During my life, I've been exposed to a lot of radiation. I've had interventional fluoroscopy and CT…read morescans performed multiple times. Because of this, I try to limit non-essential radiation exposure. I went to Lumos to get my teeth cleaned. The dentist told me that I needed to get an x-ray first, which I declined. Then, she didn't ask why I declined, she didn't ask whether my family has a history of radiation-associated leukemias, she didn't ask whether I was on immunosuppressive medicines that could make me more vulnerable to radiation. The dentist didn't ask me anything. She rudely told me that I shouldn't come to Lumos. The entire process felt disrespectful and dehumanizing. I would recommend against coming here.

I found Dr. Lerch because one of my side veneers fell out while I was flossing. I soon messaged two…read moredifferent offices. The contrast in responses told me everything I needed to know. Dr. Lerch personally responded the same night after hours (while the competing office got back to me the following morning, asked all the same questions I had already answered in their online intake form, and then recommended I schedule an appointment in two weeks). She messaged to let me know they consider this an emergency and would prioritize it (it's very painful and hot/cold sensitive to have an exposed tooth with veneer missing). I was in her chair getting the veneer reattached the following day. Altogether it took less than 30 minutes. Admittedly, I came to Dr. Lerch's office with some quiet distrust of dental offices in general. However, I have since found that I can completely trust Dr. Lerch's office with the full scope of my dental care, and so I also recently decided to move forward with a lingual frenectomy that had been impacting my speech for decades but I kept avoiding. The procedure took minutes and was entirely painless. Lastly I'll add that what makes this place truly exceptional is that Dr. Lerch's care and standards are not limited to her. Every person I have spoken to in the office shares the same qualities, whether Robby, Rahisha, Karen, or anyone else. It's clear that Dr. Lerch's values shape who she hires, and it shows in every interaction. I am glad I found her office.

I've been going here for over a decade. Front desk can be a little rough around the edges. It's…read moregotten a little better given a lot of the forms are online and there is less interaction. The hygienists are for sure kind and attentive. Drs spend 2 -5 minutes with patients. Last visit was super shady. First, I filled out the paperwork with medical information - totally appropriate for 6 month visit. None of my information has changed. AND THEN I was told I was required to complete an identical medical survey for a private company to access medical records that sold products for sleep apnea. I was told patients could leave the office without completing it by the front desk- totally unethical- there should have a been a disclosure form available around transparency and consent. As a medical provider, I was disgusted by their ruse and will not be returning. The overall care is adequate, but administrative practices are suspect.

I really wouldn't recommend New Haven Dental Group. I've had multiple appointments where either the…read morewrong dentist was scheduled or I ended up waiting over an hour past my scheduled time. On top of that, they've failed to send reminders or notifications for appointments more than once, which led to missed appointments--and then they charged me cancellation fees. The front desk staff is often rude and unhelpful, which just makes a frustrating situation worse. Even routine cleanings have been incredibly painful--unlike anything I've experienced at any other dental office. I genuinely tried to give this place a fair chance, but the constant scheduling mistakes, lack of communication, unprofessional attitude, and overall disorganization make it really hard to justify staying. It's been a consistently bad experience from start to finish.

Update: I've added proof that this is a real review because Dr. T has forgotten his own actions…read more This dentist is absolutely terrible. I got multiple fillings from him two years ago on the left side of my mouth and they are STILL sensitive. I learned my lesson early, switched to another dentist to do fillings on the right side and what do you know, the other dentist's work is just fine. Not only are my fillings by Dr. T terrible, he also took unusual breaks during the procedure, leaving me to sit there waiting with chunks of multiple teeth drilled out. I went to the bathroom during his break once and saw my teeth without the fillings -- horrifying. No one should ever have to see their own mouth like that. And lastly, I requested that my records and x-rays be sent from his office to my current dentist THREE times over the course of a week, once during my first appointment with my new dentist because they still hadn't sent them after asking twice. As a result, I had to get all new x-rays that my insurance wouldn't cover. That's money lost because of his negligent staff. So in case I haven't warned you enough, please please do not go to this place. You can find much better. I know I did.

