Empire Dental Group of New Jersey: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Excellent office Doctor and staff I recommend
Marisol it was a pleasure seeing you, thank you for your review !
Fantastic experience: I was referred to Dr. Alla by a friend. After receiving a horrible implant with my old dentist I was so happy to find Dr. Alla. She listened to my story of receiving bad dental care from several places.. So far I have had two dental implants and was very happy with Dr. Ref the oral surgeon that Dr. Alla recommended.. I also had a crown replaced recently and Dr. Alla made sure it was a perfect fit!! I keep up with dental cleanings with Sletvana, who is an expert in dental hygiene. I have my teeth cleaned at least 3 times a year to help my teeth and gums remain healthy!!! I recommend regular cleaning.. it’s so important! Also, the receptionists are always professional and helpful with scheduling. I highly recommend Empire Dental for all your dental needs!!! Thank you Empire Dental! Suzanne Paolello Old Bridge, NJ
It's such a great feeling to know that we left you with such positive experience! We are committed to providing high-quality care to our patients. It is always a pleasure seeing you and thank you for sharing!
Fantastic experience: Great staff and dental hygienist
Thank you so much for your review, it is always a pleasure seeing you.
Positive experience: It's weird that the dentist didn't look at my teeth during my first appointment there and only meets with me unless requested. Ive never had a hygienist tell me I need a root canal, that should come from the dentist. However, everyone is helpful, prompt and cares about their patients. Really takes the time to explain and educate. Great cleanings!
Thank you for your review. Our dentist carefully reviews X-rays, chart notes, and clinical findings for all patients on a daily basis. X-rays provide valuable diagnostic information that is often not visible during a routine visual examination and play an important role in maintaining oral health.
Our hygienist has been a valued member of our team for more than 20 years and is specially trained to perform a preliminary evaluation during your hygiene visit. If treatment needs are identified, Dr. Alla Pavlushkin will perform a comprehensive examination to confirm the findings, discuss the diagnosis, and treatment plan tailored to the patient's needs.
We are committed to providing thorough, high-quality dental care and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. Thank you for sharing your feedback.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to seeing Dr. Alla for a few years, and every single time has been truly great. All of the staff are welcoming, kind & helpful.

Over time, I’ve had multiple services done—from routine cleanings to more complex procedures—and every experience has been outstanding. Dr. Pavlushkina is incredibly knowledgeable and detail-oriented. She always takes the time to explain everything clearly and makes sure I’m comfortable throughout each visit. Her staff is equally amazing—professional and friendly!

It was a pleasure seeing you Cynthia, thank you for your review.
Fantastic experience: Best Botox experience ever. Explained everything very thoroughly and made me postpone my appointments when I was on antibiotics or going to be in the sun so that I can get the best of the money I spent. Love them!
It's such a great feeling to know that we left you with such positive experience Theresa. We are committed to providing high-quality care to our patients. It is always a pleasure seeing you and thank you for sharing!
Fantastic experience: The front desk Ana and Dr Alla, Took so much time with me I’ve never seen anything like it. They postpone my treatment because I was on antibiotics for several weeks and then you Botox would not have the same effect. They postpone my treatment till after I return from Jamaica because the sunshine would’ve ruined the Botox. They also warned me about taking blood thinners. They really want me to get the most out of the money I spending with them for both tax injections. That already are starting to look awesome.!! Thank you so much, empire, dental, and staff!!!!!
Teri is was a pleasure to see you, and thank you for your kind words. Our team is committed to providing high-quality patient care , and we’re thrilled to hear that we made a good impression on you.

Thank you for taking a moment to share your experience. We value your time and always strive to provide fast and efficient service. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.
Fantastic experience: Empire Dental has provided my wife and I with excellent care for more than three years. From dental cleaning services (the Hygienist is so thorough and gentle) to implants (Dr. Alla had to complete a five unit appliance that another dentist started and botched up). Dr. Alla had to research the manufacturer, rebuild the entire unit and make everything work and look perfect. Empire charges reasonable rates and provides top notch care and service. Robert E. DiMilia
It is always a pleasure seeing you and your wife ! Thank so much for your kind words.

