It was time to take the plunge. I had to undergo a full reconstructive surgery to begin with and was recommended to go see Dr. Stephen Bowne in Manhattan from a trusted friend. Boy, were they right. Quality over Quantity - worth every penny. If you are looking for a kind, confident expert w/ state-of-the-art tech, an in-house cosmetic dental lab, and impeccable staff –THIS IS YOUR GUY. I must admit, after searching google I was skeptical because of a review on YELP I found mentioning a DR BOWNE horror story. Never fear, Goog... read more

All I can say is that Dr. Bowne is a dentist that needs to be avoided at all costs. He performed unnecessary and expensive procedures on me which he never informed about before doing them. This doctor told me that I needed to have all of my old metal fillings replaced with the white fillings. It sounded ok to me, even though I have not had any problems with my teeth. I asked him if white fillings cost more than any other type of filling and he said no. I came back to his office and without xraying my teeth beforehand, "Dr." ... read more

I came to Dr. Bowne for a general checkup and was told I needed all of my fillings replaced. As I was leaving the office, Dr. Bowne casually asked me if using a 'white material' was ok with me. I said sure - as long as it was covered by insurance. He said it was. When I came back for my appointment he proceeded to drill down my two back molars for what I eventually learned were to be fitted with custom porcelian onlays. He never got my consent for this cosmetic procedure, never took xrays and had to use such force pulling ou... read more

I came in as a new patient for a dental check up and was told that I needed to have all of my fillings replaced because they were old. He told me that he'd like to replace the fillings with a new white material. I asked him if this was covered by insurance and he told me it was. I came back to have my lower two molar fillings replaced first, and he proceeded - without taking any xrays - to very forcibly yank out my fillings. He then drilled down my molars to fit me for porcelain onlays. I had NO idea what he was doing and he... read more

For some things, he is absolutely phenomenal. He does gold fillings to perfection and without pain. Other dentists "Ooh and ahh" with admiration over a gold filling he gave me. He can fix a chip in a front tooth so that no one will ever be able to tell it was ever chipped. And he does this only by filling in the gap--not even by covering the whole tooth. I only had one less than perfect experience with him, and who knows, maybe the same thing would have happened with any dentist. He put a porcelain onlay on one of my molars,... read more

A very skilled dentist. He can diagnose a problem and fix it quickly. But on the negative side, he seems rushed and doesn't really listen to the patient. There are sometimes other factors he should know about. I had problems with the most recent repair work on my teeth. It wasn't because he couldn't handle it. It was because he didn't listen and went ahead and did a procedure he should not have done. I am looking for a new dentist.

Very pleasant, laid back. Came highly recommended by an academic dentist that I respect. He had to correct work done by another dentist and save several teeth that were in various states of erosion. I wish it cost less, but the work was great.
