    I would highly recommend Gentle Dental, Jamaica Plain. This office has been my dentist of choice for a number of years now and the reason is they provide high quality service in a professional, caring, and nurturing way. The receptionist that greet you are welcoming, friendly, and kind. My hygienist, Dee is exceptionally good, and makes sure all my dental concerns are addressed with the utmost professionalism, efficiency, and care.

    Fantastic experience from the beginning. The front desk staff was amazing. The dental staff was outstanding. I was not the best patient for a few reasons, but the endodontist and assistant did a fantastic job doing a tough job. They were patient, professional and just nice. Highly recommend the facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between an orthodontist and a general dentist?

While both are dental professionals, orthodontists undergo additional training (usually 2–3 years) after dental school to specialize in correcting bite and alignment issues.

At what age should a child see an orthodontist?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an evaluation by age 7. Early visits help detect potential alignment problems even if treatment isn’t needed right away.

How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?

Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of the case but typically ranges from 12 to 36 months.
