19 Best Dental Assistant Programs In Pittsburgh, PA (2022 Updated)

I had a great time at CHCI not only did I begin my career in dentistry I made new friends and great memories! Sunny karissa, and hailey did an amazing job always keeping school interesting and answering all of our questions! You will find help and great people to work with here not only do they teach you they guide you to finding a job and making sure it’s a great fit!Jennifer Martinez Garcia

I was hired in the middle of the pandemic to work in a dental office without any experience . I was luck enough to find CHCI . By attending the classes I was able to learn so much about dentistry and also got prepared for the RHS exam . The book provided was a huge help and all the staff and instructors were dedicated to help in any matter .Michelle Barr

Im a 2020 graduate who LOVED & misses every second my my dental assisting program! The staff was absolutely amazing & worked with you till you understood the material. I miss everyone so much & wish the class never ended! Love you all so much & hope the staff is staying well!Ciara Adams

I've been attending this school for dental assisting for about 7 months now and it's definitely grown on me. After completing four years of college at a different school, I felt dissatisfied with my major and my education because I didn't feel prepared to enter the job field at all. In contrast, IMC offers the hands on training needed to pass the certifications to ultimately pave the path for the career you signed up in the first place. Classes are taught by experienced professionals who dedicate a lot of time and energy to make sure that their students are prepared for their externship and their future job. The small class sizes enable students to have a close relationship with their teachers. IMC is the type of school where you go to learn as much as you possibly can to prepare you for a job, but it's fast-paced and requires professionalism, hard work, and motivation to get to class every day to finish the program.Jen

I been here at this school since 2019 I started out doing phlebotomy. I couldn’t proceed with that program because of a death in my family , I went back January 2nd 2020 for dental Assistant and I love it.! Although the pandemic hit us hard , I continued to push it to the limit and now I’m doing internship within a few weeks I’ll be graduating. Proud to say that I did this with a lot of stress and complications. But through it all I made it and pushed through . I love the school and staff members . Couldn’t of asked for a better team here at IMBC ! With that being said I just want to take the time out and say Thankyou all for helping me reach my goal .Niya Hicks

So far IMBC has been a perfect school for me and my everyday schedule. I am able to take my children to school, and daycare everyday, and also pick them up due to IMBC having a Mommy schedule for those with children, even those without. My instructors have been excellent so far from Mrs.Amy, Miss Simmons, and Ms.G. They all work with you when it comes to assignments, grades, and wherever you may be lacking at. Each teacher has their own unique way of teaching, which makes each term exciting to look forward to. All I can say is keep up the good work IMBC!Niashia Tirado

When I first decided I wanted to go into an dental school, I wanted to find a school that fits my needs and really grasp on the idea of dentistry and being able to work hands on.I have no history of taking any electives that related to dentistry , so I was kinda nervous to start but when I found first impressions from searching up "Ohio's best dental assisting schools", I found this school to be really convenient and quick, my classes here were filled with so much jokes and laughs , challenges that helped me become more of a confident dental assistant. One of the coolest professors/teacher I have ever had is Morgan here. She is such excellent professor, she explains topics very well and helps me out whenever I would need help. The most memorable comment I will ever remember from her saying to me on and on is "what did you do now Jackie?", then she would help me understand what I did and how I can fix my mistake . Morgan is very very patient with her students which is super great . I am glad I took this course under her class and met all these wonderful classmates who I get call friends.Jackie Mendoza

If you are at all thinking about becoming a dental assistant, then look no further! First Impressions Dental Assisting Program is absolutely awesome! You are completely set up for success with how much thought and work has been put into this program. My Instructor-Morgan is hands down the best teacher I have ever had, she has made this such a great experience with all of her knowledge, wisdom and experience in this industry. Another great perk about this program, is the smaller classroom size. It gives you the opportunity to have more “one-on-one” time with the instructor and students, and to ask any questions that you need answered. I was able to land a job as an assistant, only 6 weeks into the program. I would 10/10 recommend this program, to anyone looking to enter this field. 😃Joseph Happ

This school is awesome, i have learned a lot in the past 10 weeks. My instructor Morgan was very helpful any issues I had she was able to help me out. I feel very confident from what I learnt from the teaching at the school the learning environment at the school has prepared me for the career I have chosen. Thank you Morgan for everything. Definitely recommend this school for any aspiring dental assistant wanting to become better at their craft.Lucia Satterwhite

