WELCOME WOBURN PATIENTS

We wanted to provide you with some important news about our practices. Effective July 1st, 2023, Gentle Dental Woburn, 474 Main Street, Woburn, MA 01801, will be joining together with Gentle Dental Burlington. Gentle Dental Woburn will relocate, and the Main Street location in Woburn will close. Gentle Dental Burlington, 184 Cambridge St., Burlington, MA 01803 is 10 minutes away and is conveniently located on Cambridge Street.

Your continued care is our priority, and we are excited to join these two practices together to offer more comprehensive multi-specialty dental care to our patients.

Gentle Dental Burlington is a well-established practice. Joining together Woburn and Burlington locations will provide patients with access to additional doctors, appointment availability, specialists, and newer technology. Dr. Kim is the Dental Director and provides general dentistry services along with Dr. Zheng. Burlington will also provide expanded services as Dr. Smith provides Orthodontic treatment, Dr. Park provides Periodontal treatment, and Dr. Smolyar provides Endodontic treatment. All doctors have been communicated with closely regarding patient treatment plans by the Woburn team.

All patients (except those covered by MPE Delta Dental) who receive care at the Gentle Dental Woburn location will now receive care at the Burlington location. All MPE Delta Dental patients will be given the choice of receiving care at our Gentle Dental Medford or Gentle Dental Somerville locations. Both locations are within 10 miles of the Woburn location.

All locations, Woburn, Burlington, Medford, and Somerville are Gentle Dental practices and are all 42 North Dental-supported practices. This means the experience will be seamless for patients with records and x-rays immediately available with no lapse in treatment. Patients can arrive in the new location without needing to transfer records. All offices provide the highest level of dental care and patient experience.

At your next appointment, you simply need to show up to the new location at 184 Cambridge Street in Burlington and we will show you around the new space and introduce you to the dental team.

We look forward to welcoming you to Gentle Dental Burlington and continuing our legacy of exceptional dental care for our patients.

Best,

The dental care team at Gentle Dental Woburn

Frequently Asked Questions

When is this change effective?

This change is effective July 1st, 2023.   

Why is Woburn joining the Burlington location?

All Gentle Dental locations share the commitment to a patient-first approach. By joining together, we can provide more appointment availability, invest in our facility and technology, and utilize a larger, easily accessible location to better serve the communities.

Is the Woburn location still open?

Patients can still call Gentle Dental Woburn for questions and appointments while patients will receive care at Gentle Dental Burlington. Patients will no longer be seen at 474 Main Street location, which will be closed. Woburn has joined Burlington and remains part of the Gentle Dental family. The dental care team is now ready to treat you at the Burlington location.

I’d like to have my medical records transferred to a new dentist that’s not a 42 North Dental supported practice. What do I need to do?

At any time if you need to transfer your records simply call our office directly and a patient care representative will walk you through the process of requesting a records release. There will be no charge for this service. You can also be assured that we keep all records securely stored for 8 years as required by law and you can request them at any time. There is no immediate rush or concern.

What does this change mean for a current Woburn patient?

You’ll visit Gentle Dental Burlington for your dental care, where you can continue having access to specialists and expanded hours, including weekends and evenings. Your records, x-rays, and treatment plans will be available to Gentle Dental Burlington. There’s no additional action you need to take.
