I went here for a tooth that was crumbling and a tooth that already had a missing filling with the…read moreintention that he could fill the missing filling at the same time as he could fix the tooth that was breaking off in chunks. First: I thought it was a little weird they have you wear a blindfold for the actual sedation, but I thought it was just supposed to help the atmosphere or whatever. It would up being so you don't see the needle. The told me I would be out of it when I was being injected with any needles and wouldn't remember it because of the oral sedation, but unfortunately it's the only part I remember and I screamed because it was so painful. They should have warned me up front honestly about this, but they didn't do now I'm warning you. Secondly, I asked them to make sure to please use a stitch since we were removing a molar and I have poor wound healing. They said they would but when I woke up said they said they were unable to because my mouth was too small? What? I had my wisdom teeth out with stitches applied and there was NO issue there. Because they didn't use a stitch, I suffered a dry socket. It was painful but when I went back they didn't really even look and they were entirely dismissive. It took an additional two months to heal and the additional filling they did fell out. Because the work they did was so bad, I called them up and told them I wasn't comfortable getting my cleaning there and to cancel it and refund that portion of my bill. They tried REALLY hard to get me to reschedule but I have no intention of going back there. They refuse to refund the cleaning they didn't give me however. So basically I have no filling, took FOREVER and was super painful to heal my pulled tooth because bad technique- and no. I wouldn't recommend.

Beware. Beware. BEWARE. If I could rate Meena zero stars, I would. If you want the most shoddy and…read moreterrible work done on your teeth, go to her for your dental needs. In grad school, our dental insurance only covered few dentists around worcester...so many of us had no choice but to go to Dr. Meena at her Pleasent Street dental practice for dental work. Most of my classmates actually had to have things fixed by another dentist soon after due to what Meena did to their teeth. I thought I had avoided any catastrophes. Until today.... I had a dental emergency where one of my fillings just came out while chewing gum... with it a chunk of tooth. Went immediately to my new dentist to figure out what was going on and how to remedy the situation. This filling in this particular tooth was worked on by Meena...she would bully her patients around and wear them down until they would let her redo all their fillings (going from metal to composite). I am SO ANGRY I let her refill my old filling....because her awful shoddy work is why I needed an extraction today! It was discovered that there was evidence of OLD FIBERS OF GAUZE left behind between the tooth and the composite filling! That's right! Fabric fibers! It allowed an environment for decay to happen which caused the whole filling to come out. My new dentist was shocked and appalled...and FURIOUS...at what led to my issue. I was not surprised AT ALL to look up and find Meena is under investigation with insurance companies due to patient complaints. What I AM surprised is how the heck she still has a dental medical license! Now I had to get an extraction along with a 3-tooth bridge because this tooth was one of my molars...and I need it for chewing. All in all...Meena's absolute garbage dentistry resulted in me being out a substantial amount of money after all the work needed to fix and replace the tooth (and that's with my good insurance). I am SO ANGRY that I was ever talked into letting her go anywhere near my mouth all those years ago. Besides her terrible work, she also has no idea how to run a practice. Back around 2010 she tried to cover up the fact that her then receptionist was committing insurance fraud by billing patients for the wrong things. In my opinion, this oversight means you're a terrible business owner and super sketchy. So...if you want to have garbage work done on your teeth and deal with a dentist who has checked out...yeah...go see Dr. Meena.

I have been a patient at Grace Family Dental since the facility was in the Park Avenue/Grove Street…read morearea. At the time, I could walk to the office--which was part of the attraction. The office moved to Grafton Street. I followed. Thirteen years later I am still a patient. Dr. Mundra and her staff are a joy to work with. In my case, my salivary glands became underachievers as a result of a medication I was prescribed. The number of cavities I got began to increase. But, as one of the hygienists put it, "it's our job to educate, not to judge." The hygienists were more than willing to teach how to protect my teeth. Swishing with water after eating; reducing sugar in the diet; showing me how to improve flossing and brushing techniques, and suggesting products (with coupons) that keep the mouth moist improved things nicely. As a result, I had fewer cavities. Plus, I lost fifteen pounds in eight months, and my A1C level is lower. Dentistry is truly important for the whole body. Thank you Grace Family Dental.