From the moment I walked in for a consult for my tooth problem, I felt a negative vibe. I talked to them on the phone before confirming my first appointment, asking some questions. When I got there I found out they lied, from what they told me. Then I had to wait a very long time to see the dentist after taking x-rays. The decor made me nervous, felt like I was in the middle of a forest having dental work done. I had to repeat my questions to the office person, assistant and the dentist several times, for them to give me an answer, because they mis-understood what I was asking. Although it looks clean, staff seems friendly & have state-if-the art equipment, don't be fooled. If they changed some things to my satisfaction, I would consider going back. As for now, I won't.Ren Sin

1st time patient: From the moment I walked in until I left, it was the best dental experience I’ve ever had. I have issues with anxiety about the dentist. I suggest Atlas for anyone with the same issues or just not sure where to go. Maybe you need a new dentist…. Atlas is the place!!! Clean, professional, great service, informative, and quick! I’m impressed and all the great reviews still don’t give this place enough props. This is my new place for sure! Sorry to my new dentist that I forgot her name. She was amazing!!!! ✅💯✅💯✅💯Eddie Freeman

Sara was the best dental hygienist I have had in 15 years. She was thorough, kind and explained my treatment and condition in layman’s terms. Dr. Mara is as pleasant and professional as her mom, Dr. Kathy was before her retirement. She is helpful and believable when she addresses me. She makes patients feel important, well informed and an important part of their own treatment plan. She is the best part of Atlas Dental.Lauren

I'm extremely happy with the care I've been given thus far at Omni Dental. I moved to Pittsburgh not long ago and had really bad experiences with two other dental offices in the area, then the virus lockdowns happened and I foolishly did not get my teeth checked out when I knew I was having some issues. The problem became worse and essentially culminated into a dental emergency with really severe pain. They found me an opening on the same day and Dr. Justin Hanlon clearly explained what was going on and answered all my questions. Long story short I needed a root canal and a tooth extraction (and Ill eventually get a permanent bridge). The procedures went smoothly and were essentially pain free. The doctor and assistant were both very personable and at no time did I feel judged for being an idiot and letting my tooth go bad; a mistake I will not make again. The temporary bridge fits extremely well and there is no pain even after the anesthetic wore off. I also know Dr. Hanlon did a lot of work in one appointment which means a lot to me because the past dental practice I tried would take (and charge for) many xrays and seemed to schedule multiple appointments while never being clear on what they were doing while the bill kept creeping up. At Ommi I feel like I know what is being done and what to expect going forward. The office and bathroom were also very clean and well appointed. For the time being I feel I've found a long term Dentist in the area that is skilled and trustworthy. I'm really appreciative to Dr. Hanlon and the team for all the help they've given me so far. Thank you.Paul Santella

It was far easier to get an appointment here than at any of the other highly rated dentists I was looking at in the area. They started off by giving me an appointment a month out (way better than anyone else could offer) then followed up by giving me one of the canceled slots a few days later. I got in just a week-ish after initial scheduling, which was maybe a bit lucky but nevertheless astounding after my dental search started off so poorly. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. I felt very welcome from the moment I stepped into the door. The hygienist was very patient and careful. He gave me lots of really detailed advice on how to take the absolute best care of my teeth, and the dentist was also quite friendly and took the time to address my concerns about orthodontics. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and I look forward to coming back in 6 months.Tate Mauzy

I have dentist anxiety from a bad experience when I was a child and avoid going at all costs. After having multiple bad experiences over the years, I read about this office and decided to give it a chance. After my first visit at Omni Dental in Shadyside last year, this is the only place I will go from now on. The office is beautiful and modern and all of the staff is welcoming and kind. Dr. Hanlon is the first dentist I have seen since I was younger who has not made me cry. He is very understanding and puts up with all of my questions, worries, and cavities! I have recommended him to all of my friends and coworkers ever since. He is the best!Erika Dugan

I scheduled a last minute appointment in order to address a cracked tooth. A friend recommended this office to me because they seemingly always have appointments available. Thankfully, it was simply a filling that became loose. However, they weren’t able to fix the problem same day. I felt that was odd. Every other dentist I’ve ever been to has done the work same day when there’s been a sudden issue. The vibes were very much that I was in the McDonald’s of dentist offices where no one particularly cared. It felt evident that the idea is they see as many people as possible in a day. I was quoted a price for my service including filling two other teeth. I decided to wait it out to see my preferred dentist. The price I ultimately paid to my dentist who did all the same work Aspen recommended was $50 less than what they quoted.Tiffany Ellis

