Demonteverde Nanette, DMD

I had an office visit today with Dr. Demonteverde. Her office is ran with the most skill, respect and professionalism I have ever seen. I had a cleaning by the hygenist Monica. Monica was so kind and patient. She was very knowledgeable and cared so much about her patients. I then met with Dr. Demonteverde. I found her to be very kind and knowledgeable also. She puts her patients first and foremost and demonstrates great skill in dentistry. She has a very compassionate bedside manner. Subrina her dental assistant also made sure my comfort came first. Who ever goes to the dentist and feels comfortable? My experience with their office allows me to want to take better care of my dental health, because of her team. In her office they don’t make you feel like a number, they make you feel welcomed and cared for. Jody the administrative assistant from the minute you walk through the front door she makes sure that you are welcomed and all your needs are met. Pat is also another positive team member in the office that helped me deal with my insurance company, and her patience was endless. I had a fear of dentists until I came to this office. I would recommend them to anyone who would like a positive experience going to the dentist.

Love Dr. Demonteverde she is awesome, listens, doesn’t act like she is god or yell at you about your teeth like most dentists do. She is very gentle and I’m glad she also had my daughter, Ashley, before she passed away in 2005 and she loved her too from a young age to 14 yrs old when she passed. I highly recommend her. I would give her 10 stars if I could.

I love Dr D!
I’ve been a patient for over 20 years and totally satisfied with the entire staff.
My children go here as well, it’s very kid friendly. I’ve had lots of different procedures and they’ve fit me in for appointments on short notice.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Dr D! Have been seeing her for almost 20 years and she is friendly and caring.

Dr. Demonteverde is a kind and excellent dentist. I have great respect for her and have been a patient for a number of years. I only wish she would update to digital x-​rays.

I’m writing this as a very dissatisfied patient who is currently in pain, extremely pissed off, and ready to blame my dentist for it.
my review isn’t actually on Dr. D… I was seen by her partner. Unfortunately I have to post this under Dr. D’s name because that dentist isn’t listed on Unilocal.
That dentist gave me 3 fillings — a temporary filling for a molar that she expected would need a root canal treatment (should have been a red flag already!), a permanent one for another molar on the opposite side, and the last permanent filling I’m ever going to get from her that is the cause for this review
To summarize very quickly,
Filling #1 = F for Failure.
Filling #2 = F for Failure.
Filling #3 = FFFFFF.
My story is long… it may be gross. and I’m brutally honest.
I had a hole in my tooth. Food got stuck in it. It hurt. I scheduled an appointment to see Dr. D after reading stellar reviews online. The weekend before my appointment the pain escalated, so I decided I needed to be seen sooner. Got squeezed in a day earlier… but not with Dr. D.
Not-Dr.D looked at my xrays. Said I’ll probably need a root canal, but don’t do root canals. Not-Dr.D can do a temporary filling though, and I can check back in 4 – 6 weeks. If I’m okay then, temporary filling can be made into permanent.
I got my hopes up. I got the temporary filling. Not-Dr.D closed up the hole, the pain I had before disappeared, and I didn’t have to stick a pick down my tooth to dig food out of it anymore! I was happy… for about a day. Next day I noticed a gap between my teeth that made my gums hurt. I remember thinking… this is temporary, eventually I’ll get it fixed and everything will be fine!
But of course, things are never as simple as you wish them to be.
As the pain came back, another hole opened up, this time on the opposite molar. Again, food got stuck. It hurt. I made an appointment. Second time is usually better right?
not in my case… this time, Not-Dr.D decided a permanent filling would do the trick. I was esctatic. I thought: Permanent is good! …no, permanent is not so good. Not-Dr.D’s trick made it worse than before. Every time I chewed on that side it felt my tooth was going to fall off.
One day and two half-​hearted meals later I saw the real Dr. D about it. Dr. D herself was straight with me, no monkey business… one look at my Xrays and she knew that both teeth need root canals.
that should’ve been the end of it. But my strong belief in second chances (aka stupidity) only served to dig my own grave a little deeper…
because I had gotten my «game plan» and scheduled two more appointments after my last visit, I went back this Wednesday to get a third cavity filled. I’m hurting so bad right now… I want to die. I have a HORRIBLE I can’t even think straight want to cut my jaw out kind of %”&*@!#” ache
couldn’t even sleep last night and am expecting another sleepless night tonight
most likely I’ll be needing a third root canal.
I should have been referred to an endodontist on Day 1. I really like Dr. D but she needs to reassess her partner’s professional judgment or risk losing patients she doesn’t see herself
I’m so messed up physically, emotionally, and financially now I know I’ll be losing lots of sleep over this
