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.

This is one of the BEST dental practices, and I really mean that. I moved away from Connecticut,…read moreand they thought I went somewhere else in Connecticut. 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

**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.

I brought my first child there for a procedure which went well. The post anesthesia care was a…read moredifferent story. They were clearly busy and in a rush to get my child out. He was still heavily medicated and tripped and stumbled his way out. I had to find a wheel chair on my own from the Yale office to get my sedated child safely to the car. Against my better judgement we took our youngest there too. I fully recognize that even using best practices there can be unwanted outcomes. When I expressed my concerns first to the nurse than the doctor that my child was reporting pain and was pounding on the arm rest to get them to stop or to acknowledge them and he was shushed and told to stop moving. Certainly there are limits to medication dosages and sometimes pain can happen. That is not the problem. Its the hubris and arrogance coupled with the gaslighting from staff. The reluctance to admit a complications. That is the problem. The doctor was better about it and had a reasonable explanation for every concern though was not apologetic/sympathetic that there were compications. The nurse was the real offender. Starting by saying my child was just being emotional. Minimizing this child's concerns and acting almost put out by my asking questions respectfully. Coastal has a nursing problem.

After a horrific experience with a pediatric dentist in my town I had to find a dentist for my 3…read moreyear old son. Thank God I found Pediatric Dental Associates of Southbury and Dr. Tony. The office is caring and not out to sell you anything your child doesn't need. After the horrific incident with the other dentist I didn't think my child, who's on the spectrum, would tolerate another visit with a dentist. After one visit, my child would be excited at the mere mention of Dr. Tony ("we going to see Dr. Tony mommy?" in the happiest child voice). Flash forward to teen years, my child's teeth are perfect with one cavity, straight and beautiful without the need for braces. Flash forward to my child's early 20s, my child had a bad issue with that one tooth. We called the office and due to Covid couldn't go in. We did a phone visit and a picture of the tooth was sent to them. They prescribed appropriately and the issue was gone. Flash forward to this week and due to my child's hard head the tooth flared up with a vengeance. I frantically called the office on Sunday and spoke to an angel, Dr. Elina Bilman. She's never seen my child but responded in a caring manner. Like the doctors in the past, with care and empathy, Dr. Bilman and the staff called the oral surgeon to give the referral, ordered the necessary meds and on Monday morning my child finally was able to look at me without that painful look in his eyes. I've never seen him like that. As a mom it was painful to watch. In conclusion, I'd like to say, if you care about the health of your child's teeth, the health of your wallet and the proven track record of not performing a service your child doesn't need thus bilking your insurance, go to Pediatric Dental Associates of Southbury. From the office staff to the very talented dentists working there, you and your child's experience will be a happy one. This office was far for us to travel being that we don't live in Southbury but well worth it.
