Universal Dental Implant Center - TO TELL THE PUBLIC HOW BAD THESE POPLE ARE

Worst Dentist in the USA. He lies, cheats, misrepresents, and steals money by overcharging.

Look how the business owner Mitchell Lynn wrote to his client 6 weeks ago, on May 1, 2024 "Price 2500. Itemized bill. 1850 implant 350 extraction 300 Bone graft"..But MF charged my wife for the same procedure $2,000 + ALSO $1,500 for a nonexistent and unnecessary denture (she already had an excellent one). SO HE STOLE FROM US $3,500..Please read dozens and dozens of complaints by his previous clients.

SEE THEM ON YELP AND OTHER WEBSITES. Ratings by clients 3 out of 5 Some are "excellent" - only because they were written by him, his family, peers, employees... He is rude, and unprofessional, runs the dentistry illegally because he is not a dentist, and dentistry owner must be a dentist by profession.

He advertises one price, and when you visit him he doubles it. He is not trustworthy a bit

(38) On Yelp Jan 26. 23 I wrote the EARNING by telling: ..This is a scam-style dental practice looking only for their interest (money) and NO regard for customers. The owner insisted on full payment upfront; charging double the advertising price; not giving the receipt, nor (as promised) a written proposal of the negotiated work. Be careful, their advertisement is only to bring you in, than to deceive and dupe you. They are liars and cheaters who charged my wife for 2 implants (no abutment, no crown - only implants) an astronomical amount of $9,000, and their new advertising says clearly the price $99 per implant. She even finished, and stayed 5 days in Hospital because of their "work". We dropped them after realizing how bad that dentistry is. Asked for the money to be returned, but the owner never bothered to do anything. More than 2 years passed, and we still didn't get any money back, so we had no choice but to sue them. You need to read over 3 dozen terrible complaints by their clients on Yelp: very bad experience...it is a scam dental place ...traumatic, nasty, unethical behaviour...they pulled scams and are crooks... The manager is a predator...and rude...staff is nasty, rude, and all lying...what ripper...horrible, most unprofessional experience...what a total bunch of assholes...implant denture - is pure crap...owner is a big loud mouth, is unethical BULLY...Mitch (the owner) is very nasty, taking advantage of low-income people He is a lier and nasty disgusting lowlife cheater and scammer...shady practice...an unscrupulous guy that is not to be trusted for any reason...the worst offender who unscrupulously succeeded to have an old man affected by initial dementia, pay thousands of $$ in advance without even contacting his family first...Office is unsanitary, looks like a clinic you'd see in Tiajuana Mexico...DO NOT GO THERE; YOU WILL BE FOOLED, LIED TO, CHEATED, AND RIPPED OFF. Go to REAL dentists, not this one. Go to No. Jersey Maxillofacial Surgery in Teaneck, NJ; or Dentist Danbe in Closter, NJ. DO NOT EVER GO TO "Universal Dental Implant Centers"...

