Sparkle Kids Dentistry

I was referred to Sparkle by my kids general dentist. Obviously they haven’t seen or been in the office for a while. First impression, lovely building, then you go inside and it’s discusting. I have never been in such a filthy dental office in my life. I told my kids to not touch anything and made sure to use their hand sanitizer constantly while we were in there. We were a few minutes early for our appointment but were kept waiting for 30 minutes or so. Seemed more like a dental factory than an office, people everywhere crammed into these rooms, Dr.‘s in and out of rooms quickly. We get called in and the rooms are so incredibly tiny two people can’t fit inside together. They take xrays and have a Dr. chat with me outside the room at the counter for less than 2 minutes where everyone can listen. Again employees walking around rushing around everywhere. I haven’t had to see an oral surgeon for my kids prior to this so naturally I had questions, I was answered very rushed, and the Dr. had a condescending tone when answering my questions. We now move down the counter to schedule a procedure, the ill mannered and classless secretary schedules us. I call back to confirm and ask about an earlier time, very rude office staff, extremely ignorant and cold. There is one piece of good news, we went somewhere else and were treated like human beings.

Visited Doctor Arora for a consultation to get my wisdom teeth extracted & had a HORRIBLE experience.
Amongst other things that he mentioned that made me nervous, he said that I should go with general anesthesia although my dentist suggested I shouldn’t, as it is not necessary and not covered by my insurance, but he still persisted.
Afterward, his secretary comes in and goes over the pricing with my insurance. With all the medicine, injections, and extra half hour of general anesthesia and all 4 teeth extracted… it is a total of $ 685…& I have pretty good insurance! So with my uncomfortable consultation and worries about how am I going to get all this money within a week, my dentist suggests that I look at oral surgeons in NYC as NJ does not have many oral surgery centers.
I quickly found another oral surgeon also covered by my insurance. Not only did this doctor tell me this will be an EASY extraction since my teeth aren’t fully developed and so the roots aren’t too deep, but that it will take 25 mins top with LOCAL anesthesia, general would be unnecessary.
And you want to know the best part: the total cost would be $ 100 ($ 50 each tooth after the 1^st 2). Hmm… where is this $ 585 difference coming from??? From my experience from past corrupt doctors, they like to charge for items that are already covered by insurance to get double income. And they can claim they did it based off my plan, but how did another doctor use the SAME insurance and get a different price? (See the review I gave the doctor I used on my page, I highly recommend him!).
All in all, I would not recommend this office, as they only care about the money and are willing to lie about insurance coverage to do so.

Horrible service! The manager was very rude and obnoxious. I had my daughter’s appointment canceled 3 times. Never again!

Do not go here! My son went for clean up. He hadn’t still gotten his new tooth after his baby tooth fell out. I asked doc about it taking long to come out. She took an X-​ray and said he needs surgery to cut it open to get tooth out. Had second opinion. Found that xray does show that the tooth wud b out soon. Guess what. in two weeks it was out. Meantime I got many calls frm sparkle dentistry asking if I would bring him for the surgery!
There was no need for surgery and yet they were pressuring me to agree!!!
Please stay away frm this place!

We take our son here and are very pleased with Dr Gupta. She makes him and us feel at ease and keeps us informed about our options without pushing us towards one. I plan on going to her husband Dr Arora who is a renowned oral surgeon for my dental implant. I highly recommend this practice.

Don’t use this dentist! Still uses metal poison fillings. Tried to put my 2 year ink in ER for root canal! I got a second and third opinion who both said she was crazy for suggesting it… He didn’t need one! and thank God I didn’t go through with it. Only wants your money and is not concerned with the welfare of your child. Very upsetting. Front desk staff was MUCH nicer than she was to my children. Aweful

Dr. Gupta was nice, as was the hygienist and receptionists. Saturday appointments are great.
