Livingston Advanced Dentistry

One of the best dental visits I’ve ever had.
Once you enter the office, which is so nice, clean and inviting, the staff are SUPER nice. They are happy and cheerful, making a never-​happy– dental appointment much easier to deal with! Registration was a breeze for my info and I didn’t have to wait long (from my appointment time) to be seen at all.
Come into the exam room which has a tv, which is great when they make you wait for little procedures — good for occupying your mind, and I meet Dr. Navi. Very pleasant, nice and super professional, I definitely felt at ease with my experience and how everything went.
All in all, I felt I had such a great experience. It’s just a bother that I didn’t come here earlier or live a good distance away. Otherwise, don’t hesitate to come here for a dental appointment!

Dr. Navi and his staff are extremely comforting, accommodating, and professional. From the moment I called the office, I felt at ease because of the welcoming voices of the front office staff. I had not been to the dentist in soooo long because I hated going to the dentist… until now. Dr. Navi and his staff go the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable, informed, and satisfied. Each and every person in the office are extremely personable and I never have to wait long. I feel relaxed when I go for a visit and Dr. Navi and his staff go above and beyond to make sure you have a great visit. The first time I went there, I was so upset and in so much pain, and they called me the next day to see how I was feeling. Thank you soooo much to Dr. Navi and the wonderful ladies of the office!

Dr. Navi and his staff are exceptional and I can’t begin to thank them enough! During the weekend I bit into a chicken wing and my front tooth (had a root canal done years ago in Philadelphia) cracked and of course I had work on Monday. I called Dr. Navi and instead of making me miss work on Monday, he opened his office for me on Sunday! I don’t know any dentist (he even managed to call in a dental assistant to help out with the procedure!) out there that would drop everything they are doing to help a patient as he did. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring, personable and professional dentist and staff. I should also add that I recently got married and you can’t even tell I have a crown in the pictures, so my wife is also very appreciative of Dr. Navi and his work!
Dr. Navi and his staff also makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed that I actually don’t mind going to the dentist, which is a very odd thing to say! He’s very funny and makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. Also, he actually cares and spends more than 2 minutes in the room with his patients. I’ve been to plenty of dentists where I see the dental assistant for 28 out of 30 minutes and don’t even remember what the dentist looks like! Every time I visit, Dr. Navi comes in to welcome me, makes sure I’m being taken care of and most importantly doesn’t seem like he’s in a rush to complete the procedure and move on to the next patient.
On a side note, I don’t think it’s fair that «JJ O.» is blaming a dentist on the issues caused by our terrible insurance companies here in the United States. I’ve always had insurance issues every where I go and it’s always because of the INSURANCE COMPANIES nickle and dime’ng you for every penny!
I highly recommend Dr. Navi and his staff to anyone out there looking for a dentist that they can rely on.

Friendly staff but fishy about billing. Dr. Navi broke the news to me that my overlay «wasn’t covered.»
When I told him it was, he gave me a condescending lecture about how nothing is free… people think that insurance means all their procedures are covered but insurance just doesn’t work that way… that’s just the way it is… BUT he’d give me a price break (that was still hundreds of dollars over the amount he was SUPPOSED to charge).
When I went home and sent the office proof of my coverage, they were like «Oh. Huh. Let us check this out and we’ll get back to you.»
But they didn’t; I had to call THEM five days later and found out that yes, the procedure was covered — but they wouldn’t do it! Just a more expensive one. (It was because of their «commitment to providing the best for their patients,» the secretary said. LOL.)
If I hadn’t done my research and just trusted the dentist at his word, I’d have wound up paying hundreds out of pocket for a covered procedure. And after that he had the nerve to insist on tacking on $$ for a more expensive, uncovered procedure.
The right thing to do would have been to waive the measly $ 82 and keep me (and my three kids) coming back. I guess they didn’t want my business.
Edit — Eric Y, I’m 53 and have been around the block a few times. Rest assured that the only «nickel and diming» in this scenario was done by the dentist personally.

The worst. I went for two cavities and he drilled the sides of my teeth so there spaces between the two teeth. I’m constantly needing to floss to ensure my teeth are clean. I think he did it on purpose so it is more likely to get infected furthered. It still hurts 6 months later. My sister went once while in town and when she went back to her own dentist, he said a cavity was filled that was not actually a cavity. He is not to be trusted.

I have been to more than one dentist in my life so I know from what I speak. I was previously using another Livingston dentist (female) on South Livingston Avenue. Dr Navi is so exceptionally talented and so consoling (when there are issues) and so warm.
He got my teeth is really good shape. I had to have a couple of procedures done along the way and I can say that he so so reassuring all along the way, I hate dentists but this guy can almost change that feeling.
If you need a good dentist, you must try Dr Navi, end of discussion.