.
Fantastic experience: Dr Alla is kind,caring and gentle....I trust her!
It is always a pleasure seeing you Tina! Thank you for your review.
Negative experience: The doctor is good at what she does. But they tried to rip me off. I was infuriated last week when they told me i needed over $8000 of work (I KNOW I dont need that much work). I have good insurance and she's in my plan. They went through the itemized work "needed", explaining how my insurance covers everything at some percentage. Then told me I have pay upfront because it "takes too long" for them to get the payment. I Just moved to NJ a year ago. I used this same insurance in PA with an Endodontist, Oral Surgeon & General dentist for 5 years and never had this experience. Then the receptionist was snippy as I was leaving because I didn't want to pay the $150 charge they deemed appropriate for trying to financially rape me! I was there for 15 mins. Do NOT go there unless you want to be taken advantage of.
We always take patient concerns seriously. When Dr. Pavlushkin discusses treatment with her patients, she shares her knowledge and experience. When discussing treatment, she explains their procedures in detail, so they understand the full scope of their treatment, and the cost involved. Patients have the choice to wait for insurance approvals, or to start treatment immediately which would require payment up front.
Although you have insurance that covers preventive/basic services, there are still limitation on insurance plans, with saying this, insurances will only pay up to the annual maximum allowance, and in addition your plans major services will have a copayment. We always suggest that our patients call their insurance carrier to discuss insurance coverage and questions they might have. We are disappointed you feel you had a negative experience that was not our intention, perhaps another office might suit your needs.
Fantastic experience: I was given precise, accurate information. Everyone was very professional and sincerely interested in making you comfortable. Love this place!!
It was a pleasure meeting you Pat ! Thank you for your review, we hope to see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: As always a painless and pleasant dental experience. Alla and her staff are professional and perfect at their craft.

Positive experience: Empire Dental Group @ 2515 County Road / Route 516. Old Bridge NJ 08857 2027 March 22 Friday phone ☎️call - called today to schedule an appointment with the hygienist for routine cleaning. Was told that they are NO longer participating in United Healthcare Community Plan. I feel obliged to make this public in this review so Members of the this plan do NOT have to waste their time scheduling an appointment with Empire Dental Group. This is a major setback for members like myself whenever a dental practice stops participating in the United Healthcare Community Plan. I was willing to pay out of pocket for cleaning and X-rays but was told that the earliest available appointment is April 30. Also 1:00 PM is NOT good to schedule an appointment - the hygienist takes her lunch break at 1 PM. I hope this is helpful to other members who use the United Healthcare Community Plan at this particular dental practice at this location. 2022 Oct.11 - Perfect 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. All went well today. Nice and pleasant. Good reliable dental practice, nice presentable clean facility, and nice dependable staff. My hygienist is nice, sweet, kind, likeable, dependable, attentive, understanding, and very patient. I have had only positive dental visits so far. Nothing to complain about. Also, love the bathroom - very clean and easily accessible.
Lourdes, we take patient concerns seriously, unfortunately we no longer participate with United Healthcare Community Plan and we are always forthcoming with our patients. We understand that our practice may not be suit your needs and we wish you the very best.
Positive experience: Doctor is great ,assistant are great hygienist the best, but the two up front checking you in are horrible.
Our doctor and staff are dedicated to all our patients, delivering outstanding care which is our top priority. We take patient concerns seriously, and are disappointed you feel otherwise.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Alla is wonderful , very knowledgeable and great bed side manner .Helps put me at ease - and Alyssa too- as wonderful as she is so is the rest of the staff.

