First off I have to say I hate going to see a dentist , but after a few visits with Dr. Dellanzo and her very friendly staff I felt at ease.I needed extensive work done and finally after seeing a few different dentists I finally have my smile back , its been a long time since I smiled in pictures but now I can and it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be.Great job on my dentures Im very satisfied and want to say thank you for the great job they did. A+++++ overall dont hesitate go see Dr. Dellanzo she will go out of her way to help you. Elio V
I have been here a few times, and it has been an enjoyable experience each time. Dr. Dellanzo is very compassionate in every visit I have had with her, and Adam was attentive as well. If you are looking for an amazing dentist who will help you, then go here. I am glad I found them!
I went to Dr. Dellanzo for a second opinion after another dentist told me my x-rays showed that both of my front teeth would need to be extracted and implants put in. I wasnt in any pain and was told my gums and teeth were all healthy except for an infection in the bone and the two front teeth which would have to go. Dr. Dellanzo looked at the x-rays, examined the teeth, then tested the teeth and told me to come back in 6 months for a cleaning and to go home and did not charge me. I am looking forward to seeing her in six months.
I absolutely love this office. It is warm and welcoming right when you walk in. Every person in the office is beyond friendly and helpful. Dr. Dellanzo is a straight shooter and to the point when it comes to what work you need done. She was all about making sure I was comfortable and happy through my entire visit. The numbing medicine she uses is beyond amazing, Ive never had anything like it, I felt nothing. She gave me this aromatherapy oil to put on my hands for stress and anxiety, a mechanism she uses so youre not anxious during the dental procedures. Previous dentist I had, I always needed the gas to relax me, cause I would not do well with fillings, I would get anxious, so i thought this was an odd thing at first with the aromatherapy oil, but oh my goodness it worked!! I was completely content and actually was so relaxed during the 3 fillings, I was shocked how relaxed I was. I have read all the reviews prior to going to this office, the good and the bad, but I decided to make my own judgement, well Im so glad I did, because she makes unpleasant dental work, absolutely pleasant !!
Very rude. Wanted to pull all of my teeth except for the two front ones! Saw another dentist for a second opinion, and I only need my wisdom teeth removed and a root canal. She was very nasty my whole appointment and I left in tears because I already have anxiety visiting the dentist. I dont need to be talked down to. Plenty of other amazing dentists out there!
I was so nervous to get a new crown but every time I stepped in the office I was reassured by staff and Dr Dellanzo that I was is good hands. My final crown installation was complete under 20 min! Fast and placed to perfection that I’m getting consulted on the rest of my previous dental work to match Dr Dellanzo standards. My teeth look amazing and I feel great too! Thank you for your dedication and commitment to your Gifted craft of making bright smiles in the Capital District.
Need a replacement 6 part bridge for upper front, canine to canine. I researched good cosmetic dentists extensively, and found Dr. Dellanzos info. She needed to remove three bad teeth once she got the old bridge off as well as do some bone grafting and gum surgery to shore up the unevenness (which I was numb enough not to feel any of this), leaving me with the two healthy canines the new bridge will be attached to. The temporary she made me right there that day is amazing and looks great, and people cant believe this is just the temp. She is extremely meticulous in her work and I have no doubt the new permanent bridge will be perfect. She is very friendly and I really like her office. Today it was beautifully decorated for the holidays and it was a very nice touch. Im glad I found Dr. Dellanzo, and I am 100% confident I will absolutely love this new bridge, which is what people will see every day when I smile since it is up front and center, literally.UPDATE: Porcelain bridge was placed in January. It is as perfect as I imagined it would be. Fit and gum line is spot on, and teeth look 100% natural in size, shape, shade, etc. Thank you Dr. Dellanzo and Sonya too, for my perfect new teeth. The results are awesome!
