Gentle Dental Somerville

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent first experience! Dr. Hallett was kind, attentive, and offered honest recommendations without any pressure. The staff was amazing and made me feel comfortable from start to finish.

Experiencia fantástica: Exceptional front desk staff helped me the second I walked in the door. The whole premises were spotless clean and the professional dental staff could not have been more attentive to my well being throughout the procedure which was an extraction. Dr. Sean actually called me the next day to check on me.

Experiencia fantástica: The best dental office I’ve been to. Dr. Hallett is very professional, kind, and patient, and he always explains the treatment clearly. I feel comfortable and well taken care of at every visit. The assistant and front desk staff are friendly and welcoming. The billing and insurance are clear. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: This place is great! I hadn't gone to the dentist in YEARS and got my first cleaning in a while done with Cam Newton whos a hygienist here and it was a great experience. No pain, great individuals, genuinely not a single complaint. Also got a filling done here by Dr. Shawn Hallett and it went without a hitch, they answer questions you have, you get taken care of! Would highly recommend people visit!

Experiencia positiva: All staff were super helpful! Appointments went smooth and timely which I appreciate. Dr Hallett and Ikshita were amazing. Thank you Gentle Dental.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this office. Easy to get appointments and everyone is so kind. Dr. He is incredibly kind and all the hygienists I’ve worked with have been so great!

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience at Gentle Dental in Somerville for a root canal procedure. The entire team, from the front desk staff and dental hygienists to the dental assistants and doctors, consistently demonstrated professional and excellent behavior, making every single step of the process pleasant. This was my best dental experience to date; nothing bothered me throughout the entire visit, and I left this clinic completely satisfied. The front desk staff were easy and quick to reach, and I want to highlight Gabi and Alex for being incredibly helpful with scheduling and documentation. I was in the care of Dr. He and Dr. Hallett, and I truly appreciate their skill. Dr. He did a phenomenal job on my tooth; he is incredibly kind and detail-oriented, taking the time to explain every single step. Beyond that, he is very well-informed, I had a pleasant one-to-one conversation with him that was extremely delightful. He even went above and beyond by following up the day after my procedure to check if I was experiencing any pain. I was also very impressed by Dr. Hallett’s honesty and professionalism throughout my care. It’s rare to find a dental office that combines such high-quality care with such a responsive, friendly, and dedicated team. I would definitely go back to this office and highly recommend them!

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience. Did not feel pressured and no hard sell. They told me what i needed, gave me the treatment plan breaking down the costs after insurance payment and let decide if I can actually afford to do the treatments. The dentist was very nice and the assistant and all staff were too.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience working with Dr. Hee. He is very professional, informative, and skilled at his work. This is the best dental clinic I’ve been a patient.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. He and the office staff are very kind and considerate. I am someone who is really anxious and worried about dental visits but everyone has made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend them.

Experiencia fantástica: Okay so this has been a long time coming but Cameron Newton DPH is that dude ! I highly recommend you guys gets your teeth cleaned by him. No BS all work. Much thanks ! Each and every visit I have had has been pleasant. No long wait times. The talk through process of the teeth cleaning is exuberant. For anyone that’s frightened of a deep clean…don’t be! From start to finish has been nothing short of A+ work.

Experiencia positiva: They have an AI appointment scheduler. Absolutely horrible.

Experiencia fantástica: This place has given me a good impression so far about the staff. Raymond is very professional and attentive. Ms. Victoria did such a professional work with my teeth cleaning, paying close attention to details and really showing she cared about what she was doing. This place deserves more than 5 stars.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been getting dental work done at Gentle Dental Somerville for years; the dentists and dental hygienists are the best.

Experiencia negativa: This practice is seriously lacking in punctuality and professional service. Both the dentist and the periodontist have made me wait more than twenty minutes past my scheduled appointment time. During my last visit I was charged prior to the procedure and for the incorrect service. A week later I called to confirm the refund only to be told that the ticket had not been submitted. I am still waiting for a nearly $750 refund. As of today, two weeks after the appointment, I have not received my refund and my bank has no record of one being issued. The practice sent me a screenshot that had no information, not even my full name or the amount, indicating that this was proof the refund had been initiated last week. Still no resolution.