I am so self conscious of my teeth, and have dentures, only ever take them out of my mouth to brush them. Haven't even had a container to put my dentures in, in over 20 years, I sleep with them in. Can't talk if they aren't in my mouth. Recently broke my bottom plate beyond repair, made an appointment at Aspen Dental for a new pair, they got me in right away less than 48 hours, got me on a treatment plan with a payment plan I can afford. I'm so grateful. Hope the process doesn't take long.TeriLynn Rishel

McKnight Road referred me to Cranberry Twp. I was so happy to get an appointment so quickly at Cranberry Twp. Aspen Dental after chipping a front tooth and McKnight telling me I would have to wait till the following week. Staff is very friendly at Cranberry. Loved the dentist I got. Discussed what we were going to do directly and to the point. Please note the 5 stars is for Cranberry office.Becky Berardi

Called on the phone and was told they took my insurance. Came in with a broken tooth looking to get it extracted as soon as possible. I know these things take time, but it’s becoming an emergency. That’s the whole reason I even scheduled the appointment in the first place. The tooth is causing reoccurring infections due to it being in a position where I can’t clean it properly but instead of scheduling me to take care of the immediate problem that could potentially kill me if left untreated, I’m getting an entire examination of all my teeth. Which is fine, but I explicitly told them I need to get this broken tooth and potentially the one next to it extracted as well. Instead, I’m told after everything that they don’t take my insurance and won’t even schedule me for anything unless I finance on a treatment plan of 11k! All this place is looking to do is rob you blind and not help whatsoever. They also told me an extraction of any kind would be a wait of month or longer. If it would save my life, maybe I’d be willing to get on a payment plan. However, there’s no way I’m agreeing to an 11,000$ treatment plan.Benjamin Loucks

Please be careful, this is what happened to me. I think I may have been robbed by the branch manager Sarah at the Monroeville location. I paid $15,000 and I received this: First: I was overcharged by $5000, Second: There is a $2500 discrepancy on my bill. I hope I'm not being robbed. Their surgeon agreed to do implant surgery 3 weeks ago. The secretary/branch manager, Sarah somehow chose not to schedule that surgery. I called to ask how to file a grievance and the secretary told me that she was the branch manager and denied that right. It's strange that Sarah is the only person they let me speak with. I'm notifying the state board and proper authorities.1989JADED

I was nervous to come to the monroeville location because of some of the bad reviews but from the time I arrived to the time I left they treated me great! I’m glad I decided to take a chance with them. I’ll be getting an extraction done in 2 weeks and I’m not nervous anymore to get work done. I’m also pregnant but they made sure they did 1 x-ray on the tooth I’m having problems with just to keep my baby safe and they made sure they covered my whole body! They got me in and out no problems! Ill write another review after the extraction.Naqua Donielle

Hmmm so I wasn’t sure of what to put down as a review, I’m a great talker but I suck at finding the right words. When I started the program I was excited to have another title under my belt, another achievement to claim. But essentially what I got from it was so much more rewarding. Holly is everything you could want in A teacher, stern but funny, a friend, a mentor… it was like sitting with my girls every Monday and Wednesday, learning something new. I appreciate the program for dealing with my crazy and helping me jump start my future. Definitely would recommend to all those looking for a Dental assisting school.Mary Shahadi

Went to LV School of Dental Assisting beginning in Feb/March of this year. I had Trena as my teacher- this school mixes fun and knowledge into one. They take all the basic knowledge of dental assisting and combine it into 12 weeks, they also help you get your 40 hour internship which helps you land a job after! Fay will help you with the financial portion of it and is super understanding and will lay out a payment plan for you if needed. Trena is also a great teacher and makes the course a lot of fun! I 100% recommend doing this school!!Callie Reaman

Awesome course! I learned so much in such a short amount of time between the workbook outlines and hands-on classes. Tara was the BEST at explaining everything and was so patient while taking the time to answer every single question I had…and I had a lot! She made us all feel very comfortable from day 1 and always encouraged us in our learning. I also met some of the kindest people during my time here- including my fellow classmates- so overall it was a really great experience!Shannon89

