First of, I am made to pay in advance before I even get to see the dentist, can't pass through reception unless I pay. After my consultation, exams and multiple x-rays, I'm told I'll need cleaning quarterly but also there are multiple fillings needed and crown. Linda gave me quotes for the work. I asked if they have payment plans or some form of arrangement she then YELLED at me for all to hear that I need to get better insurance. I called my insurance and they assured me that I have the best plan they have to offer. I then searched online to see what other dental plans are available. Could not find dental plans that caps over $3,000. I did get the fillings only to have one refilled because it came off after a month. Linda made sure I paid before I walked out. By year end, I received in the mail an invoice for over $900. Immediately emailed Linda inquiring, reminding her that I couldn't get past reception without paying in advance for any service. She replied apologizing claimed an oversight and now my bill is less than $30.00. Then in the new year, I was told I have some bone loss due to a bridge and it was going to cost over $$$. Dr. Co's associate was going to do the work. This associate was obnoxious and rude, yelling at me about the bone loss. In my 10, 20 years of dental visits not one dentist ever addressed bone loss or that bridges should only last 10 years. Got my bridge in the 80's. Left dentist with much disgust. How am I suppose to know I have bone loss. Dentist take x-rays every year, not once was I told there was bone loss, and to have this ahole yell at me about this. Suffice it to say, I no longer have a dentist. I desperately need to get dental work done but, after that revolting experience i just want to hurl thinking about dentist. $$ is not holding me back, it's the experience and service I received.

This place and all of the staff Ive interacted with have all been amazing. Ive been coming here for a few years now, and hate it took so long for me to remember to leave a review. When I first showed up I had terrible dental anxiety. I needed 10 fillings and a root canal. Every appointment Ive experienced care full of informed consent and true care about my comfort. And of course awesome work that has me not as afraid to hide my smile. I struggle with my mental health and have sensory issues. And I avoid stuff (sorry Linda). But theyve gone above and beyond every step of the way. Theyve been patient with me while navigating a ton of obstacles in life, handling scheduling through text. They give me an xray apron as a weighted blanket when I come in, they remind me to bring my headphones. I am truly grateful for Dr. Co and the entire team at shoreline dental. (And the cookies at checkout are always delicious)

Princeton Co is a board-certified hack. Frankly, I can't say much about Co as a dentist. I came to Shoreline Dental as a new patient because my previous dentist retired. I've worked with dentists in three States on both coasts and in both the UK and Germany. Based on my experience, I can confidently say that Princeton Co is a pretentious hack with a dental degree and a drill. My initial visit was for routine cleaning when a remarkable cavity refilling was noted on x-ray images. I expressed my preference for a root canal and crown from the onset, but the good doctor convinced me to have the molar refilled. The filling was carried out by one of his hygienists. I was asked to come in for a follow-up appointment and cleanings every three months instead of the conventional six-months visits. Subsequently, I complained about worsening tooth pain and reiterated my preference for a root canal. In four meetings, I met with Co twice, initially to make his acquaintance and on a second occasion to tell me to live with the pain until it prevents a good night's sleep! No accurate medical explanations, knowing that I had maxed out my Dental coverage, just hand waving about "saving me money" on a significant procedure. By this time, I was charged for four visits, including x-rays and a cavity filling. The weekend before Thanksgiving, intolerable tooth pain due to "irreversible pulpitis" resulted in an emergency root canal. Unsurprisingly, Co was unavailable the week of Thanksgiving. He prescribed general antibiotics and outsourced the root canal to a specialist. I learned about irreversible pulpitis for the first time from the specialist! Co routinely outsources his root canals to specialists. Because (a) he cannot be bothered to practice the routine, and (b) unlike all healthcare in America, modern dentistry is a racketeering enterprise. Based on some redeeming arguments from Dr. Patel, the root canal specialist, I regrettably went back to Co for the crown. I was scheduled ten days out and received a treatment plan for the crown procedure a day before my appointment. On two occasions, I had to ask for the treatment plan from his staff members explicitly. The treatment included two visits, estimated at $1300 for the crown and additional imaging. I am on the hook for approximately $3K for a single tooth by this time. The best part is, two hours before my appointment, the office manager at Shoreline Dental informs me that they don't offer payment installments. I've worked with dentists in several States on both coasts and in two western European countries. I have never encountered such irresponsible, inflexible, strong-arming nonsense. As I said, Princeton Co is a board-certified hack with a dentistry degree and a drill. He routinely outsources routines and hides behind a staff of women and children that do most of the heavy lifting.