Experiencia fantástica: They did a great job checking my teeth and are a good company.

Experiencia fantástica: I really enjoyed talking to Ikshita, Dr.Hallot and Gabrielle. They were all very nice, thoughtful, patient, accommodating and professional. Dr. He is my dentist and because he wasn’t there Dr. Hallot (I think that’s his name, sorry!) saw me, and he was super good and kind. He made good recommendations and will notify Dr. He, who I also like. I highly recommend coming to the Gentle Dental on McGrath Highway. Super nice, efficient, and excellent dental services and spirit of hospitality!

Experiencia fantástica: Best gentle dental and we’re so blessed to have found it. The office is extremely clean, the staff is friendly and so sweet. Carmen at the front desk is always so nice every time we visit. Ms. Ishika Patel is an amazing hygienist very thorough and the dentist on duty was fantastic.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing fast service, a lot of availability, all of the staff/doctors are amazing very kind and easy with speak with

Experiencia fantástica: Today, I visited Gentle Dental Somerville for a routine dental check-up. Dr He conducted a thorough examination and identified a crack in one of my teeth that will require a crown. Preventive treatment was provided, and a follow-up appointment has been scheduled. Thanks to Dr He for the excellent and gentle care.

Experiencia fantástica: This spot is terrific. As someone who has moved 5x in the last decade, I have experienced a few different dentist offices. I have been coming here for 3 years and had positive experiences each time. Cameron the hygienist is personable, kind, and very informative. He actually makes your cleaning fun. Dr. He is a quality doctor who takes the time to explain things and provides clear guidance.

Experiencia negativa: I had a very frustrating experience with Gentle Dental that completely wasted my time. Before booking, I carefully read reviews. Most people talked about the quality of dental work, and one mentioned issues with appointment handling. I assumed that by booking online, I could avoid that problem. Since my visit was urgent due to a broken tooth, I even called the clinic a day in advance to confirm everything. The agent pulled up my insurance information, checked everything, and confirmed that I was all set. Based on that confirmation, I canceled three important work appointments to make sure I arrived on time. However, when I got to the clinic, the front desk staff suddenly told me that my insurance is not accepted there. This is completely unacceptable. They had every opportunity to verify this before my visit, especially during the phone confirmation, but failed to do so. As a result, I not only delayed urgent dental care but also lost three previously scheduled work commitments. If they had done their job properly, I could have booked another clinic in time. I strongly advise anyone considering this place: pay close attention to the all reviews. This is a serious issue, and it can cost you both time and important commitments.

Experiencia fantástica: I am currently undergoing treatment with Dr. He, and after visiting several different dental clinics, he was the doctor I ultimately decided to trust with my dental journey. Dr. He is very gentle, professional, and detail-oriented. He took the time to explain everything clearly, which really helped me feel comfortable and confident about my treatment. From the very beginning, I felt a strong sense of trust. The front desk staff and dental assistants were also very kind and supportive throughout the process. After a long and stressful dental journey, it was truly a pleasure to finally meet a doctor I could trust and feel at ease with.

Experiencia fantástica: Really great experience, staff is very knowledgeable and understanding. Appointment scheduling is easy. I did many fillings here and will come back for more procedures

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. He is wonderful — knowledgeable, kind, and clearly passionate about what he does. He takes the time to explain things and truly cares about his patients. Cam is hands down the best hygienist I’ve ever had. He explains everything so clearly and makes you feel completely at ease. He’s incredibly kind, thorough, and excellent at his job — I’m so happy to be under his care. And Carmen is truly the reason I started coming here in the first place. I was in severe pain and needed a wisdom tooth removed, and she went above and beyond to get me onboarded as a new patient and seen within just a couple of days. I was beyond grateful. On top of that, she’s the sweetest. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Highly recommend Gentle Dental!

Experiencia fantástica: Was seen at Gentle Dental on 1/21/26 by Dr. He. He was incredible-I’ve been seeing him for few years now, and he consistently provided excelllent care.

