Overall

I made an appointment for a consultation with Dentist Precilyn B Silvestre and I am warning others this is a scam, and they are very rude and unprofessional. The dentist seemed nice and did take time during the consult for my case (which I paid for) but she wasn't confident in adding two more crowns or veneers to match my existing teeth. She should have just been honest and said she wasn't confident in doing the case, which would have been fine. However, she chose to handle it much differently. Reading some of these other reviews I must agree with the other negative reviews, the whole experience seemed very amateur. Upon leaving the receptionist informed me that for crowns it would be additional money for the 'type' even though their special included crowns. So I agreed and left. A few hours later I received a call from the same receptionist, saying that the extra work in trying to match the tooth would be thousands of dollars more, and even then that the dentist didn't know if she could match it. Obviously, dentist Silvestre had the receptionist call me to more the double to the price quote given because she was not confident she could do the work. I could not believe how unprofessional the receptionist was. She was rude, interrupted me, didn't listen to anything I had to say, and was had a very unprofessional attitude. I could not believe this could be the same receptionist earlier that seemed pleasant and happily took my money for the consult. I was appalled. Save your time, your money, and protect your teeth, and find a reputable dentist. Also, their office in Newark is in a seedy neighborhood, in a run down building. The room had broken blinds, and did not seem very clean.