Let me make something very clear by saying the professors themselves are fantastic. They have never done me wrong by any means and have been so beneficial in my college education and supportive in my dream to seek education beyond CCAC. The administration at CCAC is a completely different story. I was in a grave medical situation and was not offered even a slight bit of support from the college and had to purposely fail classes. Every single appeal attempt I made was rejected except for the obvious college error. When they did eventually accept a few of my medical withdrawals after one of their directors of advisory refused to look at my appeals or my medical records. These were medical withdrawals, not normal withdrawals which is a completely different process involving my doctor. They purposely put the withdrawals on my transcript as W instead of MW so they could still claim the one thousand so dollars they medical withdrawals were supposed to forgive completely. I’m almost sure that is illegal. Secondly, I was placed in 100 level courses even though I made it extensively clear during my time with the college that I wanted to transfer to a four year university. I wasn’t too concerned at first because most universities accept 100 level classes for undistributed credit. CCAC failed to tell me that their 100 level classes do not qualify for this. I was screwed out of overall $3,500 and 15 credits (all A’s and one B by the way) I was told would transfer. I am twenty years old now standing with less credits than a first semester freshman. I urge you to consider this situation if you want to attend CCAC and I urge you to attend a four year university instead if you’re financially and academically capable. Most universities openly charge you a ridiculous amount of money upfront but CCAC chose to be sneaky about it. The American College system is already messed up and CCAC is just further aiding it by being sneaky in their financial ways.Micayla Rain

I have been a degree-seeking and non-degree student at this location of CCAC and online since 2014. Here, I received two associate's degrees, one in nursing and another in business. I have several college degrees, including from tier-1 universities, so I can compare the quality of CCAC to other schools. The quality of the students and instructors at CCAC is a mixture—some good and some bad. Generally, students and instructors at major universities are a better quality than at CCAC, but universities cost a lot more money. As a result, I take lower-level classes at CCAC and then transfer for the upper-level classes. I will continue to take classes at CCAC because their tuition is much more affordable, and they offer many convenient online classes.Tiffany Yanosky

I love CCAC, as an international student, I learned a lot here, and thanks to the mentors in the learning commons, especially Ali and Anne, under their help, I improved my writing skills. Teachers are good and nice to students. But, the advisors are not helpful enough. when I come to them, they are just interested in registering classes but not caring much whether the courses are suitable to you. and the reception in the 120 room is so impatient and always speaks with brows frown. Hope there are some survey for those people who are serving for CCAC, students' voice could be heard.Wei Yuan

EXTREMELY DEFENSIVE DENTIST! DON'T GO! Every time I've gone here I was talked over even when I was in pain. I would be sitting in the chair waiting while the dentist would be talking about his private life to the assistant, and the things shared made me very uncomfortable. Certain mistakes are understandable to a point but this place makes countless mistakes and instead of owning up to them, apologizing, or simply ignoring them, they rush to defense. Why go somewhere when your bad experience will be fully disregarded and no growth comes from it, you can tell by the replies to other complaints in the reviews! Even when a patient has a painful experience Their pain immediately goes on the back burner for this places self victimization. (In reply to response from owner) Not sure how you don't follow when the evidence isn't just in the reviews of your patients but is also found in your replies to said patients. It also shows in your oddly quick response to bad reviews. Another thing that's odd is after I pointed out the defensiveness of this practice I was asked to stop in for a chat (even though I've already attempted this and as mentioned was talked over) meanwhile in other responses, patients were simply told to find another dentist and were chewed out over sharing their experiences. Having healthy teeth is very important and not everyone can afford to go to a place that doesn't accept medicaid/medicare. Turning others away and shaming them over criticism is far from kind, considerate, or professional.nope nope

Dr. Mychak is amazing! Great staff! Fast service! The first time I saw him he wouldn't touch me due to Sky high blood pressure! My doctor gave me medicine for that and now I am good to go! I didn't know my BP was that high! I thank Dr. Mychak for discovering that! I highly recommend him! My infected tooth is long gone! 5+ stars! I went back October 11th for another tooth infection, he pulled it and filled 2 cavities, great dentistry I got my partials today and feel amazing and look better than I did a year ago; I highly recommend Dr. Mychak! THANK YOU!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Don (PghDon77)

