After receiving one of those promotional cleanings/xrays from Gentle Dental, I was told that I…read moreneeded a few cavities filled, as well as an expensive gum grafting procedure. I didn't have insurance at the time, so this would have been very expensive. I decided to get a second opinion from Dr. Salusti, who was my dentist from back in high school. He informed me that I needed the cavities filled, but the gum grafting was not necessary. He told me to switch to a powered toothbrush to keep my gums from receding, and that he would monitor the gums to see if it got any worse. 8 months later and the procedure was not necessary, saving me a few thousand dollars. He even gave me advice regarding dental insurance. Salusti and his entire staff are very friendly, and seem to genuinely care about their patients. This office is a rare find, and I highly recommend them.

Hands down the best dentist that I have ever been to. Extremely personable, clean, and…read moreprofessional- everything you want from a doctor's office. I felt extremely welcomed and well informed. The doctor spent a lot of time getting to know me personally, my history, and goals for fixing my teeth. I've felt pressured in the past to get work done, but I felt like this place only recommends things that you actually need. I'm very sad that after moving away from Watertown, I now have to look for a new dentist! I recently called to have my x-rays mailed to me, and the receptionist (Susan) was so helpful! We ended up chatting for quite a few minutes as she wished me luck in my new area and made sure the xrays were clear enough to read before sending them out to me. I could go on and on.. you get the point. This is a very trustworthy dentist!

Dr. Peter Lee (Lee Wai C) is awesome! I got a tooth decay resulted from a bad filling that had fell…read moreoff recently. I needed a root canal pretty bad and my father recommended Dr. Lee since Dr. Lee had done good work with my father's teeth. My father told me Dr. Lee used to be a professor in a dental school in New York. So, I wouldn't doubt Dr. Lee's experience. There is another dentist in the same office whom is Dr. Peter Lee's brother. Dr. Lee was able to examine my bad tooth and performed the first root canal procedure on my first visit; 2 more visits are needed to complete the root canal and then another one for the crown. The price he quoted is much lower than the quote I got from another dentist who is much younger with less experience compared with Dr. Lee. The root canal was less painful than I expected and I am sure Dr. Lee's experience helped a lot to minimize the pain! It was not painful at all and nothing too scary except the burring smell and the high pitch drilling noise; no dentist can help with the last two unless if you are completely knocked out by heavy anesthesia... Dr. Lee is not the talkative type but he was extremely professional when answering all my questions and concerns about my root canal. He even told me not to brush my teeth for 30 minutes after consuming acidic foods and drinks such as orange juice, coke etc. The acid would soften the tooth enamel and should not be brushed immediate until the softness goes away after 30 minutes. You always learn something new! Most of Dr. Lee's patients are elders and Dr. Lee gives everyone extremely reasonable rates, so I personally think he is not in it for the profits and more for the joy of helping people! BTW, this is right next to the Brookline Centre street municipal meter parking lot so parking is always not an issue unless on a Red Sox game day. Warning, the parking lot uses payment machines and not individual meters; you pay at one of the machines and put the receipt on your car's dash.

I have diabetes and he took that into consideration when cleaning my teeth and the advice he offered me at the end of the appointment (something very few dentists have done over my life). It's described by others as a no-frills place, which I can see, but it's also a smaller, very clean, and well run business. The receptionist was efficient and very nice to me and the waiting room is pleasant to be in. They are one of the few dental practices in the area that takes MassHealth and actually has open appointments which I really appreciate. I had a lunchtime appointment and did have to wait a little bit before being seen, so if you're on a tight schedule this may not be the place for you. Otherwise, I have nothing but positive things to say!

The staff is very friendly, and Dr. Gallucci has a great chair-side manner and is very attentive, making sure I understood each step of the process and answered any questions I had. If he took my insurance I would switch to him as my regular dentist in a heartbeat (I still may switch and just pay out of my pocket, he's that good!) Be prepared for the "soft sell", first to try to get you to switch to him as your regular dentist, and also for the Zoom take-home maintenance kit with custom trays. A friend had already had Zoom elsewhere and strongly suggested the take home kit so I already was planning on going that route, but I'm confident had I declined that they wouldn't have been pushy about it.

This dental office was my most awful experience of recent years…read more They pushed a lot of dental work on me even though my teeth were in perfectly fine shape, and most importantly, I was pain-free. Shame on me, I suppose, for not getting a second opinion to determine whether this work was really necessary. Almost a year after I embarked on this journey, I can safely that I have been in pain on an off the entire time. One of the teeth that is next to one of the crown Dr. Gallucci worked was compromised during the course of the work, and had to be treated with a root canal. It still hurts on and off. Another crown he put in disturbed the tooth and that tooth has been also been hurting on and off ever since. Many, many thousands of dollars, two destroyed teeth, countless bottles of antibiotics and painkillers and months of pain later, I can only say that I wish I never walked into this office. I feel completely taken advantage of, and considering further options including legal action. Run away.

They even added a bit of fun to the visit, which made a huge difference. Playing Music for him made him even more comfortable It's such a relief as a parent to know that your child is in such kind and capable hands.

During the cleaning, the hygienist was quite rough and I was poked several times, which hurt. The appointment also ran much longer than expected, so my parking expired and I had to leave to move my car, and overall the visit took so long that I missed lunch and was extremely hungry by the end. After I returned, additional imaging was done by another assistant, which again took a long time and was uncomfortable because she took so many tries. While the dentist apologized and explained new patients usually take longer, it overall wasn't very reassuring. The whole experience felt so poorly managed. I left feeling sore, hungry, and stressed, and came home in tears. Because of this experience, I just can't return.

I had a very difficult case, and he was unsure at the beginning how much movement my teeth would have. He was honest about this up front and explained what I may or may not see in my final results. Such transparency I feel is very important in such an important health decision and financial investment, and made me trust Dr. Bader for treatment. I am proud to say that my teeth are perfect. He was able to perform advanced technical procedures other dentists may not have been able to, saving me from having any teeth pulled in order to free up space for more movement. He graciously gave me a whitening kit to take home (at no additional cost) and has always been very attentive and made himself accessible for any questions or concerns along the way. I could not be more pleased, even the hygienists for cleanings are the best I have ever worked with; professional, patient, and most importantly, very gentle during routine exams. I will be a client for life (assuming I never move away, I may not!).

As someone with over 20 fillings completed by 5 different dentists, I can firmly say Dr. Gluskin is absolutely the most knowledgeable, patient and understanding. I basically was running away from the needle and he brought me down for the work to be completed. As I prepared for pain and literally grabbed the chair harder than Thor could have, he began what was the most PAINLESS experience at the Dentist in my life. The filling was among the largest 3 I've had filled of the 20 or so, and it was the most "pleasant". I was comfortably laying throughout the experience. To boot, the filling feels natural - not sure if other people have experienced that super smooth weird filling-feeling, but this filling feels "natural" and "jaded" as opposed to be slippery/smooth surface. Dr. Gluskin gets my business for life.