Here are the original comments by the previous I came across on Yelp, Google, BBB, PissedCustoemr, and other websites... (I) MItch's clients... Mithelle R. 2020 ...This summer I went iintouniversal dental Fort Lee to get a free consultation to start some work that I needed done... at first everything went well, they had given me a temp bridge, made of plaster, to hold me over, which was cool becuz I thought I was gonna get a permanent one soon... but on my second visit where they where supposed to pull a tooth to start the process in my dental work... and by the way he opened a credit line and charged the card immediately without my knowledge...everything went bad... I didn't realize they would be pulling a tooth while I was up, not even in the twilight which I was scared and was causing me pain ...so I began trying to get a moment as I was starting to cry. Well, the assistant in the room didn't like that, and began treating me bad and told me to go to waiting area and then came ...and asked me to leave. Of course I was mad because I really needed work done on my teeth. And they called police on me becuz I was confused of - why I couldn't finish things which started getting worse. As the days and months passed the plaster bridge broke and every time I try to call so we can have a conversation on the work and to let them know my bridge broke they won't talk to me and said: nobody likes you here so now I'm going forward to the board of dentistry to file a suit against them honestly I really don't want to I prefer to just get the work finish as my quality of life is in the gutter. I'm embarrassed to talk; I'm so glad at work, I couldn't imagine going everyday and after all Universal Dental did charge me 4000$ for nothing. Never go to them. Yours Truly, Michelle ... (II) Mary J. 2022 Very bad experience with implants. I've had them for 3 years and continue running into issues. Implants loosen and each time I go back here I get charged an astronomical amount as if the implants weren't expensive to begin with. Please take your business elsewhere and do your research thoroughly... (III) Michelle E B. 2022 Don't go there. this is scam a dental place. They requested paid full payment at front with no receipt. Which they told us they put it on computer. We paid two teeth. Dental said two teeth can't do it in same time. We finished one tooth at last summer. We come back this summer to do second one . But they told us we didn't paid second one. We asked them to check the computer. They refused to do it. Owner is very nasty told us to get out here.. (IV) Yvonne S.2022 Don't go, your teeth will fall out! They do not screw them in, they glue them in. My supposed permanent teeth were loose day 2 and they fell out on day 6. I went back and they said we will put a stronger glue in and they would stay in. A week later they fell out, they said they did not want to permanently glue, "GLUE" them in in case I had a problem with one of the implants. I paid for two consultations and both of the clinics said it was absolutely a poor job. I will be sending them a Certified letter requesting my money back, otherwise I will be reporting them to New Jersey Board of Dentistry. It's going to cost me 14,000 to correct the problem. Managers lie... (V) Edward L. 2020 This is a scam style dental practice with no regard for customer care. They work at a very slow schedule and will pass you off from new dentist to confused new dentist. The regional phone receptionist never knows who you are, constantly treats you like a new patient, and sometimes pretends she can't find you in the system. They will blame you for double booked appointments at both locations to help confuse you even more. They offer you an enticing package deal that includes quality Zirconia crowns, then use cheap metal infused junk instead. They will insist on half payment up front , and drag you along for months with no regard for your health. Be Careful of the "Bait and Switch", and keep a journal for your court date!! .. (VI) Nelson Cabrera 2020 (Translated by Google) My wife was in that place having implants done, they told her that they would be done in six months and three years have passed, the work was not finished every time I went, the dentist had to come back, who worked very rudely. It is still the hour that they have not finished it and they do not respond for this work, I do not recommend it and be careful with them... (VII) Patricia Garcia 2020: Horrible experience!!! Beware as once you start work there you are trapped. I went there for an implant crown in March and they just placed it in May 21/2018. They did not screw the crown like they were supposed too and instead cemented it without giving me options. There is no one to complain too. When I asked to see the doctor to have him screw the crown down I was given an appointment for July...I have repeatedly asked to speak to the doctor or owner of practice and all I get are the receptionists or business managers. They are rude and don't give one a straight answer. I have requested information on where my crown was fabricated and they refuse to give me this information which I have a right to know under HIPPA This place is not run like a normal doctors office and I am so sorry I came here. I don't wish this on anyone. Update on three years later and I had to replace crown as it was not done properly. Went to a reputable dentist and what a difference in how the crown fits and looks. My experience in this place was traumatic. Supposably the expert in crowns was nasty, rude and unprofessional. Their prices are not so great either as they charged me 1500 for a implant crown that did not fit properly and they never took an x-ray and made me feel like they were doing me a favor. New dentist charged me $2000 clean office, pleasant and best part guarantee on work. He , took x rays throughout the fitting and only took 2 weeks. Probably because he used someone in area and not in China. They claim the dental lab they work with is in California but are not able to give an address. I had the misfortune to be a witness to how they run their business while they made me wait for two hours until crown expert could see me. This other dentist, not looking very professional with dirty ked slip ons, was more involved in his texting than listening to prospective client who was telling him sad story about chemo treatment that affected her teeth. He only perked up when he started calculating how much it would cost her to replace teeth and immediately ran to get one of the minions that work there to sign contract. Again, violation of Hippa, no compassion, unethical behavior and no professionalism. Worse part, they did not do examination and x rays until she signed contract and gave deposit. This place is not cheap and in the long run you will end up with more dental problems and will have to pay more money... (VIII) Guy F 2020 uploaded based on owner's response:

"I know how technology works so I doubt you know who I am beyond guessing. Regardless, the point is this office is trying to intimidate those who complain and cover itself by attacking them like calling me difficult which I have not been at all. Lets finish the job and go our separate ways. Unethical safety practices even if allowed by law. I was there recently and the owner had both of the little waiting rooms PACKED with patients and all procedure rooms occupied. One room has no windows, only central air ventilation that has been shown dangerous for spreading the virus without virus filters. The other waiting room had a window air conditioner blowing air all over. The right thing to do is what responsible practices are doing: One to two patients at a time inside the office and waiting in your car when you get there. This unfortunately is an assembly line practice. Shame on you. I am obviously not using my real name because I still have many appointments there to finish my dental work, which I now regret... (IX) R R 2019 Bad experience with dentists at this practice with major procedure over $16,000. Teeth implants were done but caused me great pain for months after. Went back a few times and just made it worse. I went to a few other dentists that advised that the implants were not done properly. The dentists at this practice refused to give me dental implants serial number, which I needed the serial number to fix the procedure with other dentist. I would not recommend this dentist... (X) Rene A 2017 Very bad experience i this place I was 1 of the first client in get implant from them 10 years ago. Last year when for denture adjustment cleaning gums and replacement of 1 screw $350. Fine no problem...last month just for adjustment of fhe caps.. HELENA SAID $500 WHAT A THIEF hkw do you justified this increase..she come with silly lies one third of the job and 70% increase THIEF people BE AWERE you can get robbed... (XI) Robert M 2016...very cheap products... (XII) Emily Gia

2016..Mitchell the owner of Universal Dental is very nasty and a thief!!! He is being reported to the better business Bureau and will steal your money!! They took $3,000 and did not provide my crowns! He is a LIAR AND A NASTY DOSGUSTING LOWLIFE CHEATR!!! They make sure you come in for your appointment to then hit you with a huge bill. And MITCHELL will tell you if you don't like it that you are STUPID and you can always leave. HE IS TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL AND A SCAMMER!!

I am one of the people they ripped me off. I am still traumatized by experience and surprised they are still open.

I was in Fort Lee last week and noticed that in the first floor of their building they have opened a plastic surgery office. Wonder if is the same sleazy owner who specializes in medical mass production and advertises in publications that cater to poor people. After my experiences with this office I have decided if I need an implant again I will go to NYU Dental clinic in NYC as they use the best implants, are reputable and not in the business of making money. Not everyone can have implants if there is a question on the integrity of one,s bone but places like this will place implants on people who the implant will not fuse due to medical reasons.

I am thinking of that poor woman with history of cancer and I wonder if by now all the implants have come out and if she is still paying for her implants.

Shame on all the dentists who work there as they have made an oath to cure and treat people. In the other hand, the owner is a sleazy businessman who takes advantage of people but is purely driven by his desire to make money.