The first time, dr dellanzo was decent. however, she is now nothing but plain rude!!!!!!!!! she is very unprofessional, especially with the way she talks to her patients and her staff! she is not very understanding and she is very rude. please please please save yourself the trouble and just keep searching for a new dentist. she also tried to tell me that my tooth was in pain for the last two years, how are you going to tell ME how long ive been in pain for? unbelievable. plenty of other dentists in the area that actually care about their patients and are respectful and professional.
I went to Alina’s office in pain with a very broken tooth. She was able to schedule me the next day to remove the broken tooth. She was great during the extraction as well. I also had an issue with a front tooth, and really hated to smile because of it. She was able to fix the front tooth very quickly scheduling me in again and now my teeth look and feel great! I will be bringing my kids and husband to her office as well!
Im going to start with the good things about this office before going into what went wrong.In June, I called this office because I needed a cavity filled on the lower left along my gum line and they take Medicaid. The receptionist was pleasant and helpful and able to get me in within the week. The office is very clean and modern. When I went in for my initial appointment, my wait time was minimal. The dental assistant was great and very friendly. Theyre the only office Ive seen in the area that offers a nano hydroxyapatite product.Heres where it goes wrong. I told the doctor what I originally went for and she kept pointing at two other cavities. Fair enough - those should be filled. I again mentioned the cavity on the gum line and she pointed at unrelated teeth and just nodded they would fill them when I next came in. Okay? Next she asked if I wanted a cleaning. Yes, of course. They applied numbing paste to my gums. Never in my life have I ever needed that. The doctor did the cleaning herself and it couldnt have taken more than 5 minutes. Ive also never spit out so much blood at a cleaning. Ever. I dont bleed when I floss. She diagnosed me with gingivitis and prescribed a DIY bleach solution and sent me on my way with an appointment for fillings.A couple weeks later I went back for my fillings. Again, wait time was very short. The dental assistant numbed my left side only. I asked about the other fillings and she consulted the doctor. The doctor came in later to inject the local anaesthetic and I asked about the other cavities. I also asked if there would be any impact to my gumline as I didnt know how far down the cavity went on the side. She seemed confused and didnt understand what I meant. Then she asked to see it and jabbed a probe into it. She asked if I wanted them all done today. Uh, yes? She went to inject the right side - I told her it hadnt been numbed and she said it didnt matter. I felt her put the needle in two times and on the third time she hit a nerve or something and it radiated pain along my lower front teeth. She kind of tsked and left the room. Some time later, she came in and did the fillings. She kept asking me how the bite felt. Lady, I basically cant feely entire face because I think you overdosed me. She sent the assistant away towards the end and finished the left side cavity which I originally went in for and she was finished. From the time I walked in to the office to being discharged, it was less than 45 minutes.Oh right, she also checked my gums to see if the bleach rinse was effective and declared it a success since I had no more bleeding. I hadnt been doing the rinse. Frankly I hadnt changed my brushing routine at all. BTW dont do the bleach rinse. Or if you do, you need additional dilution as her written concentration is too high. Google it.A couple weeks later I still had pain in my lower front teeth every time I opened my mouth. The two she did on the lower right side have a slight gap so food gets stuck. The one she did on the lower left was a total rush job - there was extra material and she never even polished it. I had it fixed somewhere else as I wasnt going back to this office.
This dentist is very aggressive with her staff and patients. I have had multiple appointments with her, and she has never thoroughly checked my teeth or gums, and my cleanings have been quite cursory. I left her practice, and would not recommend her practice to anyone.
Doctor Dellanzo made a potentially unpleasant experience, a total breeze. She reconstructed my whole mouth painlessly, effectively and i saved a lot of money compared to others. My picky wife was totally impressed by her work and wants her mouth done also. Only if she could manage to put a sock in it more often...
First of all, I have never seen a office so beautiful, clean and professional, Dr. Dellanzo is an amazing person and one of the best at her work and mentors, and because she has influenced me to working on my way to become a dentist, and anybody who left bad reviews is absolutely crazy and wrong because they don’t want to hear the truth which is good oral health.

