I cannot say enough about Dr Medlenov and staff Marie, Gabrielle and Joy. I was very anxious going there in the beginning but, they are amazing at calming my nerves and very sensitive to my needs. They are not pushy with dental work you may need, everything is about your dental comfort. I always look forward to seeing them! If you are nervous or anxious about a dental visit this is your place. You will be totally satisfied.

I have been going to Century Dental for about 20 years. They are wonderful, knowledegable and caring. I'm a scardy cat and they are wonderful making you visit painless. Many dentist have come and gone from the practice, and while they were great, the new dentists are amazing. I love going to an all female group of professionals, who make you feel confident that you matter.

Ok, so I can’t say enough about DR.M but just go to her if it’s your first, second or third opinion! I had my back tooth chip and was told I need a cap or an inlay (whatever). After several attempts are filling it and the filling out. I was told getting a cap would be normal since it’s the last back tooth. Dr.M agreed with the possibility of needing a cap. HOWEVER, she reconstructed that tooth. It’s been over a month and that filling has stayed. Now, was it work to do?! YES, and SHE DID IT! Making for another HAPPY CUSTOMER! I will drive from Neptune again to see her!!
That should be enough said! Make your appointment!!

I am going back on Monday for a cleaning and an evaluation of my oral health.

I highly recommend this practice!!!!

Jane Schoenfeld

I have severe anxiety when it comes to the dentist. I’ve had more than one bad experience with unprofessional dentists with no empathy. Century Dental East is a completely different experience. From the front of the house staff to the dentists themselves. Everyone went out of their way to listen with the intent to understand and then form a plan that was best for me. They continuously checked on me during the procedure and treated me with dignity. I highly recommend this practice to anyone, especially those with anxiety like mine.
