I’m writing this review in the honor of talented and magnificent Dr. Nikitaev!
Today I came to see him as an emergency because my front veneer got cracked and broken in half. I urgently needed a temporary veneer or crown, and Dr. Nikitaev was able to sculpt my temporary veneer right on the spot, in 15 min, and made it look like an actual ceramic veneer. The color matched my other veneer teeth perfectly.
I was beyond impressed, happy and greatful. What a talented doctor, beautiful human being and a true artist. Thank you so much, dear Dr. Nikitaev!
I’ve been going to this dental clinic for a few years now. Dr. Wang is the BEST periodontist in the world, who works there. He’s done a lot of outstanding work for my root canals, bone graft and implants, – all pain free, quick and efficient. The BEST DENTISTS on the Planet! I’m so impressed with the professionalism and expertise of everyone there. God Bless you, 209 Dental clinic!
