I rarely leave reviews, but my experience with Pearl Dental has been so consistently negative…read moreacross my entire family that I feel obligated to speak up. All four members of my household have had disappointing or outright terrible experiences here. What is most concerning is how many glowing reviews exist, because our experience has been the complete opposite. It genuinely makes me question how accurate those positive reviews are. My own situation has been ongoing and extremely frustrating. In December 2025, Dr. Scott Pearl told me I had "baby cavities" and recommended filling them to prevent progression. I had no pain at all before those fillings. Immediately afterward, I developed severe dental pain that has only worsened over time. I returned for a follow up and was told everything looked fine, despite the fact that I was in significant pain. Now I am dealing with daily, persistent discomfort. To make matters worse, I have since lost my dental insurance, so I am stuck suffering until my new coverage begins. This entire situation was created by a procedure that I now strongly believe was unnecessary. This was not an isolated incident. About a year earlier, my husband and I were both convinced to get crowns. This had never once been recommended by our previous dentist. Since those crowns were placed, I have continued to experience sensitivity in those teeth. Looking back, I deeply regret agreeing to those procedures. My son's experience was just as concerning. He had fillings done for "baby cavities" and developed severe pain afterward. One of his fillings even fell out. Although it was replaced, he continues to have discomfort. Beyond the clinical issues, the billing practices are equally troubling. We were repeatedly reassured that our insurance would cover these procedures, even though we could not find Pearl Dental in network. We specifically asked multiple times. Despite those assurances, I am still receiving bills from procedures done two years ago. This raises serious concerns about transparency and whether proper insurance verification is being done at all. At this point, I fully expect to receive additional bills for the December 2025 procedures as well. Yes, the staff is friendly. But that does not make up for what feels like unnecessary dental work, poor outcomes, and misleading information about insurance coverage. I would never recommend this practice to anyone. I regret ever going here. I am counting down the days until my new dental insurance starts so I can have this work properly evaluated and corrected.

THIS PRACTICE IS BEING INVESTIGATED. I was a patient for over twenty years until 2024. I had to…read morechange due to insurance they were not participating with. During a visit with my new dentist, X-rays showed that a tooth that Dr. Gary Pearl claimed to have put a crown on was fractured but it showed no evidence of a crown. I absolutely know that I had a root canal AND a crown on that tooth. Upon calling this office later that day, Lisa told me that my chart records showed that a crown had been placed on the tooth in question. She then referred me to Gary's wife Dineen for further details. I requested the information on all of the restorative services that I had received from them. It's not a long list because I take care of my teeth. The information that I received, provided by Dineen Pearl, showed that a crown had been placed on the tooth in question, but current X-rays do not show evidence of ANY crown on it. Now they want to claim it was an onlay not a crown. Well I have verified with my previous insurance that onlays are NOT covered under any of their plans and since I know they were paid by my previous insurance 80% and I paid the remaining 20%, they had to bill it as a crown. That's fraud! I am reporting them to the State Department of Insurance and the State Department of Public Health Provider Investigations. They should also be aware that all conversations with them were recorded and will be sent with my complaints, not my problem that Dineen or Lisa didn't hear the statement that "this call is being recorded". Maybe the need to listen before they start yapping. No need to record any other conversations since their lies have already been documented and they cannot lie about what was said. Also, CT is a one-party State and one does not have to notify the other party. They said what they said, LIES!! They have also refused to provide me with my complete record of services provided while I was a patient. Well, they will have to release it to the State for this investigation. No way around that!!

I scheduled a cleaning after a few years of neglecting to go to the dentist. I had no concerns…read moreother than just wanting to get a cleaning and to get back in the habit of regular dental visits. I let them know I was pregnant when I made the appointment. Knowing how long it had been since I had been in, and that they would not be willing to give me x rays due to pregnancy, and that they would not do a cleaning without x rays, they none the less still scheduled me for the cleaning and then pulled a bait-and-switch after I arrived. The dental hygienist told me they could do a "light exam" which she proceeded to make sound like would include some degree of cleaning. And then we could do x rays and the remaining cleaning procedures in a follow up visit after baby came. In reality, the light exam consisted of the dentist sticking her finger in my mouth for a few seconds--she didn't touch or look at any of the tools and i'm not convinced she even examined my teeth--and then lectured me for 15 minutes with generic advice with no comments on my actual dental health. I presume she did just enough to charge my insurance as if they had actually provided me a service, without committing fraud. In hind sight it is clear there was no chance they would be doing any cleaning, despite what they presented to me. I would recommend finding someone else as I consider this dishonest and unscrupulous. I will be finding a new dentist.

