When I come to the dentist I'm usually extremely anxious and not in a good mood - especially when I have to get work done. Dr. Lally clearly communicates what to expect, understands where my anxiety is coming from, and makes me feel safe. She does a great job establishing trust and has done an awesome job filling my cavities - it was truly painless. Thank you Dr. Lally and your team for being the best!

I'm so grateful for the level of care and attention I received. Highly recommend!

I had two fillings done today with absolutely no discomfort. In addition, I was out in less than 40 minutes. I love this place! Update: My son had an appointment today and needed to have impressions taken for a new retainer. He has had these done twice before and really struggled with it. He suffers from anxiety and, like a lot of people, the dentist can be a very nerve-wracking experience especially when receiving a service that he doesn't enjoy. Eyrusalem took the impressions today and did an absolutely phenomenal job. She kept him calm and distracted and had so much patience with.

I would recommend literally any other dentist in the area of these folks. The quality of care has…read morebeen so inconsistent and on such a rapid decline I can't even begin to fully review it. Because these people failed to accurately do my medical intake - I almost had a 5k dollar expenditure. I had been a patient at GHDP-Somerville for nearly 10 years. My first dentist was fantastic, he left. My second dentist, fantastic, he left. My subsequent dentists all mediocre to poor. I had a number of primary dentists here, so many changes to my service that I lost track of how many there were. The quality of hygienists, awful. Cleanings took longer stopped being comprehensive - my last cleaning I had to remind the hygienist they missed the entire bottom left of my mouth. The last... and I mean absolute last straw was my experience with Dr. Tsering DMD. I finally decided to move on. After my cleaning, they discovered I had a filling that had failed\broken and were intent on fixing it. As they started taking my blood pressure, I noted several times to the hygienist that they had my sleeve in the pressure cuff, so they weren't going to get an accurate response. I also insisted on them using a larger cuff (I have larger biceps and triceps) to get an accurate reading - they refused, ignored everything I said... and got a bonkers blood pressure reading. They insisted on me getting a primary care visit before they would fill the cavity. A month goes by, I cannot get an appointment. I tried to get it scheduled and was rather rudely dismissed by "Patrick" at the front desk when I called and explained that the tooth needed to be addressed. This was just before Christmas, it took me until mid February (nearly four months from the start) to get a new primary care dr. and a visit who said... the same thing every one of my doctors has ever said "Make sure they are using a right size cuff" I switched to another dentist closer to home - he filled the cavity last week and to quote him "You're lucky, I was barely able to fill this it may still need a root canal, we should watch this very closely" Go literally ANYWHERE ELSE

Such an average/older looking dental office yet such great dentists!…read more Saw Dr. Grace for fillings today, amazing experience. She not only took care of my fillings, but even polished and took off the stain I had on a few teeth from having braces decades ago. no one else I've seen before cared to tell me or do it for me. She informs you of everything she's going to do, push the teeth, you'll feel something sour in your mouth, etc. So you know exactly what to expect and wont be surprised. I really enjoyed my visit today, left so happy. Saw Dr. Grossman in the hallways too and he asked if I needed help, seems like a nice dentist also!

So I left, and I went to a new dentist the next day and they saved my tooth with no problem and said the tooth was not broken at all! Besides this, as if anything could be worse, my first appointment they told me to come in one half hour early. So I did and then they just had me sit there for an hour and a half before they finally took me in for my appointment! The place always smells bad, and is dirty. Bad experience all around. You feel like you're in some shack in Calcutta! So depressing... But the owner/dentist is the worst! He clearly doesn't care about his patients when he just wants to pull teeth that can easily be saved! Thank God I ran for my life! So happy now with my new dentist!

My Cleaning went very well and was way easier than I ever remembered. This is a very clean environment with state-of-the-art equipment.

They checked the proposed treatment with my insurance and a week later told me how much will cost. The surprise was to learn that the endodontist who saw me originally left the group and there will be another doctor doing the root canal. It was also weird that it was my decision to do the root canal or not - so far I do not experience any pain or infection despite the fact that the pulp seems to be exposed. They do not perform PFM crowns, only all ceramic . Was surprised to learn that the crown price is the same no matter what material will be used - ceramic or zirconia. Overal a good experience but now I wonder if I should ask another doctor for a second opinion: do I need a root canal or not?

I'm writing this review because the owner called me and made me feel very uncomfortable on the…read morephone while I was at work, even after I was told that the issue was resolved the previous day. He never asked about what had happened or what I had been told by the office, but just seemed focused on money (as another yelp review states below) and stated that my insurance was "weird" and "difficult" and that they had "lost money" on my like 3-minute cavity check). You need to realize that the office is in a position of power and please be respectful to everyone. A few months I called and was told that they would check on a cavity as part of my next cleaning at no additional charge (because it would take 10 seconds) and they were nice enough to move up my appointment. When I showed up for my appointment, they said they didn't have time for a cleaning and they checked inside my mouth for about 4-6 seconds and said everything was fine. I confirmed before (over the phone and in person) that it would be complementary (because it would take 10 seconds). They then charged me and billed my insurance for a full exam. The reason for this review is that the office has been frustrating and very needlessly time-consuming to work with; in addition to the phone call, on at least 4 different occasions I was told something would happen (we will call you later today of by tomorrow; we will email you in the next few hours) and nothing was done. Emails weren't sent with names in the signature so I was never sure who I was emailing with. In the future, just say "We're sorry this happened. You were told it would be a cleaning but instead we made a mistake with the schedule and we apologize for this. Good news is at we were able to do a 15-second check on your cavity we installed, and because this was only 15 seconds and because you were misled into thinking that it would be a complementary part of a cleaning, we won't be charging you or your insurance for those 15 seconds." All the dentists and orthodontists I had growing up, would check on a cavity that they installed for free if it took 5-10 seconds. If they saw something that looked more alarming we would go from there and possibly book a longer exam in the future. I may delete this review in the future, and wish everyone the best with no hard feelings. Goodbye.
