My wife and I have been patients at Dr. Alina’s dental practice for the past eight years. The two of us were not very big fans of going to the dentist because of our bad past experiences. We have not had that reluctance since we found this dental practice. The entire staff has the same great qualities that Dr. Alina has: friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. As for the pain factor of the dentist visit, she is so good in preventing patient pain, that when she injects the numbing agent into your gums, before drilling, you do not feel the needle at all. At 73 years old I can safely say she is the first dentist that I have gone to that has accomplished that pain free procedure. If you get a chance ask her about her life story, it will blow you away, and you will understand why she is so self-driven. We are not family members or affiliated in any way to Dr. Alina’s dental practice.

We are extremely unhappy w DrAlina and DunesDental. She and the office was extremely pushy w our son and basically acted like a bully toward him. He had veneers fall off 3x within 4mos and they insisted it was our son’s fault and showed and took no responsibility for their inadequacies. They continued to shave down the teeth and the veneers continued to fall off within a 2/3week period and now he’s going to need a crown because of it. And then they decided that our son can no longer be a paying patient at the office. They told us not to return so DrAlina basically abandoned our son because she could not complete the work promised. Patient beware – if you don’t subside to DrAlinas demands they will abandon you as a patient

BEST DENTIST EVER! I’m nearly 69 years old and have seen a lot of dentists (since I’ve lived in 10 states and 1 other country). Dr. Cretu has been my dentist for 8 years now, and she is unequivocally the gentlest, kindest and most effective dentist I’ve ever had. Her practice is staffed with people who are of the same caliber (and are clearly happy to work there), they use the most up-to-date equipment and methods, and I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes for my appointment. There are dentists closer to where I live, but I drive out of my way to Dunes Dental.
