Eileen ~ Sales Manager

I have been going to Cosmetic Dentistry Associates since I was a child. My family, my parents, my siblings, my husband, my children all come here. I am so comfortable here and I trust them for everything. When I was in school in Florida and working in Georgia, I flew back every six months for my appointments. I will never go to another dentist – Dr. Auster is never allowed to retire!

I just love going to the dentist – nobody loves going to the dentist more than I do! It has always been very comfortable and warm, like going home. People I have referred tell me they feel like they are at home on their very first visit. The office is wonderful and everyone that works there is awesome. They are very gentle, personal and caring. When I call with an emergency, they always make time for me.

Dr. Auster is brilliant. Whatever you ask him, he has the right answer. He says, “It is up to you.” But I know that whatever he thinks, that is the right answer. He always involves me in my dental health. He is the best. I recommend him to everybody.

Lauren

Thank you for such a beautiful smile in a limited amount of time. You have given me the highest level of service that I have ever experienced in dentistry.

Dr. Auster was able to significantly decrease, if not eliminate, my lifelong migraines. I feel much better now and without pain medication! My experience has been comforting and satisfying. The staff is incredibly professional but they feel like longtime friends. Thank you for such a beautiful smile!

Geralyn ~ Office Administration

I have been coming to Cosmetic Dentistry Associates for fourteen years if not longer. It is a wonderful, wonderful office. Dr. Auster took a great interest in me, my teeth and my dilemma – I had been sick as a child and given Tetracycline and my teeth were grey. I never smiled. I didn’t think I was pretty. I run the front desk in a pediatrician’s office, so I work face-to-face with people all the time. Because of this, the appearance of my smile is really important.

When I was 20, my goal was to have white teeth. So I went to a dentist for veneers and they lasted about eight to ten years. As time went on, I needed something else done. Dr. Auster and I spoke and we came up with a plan of action. He was persistent in finding something that would work for me. We decided on veneers and they are beautiful and so natural, it even took a while for my parents to notice them! The staff is caring, superb, thorough, sincere and honest. What a wonderful office! I really love them. In fact, I carry their cards and hand them out all over the place. I tell people, “You have to go!” When my boys come home from college they will be going to Dr. Auster for their dentistry too.

I was thinking about having some cosmetic work done so I went to my orthodontist and he recommended Dr. Peter Auster. I decided not have the cosmetic work done right away but I liked Cosmetic Dentistry Associates so much I stayed and now I use them for all my dentistry. They are caring, up-to-date, professional, friendly, and punctual. Everybody in the office is easy to work with. It’s a beautiful office and very comfortable. Their preventative care is great and the hygiene has helped me so much. The practice is totally state-of-the-art, up-to-date on everything and Dr. Auster is a great person. I have not met anyone on the staff that was not just totally accommodating and very friendly. They get to know you as a person – you are not just a file folder when you go in. It’s nice to know that someone really cares.

About a year ago, I decided to finally have the cosmetic work done and I am so happy that I did. I had porcelain veneers done on my top teeth. The team made sure I was really comfortable so there was no pain and no discomfort. It was wonderful! My husband comes to the practice now, my kids come and I have recommended him to lots of friends.

Luciana ~ Speech Therapist

My childhood memories of going to the dentist are of being strapped down and having my head held firmly in place while procedures where being done. Despite the unexpected pain that would occur during each session, I was told, "to stop being a baby." It was a horrifying experience and I have had dental anxiety ever since. These exact words were once said to one of my children, so I took him out of the chair and never returned.

I came to Cosmetic Dentistry Associates through my husband. I have high anxiety in the dentist's chair and it was becoming a major problem for me with other dentists that did not understand or seem to care. One day, my husband saw Dr. Tang rather than Dr. Auster and came home very excited to introduce me to her. She takes into consideration my high anxiety and fears and explains gently, everything in the procedure as it is occurring. She is gentle, caring, understanding and so knowledgeable and precise in her profession. I have no worries while in her chair or with the assistants that work closely with her.

I tend to clench my teeth, so I must wear a mouth guard while doing certain activities and while sleeping. Having a number of uncomfortable mouth guards that I never wore from other dentists, she gave it thought and devised a mouth guard so comfortable I wear it all the time.

