Michael T. Lavelle III DDS PC - Yorkville (NY)

2 /5 Kendall OConnor: I’m writing this review so other parents are aware of our situation. We have been attending this practice since 2018. We go every 6 months for our usual cleaning polishing and exam. When we were there In September 2022. we were told our sons teeth were perfect the baby teeth are starting to get wiggly and everything was looking great. He is know 7 years old. On December 20th 2022 he started to complain of tooth pain. We brought him into the office. While there he seemed blown away. He said he has two deformed teeth the same on both sides and said because of it it chipped the tooth. He filled it temporarily and sent us to another dentist that specializes in children (kids teeth only). On December 28th 2022. He woke up with his whole face and eye swollen from an abscess tooth. At that point we went over to kids teeth only and by the next afternoon. My son needed 3 teeth pulled and 4 crowns put on. Turns out he actually has 8 cavity’s in total. He had to have emergency surgery an over night stay at the hospital and iv antibiotics to kill the infection. There ended up being no deformity just collapsed rotting baby teeth. He stated he didn’t see because there was never any x rays done and the cavity’s were in between the teeth. But most all cavity’s are usual in between the teeth so I’m very confused.Turns out he doesn’t have a proper x- ray machine for children under the age of 7 or At least that’s what I’m being told. All of this could and should have been prevented. Im really not this type of person to write reviews but please parents do your research and go to a dentist who specializes in children teeth.

5 /5 Karli Treen: I had an amazing experience! He was very informative, outgoing and explained the process of what had to be done. He was gentle while looking at my teeth and throughout the process of fixing the tooth that I chipped. His receptionist was very sweet and helpful with any questions I had while doing the paperwork. Overall it was a great experience. You could tell that he loved and enjoyed being there to help you as a patient.

5 /5 Denise Deliberto: Dr. Lavelle and Cheryl are amazing. I have had a severe dental anxiety ever since I got locked jaw 20 years ago but going to Dr. Lavelles office has changed that for me. He is wonderful and I absolutely adore. Cheryl, Im so grateful to have found them.

5 /5 Kristin N: Dr. Lavelle has been my dentist for over 12 years now. He was recommended to me by a co-worker who was a patient of his because he accepted our dental insurance. I am glad she recommended him and despite him no longer participating with my dental insurance, I am still a patient there. Their prices are still within the limits of my dental insurance and I only end up having to pay around $10 a year out of pocket. Dr. Lavelle is professional yet laid back and makes the visits feel comfortable, like you are visiting a friend. He has only recommended dental work that is truly needed. Cheryl is great and Teri is the best hygienist. I also managed to convince my husband who was extremely apprehensive about dentists in general to go there. He loves going to Dr. Lavelles office and would probably go more often if he had his say.