2022-04-26Update :After 4 hours I posted below, I received a call from Alina threatening me to delete my review, which I am not going to. I told her I have rights to post a review based on facts. Dear Alina, I have changed from 3 stars to 1 stars. I definitely will call police if you made any contact and threatening to me again.Original post:I am not sure if we will change the office. We have been with this office since last owner totally for 9 years. Not only cleaning but also other services like crown, cavities… not much to complain. Now, the ladies doing the cleaning still do fantastic work, but sometimes a new doctor do the cleaning and he only spend 5 -10 minutes. It seems his main job is to sell more fancy products. I felt pressured when I had to say no because he expected you to say yes for everything promoted rather than needed. Is this the new practice for every office now?

2022-05-13I have never had such a rough cleaning in my life!!!!!!!!!! This guy came in and started scraping roughly in my mouth! I am 30 years old I know what a proper cleaning feels like. That was not a proper cleaning. It didn’t feel right at all!!! Usually when I went to my old dentist I would leave with a bag full of goodies. Here Alina offered me a bottle of mouth wash and I accepted it. Next thing you know the lady at the front desk told me that the mouth wash was $45 dollars. This was the only place that had an appointment available in my area and she had a lot of openings. Now I know why.

2022-06-19It is amazing place. I got my teeth pulled and they were gental, friendly, and incredibly caring. Kept asking if I was ok. The waiting room is a warm place as well. All the staff if great too. Nice and friendly. I would recommend 👌 😌 to everyone. My kids love going there too to get teeth cleaned and any fillings they need. They are definitely a family place and treat everyone that way too. They are definitely part of ours.

2022-02-05Because of Dr. Dellanzo’s empathy and professional talent my boyfriend was able to get the dental work he so desperately needed and was being denied because of insurance mistakes. She and her staff were extremely helpful in guiding us in the insurance mess we were entangled in.

2022-04-28I repeatedly told Alina and her dental hygienist that my insurance pays for 4 cleanings a year and they kept telling me that was not the case and told me to call my insurance about it. Well, if you wanted to bill my insurance 4 times a year, it was your job to call. It was not my job to figure it out. Only when I told them I am not coming back, they called the insurance and guess what, it does pay for 4 cleanings a year. They corrected their mistake and apologized so I decided to give them another chance but everytime I showed up for my cleaning appointment, a dr would clean my teeth instead of a dental hygienist who usually took time to carefully clean my teeth and not bleed me to death. I would prefer a dental hygienist who is professionally trained for this job not a dr because they are short on staff. The dr is extremely nice but the quality of the service is bad compared to other dental hygienists I have been to over the years. Overall, I do not know if other services are good because I have not used them but I will not recommend you go here for cleaning.

2020-09-16I have not been to the dentist in years, hence why I needed some extra work preformed on my teeth. I saw her star rating of all 5 stars and I selected her to perform whatever work I needed.I have so much anxiety just stepping into the dentist and smelling that dentist smell, you know what Im talking about. Well from stepping into her office i was for sure I was in the wrong office as when I stepped inside it was an office of beautiful picture, real art, and the most modern office I have ever witnessed.Upon meeting the Dr she made me feel so at ease. She was very detail oriented in letting me know what needed to be done and we came up with a treatment plan.When doing the work she is the most enjoyable women I have interacted with and really cares about all her patients ENTIRELY. Every dentist I have ever been to they say nothing the assistant does all the prep and then when the dentist comes in he does not say a word to you and has a personality of a sack of potatoes.If your looking for an A++ dentist who actuality has many holistic solutions for many different aspects with your teeth, losing weight, and is basically what is needed to make you the best and look the best with a personal touch where you feel truly cared for she is by far the dentist that you need to seek.Also being clean from narcotics I let her know that and she respected the fact that I dont use them and her work was so fast and done before I knew it that i didnt even need an advil.So if you want the best dentist that invites your family in if you want so they are aware of the plan she welcomes that. She is a new age dentist that has created a new lane of dentistry by her true care 24 hour phone number in case there are issues as well as a staff which reflects her goals values and professionalism that Dr Dellanzo projects.I went from a scared 40 old patient who hated the dentist to a man who enjoyed and looked forward to my appointments. Not to mention how effective her work is as every time I see her I can notice the work that is being completed and love her her team and look forward to my appointments.My advice if your looking for the best, call her now and stop looking around. Noone is more effective than Dr Dellanzo.

2021-11-19Ive been going here a couple years and I will not be returning. Every time I go I am met with some weird vague issue with my teeth which is never explained, the only option is usually some type of upcharge. Additionally on my last appointment, I was met with being fat shamed (I am 52 150 lbs) and told my waist size was too big, I should only be eating oatmeal, and that I look like I dont exercise. This was in response to her saying my gums were slightly inflamed. I called the office multiple times trying to get more information trying to speak with someone, I am met with no response or a response of someone will call you soon. So unprofessional and uncomfortable. Do not go here.

2020-08-24I have been a patient with this practice since day one and it has only gotten better better. I had an emergency over the weekend and was welcomed with an immediate reponse and care for my problem.This practice continues to grow on a daily basis due to the fact that Dr. Dellanzo and all the staff are highly committed to patient care. Personally I have other issues that effect my dental issues and nonone has skipped a beat in my care. I would highly recommendthis practice if your looking for a level of care which includes going to any lengths to improve your dental health