When I first came to New Haven Prosthodontics, I had trained myself to smile with my lips shut. I…read morewas terribly self conscious of the appearance of my teeth. Having been born without the 2 adult lateral incisors, I had been struggling with the situation since age 13. I had Marilyn bridges and later got implants and crowns (not from New Haven Prosthodontics). Although I was grateful to have the spaces filled, I was not comfortable showing my real, full smile. Luckily, years later, I was referred to New Haven Prosthodontics to have new crowns made. Stepping into the office was always a pleasure. Everything is clean, efficient, and done in a timely manner. The atmosphere is very calming and comfortable. I can't thank Dr. Maratta, Mindy, and Giovanna enough for their kindness, hard work, attention to detail, patience, and professionalism. I am very pleased with the final result -- both the shape and color. It feels so good to finally smile with confidence. I would highly recommend New Haven Prosthodontics office to anyone looking to improve their smile!

My experience with this dentist was one of the worst in my life. Last year, I began feeling a…read morestrange sensation in one of my back molars. Concerned, I booked an emergency appointment (which was incredibly expensive) with Dr. Adrienne Tartagni the following day. The appointment seemed routine; they took X-rays, which I didn't expect to reveal anything alarming since I had seen my own dentist back in my home state less than two months prior for an exam and cleaning, as I don't reside permanently in CT. After reviewing the X-rays, Dr. Tartagni performed a hot and cold test on my tooth and abruptly informed me that I needed a root canal. I was surprised because I didn't feel much during the test and mentioned this to her. Looking back, it seemed like she was either guessing or pushing for unnecessary treatment. After being told I needed a root canal, I was taken to the financial office and given an exorbitant out-of-pocket estimate. The news was especially stressful since I am a college student and my dental coverage is in my home state. Ultimately, I sought a second opinion from my dentist back home, who promptly reassured me that my tooth was perfectly fine and that I had narrowly avoided being taken advantage of. Multiple X-rays confirmed this, and other dentists agreed that no treatment was necessary. This happened about a year ago, and today, my tooth feels completely normal and the strange sensation has disappeared. It even felt better a couple of days after the visit, despite the lady working in the financial office saying that the "pain would likely just get worse" if I didn't go through with the procedure. My dentist back in my home state confirmed it was just sensitivity, which I'm confident he was correct about. I believe Dr. Tartagni and her office should feel ashamed for causing such unnecessary stress. While I understand that medical professionals can make mistakes, the entire experience was incredibly frustrating. I often reflect on how fortunate I was to have questioned whether the procedure was truly necessary, especially considering the invasiveness of a root canal. This situation has left me wondering how many others may have been similarly affected by their practices. If faced with a recommendation for an invasive procedure by this office and you're unsure of its necessity, I strongly urge seeking a second opinion.

They managed to fit me in and I felt like a treasured guest there, even though I won't be able to see them regularly. The office is super clean, runs smoothly, and everyone there was so kind, to me and to each other. They took x-rays to confirm the break, and the dentist polished down the tooth to make me more comfortable until I can see an endodontist. I am so grateful... I only wish I lived closer so I could see them again!

Overall, a bad experience. My first cleaning was done poorly. Felt like a nail tech was prepping my…read moreteeth rather than cleaning my gumline. Didn't record my pocket health even after I inquired. The hygienist continued against my protest and inquiries. They told me "Everything was good" after my x-rays. I told them it was not. I was gaslit for weeks about tooth pain and migraines. They told me to see my PCP who referred me *back* to my dental provider. I returned because my face was swelling, and I knew whatever was wrong wasn't right. They told me to floss and use an electric toothbrush. No x-rays. No emergency exam. No option to yank my tooth. Nothing. Just go home and floss. Ok. I called *again* because things worsened. The receptionist told me to see a TMJ specialist that my insurance would cover. They declined to refer me to this specialist and continued to repeat "call your provider to see who is in network". No sense of urgency. No option. No way to see the dentist so that he could refer me. They told me to wait four months until he *would* see me again. And then they said they were booked out five months. So, which was it? They claimed that I couldn't pay out of pocket, but the truth is that Chapel Street (and other facilities) discriminates towards those of us with Husky Insurance. No way that any ethical practitioner would see my x-rays and send me on my way without a treatment plan. I'm not a trained professional and I knew something wasn't right. I wouldn't recommend that anyone go to them. If you're in pain, go to a reputable place and ask for a payment plan. You'll regret letting them near your mouth.