Experiencia fantástica: My visits are always a good experience. Dr. He and all his staff are wonderful at making you feel comfortable and stress free. . Dr. He is the best dentist ,answering your questions and explaining what he is doing. Always 5 stars!!

Experiencia fantástica: The staff are professional, quick, and fun to interact with. It doesn't feel as if you're visiting a dental center of all places.

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend Cameron he's the dental hygienist!!!! He makes you feel very relaxed as i was so nervous!!! He explains the process and is very detailed . I'm confident in the care here .I hope this helps anyone else who's anxious !

Experiencia fantástica: My mother works in dentistry so I’ve basically grown up in and around dental offices my whole life. Dr. He is by far the best dentist I’ve visited. He takes his time with you, explains everything in great detail, and gives you honest patient-informed suggestions for your care. Genuinely, you won’t find a better dentist! Also the new patient deal is unheard of!!

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful experience from my first couple of visits as a new patient. The reception staff were kind and accommodating. Dr. He was impartial and informed, clearly having my dental well-being as his priority without selling me on unnecessary services. The dental hygienist, Cameron, was kind and competent.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone at Somerville location was patient and well experienced. They guided me throughout the entire procedure and helped me in my time of need.

Experiencia fantástica: Came in for a cleaning and it was a great experience! Ari gave my teeth the best cleaning I’ve ever had!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr.He was hands down the best dentist I’ve had. Coming from someone who frequently visited the dentist during my childhood and is terrified of dental offices. He did a pretty tricky filling for me and it literally felt nothing has changed after the anesthesia wore off. The procedure was also very quick and painless. He is also extremely knowledgeable and gave me some advice on finding a good dentist as I was moving away. Followed his advice and am very happy with my current dentist.

Experiencia fantástica: Samantha Kim was fantastic, very thorough cleaning!

Experiencia fantástica: I had an absolutely amazing experience at Gentle Dentle! I went in for a tooth extraction and was taken care of by Dr. He and his assistant Nancy. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. The office is clean, calming, and has a very friendly atmosphere. Dr. He is not only highly skilled, but also incredibly gentle, patient, and thorough. He took the time to explain everything to me, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire procedure. His calm and confident demeanor really helped ease any anxiety I had. The extraction itself was so quick and painless — I couldn’t believe how easy it was! Nancy was also amazing — warm, professional, and attentive. She made me feel cared for from start to finish and worked seamlessly alongside Dr. He. You can really tell they make a great team and genuinely care about their patients. I left the clinic feeling relieved, happy, and so impressed by the entire experience. I highly recommend Gentle Dentle to anyone in need of dental care. The level of professionalism, compassion, and excellence here is truly outstanding. 10/10!

Experiencia negativa: I made an appointment for a cleaning. The woman who is spoke to on the phone seem to have trouble understanding English. She asked me 5 times to spell Bonnie. Every question required me to repeat myself over and over. She said that since I was a new patient I would have to pay $79 for xrays. I have insurance, but insurance only covers them every 5 years, and she said the dentist required them. I agreed to pay. When it was close to my appointment time, I couldn't remember what time the appointment was for, so I called to ask. She told me I didn't have an appointment scheduled. I again had to repeatedly spell Bonnie for her. Repeatedly give her my date of birth, ect. After several times telling her my name was Bonnie, she asked me if my name was Phill! She then asked if it was a man I talked to last time to book the appointment. I said, no, it was you. She finally booked me an appointment for the next day. I am on vacation this week and out of town. I drove an hour to get to this appointment. When I got there, I was told by the male at the front desk that my appointment was for the next day. I could tell by the sound of her voice that the woman sitting next to him was the woman who screwed up the appointment. I said to him that she was incompetent. He said he would talk to the dentist to see when they could get me in, but that it couldn't be today. I said no, cancel my appointments, I will find another dentist, and then I walked out. If a practice can't even get competent support staff to answer phones and book appointments, God only knows what else would go wrong.