I had my second appointment at this office to prep a tooth for a crown after receiving the root canal from Dr Craven, who was great! This time I worked with Dr Mychak. He explained the procedure and frequently checked that I was ok. His friendly disposition made me feel comfortable, as if I'd been a long time client. I'm from Penn Township and originally came here looking for a second opinion. Based on the reviews, I decided to try this office. I'm glad I didn't let the distance deter me. I appreciate everything you and your staff have done so far!Barbara Gore

Switching to this school was the best decision I've made for myself! PCI is so inviting, from the teachers you get close with, to the fun random days that make us enjoy coming to class, all while learning up close and personal with my desired career, you get the most wonderful experience. I'm aware not everything is perfect but this place really makes you feel comfortable and confident with whatever you do. I'm personally part of the Vet Tech program and would not trade my experience so far here for anything! If you're looking into being a Vet Tech, please, take it from someone who went somewhere else in the area, this is the best place for it!!! The teachers will know you in a week, and will do so much to help you, help yourself succeed!! Any problems this school has faced in the past they have really seemed to come back from and are always trying to improve! I'm grateful to everyone here and cannot wait to see where I end up!Bri

I have been attending Pittsburgh Career Institute for about 9 months now and it has been a very rewarding experience. I am enrolled in the vet tech program. From the very first day, at orientation, I felt fully welcomed and liked by the entire staff. We have an amazing group of instructors that truly care about seeing you succeed, but, you have to put the effort in. It is an extremely fast paced and overwhelming program…but if it is a career you are truly invested in, you make it work. I am always greeted by name and with a smile, no matter who the staff member might be. I’m very grateful to be getting my education here.Sydney Stiffler

I am in the dental program & it has been a great overall experience for the most part! Great staff from what I’ve experienced in my program, & great students here to make the experience enjoyable. I have learned so much in the 3 months that I’ve been here, and developed a passion I Never knew I had. Some minor inconveniences Are sudden schedule changes & no parking while they do offer a rather discounted bus pass which has been a blessing but for me this has not changed my view on the school! I would love to see this school add an efda program & I would 100% come back for that!Alyssa Narduzzi

In my experience, this is a good campus to adjust to the college environment since it is similar in size to a high school campus. But, it has very limited student events, limited in person classes, and limited specific classes that fit your need for your major. I transferred to Butler County Community College Main Campus and honestly I'm glad I did. There is just not enough students and not enough activities to really make friends and get the most out of your college experience. If there is a positive to take from this place, it is a great learning environment because there is not many people there to cause distractions or annoy you taking exams.Coleton Garbutt

North Campus (McCandless Township) REDUCE YOUR COLLEGE DEBT AS YOU GO Get a great education for way less cost. Middle States accreditation and programs designed to guarantee CCAC students junior status at a four-year colleges or universities. One of the safest colleges in Western PA. Home to CCAC's Innovation Lab for our Cybersecurity, Data Analytics and Multimedia Programming, Simulation & Gaming programs and a virtual reality (VR) lab.Ray Marks

I have visited CCAC North Campus, but I have completed only online classes, such as an accounting class. The building contains classrooms, a gym, cafeteria, tutoring, and an Innovation Lab that offers interesting programs such as Data Analytics. The tuition is the same as for other CCAC campuses, so students can save a lot of money on lower-level classes compared to a university.Tiffany Yanosky

I’m originally from Texas and kinda ended up here as a freshman on accident. All my dream schools rejected me or their financial aid was not pleasant. I have visited TONS of schools from Chicago, LA, NYC, ATL, TX + and all of them were “my dream place” it feels great now saying I go here because this place seriously is the best place in the world to me. I could NOT be happier here. An environment that cares about its students, throws challenges at you IF YOU WANT THEM and above all seriously a stunning and unique place. From the cathedral of learning, to its top notch education. Seriously this place is a hidden gem and I couldn’t be happier here. Don’t be fooled by its “public” status. Yes it is a public school but it gives other schools a run for their money at a seriously affordable price(assuming you get aid which is kinda on your part from academics). I can’t stress enough how perfect this place is to me. Even it’s imperfections like how it lacks grocery stores or sometimes lacks food or “cardiac Hill” all make really good stories and the school never stops improving. Is it prestigious? Not to the extent of other places. But will you have an awesome time AND a competent education that’s world class?? Yes! I sound like I’m advertising but I really feel that way and so do other students. BEST PLACE TO STUDY IN THE US. H2P!Antonio Ponce

