Having ""shopped around"" for a dentist for four years since moving to the city, I finally found Dental Salon last year and have been a patient there ever since.
On one end of the spectrum was a dentist who painfully scraped away for hours at my teeth with devices that looked to be from early last century and charged be $500 on top of my insurance. On the other end is the dentist who cleaned my teeth for all of two minutes before declaring me good to go, and then didn't charge me my co-pay on my insurance. Dental Salon is the high point in the middle. While it's a bit more expensive than some other dentists I've seen, I have found it to be completely worth every extra penny.
The office is set up like a spa, which might matter to some people, but isn't really a big deal to me. Doesn't hurt, but isn't a big factor for me. What really matters is that my hygienists have always been fabulous - really thorough cleanings using the pressure washer and lots of information about areas that I'm not brushing as well in, what kind of toothbrush they recommend, etc. The dentists are also highly skilled and friendly and not at all weird. Dr. Liphoff did my veneers and I get compliments on them all the time (from people who knew my teeth before - anyone who didn't can't tell they're not my original teeth!) I absolutely adore my teeth now and find myself smiling all the time. I've also seen Dr. Palella who was also incredibly nice and spent several minutes talking to me about my teeth - not the usual ""no cavities"" and run I've gotten from the actual dentist most places.
So all in all, I completely and highly recommend Dental Salon!
Pros: Really thorough cleanings, state of the art equipment
Cons: A little more expensive than some other dentists I've seen