Experiencia fantástica: The entire team was very friendly and informative. From the front desk staff, to the Dental Assistant, the Dental Hygienist, the Doctors, were great. Definitely the best experience I’ve had at a dentistry practice since I was a kid…and I’m 36 which says a lot lol

Experiencia fantástica: My wife and I have been patients of Gentle Dental in Somerville for a few years now and have always had excellent dental care from everyone that’s been involved with our treatment. Dr He is very meticulous and I would say a perfectionist at his profession. And when it comes to dental care, that’s a very good thing. The Gentle Dental staff working the front of the house are so polite professional and friendly I refer to them as friends. Before I met Gentle Dental I used to dread going to the dentist. Now I actually look forward to it.

Experiencia fantástica: I called in with an extremely painful tooth and was offered a same day visit with Dr. Kim. She assessed the tooth and made a decision to remove an old crown in order to do a thorough root canal. Her clinical judgement and thoughtful approach inspired confidence. The client team representatives at the front desk showed a lot of empathy, even offering me a blanket during my 2 hour long procedure. They also made the billing process easy to understand. I was so pleased with my experience here that I switched my care from another provider to Dr. Kim and the Somerville team. I highly recommend this office.

Experiencia fantástica: I came into the office for an emergency appointment for tooth pain, Gentle Dental was able to see me the same day. I came into the office already crying and panicking from dental anxiety, and the staff was so caring and kind about it, they took me through one step at a time and were incredibly helpful at putting me at ease. When I expressed that I had not been to the dentist in years and was nervous about the rest of my teeth, the doctor changed my visit to a full exam and didn't charge me extra. The doctor was also extremely gentle in explaining the work I still need done on my teeth. Getting my tooth pulled was as painless and easy as possible. Also, in the over two hours I was being helped, the front desk called my insurance company and resolved the issue I was having with them. Just an overall great experience. Special shoutout to the dental hygienist Erika who made me laugh through the tears.

Experiencia fantástica: My first experience at Gentle Dental went great ~ nice pleasant atmosphere and staff was amazing

Experiencia fantástica: Gentle Dental Somerville is hands down one of the best dental offices I’ve ever visited. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left, the experience was seamless. The front desk staff was incredibly friendly, organized, and knowledgeable—special thanks to Carmen, who not only provides excellent service but also takes the time to genuinely connect with patients. That level of care is rare and deeply appreciated. A big shoutout as well to Dr. Ho, who is exceptionally thorough and takes a personalized approach to dental care. Thanks to his professionalism and commitment to excellence, I finally feel like I’m on the right track with my dental routine. I highly recommend this location to anyone who dreads going to the dentist and is looking for top-quality, compassionate care.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. He and the wonderful receptionist really helped make a usually stressful experience for me great. Dr. He talked me through everything and did his best to make me feel comfortable. I couldn’t recommend him enough. The receptionist treated me with kindness over the phone, and she remembered me when I got there.

Experiencia fantástica: Been with gentle dentist fifteen years always pleased. Very clean place . Everyone is always so nice and very kind.

Experiencia fantástica: After several years of neglecting my oral health, the Gentle Dental team in Somerville helped me get back on track and regain trust in going to the dentist. With consistent care and dedication over the past few years, I can confidently say I no longer have cavities, my fear is gone, and my faith in good doctors has been restored. I highly recommend Dr. He and his team to anyone looking to improve their oral health. They are great and do excellent work.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience from the beginning to the end. They are very professional and kind. I needed help with insurance and they were more than happy to help me with it

Experiencia fantástica: Carmen is a beautiful lady and personality is just as beautiful!! Dr. Kim was awesome!! Overall great experience and great results. I went for an initial visit and cleaning!!

Experiencia fantástica: Once again both Erica and Carmen were amazing!!! It gets no better than those two ladies. My daughter actually loves going to the dentist because of them.

Experiencia positiva: Great service! Staff was very efficient. Tremendous pain was dealt with excellently. Quick & courteous. Thanks!

Experiencia fantástica: Great dental clinic. One of my crowns got loose and Carmen got me an appt right away. Everybody is professional and friendly. Dr. He took care of getting my crown back in place quickly and painlessly. He takes the time and performs quality work. I highly recommend him.