First the radio ad i heard( and keep hearing) for "buy 1 implant and get the 2nd one free" never came to fruition. I was given a per tooth cost only. Secondly he put two crowns on my bottom two front teeth that are the wrong color and were not properly prepared so they have both fallen off several times. Next he was doing a root canal that went horribly wrong and caused me more negative repercussions than i have room to include in this review !

Highland Dental. 64 Highland St., Worcester, MA Love it!!!…read more Dentist that worked on me; Dr. Adam Darvish I finally found a honest dentist!! Feeling awful, pain in tooth and gum. Calling dentists, all scared 'what-ifing' too much. A few dentists I contacted were rude, kind of heartless. I kept calling different dentists and searching on the internet trying to find someone that twill check my teeth 'today'. I decided to try Highland Dental after the receptionist on the phone seemed nice, respectful, caring. The dentist (a very young man, looked to be straight out of college) allowed me to walk in and get a x-ray. Only had to wait about 10 minutes. He discovered that it is sinus congestion and 'middle age lady' hot flashes causing the pain. I have noticed that the pain rarely occurs when not having a hot flash. And it travels to different teeth, but mainly on upper left side. Could not be sure if it was the tooth or the gum causing pain. This young man knows more about a lady's circulation, nervous system than many older doctors, and myself. He described how the blood flow... during a hot flash moves through the body, head... (I have heard that the nervous system and energy flow is also involved.) The dentist described how the sinus nerve is near that upper tooth nerve which has a filling. The filling is ok. No cavity. There is also a missing tooth (pulled in past) beside it and I suspect that chewing on the gum irritates the condition/nerve. The skin on gum is torn a bit. Dentist said the missing tooth can affect the nerve position 'or something like that, doctor/technical stuff explained'. But; its harmless. Such a relief to know what's going on. Now can relax. Been feeling sickish lately, and the fear of on and off what I thought was a cavity aggravated the sick feeling. Since the airport opened in Worcester, MA; sinus problems occur. I knew I had sinus for months, but kept brushing it off. The xray revealed it. I had this condition in the past in this city. Strangest air. (and water) Clears up when stay in a different location of Massachusetts; by Ocean, Boston or Spencer, Brookfield... I moved to Worcester years ago to be near my Mom and Auntie, entire family. Mom has gone to heaven as of last year. Auntie doing fine. Maybe will move permanently back to South Boston or Hampton NH. Ocean air! Salt water. I used a 'relaxation technique' to calm down and get into the dentist chair. (Which is hard most times due to neck injury 'caused by a corrupt chiropractor'). This dentist was very kind, understanding, allowed me to sit pretty much upright so my neck would not stiffen up, I would not get dizzy. My faith in doctors has returned. He is so nice! No arrogant, no egos. Just a real human being out there working for humanity. He did not try to sell me unnecessary things (such as mouth guards, antibiotics.... Root canals...) This is a honest dentist! There ARE good guys/ladies out there. Building has a handicapped ramp and office is on 1st floor. Entire atmosphere is conductive to relaxation and quickly solving the patient's condition. Took my insurance! Humana! No bill! I was ready to pay with MasterCard when I did not notice Humana on their online list. If you are not sure if they take your insurance; they may; so walk in. They also have online Internet forms; I was able to fill and print out at my home. This saved time in the office. 2 dentists from a different area of Worcester were going to use my credit card to pay for x-ray, filings... Highland Dental saved me a lot of money! Insurance paid entirely! UPDATE: Dentist again helped. I did more investigation and found out our building has toxic chemicals... Doctor advised moving. I got a new place to live. UPDATE - Aug-Sept 2017; That same tooth; I wish Highland would have refilled the old filling. They just said "they will keep a eye on it". I knew that was not a good decision. This year same tooth hurt and I got very ill. Not sure if was from the old filling or sinus problems living on Main str where there is a lot of air pollution... Went to a new dentist and he said he was concerned about the tooth. He took the old filling out and new in. Filled other small cavities. (See my other reviews for new dentist). I am better, but still get somewhat sick sometimes. So it cant be the tooth. Or the infection takes a while to heal. Lost sense of smell. Must be the air in this city, or my neighbor who smokes a lot of 'strange things'. Windows are closed in winter so wont get that smoke for 4 months. I suspect using Mass health, Medicare with Highland prevented him from doing full x-ray and filling the tooth. When I went to the new dentist in 2017; I paid with a credit card. This resulted in all teeth xrayed and new camera technology.., all fillings fixed. Thank you.