I went to college here, and honestly best school ever! I have a BA in Communication, and I’m returning this year to get a Master of Health Administration. Everything is good, such as food, exercise facilities, professors, and social events. Pitt also helps you get an internship with their internship-guarantee program. If you go to Pitt you definitely need to do that! I did three internships and one research fellowships during college. The school is nationally ranked, always a top 100 university on US World News and Report (I think Pitt is #66 this year). School of Public Health (which I’m going to attend) is a top 20 public health school.MonaLisa Leung Beckford

This place is awful. Terrible learning environment, professors don’t give a damn, did not feel safe for even a second, noisy and obnoxious. After one year of attending this college and I already know I’ll never return even for a visit. Students and professors are disrespectful. Charging 35 grand a year for nothing but ridiculousness. If I could rate this 0/5 I would.Graham Hulse

Visited Dr. Miller's office yesterday as a new patient. It was a wonderful experience. I have never written a review before –but had such a good visit I wanted to comment. I was looking for a dentist's office with an excellent COVID safety protocol. I spent considerable time search online and calling dentists to ask them about their precautions. The safety protocol at Dr Miller's is outstanding. Judy at the front desk was happy to speak to me about it. I was so impressed with the protections they have in place that I drove three hours to see Dr. Miller (I also had family I could visit outside in the area). Not only did Dr. Miller provide excellent COVID protection, he also put a great deal of thought into my case. I was there to have a veneer replaced, and he took time to consider how the veneer related to all the other surrounding teeth. He made minor revisions to other teeth and the overall effect was a significant improvement. He could have tried to sell me on replacing more of my veneers, instead he was able to quickly and inexpensively and painlessly improve the veneers that I already had. A great experience and worth the trip!Kelly Naughton

I went to Dr. Miller as a new patient in early July 2020 to get my teeth cleaned and checked. The team at Dr. Miller's practice was absolutely fantastic. I had a top-notch experience there and recommend them with 5 stars. The front desk is kind, reliable and responsive to scheduling. Empathetic and thorough, Dr. Miller and his team went above and beyond to ensure I felt informed, comfortable and safe throughout my entire visit. It is abundantly clear that every member of this practice is completely dedicated to patient care and that they are extremely passionate about their work. I only wish I had found this place sooner. I will be returning for future routine cleanings/additional work.Jennifer Bone

I had the pleasure of receiving dental care from Dr. Miller when I came in concerned with the appearance of my front teeth. As a dental student, I am very particular about my dental treatment. Dr. Miller exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking any cosmetic or general dental work. Not only is he charismatic and caring, but he is also extremely knowledgeable about dentistry. Thank you to Dr. Miller and the rest of the team, I couldn’t be happier!Eunice Amoako

I went for a problematic tooth that needed an implant based on a recommendation, and I was surprised to hear that a second additional tooth of mine needed extraction and implant. That was from the lady in the coordinating office that handles agreements and billing on the work needed to be done, and can also see things in the x-rays as she mentioned to me. I requested the participation of Dr. Hart. Who also confirmed that the unexpected second tooth needed this kind of work. He included a crystal ball in his reasoning, and I was given the option to do both implants together or one after another. I've met in total with two endodontists, and two more general dentists (3/4 after my visit to Dr Hart) to confirm that second tooth is perfectly fine and no work is needed, of any kind. And that tooth was explained to be hopeless in this office, needing an implant. Beware.Zacharias Koutsokostas

I highly recommend Smiles by Hart. I am someone who has avoided the dentist in the past because of bad experiences, now I won’t go to any dentist other than Dr. Hart. Everyone in the office is friendly and professional, they provide excellent care, and there are no guilt trips for how long you haven’t been to the dentist. They understand the anxiety many people have and are compassionate and sympathetic. Linnae, the dental hygienist, and Kim, the patient coordinator were great at explaining everything and making me feel at ease. If you have anxiety or fear about visiting the dentist, you should visit Dr. Hart and his team.Robin M.

