After working with Dr. Tognotti for several years as a Dental Hygienist, I was so impressed by his perfectionism and gentle approach to his patients. My husband and I remain in his practice and my kids and grandkids are patients as well.

I've been going to Dr. Tognotti for a couple years now and have been very pleased with him, his dental office technology and the staff. Recently, I had some dental work done and I'm even more pleased. He is a perfectionist and did a great job explaining the procedure. Very comforting and professional. He solved teeth sensitivity issues my previous dentist couldn't and fixed a discolored tooth. Changed my life!

I've been coming here since I grew out of the Snoopy dentist, and my parents have been coming here for decades. We love this dentist, and for good reason. The entire staff here are kind, generous with their time, and extremely competent.This place just screams efficiency and professionalism. Dr. Tognotti takes his time with patients and makes sure to explain what decisions he makes regarding fillings and other alterations. He has a clear rapport with his staff, which enables clear and excellent communication and the ability therefore to meet patients' needs.Patient care is a priority here.I forget sometimes how amazing it feels to go to the dentist for a cleaning and not leave with bleeding gums or severe pain. In spite of a thorough cleaning, I always emerge from the office feeling refreshed rather than agonized.They also don't try to sell you on surgery or unnecessary extras, which is a huge relief.This place is about as awesome as a dentist's office can get. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

This review is long overdue. I have been going to Dr. Tognotti's office for about five years now and I have no plans to go anywhere else--ever.Long story short, I went several years without dental insurance and my dental health was a bit of a train wreck. Within a two year period, Dr. Tognotti and his staff had me in good health with a minimum of pain and suffering. I've had some complex dental procedures over the years, but never have I had such a competent professional work on my teeth. It's amazing the LACK of pain I feel when I leave his office. And he is very good at putting me at ease when I'm less than enthusiastic about any given procedure.And speaking of his office, the support staff are amazing as well. I feel bad for not remembering all of their names, but Sandy in particular is just a joy to talk to. It's like speaking to a favorite aunt every time she calls to remind me of an appointment. She bends over backwards to help me with scheduling and billing issues, and on top of it all she's just plain sweet. And the same goes for the entire staff. I can't say enough good about the people in that office.I used to dread going to the dentist office, no two ways about it. Thanks to Dr. Tognotti and his staff it's now no big deal. Thanks!

Doctor Tognotti is an excellent and thorough dentist who cares about what he does and has a professional yet comforting manner. He is more than competent and completely assured. I switched to Dr T from my old dentist after gaining the distinct impression that I was being over-sold by the hygienists on unnecessary procedures.  Dr Tognotti takes the time to explain options honestly and do the job right when it's time to proceed (and not before.)A great office, nice people, and an excellent dentist.

I was referred to Dr. Tognotti through a friend after moving to the area, and I have to say that I am a very happy patient! He has fixed several fillings for me, and takes extra care and time to make sure that it looks just right. He's extremely thorough, and always makes sure you're comfortable. I used to hate going to the dentist, but now I always make sure that I am up-to-date with my appointments. Dr. Tognotti is not only an amazing dentist, but he's also friendly and professional. I would recommend Dr. Tognotti a thousand times over if you're looking for a dentist who truly cares about his patients and also does amazing dental work!

It seems strange to Yelp about a medical professional, but Dr. Tognotti is top-notch.  I'm one of those folks that had less-than-favorable experiences with dentists while young and then put off having work done later on.  By the time I needed dental care, there was, understandably, a lot of work to be done.Dr. Tognotti put to rest all of my irrational misgivings about dental care, and I have to say I now enjoy--actually enjoy--dental visits.He is awesome: professional and friendly and able to do his work with the minimum of discomfort.  What prompted me to write this review is the fact that he came into the office from home this afternoon after the office had closed for the day, to repair my wife's crown.  In addition to being a more-than-competent dentist, he's a great guy.

Dr. Tognotti is my dentist and I've found him and his office staff to be highly professional and caring.  He has all the latest equipment;  really knows his stuff. My Mother in law just moved nearby and I referred her to him - she absolutely loves him.  He did some work on her front teeth that is simply amazing.  Beautiful result and very natural looking.We highly recommend him.

Dr T is the best dentist I have been to.  I have many friends who are in the dental field and I would recommend him first.  He is a quality dentist.

Not sure why my review is being filtered.  Nonetheless, I came back to add to my review because I am so pleased with the job Dr.T did on removing my wisdom tooth last week.  I only ever developed the one wisdom tooth, and it has only recently been giving me problems.  I had developed a cavity on the backside of the tooth that caused me pain.  Dr. T suggested removing the tooth, since I didn't really need it, and it would likely continue to develop problems.  Now, the truth is, I'm a big baby when it comes to having these kinds of procedures done, but I saw the wisdom (no pun intended) in having the tooth simply removed, so I decided to go for it.  When I was in the chair, I was obviously nervous, but Dr. T put me at ease, and after I was numbed up, he had the tooth out in just a few minutes.  What a piece of cake!  I don't know what I was so worried about.  The recovery has been almost painless, too.  Thanks, again, Dr. T!
