Smiles By Rizzo
Dental implants are an advanced alternative to replacing lost teeth with dentures or bridges.

Staff is courteous and professional. The hygienist that was covering during my appointment (Lynne) made sure I was comfortable throughout my cleansing continuously asking me if I was okay which put me at ease.

Honestly, the best dental office in the area. I have been to a number of dentists in Bergen County and this office is just AMAZING! Everybody is so nice and makes you feel super comfortable. My 5 year old loves it there too…I’m so happy I found them.

I just had a cavity filled by Dr. Herila. She was wonderful!! Although I am very afraid of dentists, she kept me calm, was very patient and listened to all my concerns. I mentioned that I never get numb and she offered to try a different Novocaine, which worked like a charm. The whole experience was very positive and pain-free! :)

Suppose to be an emergency dentist. Called Saturday night and Dr himself called me a Sunday and told me to call the office on Monday and he will squeeze me in. Called the office and was told no can do. Earliest is Friday. If it's an emergency how do you think I can wait until Friday.

About a year I and my wife came to doctor Rizzo t to get a PROFESSIONAL HELP because of the problem with abrasion of the enamel. What we got after his service:  original problem never went away, my wife had incorrectly installed crown with the gap between the tooth and a crown that may be a reason for infection, shortened tooth, undermined faith in dentists and moral humiliation. After that crown fell off, and he had to write a complaint to dental commission to get our money back for his unprofessional services. He never admitted his mistake, he never wanted to listen a second opinion, he never

So far the BEST out there! I wish I could say I don't have a basis for comparison, been to too many Dentists to count. Dr. Rizzo is the best combo of technology, compassion! I am a complicated patient. I will always be grateful to Dr. Atlas (when I need anesthesia - he is there for me). I travel some out of my area however, it's good to know I'm finally in the best hands... it's a difficult road through trial & error!!

Excellent job. Doctor and staff are very courteous and professional. Doctor had to do filling for me painless. My first time here went on my office colleagues recommendation. Also I do not mind driving 50 miles from home.

Dr. Rizzo was great. Real cool guy, did great work. I had a chipped tooth and he got me in the next day. Can't complain. Would chip my tooth again. His staff was just as nice. Justyna made the whole process easier than ever.

Overall 5 star experience.

I really enjoyed my visit to the office of Gerald V. Rizzo, D.M.D.. Im not a big fan of dentist visits, but this was one that I can say I actually enjoyed. From my first contact with Jessica, it was all smooth sailing. She was super attentive with my insurance and made numerous calls back and forth to me and my insurance provider in order to have me and my son all set up for our first visit. She was great and made a fantastic first impression. Kudos to Jessica!

I needed a second visit and it was as smooth as the first one. Usually a first visit goes better than a second as on the first visit

I have been with the same dentist for close to 15 years . He has retired and I had to find a new dentist which is as scary as finding a new hairdresser or a groomer for your dog. I was made to feel do comfortable at Dr Rizzo's office. I felt like I had been going there for many years. Extremely thorough and professional staff and no pushing you into things that need to be done on your teeth. Such a great experience.

Hi Dentist shoppers!

Based on GREAT Yelp reviews I went to Dr. Rizzo's Office. I was really seeking a great hygienist for GREAT cleanings. And my Yelp research led to this office. The hygienist that I read about on Yelp was Nuria (pronounced Nudia). She was a knock out. Beyond thorough. The most thorough cleaning I have ever had. And I am 54! She did not leave a spec of tartar/plaque.

SO, if you are looking for a great hygienist for your regular cleanings look no further - NURIA! I did also have a dental exam by one of Rizzo's associates dentists. He was pleasant but nothing has come

Dr.Rizzo and his team are AMAZING. I recently had extensive work done and they were incredibly patient and kind in putting my fears to rest. I am new to the area and was looking for a trusted and experienced dentist. The day i called to make the appointment i hadn't realized that the office was closed so i left a message with the answering service not only did i get a return call 10 minutes later, but it was Dr.Rizzo himself calling to find out if i was in pain and in need of emergency treatment. This spoke volumes to me. I am a patient for life. Thanks Team Rizzo.
p.s. love my smile.

I found this dentist through my insurance companies website and was pleasantly surprised.

The first time I called on a Wednesday, not knowing they were closed and got their answering service. They immediately contacted Dr.Rizzo who called me back within minutes to make sure I didn't have an emergency. I explained that I was just a new patient trying to make an appointment for a cleaning. I was shocked AND impressed that he personally called me and how caring he sounded. He had his office call me first thing in the morning for an appointment. I was able to get a cleaning appointment just
