Fantastic experience: Pleasant experience from start to finish. Was there for first time initial check up and plan of action moving forward. I haven’t been to a dentist in years and knew I was in need of more work than I cared to admit. The whole team made me feel at home and there was no judgment. Just caring individuals for my well being. Dr. Beaulieu and Jasmine could not have been more respectful and their calming, charming and fun personalities were refreshing and we had some good laughs. If you know me, that is more important than you could imagine. I have never said this about any visit to a dentist ever in my 60 years on this ground but I am actually almost kinda looking forward to my next visit. Thank you for this and treating me like a person who simply needs a dentist. And, the gal at the reception desk, Julianna, well she is a great and special gal.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is so friendly and caring. I'm older, dental care wasn't part of my culture when I was growing up, and my vices aren't kind to my teeth (coffee, cigarettes...). But there's no judgement or preaching, just kind attention. No pain at all!

Fantastic experience: Great visit. I love this dental practice. They are gentle, kind respectful knowledgeable and helpful. I don’t like going to the dentist and these women make it enjoyable. How awesome is that. Thank you Foreside dental Group.
Fantastic experience: I have going to Foreside Dental for more than 10 years. The office staff, and medical staff are top notch and I know my teeth are well taken care of. I also have been able to get in right away in the past when I was having trouble. The office and parking are easy to get to. I highly recommend Foreside Dental!
Fantastic experience: Great. My teeth are clean and I'm happy.
Fantastic experience: Annika was great! Very knowledgeable and patient when answering questions.
Negative experience: My daughter was going to Foreside Dental since 2020. On May 2024, her dentist told me she needs two fillings and Foreside gave me an estimate for the cost. I thought it was expensive and decided to look for another dentist. I went to Foreside and I signed the request for release of dental information form. They told me they would send the recent x-rays to the new dentist. I gave them the correct email address and enough time for emailing to the new dentist. Issue number#1, Foreside dental never emailed to the new dentist and I had to pay extra for x-rays because I had already used my x-ray benefit. Issue number2#, which was a very important one, the new hygienist told us he found her teeth did not look like she had her teeth cleaned for a long time. Her last cleaning was at Foreside only one month prior. The new hygienist told us he found pieces of debris older than a couple of months. I think Foreside did the cleaning so basic and didn't pay attention to details.
Negative experience: Lea Beaulieu 11/4/19 filed down my thin front teeth to repair them and build up thickness. Now my front teeth are crooked and they have vertical indentations running down the center of each tooth.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at Foreside Dental Healthcare for more than 20 years. The staff is highly professional, extremely knowledgeable, and thorough. This is the dental office you want to go to.
