Dr. Mark Malatesta and Kim are amazing ! They extracted my tooth that had split and created an implant so beautifully and quickly !! Today I got my new tooth and it fits perfectly!! I can not say enough about the wonderful atmosphere and the excellent work that I have had done here !! They are so talented .. work as a team .. and I trust them implicitly!! Thank you for making my times at the dentist enjoyable and my teeth show what attention to detail you all do !!
I just want to thank Dr. Marc Malatesta, and his incredible team for helping me achieve my beautiful smile. It has been a long journey but I am so thankful for the kindness and guidance they showed me in this process. Getting dental implants has definitely changed my life. Thank you for all that you have done for me!
What a wonderful visit I had today at Cornerstone Dental Greece! I was fortunate to get a last minute appt for a cleaning and evaluation of a wisdom tooth that is sore. My dental hygienist Jenni was professional, kind and thorough! I was the most relaxed I have ever been getting my teeth cleaned! I was able to get a referral for a consult with an oral surgeon for next week. I was given information on the cost and insurance coverage, and overall was given excellent customer service! Thank you Cornerstone Dental!Kristen
This office is fantastic. Dr Goodyear always makes my youngest daughter feel so comfortable when she is there. He is excellent at making everyone comfortable for any procedure they need. We chose this office in 2002 and the staff is friendly and welcoming and will always recommend it to friends and family.
Last week I had another AMAZING cleaning at cornerstone. Joanne was gentle and took her time to get in all those pesky spots that I tend to miss with flossing. Joanne was easy to chat with and we enjoyed a few laughs together as I admired DR. Goodyear. Dr. Goodyear spend time with me and didn’t make me feel like he was rushing off to another patient before asking if I had any questions.Ashleigh was friendly and sweet as she did the not so pleasant impressions for my whitening trays. She explained the process and it was quick and easy( painless too). Ashleigh took the time to make sure the impression were perfect before I left. I’m on day 2 of whitening and I’m looking forward to a brighter smile!Today my daughter continued phase one with ortho and Dr. Mike.Her nerves got the best of her as she waited for her beginning braces to be put on. Ashleigh explained each step to her and Becky was understanding and comforting. Dr Mike was quick and made it a pain free experience. My daughter was all smiles after her appointment.Once again the staff at cornerstone went out of their way to help my family’s dental needs. We absolutely love everyone there!
What a positive experience we had today at Cornerstone Dental. Specifically, Ashleigh in Orthodontics made my sons’ appointment effortless and comfortable. He had an emergency issue and she was able to schedule him in immediately, and went out of her way to ensure it worked for his schedule. She fixed the emergency issue while also going above and beyond to elevate his comfort in his new braces. He felt immediate relief, and that’s all thanks to Ashleigh. Her professionalism, disposition, and skill are unmatched. I have no doubt she will go on to be an superb dentist, and I hope Cornerstone knows how fortunate they are to have such a valuable asset on their dental team. Thanks again Ashleigh!

I had and extraction today and it was a very pleasant experience. The Staff and Dentist were attentive to my needs and concerns about my time constraints (returning to work). You have my gratitude!
Very professional office, staff is caring and knowledgeable. I have always had a positive experience and would highly recommend the Henrietta office for dental care. Kaylee Pollitt, DMD and her assistant were awesome. They made me feel comfortable through the process of getting cavities filled and I never felt an ounce of pain.
I have been going to this location for years and was always very happy with the service. Cornerstone bought it out a few years ago and it is just as great as before. The girls at the reception area are great! Sunny, who cleans my teeth, is thorough in her job. What I also love about her is that she talks to me BEFORE she cleans my teeth and not during it. This allows me to not have to try to respond with a mouth full of tools and this allows me to relax during the cleaning. Dr. Kaylee Pollitt, my dentist, is exactly the kind of dentist I like. She is honest and compassionate and gives me suggestions to maintain good dental health without pressuring me.
Everyone was amazing!! From the Girl’s that greeted me to the hygienist and Dentist! I’m a new patient and had an emergency and they got me in right away! You normally don’t get that! Beyond happy my family referred them to me!!
This new group has seen a complete departure of the people that I had had dental care for 30 years. I admit that I was nervous about the change, and I was being pushed toward my in-law’s family dental practice. However, when I met with them, I was immediately impressed with the surgeon, dentist, and everyone. Over the last many months, I’ve gotten to work with and know most of the staff. They have been great! Now, my wife has met them and agrees that they are terrific. I give them 5 Stars!

Dear Valued Patients
We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same, our commitment to your health and safety.
Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are implemented so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and team members safe.
Our offices follow infection control recommendations issued by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be released. We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agencies’ recommendations.
Additionally, you may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We are making these changes to help protect our patients and team members. For example:
Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions. You’ll be asked those same questions again when you are at the office.
Please call our “Appointment Arrival Line” when you arrive for your appointment, rather than coming into the office as this will help with social distancing. Appointment Arrival Line for Greece Office is: 585-498-4948. Appointment Arrival Line for Henrietta Office is: 585-629-5458
We have hand sanitizer in the reception area that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. You will also find some throughout the office for you to use as needed.
You will see that our reception area has changed. At this time, we will no longer be offering magazines, children’s toys and so forth, as these items are more difficult to clean and disinfect. Additionally, we have removed most seating so as to promote social distancing.
We have installed glass sneeze guards throughout the business office area to protect both patients and staff.
Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. We will continue to accommodate scheduling requests as best as possible, but may have some limitations as we have modified our schedule with your safety as a priority. We will do our best to strategically schedule appointments in an effort to reduce wait times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time.
You may notice that some treatment modalities may be modified to increase safety. For example, taking patient temperatures upon arrival for scheduled appointments, oral rinses prior to treatment, and some treatment modifications to help reduce aerosols such as HEPA air purifiers in all treatment rooms, etc. Our number one priority is the health and safety of our patients and team members.
For dental hygiene appointments, we temporarily may not be able to provide the same treatment modalities that you are accustomed to, including prophy polishing paste, prophy jet, and ultrasonic scalers. Please know that this is for the safety of our team and patients.
We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we are taking to keep you, and every patient in our practice safe. To make an appointment, please call our office at 585-865-7030 or 585-334-8350 or visit our website at www.cornerstonedentalny.com.
Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends.
Sincerely, Drs. Palermo, Malatesta, Valerio and Team Members