Experiencia fantástica: It’s always comforting to walk into a dental office and be greeted with a smile and by name; Carmen and Erica create that welcoming atmosphere. Erica is a phenomenal hygienist, she is not only adept at her job, but she makes you feel comfortable and not judged for your dental health. I’ve found Dr He to be efficient, knowledgeable, and not over aggressive. Overall, Gental Dentle Somerville has completely changed my perception of what dental care can, and should be.

Experiencia fantástica: Outstanding Service! DR.He was great . Carmen is a very kind and special person! She went out of her way to assist me. Awesome people Thank You!

Experiencia fantástica: Literally such a kind and incredible and knowledgeable staff. They made my dental experience so wonderful, truly the best

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to GD for the past 15 years. Great customer service and great service overall.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr He was lovey, professional and VERY nice. He explained everything about my filling and helped with my anxiety. I felt no pain! He and his staff are excellent. Highly recommend.

Experiencia negativa: Honestly don’t know How the experience is in general but costumer service is not welcoming at all! Walked in to learn how to become a new patient and felt like what I asked didn’t make sense and the 3 staff that were there looked at me like I had three heads. They did give me a business card but off the back it felt like when I walked in I was interrupting whatever they had going on. So I won’t be coming back

Experiencia fantástica: Best Dental office I’ve been to in a long time. The hygienist, Cam, is phenomenal and does a great job explaining why each part of the assessment is done and what he’s doing in each step. The doctor who runs the office is extremely kind, efficient, and communicative as well. Couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Experiencia fantástica: Cam Newton (Hygienist) and Dr. He were professional, quick, and charismatic. I normally dread going to the dentist but Can and Dr. He made the experience tolerable and went above and beyond. I’ll be coming to them moving forward.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. He was one of the kindest dentists I have ever met, helping me through my dental anxiety while educating me fully on my options. The dental technicians and even receptionists were amazing as well, and this was only my first visit! I feel totally comfortable coming back to this Gentle Dental location.

Experiencia fantástica: i just started coming here and i love it! everyone is so nice and so welcoming! i’m incredibly self conscious about my teeth and felt judged by most offices i have went to. but here they really do take their time to talk to you about your teeth and make you feel like getting your perfect simile is achievable! Robert has also been amazing!! he’s so kind, reassuring, and patient!! he takes his time in figuring out what the best path is for you and even looks for less invasive ways!! the front desk staff are very sweet and even took time out of their days to have genuine small talk with me as i was leaving (i wish i got her name). during my first appointment i also had an amazing hygienist, (i wish i had her name too, but i know she’s a leo!) she was so funny and didn’t make me feel bad about the build-up under my permanent retainer. i am truly glad to have found a dentist office that i feel comfortable in!

Experiencia negativa: The practice could not figure out my insurance situation and gave me conflicting information. Furthermore, the dental hygienist was not informative. Lastly, the general dentist was rude and also not informative. They don't seem to know what they are doing here.

Experiencia fantástica: Firstly, they send you “gentle reminders” of your appointment to ensure that you don’t miss it. Secondly, the doctor called me the night before just to confirm everything with me. Felt very valued. And then on the day, everything was done so professionally and Dr Samantha Kim thee dentist! I left with knowledge of my next steps etc. I am beyond impressed. Even the ladies at the front desk! 100/10 Thank you guys and please keep it up.

Experiencia positiva: Update: My issue has been resolved, thanks to Dr. Raymond He's help. I have no complaints about the quality of the treatment. Dr. He is very professional and thoughtful toward patients. I only hope that the incorrect billing issue caused by the billing department will not happen again in the future. _______________________________________________________________ I had a treatment with them in February 2023. I immediately paid the portion that was not covered by my insurance, and everything seemed fine. However, in May 2024, they reached out to me, asking me to pay over $2,000 for that treatment. The statement they sent was different from the one I received in February 2023. After several discussions and email exchanges, they assured me they would fix the issue. But today, I received a bill stating that I still owe the $2,000, which should have been covered by my insurance. No one from them is there helping me to solve my problem.

