Gentle Dental Arlington Reviews

  • Ruby

    Gentle Dental Arlington

    Went today for my first appointment and have already scheduled my next cleaning with the same hygienist Tracy! The facility was clean and the staff were all extremely upbeat and knowledgeable. They explained everything, plus you can follow along with a monitor at your chair as they input your information. Their philosophy is also very conservative and I trust their care and treatment recommendations.

  • Roxi

    Gentle Dental Arlington

    Everyone from the front desk staff to the hygienist and assistants and Dr. Alikpala were helpful, friendly and gentle. This last part was especially important for someone like me who normally is petrified of going to the dentist. They made it easy and painless.

  • Doreen

    Gentle Dental Arlington

    Yesterday, I had the second part of a root canal procedure performed by Dr. Saviano, at Gentle Dental in Arlington, MA. This was a procedure that I had put off for some time as I was skeptical about who would be working with me, but I need not have worried because I found that Dr. Saviano was experienced and meticulous in her craft, plus, her very capable assistant Trey, made the whole team operation go smoothly and without a hitch.

  • Michele

    Gentle Dental Arlington

    My dentist, Dr. Alikpala in Arlington, is caring and knowledgeable. She always makes sure I’m comfortable, explains the procedure, and makes sure I don’t have any questions about the treatment plan. She takes the time to show you pictures of your teeth and why she recommends a certain procedure. The dental office staff is friendly and even with a simple little filling, I will get a call later that day to make sure I’m okay. Dr. Alikpala and her team are fantastic.
