Finest Dental Care

I have been going to Dr. Belenkiy since I was in my teenage years. He also does a fine job with cleaning my teeth. Not to mention my whole family receives services from him. On year I had serious pains and he suggested I get my wisdom tooth pulled ASAP (the source of my pain). I scheduled an appointment with them 2 wks later. I arrived there and the office was packed. I waited over 3 hours and was never called. I left miserably.
My follow up appointment with Dr. B I told him about the situation and he literally same day called the dentist I visited, scheduled my appointment and had me in there within that week. Just spectacular service every time. I will go to him for the rest of my.

Very happy with Dr. Sergey Belenkey for my regular cleanings. One time I was out of town and needed a refill on a prescription for canker sore medicine; I called Dr. Belenkey and he was extremely helpful and called my prescription into an out-​of-​state pharmacy right away. He really came through for me.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Izabella Belenkiy for a few years and am very happy with the quality of care I’ve received from her. Prior to seeing her, I actually didn’t see a dentist for 5 years, and my anxiety about going to the dentist played a pretty big role in that. So basically I’m a huge baby. I’ve had to get some kind of painful procedures done (seriously, kids, don’t go 5 years without seeing a dentist and while you’re at it don’t wait till your late 20’s to start flossing), and she is just so, so nice and gentle about everything.

I went to Dr. Belenkiy a few years ago and I was told that I had four cavities that needed to be filled. That was kind of shocking to me, because I’ve only had a few cavities in my life, and I found it hard to believe that I had so many. My dental insurance isn’t great, so I would have had to pay for the fillings out of pocket. I decided to go to another dentist to see if they said I had any cavities — and, four years later, my new dentist has still NEVER said anything to me about these so-​called cavities. Interesting! My husband stupidly kept going to this dentist and we recently had to pay a HUGE bill for a service I’m not even sure he needed. We’re done with this place.

Dr. Sergey Belenkiy is outstanding – I had only very good experiences with him and with the technicians at Finest Dental over the past few years. The only reason I’m changing dentists is that I’ve moved 2000 miles, and that makes for a pretty long trip to the dentist. :)

I just had the first half of a root canal performed today (it’s going to happen in 2 visits). I’ve only had Dr. Izabella Belenkiy, but her caring demeanor is what makes me keep coming back here, even though I hate dentists. My mouth is SUPER-​SENSITIVE, and I had some pretty deep cavities. but whenever you tell her to stop, she will. One of my cavities was so deep that the first time I went in, they couldn’t do the procedure because I wouldn’t allow her to get into the tooth there was so much sensitivity.
She aborted that procedure (left me with a temporary filling), and the next time, she said «OK, we’re going to try this differently this time since you’re so sensitive» and the procedure was completed without pain of any kind during or after.
Today, she started a root canal, which will be completed next time. Again, there was some extreme sensitivity, but this time she was like «I’m going to give you a few minutes, that’s the only way we’re going to get this done». Whatever she did before stepping out of the room for about 10 minutes helped immensely! Afterwards, she asked if there was any pain while she tried some things, when I said no, she got right to work. Again, aside from the initial thinking she was trying to kill me, no pain during or after. :)
What got me started on this whole course of treatment was a dental emergency — I had SEVERE pain in a tooth (turned out that a wisdom tooth needed to be extracted, and she needed to send me elsewhere to have that done). She saw me, a patient that she had never seen before, on an hour’s notice and referred me to an oral surgeon based on the X-​rays that she took. Great customer service! I’ve been going back every week or two since for various procedures.