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly Very clean experience overall would recommend all the way doc he one of the best

Experiencia fantástica: I had an urgent need for a dentist, so I tried Somerville Gentle Dental. It was my first visit, and I felt like a regular patient. Dr. He and his assistant were great. They make sure you are comfortable and listen well to your concerns. I felt at ease, very comfortable in a space I was never comfortable with. My smile is perfect again. The receptionist, Carmen, has a wonderful personality. I choose Somerville Gentle Dental over all my other experiences. The staff exceeds my expectations. Best decision to visit there.

Experiencia fantástica: I looked at many dental offices in the Boston area for my dental care including (2) implants. I could not recommend Gentle Dental Somerville enough - the staff is incredible and the service that I have received has been very high quality. Dr. He has gone above and beyond to ensure that I have been happy with my procedures and ensure that I have received the best care possible.

Experiencia fantástica: I've been going to Gentle Dental Somerville for 5 years and cannot say enough good things about the practice. The staff is friendly and professional--from the front desk to the dental assistants to the dentists. I have since moved to Medford and there is a closer Gentle Dental location, but I continue to drive to the Somerville practice because of how great they are. I get twice a year cleanings and have been fitted for a replacement retainer after losing my previous one. All services have been smooth and I appreciate that they have some appointments after 5 PM--as it can sometimes be difficult to get out of work before then.

Experiencia fantástica: Painless dentistry at its finest, I didn't feel a thing during my extraction procedure. Dr He was swift and shortly after that the tooth was out..great work!

Experiencia fantástica: Cam was very good, I was very apprehensive about doing my deep cleaning. But Cam put me at a very relaxing state he was the best

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Raymond M. He is an amazing dentist. He and his team gave me back my confidence in repairing my mouth and giving me back my smile. They will forever have my gratitude and I will continue to keep coming back here.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to this Somerville location for about 10 years now. Erica, the hygienist is awesome. She is thorough and gives your teeth a really great cleaning and listens to any concerns you may have. Also the two ladies at the front desk, Priscilla and Carmen are just so pleasant and very helpful, when it comes to checking in for your appointment and checking out and scheduling your next appointment. If you are looking for a great dentist and great hygienist, I highly recommend the Gentle Dental location in Somerville.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone in Gentle Dental was very attentive and nice. My pet peeve about dental clinics is there after your money. They didn’t pressure you and made sure you know the cost and showed you where the damage was and why. They made sure they addressed all your concerns, whether its cost or the damage of the tooth, which I appreciate. Even if you weren’t a good patient at caring your teeth, they kindly reminded you what’s needed to maintain healthy teeth. They also use AI to help with the assessment of the teeth, which was good to know that this technology exists for teeth. To summarize it, I definitely recommend this dental clinic!

Experiencia fantástica: I was in such need of a dentist, and do to a bad experience in the pass my husband and we're afraid. My co-workers kept telling me about the Gentle Sent Me in Somerville on McGrath Highway. It took some time to convince my husband and to build the courage but we did an appointment and went. The first person we met was Pricila Silva she took her time explaining all the details about coverage prices and the work they do. We left feeling comfortable knowing all the details. It's been 4 Months and we couldn't be happier with our beautiful teeth and the friendship we have built with all of them. I can honestly say that they put a bright smile on our faces. Thank you Gental Dental for your professional customer service. Anabela Pappas

Experiencia fantástica: from day 1 EVERYONE at this location (Receptionist, Dr. etc.) has been very compassionate/supportive of my medical needs ... I appreciate the work they put into making me smile a bit brighter

Experiencia fantástica: The nicest, gentlest, most pleasant-to-talk to dental hygiene specialist and a very nice doctor. 0 complaints. Upd: also, they don't try to push unnecessary fillings on you or upsell things you don't need. Will keep coming

Experiencia fantástica: Dr He is an amazing amazing dentist and person!!! Very professional, patient, careful, also great communication skills. Strongly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: My Friday teeth cleaning had to be rescheduled, but they were able to fit me in last minute earlier in the week. Great customer service and support answering all my questions and addressing all my concerns!

