Featured Reviews for Braintree, MA

Jennifer

Gentle Dental Braintree

I had a wonderful experience at this dental office. I am a new patient. I walked in and was seen by the doctor, Dr. Ambrose along with the hygienist, for a full exam and was scheduled for treatments needed on the care plan we developed together. The next day had some work done on a front tooth and was AMAZED with the results. Thank you Gentle Dental Braintree Team! The reception staff is very professional and nice.

Sam

Gentle Dental Braintree

I have been going to Gentle Dental for several years, and all of my experiences with Dr. Shapiro and staff have been positive. Front Desk staff team is always very friendly and quick to assist with any dental emergencies and accommodating with my schedule. Dr. Shapiro is a great dentist.

John

Gentle Dental Braintree

I met with a great dentist that took digital x-rays of my teeth, and then showed me my problem teeth on a large computer screen. He advised that I have a root canal. I am so thankful they offer sedation dentistry or I probably would have not followed through to schedule an appointment for the following week. I love that I can call Gentle Dental MY dentist!

Emily

Gentle Dental Braintree

The dental practice is clean, the staff is caring, attentive and made me feel comfortable. The dentist explained the procedure for dental implants in a way I could understand. He took his time to make sure all my questions were answered. The staff provided me with alternative payment options since my insurance did not cover the procedure. I now have the smile I have always wanted! A wonderful doctor and a great staff equals a great experience.
