Dental Clinics in Hart Blvd, Staten Island, Richmond County, New York

Dr. Costa expertly fixed my broken tooth with a crown right in the office. It didn’t have to be sent to a lab and has lasted. The staff is caring and courteous and gets you in quickly in an emergency.

I went in for a routine cleaning and was told I had cavities that needed to be redone. I truly wish I hadn’t agreed to the work, because ever since they touched one of my back teeth, I’ve had nothing but issues. After they refilled the cavity, the tooth became extremely sensitive — especially when biting down. I also started getting food stuck between that tooth and the one next to it, which had never been a problem before. I suspect they added too much material or didn’t shape the filling correctly. I went back several times (about 4–5 times over six months), and each time they said they’d fix it at no charge. Unfortunately, the issue just kept getting worse. Eventually, I was told I might need a root canal — which was shocking, because I’ve never had any major dental issues in my life. When I asked for a refund and a copy of my x-rays so I could go somewhere else, they told me I’d need to sign an NDA first. I never signed it, and still haven’t received my records — even though it’s been nearly a year. As someone who’s always taken dental care seriously, this whole experience has left me frustrated and honestly a bit scared to go to a new dentist now. I don’t want anyone else to go through what I did, and I feel like I have a right to share my experience to help others make an informed decision.