Experiencia positiva: Overall good dental practice. I thought the Dentist could have walked me through what was going on more. I couldn't speak and ask any questions (on a lengthy visit) as my mouth was propped open. Also a little rough with utensils and not very mindful of how the patient was doing.

Experiencia fantástica: I had an appointment with Dr. He, and it was a great experience. The staff is very attentive and professional. The dental hygienist, Erica, was terrific. So gentle during the cleaning! I highly recommend this clinic.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome service! Dr. He was super cool, took the time to answer all my questions. Erica (or Erika, not sure) was the sweetest! She made my dentist visit/ cleaning actually enjoyable. And Carmen was really nice too! I've already recommended them to my roommates :)

Experiencia fantástica: Great customer service They go above and beyond. The dentist is outstanding, very caring, very knowledgeable. Explains to you in a way that you can understand. I would give them a 10 stars. His assistant works so well with him. She’s great I would recommend this office to anyone that is looking for great service and for dental procedures well done.

Experiencia fantástica: I am super grateful for the care we received from Dr. Raymond He at this site. My 88 year old mom lives with me this year. Had a dental accident more than a month ago, she had some trouble with solid food. I contacted Dr. He and he scheduled an emergency appointment for my mom ASAP. After consulting with me and mom, we all agreed that extracting the teeth with cavity is the MUST. However, extracting broken teeth for an elderly is nerve wracking. Dr. He was extreme thoughtful before the procedure. He was super professional and extremely patient during the procedure. He monitored mom's blood pressure constantly and checked with mom regularly through the whole process. At the end, the procedure was super successful and mom said she didn't feel the pain at all. After taking care the bad teeth, Dr. He ordered a partial denture for mom. Finally the partial denture arrived and Dr. He fitted it very patiently with mom today. After several rounds of adjustments, mom feels comfortable with her newly "gained" teeth. Tonight, mom cried out at the dinner table "finally I can taste the food!" It was quite a touching view to witness. Thank you very much Dr. He! Helping my mom to increase quality of her life at this stage of her life means the whole world for me.

Experiencia fantástica: I’m giving a shout to Erica, I had a deep cleaning, and full exrays on my mouth, she is amazing, not only is she very professional she’s very caring,does an excellent job, painless procedure. First time ever I had a very pleasant experience. I recommend her highly

Experiencia fantástica: I called for an appointment today and this lovely lady Carmen picked up. Guess it was my lucky day because she was the sweetest and she did not stop until she found me an appointment that was close to where I lived. This was the best and most thoughtful customer service experience I’ve ever had. Thank you, Carmen.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing office. The office staff is exceptional, going out of their way to help as much as they can. The office is equipped with all the latest technology. The dentist and all the dental staff are just as good as the office staff. If you are nervous about the dental work or not this is the place for you. The staff is professional but understanding to give you a gentle experience

Experiencia negativa: Hello, I have completed braces treatment (started in Saugus and completed in Somerville) and is now going for implant at GD Saugus. I would like to start off with a positive one. During my consultation visit, one of the orthodontists (who used to work at GD Saugus) suggested they pull out one of my teeth and close the gap. However, at my second visit, I saw Dr. Kotak and she suggested that we make room for my teeth instead of pulling a healthy one. So, thank you for saving my healthy tooth! However, I had an unpleasant experience after they took out the braces. I asked for permanent retainer (I forgot its technical name) the day they took out my braces and paid for it. However, they said they don't have the material and will do it at my next visit. My doctor went on a maternity leave and the doctor who was subbing for her told me to wait for her to get permanent retainer done. I wore my retainer as told (first day and night, and then only on nights and have not skipped a single night until Sept 20th.) That was the first day of my implant treatment. I also had an appointment with my ortho on Oct 2nd. I couldn't wear my retainers because of stiches on my lower jaw and didn't know my teeth would shift in 10 days! When I brought this up, the orthodontist got really defensive and blamed me for not wearing it. I kept telling her that I couldn't because of stiches, didn't know it'd already shift in 10 days, AND they should have done the permanent retainer when I ask on the day they took out my braces or within a few weeks. My doctors, assistances, and office crew knew I was going for implant after I completed my braces treatment. That was the plan all along. I should have been warned about it and told how I can still wear my retainer while healing (e.g. cut the last part of retainer or sth) or get my permanent braces (instead of getting delayed for months even after I made the payment) BEFORE the implant treatment. I felt really not understood by my doctor and even worst, were blamed.. In summary, there is a lack of communication between staff, and also I truly dislike to not be able to visit a doctor any day but only can go on first or third Monday of every month type schedule!

