I loved my first experience with Hudson Valley Dental TMD & Facial Aesthetics
The atmosphere was great & the employees were extremely friendly from the second you walk in the door. They are very detail-oriented, so make sure you have your insurance info verified before your appointment day.
I had the most fabulous hygienist & my first ever teeth whitening. They sent me home with trays for my teeth whitening, also & I'm so excited to use them.
I plan to return in 6 months for my cleaning & continuing with this office; it was a great experience overall.

Dr. Leon D James DDS is a professional. Two years ago, I needed tooth extraction and implant--no pain,
no complications, nothing. He is an expert in this field and highly recommended. Took me a while to post a review, but I was recently thinking back about how terrible my cracked tooth was and how much Dr. James did for me.
He's the pro you want. "

"Best Dentist Ever!!!! He repaired my teeth and gave me a smile that I didn’t think was possible. He is really friendly and listens to my needs.
I’ve been to a lot of dentists before but this was my best experience by far!!!!
Highly recommended"