I am very disappointed with my experience at Finest Dental Care. Dr. Sergey Belenkiy was nice enough and his receptionist is very sweet. But the quality of service I received is sub-​par at best. I had a cleaning and a filling done at their office earlier this year. The cleaning went fine, but replacing a twelve year old filling that had worn down proved to be a complete disaster. To make a long and painful story short, in an effort to redo my filling Dr. Belenkiy drilled way too deep, exposed a nerve, and placed a new filling right on top of it. After the filling, I couldn’t put any pressure on the tooth he had filled, so I went back to him a couple weeks later complaining of pain. During that visit he took X-​rays and said that it all looked fine. I told him that he must’ve hit a nerve because I shouldn’t be feeling this much pain, to which he defensively retorted «if I had hit a nerve, I would’ve seen it during the procedure.» Then he gave me some sensodyne and a referral to get a root canal, «just in case the sensodyne didn’t work.» I didn’t use his referral, but instead went to another, better dentist to get a second opinion. My new dentist took some X-​rays to see what was going on and confirmed that the filling Dr. Belenkiy had done was sitting directly on top of my nerve. After removing the filling, my new dentist saw that the nerve was irritated and inflamed, so I did end up having to get a root canal.
I’m really angry that I wasted so much time and money at Finest Dental Care. Dr. Belnkiy wasn’t overtly mean or jerky, but he seemed too proud to admit he had made a mistake and clearly took advantage of my inability to read X-​rays. Totally unethical.

Love going here. All of the employees and doctors are super friendly. My only complaint is that every time I go (once a year), they take x-​rays. I’m not a dental professional, so I’m assuming they need these for their records. Just kind of tedious.

Dr. Sergey is a skilled dentist, but I am not happy about he push me having unnecessary work done and spend extra $ 400 and the time just so he can make more money. I know the work he did on my teeth was unnecessary, because I went to see other dentists and they all said the same thing. I really have problem with a Dr. who is lack of professional ethics. Hence one star for him.

I’ve been going to Dr. Sergey Belenkiy for about five years now. He’s the best. Highly recommend. The dental hygienist is very nice too, very gentle. And the receptionist is so sweet. I really like this practice.

I have been going to Dr. Belinksy (Sergey) for 2 yrs now and I’m completely satisfied with his care. He is very knowledgeable in dentistry and is very friendly, easy going, yet professional. I actually enjoy being a patient there, as going to the dentist can be a very taxing, worrisome experience. But Dr. Belinsky’s personality puts you at ease. His wife is also very friendly. And the receptionist is warm, welcoming and very professional.

I wish I hadn’t relied on Unilocal reviews before listing this place as my primary dental provider. I had to wait almost two months to show up on their roster (dental insurance only lasts for 7 months), and once I did show up, they informed me that the dental hygenist only comes in once a week, a day which happens to be really inconvenient for me, and that they wouldn’t be able to make an appointment for me for another month. Also, serious difficulties understanding the accent of the receptionist on multiple occasions.
I’m currently trying to get a refund on my dental insurance so I can just do a visit elsewhere for out of pocket. What a waste.

I love Dr Belenky. I have been going to her for years and she treats me like family. She is very caring and never tries to give extra services she knows I can’t afford. As a matter of fact, she helps me save money on dental care by always giving me options. So far, she has never steered me wrong. The only slight problem I have is sometimes I have to wait 15 or 20 minutes, but I guess that’s normal. She seems to really know her stuff and really, really cares about her patients. I highly recommend her.

Preface: Finest Dental Care is the office of Sergey Belenkiy and Izabella Belenkiy. There are separate Unilocal pages for each of them, but I wanted to comment on the office as a whole.
I have dental insurance with Aetna DMO which requires me to choose a Primary Care Dentist (PCD), so based on some internet research I chose Finest Dental Care. After all the insurance bureaucracy was taken care of, I made an appointment and got Izabella. She was very good: friendly and professional. She sat down with me at the beginning and asked me some questions, then came back after my X-​rays and cleaning to give my mouth a very thorough examination. I appreciated that she didn’t try to upsell me on any special procedures like whitening or veneers. I didn’t have any problems, so I can’t comment on the quality of any serious procedures.
The appointment overall was fast and efficient. They took more X-​rays than other dentists I’ve had and the hygienists did a decent job cleaning my teeth. My only complaint about the cleaning was that they used the rotary tool + paste polish method rather than the newer prophy-​jet spray method, which I prefer. The waiting room was pretty depressing, but the dental exam rooms themselves were fine. Overall, it’s not a cutting edge spa-​like environment, just basic, efficient dental care.