Experiencia fantástica: I've gone in for a cleaning and a filling. In each visit the customer service was superb, from the kindness at the front desk to the dental hygienist who was kind and outgoing, and lastly, Dr. He answered all my questions after the procedure. I was also shocked by how affordable it all was, I will definitely be coming back.

Experiencia fantástica: I've been going here for a few years now. All the staff have been friendly and do good work, especially Erica who I got last time.

Experiencia fantástica: My experience yesterday was great. I had an extraction but it was so was so easy and painless didn’t realize it was over. Great Dentist I would highly recommend him. Jonas Thompson

Experiencia fantástica: Professional and timely service, right from the reception desk to dental procedure. I’m very happy with my tooth extraction as well as a tooth filling. And ‘yes’ they are surely gentle!

Experiencia fantástica: Erica was awesome. I was late due to traffic and she called to make sure I was safe while driving.

Experiencia fantástica: The reception is very welcoming at Gentle Dental. The dentist, or my dentist Erika, is very nice and very caring. Great staff

Experiencia fantástica: Great dental office! Friendly and helpful staff. Erica is an excellent dental hygienist, very energetic.

Experiencia negativa: I prefer to give this dentist no stars at all. Don't waste your time and money. Don't fall for the $57 new patient SCAM. The staff at the front desk said I was down for a cleaning. The only reason why I made the appointment was for a cleaning and they had me believe I was getting a cleaning. Instead they just took x-rays and then tried to charge me $600 for a cleaning. The dentist was rude as well. They lied. I specifically asked her did my appointment include a dental cleaning. She said yes but it was all a lie. They lied to get money. Don't fall for it. It is a money scam and they should be reported to the Better Business Bureau.

Experiencia fantástica: I had 2 fillings done recently and couldn’t be more satisfied. The staff were wonderful and professional. 10/10 stars for the receptionist as well. Great conversation and knows how to make clients feel welcome. Thank you.

Experiencia negativa: i saw 2 of their dentists. Please be advised this place profiles people for race and gender so if your hair is nappy avoid. if you do go make sure you keep all your records. They are all about money, they will cause a problem and leave it if you don't hold them accountable and make you a patient for there greed. when they get caught in there tracks they will try to cover up. keep your records and take caution they will try to take advantage of you if you don't monitor them. get second opinion and good luck bunch of creepy dentists here

Experiencia negativa: Front desk employee assured my insurance will cover deep cleaning and filling on my tooth. But I am getting $$$ bills smh.

Experiencia fantástica: Had a very nice periodontist appointment here. Was seen right away, and Dr. Hoffman and Victoria were professional and clear in their recommendations. Above and beyond was Carmen, who was extremely attentive when I called for an appointment the other day, fit me in immediately, and then somehow - despite the hundreds of people I'm sure she has spoken to since - remembered my name. She was beyond warm, and really made my day. Thank you to all!

Experiencia negativa: My wife and I used to love Gentle Dental and they used to be convenient and flexible with timings and charge fairly. We have been going here for 5 years until a management / admin change. I have decent health insurance and have been trying to resolve a bom for the last 6 months but to no avail specially with the new management coming in. The amount itself has changed in last 1 month from $499 balance to $350 to back to $400 and all I’ve been doing here is preventative dental cleaning which I was told was all covered under health insurance. If this is the service of new management here and non consistency with pricing then my family will be moving out of Gentle Dental shortly. Beware with change in rates and pricing. I certainly hope they resolve it seeing this but only time will tell..