Overall, disappointed with Dr. Patel. His office looks ok, but one should be proactive in their…read morediagnoses and not schedule procedures the same day based purely on trusting your healthcare provider's input or willingness to pursue a procedure. I've been a patient of his for over 2 years and have had 2 cavities filled with him since that time. My first filling, which is a couple of months old, still has pain in the side when I apply pressure, and this doesn't happen to my only other filling not done by him (i.e., I've only had 1 cavity before seeing him). I've mentioned the filling pain to him during a visit for another tooth issue and my input was very superficially evaluated and never resolved--essentially, overlooked as "new" filling pain. The second filling diagnosed by Dr. Patel was in my upper back wisdom tooth, so I couldn't see or confirm it, but the filling was done the same day. Since my visit was initially for another tooth bothering me, when informed that I had a small cavity in my wisdom tooth, no supporting evidence was provided such as X-rays, historical imaging records, or anything else--not even prodding the supposed cavity. Plus, my annual cleaning only a couple months ago indicated no concerns in the back region of my mouth. Also, interestingly enough, the unknown tooth that continues to bother me did receive a new X-ray and thorough evaluation, which the doctor felt required a specialist's assessment, since he couldn't find which tooth it was, even though it was the second time I've come in for it. Nonetheless, I think it is fine to defer to a specialist. With the second filling, there really was no rush to fill it and in hindsight, I would have sought a second opinion. Ultimately, the dentist should have felt and approached this similarly, since he mentioned that it's a very small cavity and likely not related to my primary tooth pain issue, but he filled it anyway. I've always made the effort to maintain proper oral hygiene and as mentioned, only had 1 cavity before seeing Dr. Patel. Overall, I'm disappointed with my experience, but hope others have better ones. I only write this to share my story--I am not suggesting that you see or not see the practice. Good luck.

Hopefully Dr. Patel gets the new staff to understand his patients and I can continue to recommend people but until then I will choose a different a dental practice.

Perhaps the xray person, dentist, and hygienist are capable, but I think they talked me into having…read morean expensive procedure I didn't need and then the desk lady tried to charge me for additional things I didn't want. First problem - I'm on Medicare, which they don't accept, and United Healthcare, which offers a Dentegra discount at Aspen Dental. The lady at the desk refused to know anything about a discount (even though it's on their website) and I had to look it up on my phone to show her. Finally, that was approved. The Xray person took 20 Xrays in addition to a full head scan and stuck a camera in my mouth to take photos, which seemed a bit excessive. The dentist (Dr Kim) seemed nice but insisted I needed scaling and root planning. The finance person said that would cost $1542 after the discount. She said it was a one-time procedure and I wouldn't have to do it again. I was skeptical but made another appointment because the hygienist wasn't working that day. Supposedly the entire procedure was going to be done in one day, but the hygienist only did the right side of my mouth, and I had to make another appointment for the left half. The desk lady said the entire procedure would cost $1742, which I complained was not the original estimate. They were going to charge me $200 more for an electric toothbrush and a water pick that I didn't want. I told them to take that off and got the price back to $1542. I paid $730 for that visit. I went back 4 days later to get the left side done. The desk lady said I had to pay $812 up front before the work could be done. I said I've always paid for doctor and dentist visits after the work, but she insisted so I paid it. The hygienist did the left side and said I was supposed to come back in 4 months. When I went to schedule the next appointment, the lady said I would have to return every 3 or 4 months and it would cost $413 for each cleaning. I can't afford that and insisted on a 6 month appointment and the regular maintenance cleaning for $223. A week later, I got a bill in the mail for another $148. When I tried to phone the office, I got a voice mail. It's been several days and no one has called back. I do not intend to pay the bill and I will be canceling the next appointment. Even if the dental care is good, the outrageous charges and customer service is awful. There are 4-5 ladies at the front desk and they mostly stare at their computers and ignore the patients. All those cute motivational signs around the office don't make up for the fact that, at least at the Hamden, CT office, the practice is run by liars and cheaters.

I found this office to be great to work with. They were always kind, professional and efficient. I…read moream well satisfied. The only negative is the receptionist who would not speak louder even when I told her of my hearing loss. But that be as it may I highly recommend this office.