Once while on vacation, I had a dental emergency that required immediate attention. Very frightened to see anyone other than her, I called her immediately and she calmly talked me through the emergency and left me with all her numbers if I needed her through the night. Trusting only Dr. Tang, I left my vacation and returned home on the first flight in the morning. Immediately upon my arrival, Dr. Tang met me at the office for this emergency during her off hours.

From my heart, I can honestly say, with no reservation, that I would highly recommend Dr. Tang and everyone associated with this practice, to anyone looking for the best care while in a dental chair. I am so grateful and thankful after each visit for their genuine kindness and patience. I just love them.

Eddie ~ Real Estate Broker

Cosmetic Dentistry Associates changed my life. Self-esteem is pivotal for me. How do you put a value on it? To get yourself-esteem back and feel good about yourself is like having a new you.

I had a problem with my tooth and I always wanted some cosmetic work done to have it repaired. In my profession, I am often in the public eye, and I work closely face-to-face with high profile affluent individuals. A friend of mine had her teeth done by Dr. Auster. She referred me and I was comfortable from the minute I walked in. I am not a big fan of needles. However, I don’t think I ever felt one injection from Dr. Tang.

I had veneers placed on the front and now that my smile has been fixed, I certainly smile more. I don’t cover my smile with my hand – to be honest, I am learning how to smile! To not be self-conscious or concerned about my smile is life changing! After everything, she has done for me, I will continue to go to her for as long as she is in practice. Just look at my outcome – who could question the quality of her work? Dr. Tang did a phenomenal job, the office is super-friendly – everybody here is just fantastic. I guess you might say they are changing lives one tooth at a time.

Joyce ~ Retired ~ Registered Nurse

I grew up in the West Indies, where, instead of treatment, we had extractions. Even for simple decay, one would have an extraction instead of a filling. Not surprising, I have had a fear about even the idea of dentistry. Because of my dental history, I had my four front teeth removed with only a small amount of numbing. Very little pain was felt.

In contrast, I never feel afraid with Dr. Auster. He makes sure you have everything to make you comfortable. I have even fallen asleep in the chair! Because of my background as a nurse, I have always questioned and challenged Dr. Auster and each time he answers carefully and offers alternatives.

The dental team is great. Coming for a dental visit is like going home. You are greeted as an individual. You always feel very warm and are treated as if you are the only one there. All of my children came to Dr. Auster from the time they were babies – my daughter even brings her children to him now! I can’t say it enough: The comfort level, the expertise, the relaxation, the time you are allowed, are all reasons to go to Dr. Auster and stay with Dr. Auster.

Charleen

I have been coming to Cosmetic Dentistry Associates since I was a freshman in college. They are such a fabulous group – they feel like friends as well as dentists. In fact, my daughter moved to California two years ago and she will not get a new dentist there. She flies in just so she can go to Dr. Auster!

I have had veneers and he just did a bridge for me – everything I have had done has been excellent. He is a real perfectionist and makes sure that it looks just right. He always takes his time and educates you along the way. He even welcomes calls with questions between appointments.

I trust Cosmetic Dentistry Associates because I grew up with this practice and in part because of the treatment they offer – they talk to you; and are always so compassionate. You are treated as a person, not just a patient.

Brian ~ Real Estate Developer

I was seeing another dentist but I didn’t feel confident with him. I saw Dr. Peter Auster’s ad in the River Town Magazine and it caught my eye. I wanted to get a second opinion and I really liked Dr. Auster. I trusted him from the moment I met him.

I have been in the dentist’s chair a lot over the course of my life. I had braces when I was younger and they did a very bad job – pulled four of my teeth – then my bite was off. My teeth were dull, the color was bad, I had caps on many of my teeth and they were failing. Now, thanks to Dr. Auster, my teeth are more consistent and I am more comfortable. I feel more confident and my teeth look natural.

The team is wonderful and they make you feel right at home. I have recommended them to several people. In fact, I brought my wife here. Though I see Dr. Auster, I knew that Dr. Tang would be the dentist for her. My wife has such high anxiety and Dr. Tang makes her feel calmer than any other dentist.

