apply the proper procedures. Including normal good manners, the simple words, I am sorry. This office has such professional good dentists. The office is beautifully decorated. The supportive staff should match this! I might would not have wrote about the receptionist if she had seemed sorry. She did not! Her only response was, I tried to call you to tell you about card here. She never said, I am sorry.read more

I’ve been coming to this office and seeing Dr. Kent for over 10 years. I was there earlier this year for a routine check-up AFTER switching employers and insurance. The office staff failed to update my profile and kept calling and calling to get my insurance BEFORE the appointment or else... I would have to pay for the service ahead of time. Then charge me a $25 fee for canceling. ‘Office Policy’. People wonder why healthcare is so expensive and insurance costs keep going up. Why is healthcare so focused on charging insurance... I give Dr. Kent 5 STARS along with all the staff there MINUS the front office people. They failed to update my information earlier this year and want to inconvenience me and hustle me for it. They lost a long term client because of their ‘office policy’ ***UPDATE*** I spoke with a Manager and she informed me of what happened and addressed my concerns. I’m happy to say that I’m updating this review back up to 5 stars and keeping my appointment.read more

A piece of popcorn took a chunk out of one of my two front teeth on a Sunday night. The next morning, I called the Edwin office, which set up a noon appointment with Dr. Dean Kent. Dr. Kent repaired the damage, taking pains to make sure that the new portion matched the rest of the tooth and that the fit and tolerance were precise. I am a regular patient at the West Great Neck office, which isn't open on Mondays. This is the second time I have had a dental emergency that Dr. Dean has taken care of for me at the Edwin facility.

I broke my back molar eating popcorn Thursday evening (8/13/2020) which left a couple of pretty sharp edges that could have potentially cut the side of my tongue. I called Partners In Dental Health the next morning and even though my usual dentist was not in that day, I was able to come right in to the office for another dentist to smooth down the rough edges. Dr. Schneider (I think that's her name!) smoothed my tooth to where it is perfectly comfortable, and not only that one, but she found another rather sharp edge on another tooth and smoothed it down as well! I was very pleased and relieved! Thank you staff of Partners of Dental Health!read more