I had a fantastic experience at Smiles by Hart. I had my wisdom teeth removed and following the procedure I developed dry socket, to which I called Smiles by Hart as I am still relatively new to Pittsburgh and did not yet have a dentist. They were able to get me in the very next morning and addressed the issue I was having effectively. The team and Dr. Hart were friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The issue I had was treated with little to no discomfort while I was a patient and resolved quickly. I will be coming back to Smiles by Hart for any dental issues in the future!Emily Stoodley

Please avoid this place if you want to have surprise bills sent to you for the treatment you received. This is after being convinced that they are part of your insurance network. I ended up getting a bill of about $1650 that I had to pay out of pocket that was not at all consistent with their initial treatment plan estimate. Furthermore, there were discrepancies in their bills where they had received checks from my insurance but somehow it did not reflect in the payment they had printed on their statement. I have tried reaching them almost 5 times, left voicemails but never heard back. I simply paid the balance to stop hearing from them or getting reminders about outstanding payments. Worst mistake ever of going to them.Jaffer Ghouse

Unprofessional. They do not return phone calls or voicemails from patients or dentist offices. Referred out for Implants and the other office tried to get ahold of them over and over to be sent the xrays with no avail. I had to call multiple times to get it taken care of. Didn't send what was requested the first time either. Also, fair warning, I had my first appointment in April and they waited until June to submit it to my insurance company so now I am fighting them to pay it. I have called billing and left voicemails with no response. They can email and text me daily to tell me that I owe them money though. AVOID. They also don't provide cleanings on initial visit. I have never been to an office like that.Nikolai Olsen

Hands down the best dentist office I’ve ever been too!! All the staff are amazing, and take such good care of you. After two terrible experiences with two different dentists, I went in there with some apprehension which they immediately helped ease. I don’t mind visits to the dentist anymore thanks to all of them!daisyjames999

I had my first appointment and consult. So far this has been an excellent experience! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff and Dr. Halusic was very thorough. She took a lot of time to discuss all of my X-rays and photos. She also explained in detail what needs to happen to get my dental health where it should be. I look forward to going back for my cleaning and filling update. I am very impressed so far! •••UPDATE••• Excellent so far! All of the staff do a great job and Dr. Halusic makes you feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Babcock Dental!Holly Ross

I wanted to update my review to talk about THE BEST DENTAL CLEANING I'VE HAD IN MY 46 YEARS. She was on time, efficient, knowledgeable, and did an amazing job cleaning my teeth. I came in with some staining on my two top front teeth and was expecting to have to schedule a whitening procedure to have the staining removed, but she was able to remove the stain during my regular cleaning. She also provided me with valuable information on what I can do to prevent staining in the future! Great work!Craig Householder

Babcock dental has been amazing! I have had to go in with my 3, now 4 year old and they have been great with him. He behaves so well for them at his appointments, and when he comes to mine he loves hearing everything the hygienist and dentist are doing to my teeth and looking over their shoulder. They are so patient and kind with him that he's now decided he wants to be a dentist and we're currently at home playing with his new dentist playdough toy. Thank you so much!Vicky Gee

Hi everyone! I’ve graduated from this wonderful program in April 2022 and want to share with the experience. This is a 13 week program but during this short time you learn so much about all aspects of dentistry that you won’t believe that you actually didn’t know anything when you first started. For me it was a totally new start, I didn’t have any dental experience before the very first class. I did my externship in very respectful dental offices and I had lots of hands on practice. Every time when we get back in class you feel total support and get very helpful advices. Amanda and John are great teachers with many years of experience and they share their knowledge with their students. They are always there for you if you need more explanation and as a moral support. And even you’re not very new to the field believe there is a lot you can learn from the program. If you’ve been thinking to start new career The Cornerstone Dental Assistant Academy is the place to make your first steps to the world of dentistry.Dasha Mitcheltree

I was in the spring class of 2022! My experience was nothing short of amazing! I learned so much in my class coming from no dental background. The teachers were the most personable & down to earth! They went above and beyond to make sure we were learning accordingly. They showed us real life and made sure we were ready for the real world of dentistry. I’ll recommend this schooling to EVERYBODY! If you’re thinking of getting into dental or touching up on dental assistanting – COME TO THIS SCHOOL! Affordable, convenient & worth every bit of it!Anasia Waite

My experience at Cornerstone was exceptional. The instructors are truly invested in your education. They are energetic and engaging during class which makes the learning experience great. Smaller class sizes provided for more one on one time. I learned so much more than I expected. I am grateful to have the opportunity to attend Cornerstone and have gained the skills to further my career in dentistry. Thank you!Sarah Marie
