Tooth pain or a sudden problem? Reviewers, including one visiting from out of state, describe being seen the same day and getting it resolved.
Dr. Judy treats your overall wellbeing, not just your teeth. It is the kind of attention that once caught a throat issue two ENTs had missed.

Meet the practice
Judith S. Savino, D.M.D. has cared for the families of Center Moriches from the same building on Main Street for more than 65 years. It is the kind of place where patients of 25 and 30 years are ordinary, where parents who came in as kids now bring their own children, and where the front desk greets you by name before you've signed in.
Dr. Judy is known for taking her time. She explains what she sees, talks through your options, and treats your overall health, not just your teeth. Her hygienist Lindsay turns up by name in review after review for being thorough, patient, and gentle. The reviews use the same word again and again for the whole staff: family.
“In a world where everything is automated and impersonal, it is wonderful to have a dentist and staff that really cares about their patients.”
A. Wolny · Google review
Lindsay is mentioned by name in review after review: "thorough," "patient," "gentle," "a legend." One longtime patient credits her with spotting a serious throat problem that two ENT doctors had missed. She's a big part of why people say they don't dread their cleanings here.
In their words
“Have been patients and neighbors for 30 years. The staff is caring, professional and supportive. Lindsay observed a serious problem in my throat where 2 ENT doctors failed to diagnose at previous visits. Dr. Judy supports her patients' overall health and wellbeing.”
“I've been going to Dr. Savino for years and years and years! I have always loved and appreciated the staff and services. I don't dread going to the dentist which is a major plus!”
“I've been coming to see Dr. Savino and her wonderful staff for 30 years. I started bringing both of my children just before their teeth started coming out. They are both in their 20s and still coming to this office. I look forward to seeing members of my family when I go to the dentist.”
“Dr. Judy is absolutely fantastic! My wife and I have been patients there for well over twenty years. She's very knowledgeable, staying current with the latest in her field, and conscious of her patients and their needs. Above all, she actually cares about her patients!”
“Very accommodating to get me in for an urgent dental issue. Friendly, helpful and professional staff made me feel at ease and listened to, and got me an appointment that day to resolve it. Since I am visiting from Arizona, I really appreciated being taken care of so promptly.”
“It was my very first time going to Dr. Savino's office and everyone on the staff was extremely pleasant and very nice. Dr. Savino was amazing. I would highly recommend the service to anyone.”
“From the first time I called everyone was very helpful and kind. Once I went to the office in town it was so inviting, each person was super nice and made you feel less anxious. Dr. Judy is thorough and spent time explaining details of my care. I left and actually felt good about going to the dentist!”
“If you know me then you know this is the last place I would ever want to be. Dr. Judy and her staff have made it not so bad now. They are very attentive to my needs and now I try to keep up with my appointments on a regular basis. Thanks Dr. Judy and staff.”
“Dr. Savino and Lindsay are legends! I really appreciated how patient and gentle the hygienist was. I'd definitely recommend this practice to anyone looking for a trustworthy dentist.”
“The entire office staff is amazing! My husband and I have been patients for over a decade. I now bring my very elderly Dad here as well. They treat us like family. Highly recommend!”
“I really like the friendliness of the practice. My exam and cleaning went well. My hygienist Lindsay was very thorough, and it was convenient to make future appointments with her.”
“I always have a positive experience with Lindsay and the dentists. My only note is that it's getting harder to book a six-month appointment, they fill up fast, so I'd say book your next visit before you leave the office.”
