I needed to have 5 wisdom teeth removed (yes, I'm part shark, apparently) and South Shore Oral…read moreSurgery was amazing. At my consultation, they guided me through every concern I had, answering all of my questions with clear, concise replies. On the day of my surgery, they got me in the chair, prepped me for my procedure and then, like I snapped my fingers, I was in the recovery room. I asked my friend, who was giving me a ride home, when they were going to start the surgery, and he laughed, saying it was over. I had concerns regarding pain during my recovery, but the staff took care of me and my recovery was easy and virtually painless. If you need an extraction done, go to South Shore Oral Surgery; they are patient, kind, and understanding about the worries of their patients. Just be honest with them and don't be afraid to ask questions.

The front desk ladies are wonderful. Especially Lynn! Lynn worked with my dentist office to ensure I got the care i needed. The doctors and the rest of the staff in the back are great. The whole process probably took like 30-45 mins. They had me laying down in the back to allow me the needed time to wake up. Karly was more than helpful and made sure my wife and I got into the uber safely. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. They quoted me a little cheaper than my dentist office did which was great! I was worried about going to a new place and because I saw a couple one star reviews but most regarding the front desk. Which I did not experience at all. I 100% recommend this place!!

I haven't seen such an old-fashioned blood pressure monitor in the last 20 years -- it's clear they haven't invested in maintaining or updating the facility. Our consultation felt rushed and impersonal. We were shown a short video, and when Dr. Juvet came in, it felt like we were bothering him by asking questions. He seemed eager to move on to the next patient. Despite our concerns, we went ahead with the wisdom teeth removal because our regular dentist had referred us. In hindsight, we should have trusted our instincts and gone elsewhere. When we returned for the extraction of the top two wisdom teeth, the nurse was kind, but Dr. Juvet remained distant and dismissive. I had asked him to be gentle, as my daughter was already crying after receiving four injections without much explanation or reassurance from the doctor. Unfortunately, he proceeded quickly and without sensitivity. He pushed her head from side to side during the procedure instead of guiding her gently or asking her to move -- which made us question whether he is only used to patients with full anesthesia, which my daughter didn't have . He offered no explanation during the process, and didn't even speak with me afterwards to explain how the procedure went. My daughter left the office shaking and in tears -- and she is not someone who is typically emotional. The lack of communication, care, and professionalism was deeply troubling. If you're looking for a provider who respects patients and takes the time to treat them with compassion, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere. This felt more like a factory than a place of care.

A friend told me that there is a whole chapter of Moby Dick dedicated to describing how white the…read morewhale is. Apparently, he's right - chapter 42. I bring this up because I'm the type that will take something small and write a chapter's worth of text detailing it. While not 100% perfect, all things considered, I had an excellent experience with Dr. Gu and the office at Oral Surgery South. While I'm sure having wisdom teeth out is fairly routine for the office, for me, the word "surgery" is rather anxiety-inducing. Since I had five of the buggers, including one horizontal, it wasn't as simple as having your regular dentist grab the Novocain and a pair of pliers. A man can dream. In my initial consultation, a panoramic x-ray was taken, I was then shown a video about wisdom teeth extraction which covered the procedure and some FAQs. After the video, Dr. Gu and a couple nurses/medical assistants came in to review the x-rays and answer any questions. I sit here now saying that all my questions were answered, and,\ Dr. Gu stood by his medical opinions (I've had Dr.'s lead with "What do you want to do"). The anxiety made it feel a little rushed, but again, no question went unanswered. Finally, I was given instructions to prepare for surgery and got a text from my pharmacy that the medication was ready before I left the office. The surgery itself was thankfully uneventful. I don't remember a thing! I think the anesthesia given makes you forget everything, but you're technically still awake. The doctor apparently stopped in post-op, but I still under and didn't remember. Would have been nice if he also stopped when I had come to - but I realize this would be more for my psychological comfort than for medical need. For the post-op experience, I felt a little ill-prepared. On the flip side, the office was been beyond wonderful and patient with my calls and answering any post-op questions or concerns. No waiting half a day for a callback, but answers in a minute or so. First, loss of taste. I knew Novocain made you completely numb, but a loss of taste was rather scary. All it took was a call, I got to speak with Dr. Gu himself, and I was assured this was to be fully expected. Second, A medication which **might** be needed post-op wasn't sent to the pharmacy the day of the surgery as I was told in the consultation. Thankfully I didn't end up needing it at all, and I'm sure all it would have taken was a call to the office. Still - if it is standard practice and I had needed it late that night, it would have been nice knowing when to expect it. Then there were jelly clots. These are exactly as 'delightful' as they sound, and I won't go into detail in case some of you all are queasy. During the consultation, I would have liked to know these are a possibility and how to prevent or combat them. Still, I have to give the office massive props. When I called with this problem, not knowing what it was, and thinking my gums had swollen over my teeth, they got me in that morning. Dr. Gu took a look to make sure everything was okay and answered a couple other small concerns I had. He did offer me to come in a couple weeks to laser off extra/slightly swollen gum tissue, but this ended up going away on its own, and no lasering was needed. About a month after the surgery, I found I was no longer thinking about the missing teeth. Everything had more or less returned to normal. While the bone grows in, a tiny bit of food seems to have a tendency to pause in the empty space, but this is minor and increasingly rare.

Talk down to the customer instead of listening to the customer…read more Suggested unnecessary procedures. ( I thought doing that went out in the 1970's ) High prices. A simple 15 minute consultation with x-rays I supplied via my dentist as $185.

