I'm 22 years old, and I have been to 5 or 6 dentists in my life before coming to Dr. Gavelis for…read morethe first time today. I had a huge cavity pop up out of no where, and was able to schedule an appointment with him the same day. I went in, and was immediately put at ease by his and his staff's professionalism. Dr. Gavelis explained to me, what he was doing, stream of conscious style, and why, which put into perspective the factors which caused the cavities. Additionally, one thing I hate is having Novocaine injected into me, because more often than not dentists rush shoving the needle into you, or use to much (multiple shots). He was able to hit two teeth with Novocaine in one injection, and unlike other dentists, I wasnt numb for HOURS afterwards, clearly Dr. Gavelis' is well practiced and experienced. I usually dread going to the dentist, but I can honestly say that I could go to a dentist appointment with Dr. Gavelis and my anxiety level would be much less than with any other dentist. Additionally, according to my mother, he has the most modern equipment in the area. I was also impressed with the time and attention he dedicated to treating my dental issues. It took him about 1.5 times as long to do a filling as any other dentist I have had, but it was clear that he was much more patient, and careful then others. Its pretty clear that you get what you pay for as far as dentists on the north shore are concerned. Dr. Gavelis made sure that my cavity was completely free of decay before filling the cavity by using a dye to highlight miniscule amounts of decay. As a result, this filling will last much longer than other's because Dr. Gavelis made sure he removed of all the decay, which otherwise, even if a minsicule amount was left, would come back, erode my tooth, loosen the cavity and require it to be refilled, costing more.

I have an unusual allergy that makes some things really difficult and the hygienist was very careful and observant not to cause a reaction of it. They found problems that my other dentist did not, enough to max out my insurance for the year. I've had 1 cavity my whole life before this and they pointed out some ways to bypass any future problems. I guess I have some deep ridges in my molars that were of a concern so they recommended filling them and replacing a filling and rebonding a tooth. Enough to probably max out my insurance when my dentist never did anything at all. He used white fillings on the molars, and I was a bit concerned when I first got my EOB and called my insurance to find out that they only pay for silver ones so you have to pay the difference. Only to find out that they have a policy that they won't actually charge you when insurance does that because they don't want their patients to make the decision based on money! That says something! So basically, they ate $60 in just one visit. Glad I took my friend's recommendation and switched to this dentist.

I had the very unfortunate opportunity to see Dr. Sergey Zemlyansky for dental care. During my…read moreexam he informed me that a molar needed a root canal. I had never had a root canal and my teeth were/are very healthy overall. He said that he could do the procedure himself, in-office and would even reduce his 'normal' fee to make it more affordable. With some reluctancy and fear, and reassurance from Dr. Sergey, I agreed to the root canal. The very next day, the tooth was causing extreme pain and my face began to swell. The following day, (Wednesday before Thanksgiving) I returned to see Dr. S. because the pain had increased to an unbearable level and the swelling was now the size of a baseball. He prescribed a stronger antibiotic and more pain medication and sent me home. In my life, I have never felt the pain I did from this procedure. Missing Thanksgiving with family altogether, I went to the emergency room as I couldn't bear the pain a minute longer. More pain med and back home until Sunday. Sunday, the swelling had grown to a large orange size - the entire side of my face and the pain was unbelievable. I was given IV pain medication and after an MRI, I had emergency surgery to drain the abscess and spent the night in the hospital. The surgeon said it was one of the worst infections from a dental procedure he had ever seen. I texted with Dr. S. from the hospital, upset, angry, scared. He agreed to 'give me my money back', and explained that he had only started the root canal, not finished it yet. That was the first time I had heard that. Jump ahead to my visit with a QUALIFIED dentist, who after examining me, said the root canal was not done correctly and that much of the pulp and nerves were left in the tooth, hence the infection. He in fact, was shocked at the results and asked if I had possibly had it done in 'another country', and couldn't understand WHY a root canal had been needed at all and certainly IF it were done it would have been done in ONE apn't. Wow. Ultimately, I had to have another, proper root canal at TUFTS, where the surgeons there said it may not be possible to save the tooth, because it looked like whoever did the first one took "too much of the tooth" and not enough of what he was supposed to, but the procedure was done and completed. Several months later, the tooth broke. It broke so much so that a crown wasn't possible. Now, I have had what was a perfectly fine tooth pulled. This process continues years on. I've endured extreme pain - unbelievable pain from a VERY botched root canal from Dr. Sergey Zemlyansky in Gloucester, MA. I LOST a tooth, nerve damage on my lip, TMJ pain and now the cost of a tooth replacement ahead. This has been an honest and unbelievable nightmare of an experience. I CANNOT recommend this dentist; in fact I would council ANYONE thinking of seeing him for anything to reconsider.

Dr. Samiei and his staff answered each one patiently.  He allowed my child agency to ease their nerves (counting down to the Novocain shot, deciding on hand signals in case a break was needed, etc.).
