I truly can’t say enough great things about Dr. Israel, his assistant Lauren, and the hygienist Leah. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and genuinely cared for. The entire team creates such a calm and positive atmosphere that it actually makes going to the dentist something I look forward to! Dr. Israel is an outstanding dentist — incredibly knowledgeable, gentle, and attentive. He takes the time to explain every step of the process and makes sure you’re completely comfortable before proceeding. His professionalism and kindness really stand out. Lauren, his assistant, is wonderful — always organized, supportive, and caring. She and Dr. Israel work together so smoothly, which helps everything go efficiently and stress-free. Leah, the hygienist, is amazing at what she does. She’s so thorough but also gentle, and she offers really helpful tips without ever making you feel judged. Her friendly and calm demeanor makes cleanings a breeze. This team is everything you could ask for in dental care: skilled, compassionate, and truly dedicated to their patients. I recommend them wholeheartedly!

I have terrible dental anxiety which kept me from going to a dentist for almost 10 years. I knew I needed a lot of work done so I finally made the appointment here at Gentle Dental and I’m SO glad I did. These people are so incredibly kind and compassionate. They weren’t judgmental or pushy. They explained everything to me in detail and didn’t make me feel bad or rushed. I had cavities filled today for the first time in over 10 years by Dr. Israel and his assistant Jalyn and it was as great an experience as one can have at the dentist. They were so kind and calming, took tons of breaks and checked in. Truly could not have had a better experience. I will recommend this place and specifically Dr. Israel and Jalyn to anyone who will listen!!

My visit to Gentle Dental was great. Dr. Entezari was super nice and friendly. He patiently listened to all my concerns and explained everything in detail. I asked a lot of questions as I am an engineer and curious. He answered all those questions very patiently and clearly. He is a very smart and talented dentist. He was able to polish my veneer in few minutes and I am very happy with the results. He is very experienced and skilled. He knows what he is doing. I will need to do filling on my teeth and he kindly fit me in his schedule on time. More importantly, he is caring, kind and loves to go beyond and that makes him special. Jalyn, his assistant was super nice and caring. She patiently took the X-Ray of my teeth and was speaking with me the entire time as a great host. She even took care of a wound on my finger that was bleeding for some reason. Not a tooth! Kindness is there. The staff at the front desk are also very nice, friendly and helpful. They are professional and explain things if there are any questions or concerns pertaining to the costs and insurance. Michelle, the office manager, is very nice and professional. She patiently explained to me why the new patient fee was not covered by my insurance since Aetna covered X-Ray only once every 5 years and I had used that once before seeing Gentle Dental. In conclusion, I strongly recommend Dr. Entezari and Gentle Dental folks as they are professional, caring, nice, kind, and helpful!
A dental crown is a custom made cap placed over the visible part of a tooth. It restores the tooth’s strength, shape, and appearance while preventing further damage.
At Gentle Dental Rochester, your crown is created to match your smile for a seamless result.
Crowns protect and rebuild your tooth so you can chew and smile confidently.
At Gentle Dental Rochester, we provide several crown materials so every patient gets the right balance of strength, appearance, and comfort. Each crown type is selected based on where the tooth is located, how much pressure it handles, and your aesthetic goals.
Porcelain crowns are designed to look almost identical to natural teeth, making them a great choice for front teeth and visible areas of your smile. They offer excellent color matching and provide a smooth, attractive finish while restoring the tooth’s shape and structure.
Ceramic crowns are strong, metal free, and highly biocompatible, making them ideal for patients who prefer a more natural looking restoration. They work well for both front and back teeth because they combine durability with a clean, tooth colored appearance.
PFM crowns blend a durable metal base with a porcelain outer layer, giving you both strength and an attractive look. These crowns are especially effective for back teeth that need extra support because they can withstand strong bite forces while still looking natural.
Full metal crowns are the most durable option and are ideal for teeth that require maximum strength, such as molars. They rarely chip or break and offer long lasting protection, making them a reliable solution for heavily worn or severely damaged teeth.
Your dentist at Gentle Dental Rochester will recommend the material that best fits your tooth’s location, function, and cosmetic needs.
The dental crown process at Gentle Dental Rochester is designed to be smooth, comfortable, and personalized. Each step ensures your crown fits well, functions properly, and blends naturally with your smile.
Your visit begins with a complete evaluation of the damaged or weakened tooth. The dentist reviews your symptoms, takes necessary X-rays, and discusses the best treatment option to restore your tooth’s strength and appearance.
Once the tooth is ready for a crown, it is gently reshaped so the new crown can fit securely and comfortably. This shaping creates space for the crown to sit naturally without affecting your bite.
We take precise impressions or digital scans to create a custom crown that matches the exact shape, size, and alignment of your natural tooth. This ensures a proper fit and seamless integration with the rest of your smile.
A temporary crown is placed to protect your prepared tooth while your final crown is being made. This temporary crown allows you to eat and speak comfortably until your custom crown is ready.
Once your permanent crown arrives, it is carefully fitted and bonded to your tooth. The dentist makes final adjustments to ensure comfort, proper bite alignment, and a natural appearance, restoring both function and confidence.
We prioritize both the health and aesthetics of your smile.

Dental crown costs vary based on the material and the specific Gentle Dental location. Your dentist will provide an exact estimate after an in office exam and treatment plan.
Zirconia and metal crowns are considered the strongest options. They offer high durability and are ideal for back teeth that handle heavy chewing.
If your crown chips, schedule a dental visit as soon as possible to assess the damage. Your dentist may repair the chip or replace the crown depending on its condition.
Zirconia and porcelain fused to metal crowns offer the best durability. They last long and withstand strong bite forces.
If your crown feels loose, avoid chewing on that side and contact your dentist promptly. The dentist will re-cement or replace the crown to prevent further issues.