Ronni ~ Opera Singer

I came to Dr. Auster because I had a lot of problems with my teeth. I had a gap in the front, discoloration and some ridges and indentations. I didn’t like the way I looked when I smiled. It seemed that no matter how much I cleaned and brushed my teeth, they didn’t look nice. I came from another dentist that I thought was just tremendous but I was surprised at how modern the office was at Cosmetic Dentistry Associates, especially the digital imaging that allows me to see every small detail of every tooth in my mouth. Dr. Auster has all the latest technology, a great personality and best of all, my procedures never hurt. There is no pain. I came to him for cosmetic dentistry but I was so impressed that I have all my dentistry done there now.

I am a classical singer and my smile is very important to me. I am also a voice teacher and my smile helps me connect with my students. I smile bigger, I am less self conscious and I feel much more confident. He is just the best. I can’t say enough good things about him.

Joel

I was never happy with my smile. My teeth were ok but not the way I wanted them. Loretta, the hygienist knew this and she asked me why I didn’t talk to Dr. Auster about veneers. When I finally did, he told me all about the procedure, and the next thing I knew, I was getting fitted for veneers!

Everything went very smoothly and I am more than satisfied. The team is first class. If you really want a first-rate, professional job done, this is the place to go. They are very caring and the level of customer service is excellent.

Lynda ~ Teacher

I work in education developing curriculum and modeling best practices in the field of education for teachers. I have been a patient at Cosmetic Dental Associates for a long time – over thirty years – and have had a lot of work done on my teeth and gums. Most people have a fear of the dentist. I don’t because I have always had a great experience here. Through the years the thing that has impressed me the most is that they are always updating their practice with everything that is new and current in the field of dentistry. They attend to workshops and conferences and really bring back techniques that are very cutting-edge.

When I met Dr. Auster, he very gently guided me toward taking better care of my teeth. My gums were not healthy and my caps were getting yellow – something I had not even realized. Once my smile was finished, my teeth and gums looked amazing. I had so many questions, so many fears but they held my hand. They showed me models of teeth and showed me many pictures. They took a great amount of time with me every step of the way in the process. They did everything to help me get as healthy as possible. Now I look at people who are my age, or younger – I look at their teeth – and I think, “Thank God I have had this done!”

I tell people that if there is anything you want to change about yourself, your teeth are very important. You may not be a typically beautiful person but if you have a beautiful smile, it makes people notice. They notice you because of your smile!

Kimberly ~ Teacher

When I was twelve, I had a big space between my teeth – twelve-year-old girls with a space between their teeth look pretty awkward. It was wide enough that I could put a straw between my teeth to take a drink! I had the bonding done and it was such a transformation, but over time it turned yellow. I had to have it redone for my wedding and as time passed the bonding started getting yellow again. I became very self-conscious about the way I looked. I started to have a tendency to not smile and sometimes, I talked covering my mouth a little bit.

My sister introduced me to Cosmetic Dentistry Associates by introducing me to Dr. Tang. After a consultation, I was completely on board with having my teeth touched up with veneers. It has been a great experience. I was extremely comfortable during the entire procedure. They talked me through everything. Dr. Tang shows you what you will look like, provides a blanket, and asks if you want to watch something on television. She is also extremely meticulous and she scrutinized every detail of the procedure to make sure that my teeth would be absolutely beautiful, perfect and natural. She definitely goes the extra mile for her patients, and the whole team is extremely professional. They were wonderful. Over time I started bringing my children, and now almost the whole family goes! My sister-in-law, my brother-in-law, my in-laws all love Dr. Tang. I would recommend her to anybody. People tell me what perfect teeth I have now. It has really changed my life.

Kai ~ Medical Student

My mom works at Cosmetic Dentistry Associates and has been there most of her dental assisting career, so I have been coming here since I was a child. I feel as if I have been welcomed as a family member. They are very friendly, the doctors are very humorous, and it is just a very good-natured atmosphere. I have gone for all my basic dentistry and I have also done at-home whitening.

My teeth were a mess and I had orthodontics to fix them. Cosmetic Dentistry Associates really helped me through that process, monitoring my oral health. When the braces came off, they checked to make sure everything was straight and correct.

The office facilities are awesome – when they moved they really updated everything and I think that shows concern for the patient. Dr Auster is so skilled that I completely trust his judgment. I love him. I recommended that my girlfriend come here with me. Now we drive all the way from Philadelphia and it is absolutely worth it!
