Great dentist. Very caring and friendly. Professional and honest. Great office environment as well.

Today I had the best experience at a dentist I could have ever imagined. I came to Dr Centrella's office hoping for toothache relief and came out feeling supported, educated, clean, and with a lot less pain. Dr Centrella took a lot of time out of his day to explain the correct way to care for my teeth. He showed me different techniques and made it simple for me to follow the same steps at home. His team is fantastic. The hygienist went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable while taking x-rays of my mouth and throughout my visit. The office manager found the best, most affordable way to me to pay for the visit found a quick time to come back, that aligned with my schedule, and made sure I had the antibiotics and pain medicines to recover while working. I am extremely impressed and will not be looking for another dentist! You will not regret going to see Dr Centrella and his team. read more

Dr. Centrella and his staff treat you like family! He's honest, straightforward, and he and the staff will make your visit as comfortable as possible. Believe me, visiting the dentist is not high on my list of recreational activities, but Dr. Centrella and staff have always helped me with my 'slight' dental visit anxiety. For emergencies, they will get you in the same or next day. In addition to being my regular dentist through a recommendation, he took care of me right away when I fractured a tooth. Not only does he take the time to explain things to you, but will also explain the procedure/care to your family members in the waiting room too. They are really great about providing follow-up calls because they care. The office is fantastic and the staff work really well together to make your visit a pleasant one! If you a looking for a great dentist, I highly recommend giving his office a call....your teeth will thank you! read more

I've been going to see Dr. C for about 15 years or so and thought I would let everyone know how great his practice is. Gerry is a Maldonian at heart, he takes pride in his patients teeth and will educate you at length about how important it is floss. His staff is fantastic, it's relatively easy to make appointments every 6 months and I can't say enough about having a good dentist. He fixed an old crown of mine that didn't look great from a previous dentist and if everyone took pride the way Gerry did, America would be a great country !!! Don't be surprised if he has his hands and tools in your mouth while asking you questions, I'm still not sure how he understands the answers...... If you are looking for a good dentist, look no further! read more

Great practice, Dr. C is very knowledgeable and helpful! My husband and I both go to see him and he makes every appointment as comfortable as possible considering you're at the dentist! The office space is small, but very clean and almost always take me in on time. read more

Hate dentist Dr Centralla work Thru my fears from past bad experiences with other dentists and done a great job helping me to get back to a pain free mouth read more

I went to Dr. Centrella several times. I walked out the door and never returned after he told me he would have to call me "Gummy" if I didn't take care of my teeth better. His wife was working as a dental hygienist there, and I felt she was quite rough and definitely crabby. Guess you don't have to worry about your job when your husband runs the joint. His attempt at educating his patients and humor was crude to say the least. Both he and his wife struck me as both unprofessional and rude. I can understand why the other reviewer would say it is easy to get an appointment there. read more

Person answering phone knows NOTHING. Asked if they take Masshealth, she didn't know and said would pass my info on and someone would get back. No one ever called back. Totally unprofessional. Try hiring someone intelligent to answer the phones. Says a lot about the practice. read more

The best dentist I ever had!! He has always been good routinely, but when I had an emergency he got me in right away and resolved my problem. I would recommend him to anyone. Not to mention the amazing staff who takes care of you from the moment you walk in the door, to the moment you walk out! read more

After some terrible visits to Gentle Dental in Malden Square a friend recommended Dr Centrella. One of the first things he asked me was " why are you so tense?". It was because I had been going to Gentle Dental where everything hurt, didn't look quite right, and cost too much. I have none of these problems with Dr Centrella. And between my boyfriend and myself I think we've received about every procedure there is- cleanings, extractions, fillings, etc. We both look way better than before seeing Dr Centrella. And unlike a chain dentist he is actually looking to help in ways that are less expensive and less invasive. Gentle Dental said my front teeth bondings needed to be replaced for hundreds of dollars, Dr Centrella buffed them up and filed the bottoms a little as part of my routine cleaning and they look great. The office has a really friendly family atmosphere for those of you who are sick of going to a dentist that makes you feel like you are at Walmart. Also, I think it is important to support family run businesses before our only choice is Aspen Dental or Gentle Dental. It is also accessible by three different bus routes and on street parking is always available when I have needed it. read more

Dr. Centrella and his staff are very professional and caring. I have always been a bit leery of going to the dentist if it wasn't for Jerry and his staff I don't know if I would have some of the work that I needed to have without their caring compassionate demeanor by my side. I referred my family to him and then also very happy with the practice. read more

Fantastic group of professional people. The office is immaculate. The staff was very kind and knowledgeable. Dr. G is great!!! Can't say enough nice things about this new dentist. My family has just found a "keeper"!!! read more

Dr Centrella and his office are the best. My family sees him since the last 10 years and have been so happy. He goes beyond the call of duty to give you the best experience possible. I have had 3 bridges made with him and he has worked patiently on each one,never rushing me !.He has convenient evening hours.All the girls in the office are really good and Cara does a great job working with my kids.. Love you Dr.Centrella read more

I just went there today for the first time. The assistant was patronizing to the point of being straight up annoying. I'm 27 years old and she was talking to me like I was a child. She asked me how old I was and I responded purposely "I'm 27...A GROWN ADULT" so as to imply she should stop her condescending attitude. But instead she laughed and said "How cute. I like this girl already.....a grown adult haha." Then the dentist Mr. Centrella starts his patronizing act asking me if I knew the difference between tartar and plaque and giving me a hygiene lesson as if I was 10 years old. He made me hold the mirror and would say "Look in the mirror" if I wasn't. I just wanted to go in and get my teeth routinely cleaned, not be treated like I'm an idiot and a child. The only good thing out of it was that my mouth felt clean and refreshed. Still debating whether or not to go in February after 6 months but if I'm going to be treated the same way, then forget about it. read more

I absolutely love Dr. Centrella, and all his staff. It's honestly the most fun I've ever had at the dentist, even while getting fillings, and believe me I never thought I'd call the dentist fun! Dr. Centrella makes you feel like part of a family, has a fantastic sense of humor, and enjoys (and even encourages) questions about procedures, teeth, dentistry, or anything. He explained not only the best way to floss, but also why that is the best method. He also will explain the procedures and let you see (with a mirror, of course) what he's doing, what your cavities look like, etc. He also is concerned about how your comfort is, and tells you to let him know if you need him to stop for whatever reasont! It really feels like everyone at that office cares about you and just wants to make sure you get the best work possible - and won't charge you your left kidney for the work! Cara and Harmony are amazing - and regardless of whether or not they're assisting on my appointment, they always make sure to chat and say hi, and remember my name. I can't recommend this dentist enough! I'm just sad I have to wait 6 months to see them again. read more
