Dent-Care Dental

Went it for a routine checkup/​cleaning and it was nothing less than an excellent experience. From the front desk staff, dental hygienist, to Dr. K everything was very comforting. I highly recommend this dentist if you’re new to the area and looking are for that new teeth guy!

A few years ago I had a dental emergency and a friend recommended this office (I live a few blocks away). I was able to make a quick queeze appointment and Dr. Volker was able to see me immediately.
Now, I see Dr. Kitson, who has taken very good care of me and I could’t be any happier (I have even fallen asleep as he’s worked on me). His assistant is wonderful too.
EVERY person in this office is super nice and always makes you feel at home, which to me is a very important part of going to any type of dentist/​doctor. So I would very highly recommend!

My favorite dentist is Dr. Volker. Unfortunately, Dent-​Care Dental no longer takes my Medicaid insurance.
I had not gone to have my teeth cleaned in many, many years. Each time I got my teeth cleaned (every 6 months) back when I lived in Astoria, my bottom incisors would hurt for days. When I got my teeth cleaned at Dent-​Care — even though it had been many years since my last cleaning — there was no pain or discomfort in my incisors!
Dr. Volker had to fill some cavities for me and he was great!
They also gave me a «goodie bag» with a toothbrush, tongue scraper, toothpaste, etc. :)

Echoing the rest of the reviews… Dr. Volker and his staff is great. Chanda (sp?), the hygienist is super sweet and did a great job cleaning my teeth and reprimanding me with straight talk at the same time. They don’t try to scare you or make you do uneccessary procedures. Dr. Volker is a local Sunnyside resident in the truest sense. Support this neighborhood dentist!

I try to make an appointment for a consultation, however this lady Kelly was very rude.
I will try tomorrow with the manager, lets see how it goes.
keep you updated

I went to see Dr. Kitson for the first time after having a dental emergency. He was able to see on the same day I called. The office is clean and inviting. The staff is both professional and pleasant. Like many people, I have avoided going to the dentist because of bad (and painful) past experiences. After going the Dent-​Care, I believe I will return to a steady 6 month schedule of dental cleanings. When I saw the Dental Hygienist, she took her time and explained all of her concerns to me. Additionally, she re-​educated me on basic dental care. Finally, Dent-​Care has the latest equipment being used. My last Dentist wouldn’t invest in current technology and I’d guess his equipment was about 40 years old. My former Dentist’s use of older technology does not give me much confidence. Not like the high level of confidence I had when I left Dr. Kitson’s office. I highly recommend their services.

Dr. Volker. Dr. Volker! !!! Best doctor, dentist, public servant ever! I have always been a huge fan so much so that my ex boyfriend would accuse me of cheating with him him hahaha! No seriously this guy knows his stuff. He uses lasers and xrays to check for cavities. He explains every detail of what is going on with your teeth. He never dismisses any of your concerns but rather corrects your statements and proceeds to teach you. Every time I leave I feel like I took a class on dentistry. Seriously I can read xrays now! Wtf! I grew up with braces and my mother still is obsessive about teeth. So I have had many dentists through the years. My teeth are straight as an arrow but Dr. Volker always notifies me of any changes in my dental health. This guy is a dental poster child. He deserves to be featured in a magazine seriously. O when I first started seeing him I moved 45 minutes away from his office so I was lazy about making my appointments. When I returned a year later he remembered me and conversations we had. It freaked me out at first but then I realized that it is such a great feeling to go to someone that actually remembers who you are and doesn’t treat you like an ATM machine. Now I don’t miss appointments because it’s like visiting an old friend and not some white coat with scalpel. Like I said he is a poster child of dentistry!

Such a great experience! Who says that after a dentist visit, right? Dr. Volker was THAT great! He was very thorough and very attentive. I haven’t been to the dentist in over 5 yrs, so I was cringing at the thought of going.
They took X rays and he went thru each one with me, explaining what I was looking at. I’ve never had a dentist do that before. There are a few potential trouble areas, but he didn’t try to push any unnecessary procedures on me.
After all was done, I got a goodie bag filled with toothpaste, toothbrush, couple of different flosses, and a tongue cleaning brush!
I highly recommend him for those who are petrified of going to the dentist.

Dr. Volker has been my dentist for a couple of years now, and I am very pleased with his services and with the staff at Dent-​Care. Dr. Volker is young (which means he is in touch with the latest technology, no offense to older dentists!), enthusiastic, and knows his stuff. And most importantly: He seems to love what he does. Give him a try if you are looking for a good dentist. And you will love his helpful staff and clean offices.

Great Dentist. The staff is really friendly. The office is very nice. I’m not afraid of going to this dentist. They are very good and patient.

Really great dentists. I’ve had such dentist-​phobia that I didn’t go to the dentist for… way too long… so I’ve had to do a complete overhaul. This place is great and if needed they refer you to great specialists. Maybe I’ve been lucky, but I would definitely suggest this place to anyone in the neighborhood looking for a dentist.
