This was absolutely NOT the case with my first visit to Cross Street Family Dentistry... I was floored from the moment I walked into the door by the 2 receptionists with the most upbeat and responsive attitudes. No personal phones, no ignoring, they were there to make your experience Quick, fun and made you feel like you were immediately a part of this dentistry family. We then met the hygienist who was quite possibly the nicest person I have ever met. She made my son extremely comfortable with the situation right away by recognizing that he loved spider man then handed him a brand new spider man tooth brush! Her calm demeanor helped tremendously. Before we knew it, she was done and my son did great! No crying at all. She made our first visit a great one and now he's excited to go back! Dr. Hong came in acting like he wanted to compete for the hygienists nicest person award. As soon as he walked in he started talking to hunter like he knew him for years. My son immediately recognized that this guy is pretty cool, and let Dr. Hong do his work. He also answered all my questions and let me know what to expect going forward. And just like that we were done! My son got to pick out a prize for being such a big boy and then we were off with a new spider man tooth brush and a bracelet in hand. If you are looking for a new family practice in the north Shore area, I would highly recommend Cross Street Family Dental. You cannot get an easier experience anywhere else with your children.

Many RED flags about this office. The first is signing a WAIVER, so they are not at fault if…read moresomething goes terribly wrong. They ignore any documented outside infections that may involve the gums or teeth. Altered imaging, which is highly illegal! I have imaging from other recent dentists that prove otherwise and documented as UNDETERMINED to investigate by a proper qualified specialist such as a root tip infection which there was not. They are likely to push a root canal and crown done by their specialists. I also noticed that during a cleaning that tiny parts of tooth were missing in between filings as they were there before they started. I have proof. This is likely to start a future infection such as a treament like a root canal or fillling. They use a vibrating tool that's more like an ingraving machine you would use to etch writing on a metal tool like a wrench. The pieces I picked up off my tongue were clear and not yellow or white which would indicate tarter build up and noticed pieces missing between my filling on one tooth, which was always there for years, noticing it with my tounge and it was sharp too. DO NOT USE THIS TOOL FOR CLEANING! It likely damages the enemal and creates cavities! Yes, it's effective to remove tartar build-up but can do much more damage than a pick and rotary toothbrush. This is often witnessed by others who have treatment with this tool. Avoid it in other places, too. If they can't answer you, then walk away and note it in a review. To sum up, this practice has offered me root canals for unesesary work were the teeth dont hurt, there is no visible infection on the gums teeth or even recent or current history when in comparison. You get a different dentist every time and have no idea what the last practitioner did. They likely deform good teeth for profit! There is much more I did not mention here when compared to other dental practices that were current and I've had over the years, so please use your own caution judgments and inform yourself everything about a practice before making clear judgments. I have also noticed a reduction in patents in the waiting area and ease of getting a much sooner appointment within a days, not weeks or months time which is an indicator of a mass of clients leaving to go elsewhere since about 2021 or so. They are not all honest, so choose your dentist carefully.

Dr. Khan and her team are fantastic.

Dr. Khan is meticulous, her staff understands and anticipates her needs and the need for perfection, so much so that an x-Ray was re-taken for not being up to snuff prior to Dr. Khan even coming in for an exam. The cleaning was painless, expedient, and extremely well done. I recommend this practice and Dr. Khan to anyone in and out of the area.

I keep going there regardless of where I live and regardless of Groupon or Living Social deals you…read morecan often find for other dentist offices. This place is great and they really care about the patients. I did my invisalign treatment with them: drove from Arlington to Lynn every 5-6 weeks to change the trays; I did so many teeth cleanings I can't even remember how many; I did wisdom tooth extraction and so on and so forth. Stas Tokarev is an awesome dentist and he knows how to do it all. He even took me back with the inflammation and fever after I made a "brilliant" decision to switch to some renowned dentist in Lexington, who didn't do a good job extracting one of my wisdom teeth and so I got infection, and then successfully destroyed my digestive system by taking antibiotics for 3 weeks following the Lexington genius orders. Now regardless of how much is the drive, I don't give it another chance and go to the Adults & Children Dental care for all my dental needs. Great place!

I think I'm something of an expert when it comes to accessing dentists/periodontists/orthodontists,…read moreetc. A baby boomer, I've been to so many of them over the years that a former dentist referred to me as the "million-dollar mouth" because I've had so much work done. It's true; I could be driving a Ferrari--a fleet of Ferraris--with what I've invested in crowns, caps, root canals, implants (5 so far), and more. However . . . all that changed when I began visiting Essex Street Dental. After a few visits, Lori the hygienist had my (red, swollen) gums nice and pink, just like in the toothpaste ads. Prior to that, I figured I was doomed to painful, excruciating periodontal surgery. (At one session years ago, the periodontist injected novocaine into the ROOF of my MOUTH! ) Thank God I don't have to go through that again, although if I ever had to, I would want it to be at Essex St. Dental. Dr. Casiglia is very handy with a needle and probably gives the least painful injections I've experienced. Matter of fact, the last time I was in the chair, I was actually unaware he'd given me the novocaine. This is coming from someone who's a shaking, quivering, nervous wreck in the dental chair. Essex St. Dental makes things easy. They're a one-stop-shop. Now you don't have to make a series of visits for an implant or crown. It's done in one visit. For crowns, they have invested big in what I call a "crown-cubator," a piece of advanced equipment that takes your tooth's measurements and creates a perfect crown--no going back for fittings; it's all done there. Last but not least, Dr. Casiglia also does Botox injections. Like my lengthy dental record, I go way back with Botox. In fact, when I had my first treatment, it didn't have the trademark Botox, it was basic botulism. That was more than 15 years ago and I've been a steady injectee, visiting cosmetic surgeons' offices all over the Boston area. Recently, for a reasonable sum, I got my forehead Botoxed by Dr. Casiglia. Usually I have to return to treat the stubborn crevice between my eyebrows. Last year I visited a Beverly cosmetic surgeon's office and returned THREE times. Nonetheless, the crevice remained, quite visible. Not so with my recent injections at Essex Street Dental. The proof is my smooth forehead. All in all, I have to say that Essex Street Dental's office is friendly, conscientious and professional. They won't let you down. I'm fortunate that I found them.

Truly excellent in almost every aspect. Dentist himself is engaging, talented, straightforward,…read morehighly educated in things other than just teeth. He's like the person at a house party that you always love getting a chance to talk with. Hygienists are really good - quick, efficient, communicative, gentle, and comforting if you're in pain. Front desk person is someone you think about all year as being one of the good people walking around this planet. Only issue I've had with them is an insurance billing fail, where they quoted me $550 for a procedure I had done, then later billed me for close to double that. The explanation was that my insurance had been maxed out, which apparently was true - but they should have seen that in advance and advised me accordingly. At any rate, they were very supportive of my lack of employment and let me work out a plan to pay it off in installments.