We're happy to know that we've exceeded your expectations and look forward to continuing to do so! Thank you for your review
Fantastic experience: Dr. Alla Pavlushkin has worked wonders when it came to me. I have had sever top jaw crowding my entire life and I’ve been to multiple orthodontics. Many have advised that I should see an oral surgeon to have my jaw realigned because of my bite. Some also requested that I should have spacers on the top roof of my jaw, and even requested some removal of more teeth. I was sooo against it all. I even went to see a few Invisalign orthodontist prior to Dr. Alla P. Which Some took my money, then ended up refunding it back to me because they said my case was too complicated. I really wanted Invisalign because I felt the shame of wearing regular metal braces as an adult. The last orthodontic prior to Dr. Alla gave me false hope…. Once he return my money I pretty much gave up and then two months later my husband went in for a cleaning with Dr Alla P. He advised me that they do Invisalign and that I should go check them out. I told him no at first, because I was sick of being turned away or being refunded my money, but I went in for cleaning instead. I immediately felt so comfortable with Dr allla and her incredible staff. She talked me into giving it one more try because she assured me that she can in fact help me. At first I was skeptical, but decided hey why not and I have to say it has changed my life. It is the best decision I have made. I never thought my teeth will be as straight as they are now in one year. It’s been a miracle with me. I’m still receiving treatment, but they are very straight already. I used to look like a vampire and now I have actual straight teeth. Thank you Dr Pavlushkin and staff. I Definitely recommend them as they not only confident in what they do, but are absolutely the best at what they.
It's such a great feeling to know that we left you with such positive experience Stephanie ! We are committed to providing high-quality care to our patients. It is always a pleasure seeing you and thank you for sharing!

Alicia is a sweetheart and Anna and Helene so personable. I can't say enough great things about this practice and every single person who works there. You are in great hands here. Appointment times are accurate and I never have to wait. The place is spotless and very comfortable. So glad I found them!

Fantastic experience: I was very fortunate to come to Dr. Pavlushkin’s office as she is extremely knowledgeable, professional and personal. I always had a hard time going to dentists, but Dr. Pavlushkin made my experience very pleasant and painless. After being to numerous dentists I can certainly say, that she is one of the best ones out there! I would recommend her 100%!!! ~Marina
Thank you for posting your review. Our team is committed to providing high-quality patient care , and we’re thrilled to hear that we made a good impression on you.
Fantastic experience: I’m new at this office. I’m also terrified of the dentist. As a result of the fear, I have lost some teeth in the back and closer to my smile totaling 3. Dr, P is very friendly and comforting. I started with a filling or two this past year. The more I go, the friendlier I’ve gotten with all the ladies there. We’re building a nice relationship. I have a difficult work schedule and I know I’m a pain lol but they are so accommodating without getting annoyed lol After making myself comfortable here I decided to choose them to help me with my implants. I’m tired of being embarrassed of my smile. I sware I almost cancelled my appointment to start my implants last week but I did it! I started it! And even the surgeon was awesome! Once I seen his half sleeve of tattoos, I knew I was in the right hands! Overall, I love it at empire. They are taking very good care of me. I’m actually looking forward to going to my appointments now just to say hi and talk to everyone ❤️
It's such a great feeling to know that we left you with such a remarkable impression. We're happy to see that you are getting comfortable at your visits, and it is always a pleasure seeing you ! Thank you for sharing your experience !

Fantastic experience: Dr. Pavlushkin is great! My mother and I have had facial (nonsurgical) procedures such as Botox, fillers and threads with Dr. P. We highly recommend her. She listens to what your needs are and if she feels she can provide you with a better result, she will explain in detail. She’s friendly, personable, gentle and often asks how you feel throughout the procedure. Her prices are reasonable as well and she has an eye for achieving the results you want. We’ve been going to her for a few years now and have referred many family and friends to her whom were all satisfied. -Leticia and Maria (:

Negative experience: This review is for Empire Dental Group in Old Bridge specifically to the female hygienist (I forgot her name) and Dr. Alla Pavlushkin. Both treated me like I was dumb and don’t understand what they’re saying. I may have black hair and brown skin and an Asian but I speak English fluently and I regularly go to a dentist so I do understand what they were saying, it’s just that I have questions and they answer like I don’t know anything, like they’re talking to a child impatiently. Then Dr. P quoted me for a single tooth gap that she suggested to have a bridge and she said $4k and my reaction was a surprise friendly chuckle and she got all upset and said “why are you laughing? There’s nothing funny! It’s a lot of work so it’s expensive”. Very rude!! Never coming back to this place!
Our doctor and staff are dedicated to giving outstanding patient care. When Dr. Pavlushkin discusses treatment with her patients, she takes it very seriously, as well as she shares her knowledge and experience. When discussing treatment, she takes her time and she explains their procedures in detail, so they understand the full scope of their treatment, as well as the cost involved. Our patients are appreciative of the doctors forthcoming of information.
It is your personal perception of the interaction you had with our office, we are disappointed you feel you had a negative experience. Another office might better suit your needs, best of luck.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Alla is the best dentist ever, very attentive and respectful! Hygenist Sveta is great! Flawless experience! My case was very difficult but Dr. Alla really took her time to explain every detail to me which made the process so much easier! Thank you Empire Dental!
Thank you Tetyana, it is always a pleasure seeing you.
Negative experience: I can’t even begin to describe the horrific experience my husband and I had there over the past few years. So many wasted allotments for them to not do anything at all, so many teeth ripped out unnecessarily. Such a lack of informed consent, my husband showed up thinking he was getting an impression and showed up to an oral surgeon with an iv bag with no warning. Staff is incredibly rude, appointments way too far out and be prepared to wait once you’re in there. I was charged $800 out of pocket and was told it would take over a year to get it back, I never saw the credit come back to my account. I could go on and on. What a nightmare experience of a dentist overall, do yourself a solid and stay away!
Our doctor and staff are dedicated to giving outstanding patient care and we always take patient concerns seriously. We are sorry you feel you had a negative experience in our office. Another office might better suit your needs, best of luck to you.
Fantastic experience: Great experience in a very professional medical office. Staff are welcoming and efficient and Dr was informative and professional. Very clear difference being in a medical practice not a cosmetic technician's care. Would highly recommend.
Thank you Lindsy, for your review. We are so happy you had a great experience, and we hope to see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: From Angela and Brian, We love this Dental office. I myself (Angela) have had wonderful experiences here. not only is the staff extremely knowledgable, but they always are so helpful and have the best bedside manner. From the start trying to help schedule an appointment time that works for you, to any rush appts. They are the best! The Doc is awesome too! She is very experienced and puts any of my worries to rest (i had a couple root canals and implant done recently). Her bedside manner is exceptional as well. Youre not just another patient rushed out, she even gave me tips to help pody train my son LOL. Always a nice visit! Angela Fertitta :)
Thank you Angela and Brian for your kind words, it is always a pleasure seeing you !
Fantastic experience: I’ve had a few cosmetic procedures here. Each time with great results . I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to get an appointment before my birthday & the staff somehow got me in . I was thrilled & pleased with the accommodation. Dr. Pavlushkin is amazing at what she does . Always just enough & wont push for more . I always feel at ease & beautiful when leaving . Happy to have this office so close to home.
Thank you Abigail ! We hope to see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: Dr Alla Pavlushkin was amazing, she explained what she was doing, made me feel comfortable and at ease as I hate needles and listened to what I wanted. The office is clean and the staff are very friendly. I am so happy with the result. I definitely recommend Thank you
Thank you so much for your kind words Laura.
Negative experience: Very disappointed since I checked the ratings before I chose to go there. I purchased 1.5 ccradiesse. Initially The area treated looked great. However the Dr put an anesthetic in with the radiesse. Within two days it looked as though I didn’t have any thing done. Maybe because I purchased from Groupon. I’ll never go there again. It’s unfortunate because if they would have done a good job and we’re trustworthy I definitely would have gone back.
Update: Thank you for coming back and addressing your concerns with the doctor.
We always take patient concerns seriously. Ellen, we are sorry you are disappointed in the outcome of your procedure. Remember the filler injection results are individual and link to age and amount we use . Please call the office to schedule a follow up appointment with the doctor, we are always available to discuss any other of your questions or concerns.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Alla is very sweet and knowledgeable! She explained what the process and what would work best for me. Love my results and look forward to returning.
Thank you Marissa, it was a pleasure meeting you !

