This team is so talented and amazing. I am truly wowed. I’ve had a lot of dental work done in my time, and this is by far the best. They recently replaced a bridge and it came out amazing. Not only did they map out the entire process, but they produced an amazing replacement bridge, which right now feels like more of an anti-aging solution! I want to smile genuinely again, and I feel younger! And now I can. Highly personable, And great leadership. This place is led by a team pros. Highly recommended. ~ JAM

I had dental implant work done as a referral with Dr. Elfar, and I couldn’t be happier. Matching my tooth enamel perfectly was a journey, but the attention to detail from Dr. Elfar and the team was outstanding. Every step of the process, they were supportive and meticulous. My teeth look absolutely amazing, and I’m extremely happy with the work. I truly enjoyed the office’s attention to detail, and I would certainly recommend them

I was literally saved by this dental practice! I don’t understand what happened exactly at my last dentist but I decided to get a second opinion from genuine smiles and I was saved thousands of dollars in expenses! I’ll be forever grateful. I also want to commend doctor Elfa and the rest of the staff, Peter and chioma. I don’t know exactly what chiomas designation is but she evidently does more than she earns, lol. In all if you ever need a second opinion stop by at genuine smiles before you believe anything dentists tell you these days.
There’s a reason they are always busy and yet everyone should experience this dentist office.

Excellent service. Very friendly and accommodating staff for my cleaning and I left a 5 star review at first however after getting my first root canal I am never returning to Dr Mina again. I hope to God that Dr Mina removed my infection and that it’s not spreading to my other teeth it’s been 2 weeks and my gums my jaw and 4 of my other bottom teeth are all hurting now . I wasn’t prescribed any antibiotics for my alleged tooth infection. I had a filling that kept falling out. Dr Mina recommended a root canal. It was more painful than getting my 4 wisdom teeth pulled by another Dr who hardly numbed my teeth. Taking Tylenol is not working . I asked him to inject my gums slowly so that it would not hurt. He did not listen or care that he was extremely rough and made my mouth hurt when it wasn’t even hurting until he started drilling into my mouth. I believe the other reviewers who said that he destroyed their teeth. I surely hope he is not the best that this practice has to offer. I am willing to pay out of pocket to get someone who at least explains what they are doing and doesn’t have me screaming in agony . I’m extremely enraged right now because of this pain. I never in my 43 years of life experienced this much pain. I called today and thank goodness that they are prescribing me antibiotics and allowing another dentist to finish the job tomorrow. I just don’t recommend him. Every one else was excellent in the office and the dental hygienist are all very good.
