About Buffalo Dental Group
Dr. Ellen M. Vossler is repeatedly credited with steering patients away from unnecessary work, even when pricier options would pay more.
Buffalo Dental Group is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, traditional and clear braces, and early orthodontic treatment. Reviews frequently highlight gentle, pain-free care and a warm office atmosphere, but what stands apart is the repeated mention of conservative, no-pressure treatment planning under Dr. Ellen M. Vossler, including honest recommendations even when costlier options would be more profitable. Several longtime patients describe decades of trust in the same dentist, and anxious patients in particular note being put at ease. A few reviews mention billing surprises with out-of-network insurance and one mention of a long wait for a repair fix.

I’m not a fan of being at the dentist but this is an incredible place. Everyone there is awesome, especially Lisa who is phenomenal. She is always concerned about your comfort, which to me is amazing. She really must love her job. I’m happy to have her as my go- to. 🥰
