I had no concerns…read moreother than just wanting to get a cleaning and to get back in the habit of regular dental visits. I let them know I was pregnant when I made the appointment. Knowing how long it had been since I had been in, and that they would not be willing to give me x rays due to pregnancy, and that they would not do a cleaning without x rays, they none the less still scheduled me for the cleaning and then pulled a bait-and-switch after I arrived. The dental hygienist told me they could do a "light exam" which she proceeded to make sound like would include some degree of cleaning. And then we could do x rays and the remaining cleaning procedures in a follow up visit after baby came. In reality, the light exam consisted of the dentist sticking her finger in my mouth for a few seconds--she didn't touch or look at any of the tools and i'm not convinced she even examined my teeth--and then lectured me for 15 minutes with generic advice with no comments on my actual dental health. I presume she did just enough to charge my insurance as if they had actually provided me a service, without committing fraud. In hind sight it is clear there was no chance they would be doing any cleaning, despite what they presented to me. I would recommend finding someone else as I consider this dishonest and unscrupulous. I will be finding a new dentist.

**DENTAL IMPLANTS FELL OUT WITHIN DAYS - Extremely Disappointed**…read more I had a terrible experience with New Haven Dental Group in Hamden. I had two dental implants placed last August, but they fell out within days. I reached out to the office immediately, only to be informed that the doctor was on vacation in Italy and that I would have to wait until his return. When I requested to see another doctor, I was told I would have to wait two weeks for the original doctor to come back. Despite making several requests to be seen sooner, I was repeatedly told that I had to wait. During this two-week period, I suffered without care, and it felt like my well-being didn't matter to them. I endured over two weeks of discomfort, including bleeding and aching gums. Eventually, after escalating my concerns to their parent company, 42 North Dental, I received a refund four months later.

After receiving the last bewildering message I contacted them back to reconfirm my original time. Needless to say not a good first impression

If I could rate negative stars I would. I went in for a routine visit that resulted in two fillings…read moreon my right-side molars. Shortly after, I experienced severe cold sensitivity and pain when chewing. I returned twice between July and October and was only told the tooth needed filing and to try Sensodyne - no further evaluation was done. I eventually sought a second opinion, where X-rays showed the filling was not sealed properly and decay had not been fully removed. The filling had to be redone, and I later needed an emergency root canal after my bottom molar died and caused a systemic infection. I will now also need a root canal on the top molar. Neither tooth caused issues before the original fillings. I've been a patient here since childhood, but this experience has cost me over $4,000 and months of pain. I do not trust the quality of care and cannot recommend this office.

The problem is, when I went to retrieve my dental records, THEY REFUSED TO GIVE THEM TO ME. This was quite a problem for me, extremely frustrating, and the new dentist had to be able to figure out everything. The records were promised to me at first, and they sent an X-ray and the rude office staff said "that's all you're getting, that's all we have to do," My teeth are quite complicated due to surgeries. The office manager was unavailable many times, and never returned phone calls. After this horrible situation, THEY ARE GETTING A ZERO RATING. Reported to The American Dental Association who were also USELESS. Be very careful here. 0 STARS FOR DIFFICULT PEOPLE

I have been to different dentists over the years. Some were recommended and others I picked because…read morethey were either in network or local. This was both. My dental insurance has an app to help with narrowing down things such as customer reviews, in network and pricing. So keeping that in mind, I decided to try this place. The bonus being that it is in my neighborhood, too. I went for my first appointment and evaluation of what needs to be done. When I set my appointment, they suggested I come at least 15 minutes earlier. I usually do that as a rule anyways. My first encounter upon entering was the receptionist. She greeted me and said, "Welcome to our office!" She also greeted me by name. In the past, at other dentists, I have usually encountered the, "What's your name and what time are you here for?" Even if I had been a patient for a while. My first time here, I was treated with such high regard. But seriously, these employees were happy and inviting. I was told that I wouldn't have a long wait and I could relax and read any of the myriad of magazines available in the next room. I didn't wait long and was led to a room at my appointed time. The dental hygienist introduced herself and asked me various things about my dental history and questions I answered on the paperwork they had me fill out. We chatted for a short bit and she said she would be taking some X-rays and that Dr. Palchik would be in soon after that. X-rays didn't take long, then in came Dr. Palchik. Her and the hygienist had gone through them and she explained to me what she saw. We decided on a plan of action and made plans for another appointment. She was positive and energetic and made me feel at ease. She even checked out what my insurance covers on her system and gave me an idea of what one of my procedures would cost before and after insurance. I have been back for an emergency appointment, a cleaning and crowns. I have never felt as comfortable at a dentist as here. They work with you and your insurance and budget and make sure you are happy with their work. I highly recommend this office.