Fantastic experience: What a great experience I had. I went there for botox treatment. Front desk ,nurses and doctor are all kind and pleasant. Explain everything and doing very professional job. What more could we ask. They are good all the way around. I loved my experience with this good people.
Thank you Grace for your review. We hope to see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: I did not go for a dental issue but if how she handled the 2 cosmetic procedures I did have done then you are in great hands. In my case, she combined the 2 separate procedures to maximize the effect. It worked perfectly and I could not be happier. Thank you!
Thank you Meta, it was a pleasure meeting you. We hope to see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: Alla is the most incredible dentist I’ve ever had. I moved to NJ from NY so the change of dentist also needed to happen but Alla made me feel very comfortable right away. I did a treatment of Invisalign and it was a great experience. After that, I underwent a dental cosmetic procedure and Alla was so detail oriented and careful, she listened to my concerns and also advised on the best approach for long term beautiful teeth. I’m incredibly happy with my experience with Alla and her team, they are amazing
It is always a pleasure seeing you Diandra, thank you for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: I had a broken tooth that became infected and was causing excruciating pain. I had called a few other dentists looking to have it fixed but nobody would squeeze me into their schedule. I called Empire dental and she got me in the same day. Some dentists will only examine the problem and have you come back to fix it , Dr Alla diagnosed the problem and performed a root canal on the same day. All of the staff were great to deal with. The receptionist was great, she fully explained everything and made sure I knew what to do when I got home. Very thankful I found this place.
Thank you Sean for your review. We are happy you had a positive experience with us and hope to see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and great environment ! I have never seen such a great dentist ! Dr.Alla is an amazing dentist ! No questions asked ! She knows what she is doing and the staff is so friendly !
Fantastic experience: The best dentist!!!!! great job, fast and the office is extremely clean - everyone is so friendly!
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough about Dr Pavlushkin and staff! They are warm and caring and they truly care about their patients! From walking in the front door to walking out, my experience was nothing but wonderful!
Thank you Laura for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: I’m someone who hasn’t been to the dentist in almost 6 years due to my fear and phobia of dentists. As a kid I watched that horror film “The Dentist” which no one should watch. But as I’ve gotten older I understand how important dental health is important and I told myself I would start the new year facing my fears. I signed up for dental insurance and searched for dentists in my network that worked with patients like me. I am the type of patient that shakes, cries and feels sensitive to all the noise, tugs and pulls. But let me tell you that this place is AMAZING! I made sure to tell the receptionist about all of this and when I came in for my appointment they checked me in—very professional and sweet! They shared words of encouragement and support. I appreciated their pep talk to help ease my anxieties. The hygienist who did my cleaning, Svetlana, was gentle, supportive and encouraging. She didn’t rush me at all and took things slow. She let me use my noise-cancelling earphones (which I highly recommend) to fade into the music, which really helped! Then I saw Dr. Pavlushkin who really educated me about my teeth grinding and the effects on my jaw which has been very tight. We devised a plan together that worked for my timing and budget and I’m happy to say I’m not scared to return, but excited to finally feel like I’m on my way to own my dental health journey with the support of an awesome team! Thank you all so much! If you’re looking for a great dentist to help you through your fears, professional, caring and educational, look no further than Empire Dental in Old Bridge!
It was a pleasure meeting you Omaris and your husband ! Thank you for your kind words, we all so happy you had such a positive experience and we look forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: COVID precautions in place, staff is warm and welcoming, Dr. Pavlushkin is kind, considerate and current on her scope of practice. I will definitely be returning.
Thank you for your review Jessica, it was nice seeing you.
Negative experience: Stay away unless you want to leave with an asymmetric face with lumps at weird places. The worst job I’ve ever received.