ClearChoice Dental Implant Center - Part of my implants that's fallen out

ClearChoice Dental Implant Center

ABSOLUTELY TOP NOTCH…read more We first came to Clear Choice Quincy after researching several other options. We had been to three other dentists and also to Tufts Dental School. My teeth were such a disaster and I only had a few left and they were falling out. There was nothing to save and so everyone was suggesting that I needed to pull all my remaining broken teeth and have implants. Tufts was willing to take me on as a dental school patient, but even with the reduced fees they offer, it was off the charts expensive and it would have taken two years. The other dentists advised me the work would have taken about 18 months. I was heartbroken. The money was very challenging, but so was the fact it would take two years to have this process happen. I was thinking my only option was going to be dentures. As a last ditch effort we came to Clear Choice Quincy and met with them. It definitely had a bit of a "sales pitch" vibe on the first day when we met with the sales team and watched the video in the little room, but the staff was so amazing and so professional that they rinsed that vibe away quickly and made us willing to really listen to the options and the procedure and how it worked. Don't let the video and the sales pitch sway you. The doctors and staff are what make a place and Clear Choice Quincy is so much more than just the Clear Choice name. The place works true miracles. The first doctor we met was Dr. Marinis and he was very kind and empathetic and Naomi, the assistant was so gentle and nice. We did 360 X-rays and the doctor spent about an hour with us, going over everything, explaining all my issues. There was a lot of time spent and a lot of patience with us and all our questions. They explained to us the entire process and their professionalism and expertise were palpable and obvious. We felt we were in very good hands. When we went back for the smile design appointment we met with Dr. Marinis again and Amy, another wonderful member of the surgical team. Again, they took a lot of time and it was obvious they really cared and took pride in their work and in helping people heal. I went back for my surgery and Dr. Gu, the surgeon, was amazing and an expert in his field. I had full uppers and lowers done and all my remaining teeth (18) pulled. Dr. Weber and Dr. Marinis then worked on placing the implants and getting everything perfect. I was back at work three days later and have no regrets. It is a VERY expensive procedure, but actually was less than what Tufts Dental and other dentists had quoted and there were no surprises or hidden fees. This place is organized and does not mess around. I left my procedure and on that very day, after fifty years, I had a smile. I have been having to learn how to smile because it is not something I ever did. I just had my two-week post-operation appointment with Dr. Webber and everything is healing beautifully and I was only in pain for about a week. I am being very strict about my diet and only eating soft foods as instructed, but it is obvious the surgeons and other doctors really know what they are doing. A body doesn't heal this fast without experts doing the surgery. Huge shout out to everyone there. I also am very grateful to Shannon, the office manager, who helped us with every little and minor detail. We travel from far away and she always accommodated our schedule and was available by email any time day or night or weekend. This dental practice works like a well-oiled machine and every person there is an absolute professional. They should be very proud of what they are doing. The science is incredible and I think in a few years it will be what everyone decides to do. Why wait two years with lots of procedures when you can get it all done in just a couple of visits? What was a very unknown, scary, expensive, daunting process has become one of the best choices I have ever made. If I had known in the beginning what I know now, I would have only had to meet with one dentist and would have done this years ago. Clear choice Quincy really is the best choice. I will always be grateful and I have no regrets. If you find yourself in this situation please do yourself the service of going and meeting with the Clear Choice Quincy team. You will be so glad you did!

My first experience was excellent, Not until my last day where I finally was getting my permanent…read moreteeth. It was supposed to be to be happy occasional, but instead it was horrible. I explained that my teeth had rough edges on all four sides, Dr Webber filed down one of the 4 sides, and kept asking me if I was all set, I proceeded to tell him that the other sides were rough also, to my surprise Dr Webber started to yell at me saying I told him it was one tooth only, He finally filed the other sides and I think he added a filling to all 4 teeth, and again asked me in a very bad tone if I was all set at that point I just got up and called him very rude. Now one of the tooth that he filed down cracked, called the Woburn office several weeks with no response I finally went there and they telling me my teeth are not under warranty. When I signed up in Quincy Stephanie told me they were all guaranteed. Now I'm dealing with the Woburn office to see if they can fix my tooth without a charge. My permanent teeth were put on 8/12/26

When I first called, I was offered a virtual consultation the following day, which I completed thinking I would be able to schedule an in-office visit shortly after. However, I was told the next available appointment was about a month away. Although that was frustrating, I still scheduled it. Later, my sister received a follow-up text from the office about confirming an appointment. She also had reached out to inquire about Invisalign. But By that time they finally replied to her, she had already decided to move forward with another dental office, so she asked if I could take that available slot instead. The office replied saying that would be fine. However, when I was about five minutes away from the office, the receptionist, Hannah, called and said there had been some confusion and that I should keep my original appointment. That was extremely frustrating because I had already rearranged my schedule and was on my way. It didn't make sense that I was told I could come in if I ultimately couldn't be seen to conduct the appointment in its entirety. When I eventually had my appointment, the doctor and the back-of-house staff were very kind and professional. The visit itself was going well, and I told the doctor I wanted to move forward with Invisalign. I was then told it would take about four weeks for the trays to come in. I've had Invisalign before and know it often takes closer to two weeks, but I was still willing to proceed. The biggest issue came when discussing payment. I was given four payment options, and I asked if I could use my dental insurance and pay the remaining balance with my CareCredit card. I was told that wasn't possible. They mentioned they asked the doctor and apologized, but the answer remained no. I've never experienced a dental office being so restrictive about how a patient chooses to pay. It also makes the promotion offered very misleading considering that's not what's advertised. Overall, while the doctor and clinical staff were pleasant, the confusing scheduling, poor communication, and inflexible payment policies made the entire experience frustrating and ultimately felt like a waste of time. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this office.
