Traditionally, I have always loathed going to the dentist…read more With every passing visit, regardless of what small, magazine laden office I stumbled into, I found myself feeling all the more hopeless that my lack of dental care growing up had entirely doomed my mouth to a slow, painful fate of imminent decay and demise. I saw many a dental professional shake their head in disapproval, sigh deeply, or just chuckle at the results of my x-rays and volume of work needed to restore my mouth to full health.These collective experiences instilled a deep disdain for the dentist's office, and only at the urgent behest of my wife did I find myself reluctantly walking through the door of what I quickly regarded as yet another pit of toothy misery, this time in Ipswich. Rather than fill me with that familiar, oppressive sense of oral dread, my experience at Dr. Sorrento's office proved very different. After the x-rays had been collected and my cavity filled teeth flashed onto the screen, I wasn't met with the same callous disregard or dental dehumanization, but with a handshake, a smile, and words of sincere encouragement. That very afternoon, we put a plan in place to see my entire mouth made well, and I was equipped with the tools to start my journey- an electric toothbrush, water-flosser, clinical toothpaste, and rinse. Using these faithfully, and with several follow-up appointments now under my belt, my gums have never looked better and my oral hopes have never been higher. I couldn't recommend this wonderful staff more, for their authentic patient-centered care, educated insight, and enduring support!

Absolute creep. Told me I needed a whole bucket of interventions including a root canal. When I…read moretold him that the tooth did not hurt and questioned the need for a root canal he told me that he had been doing this for years and guaranteed the tooth needed to go. Well I went back to my old dentist and a decade later the tooth is still healthy. He tries to make up for his cowboy dentistry with heated towels and other superficial luxuries. I'll stick with competence and judgement instead any day. I don't know if he doesn't know what he's talking about, or is just trying to pad his bill by butchering his patients with unnecessary procedures, but I'd watch a youtube video and do my dentistry myself before I'd go back to this guy.

After having been to dentists that treat you with guilt and a cold attitude, I was in no hurry to be in that situation again. Every employee that I've dealt with at Dr. Colletta's office is friendly, easy-going and fun. I highly recommend this dental office for anyone. The lobby / waiting room is nothing to brag about, but you won't be sitting in there for long. Once in the private room where you get into the dental chair there are nice nature photographs on the wall, magazines and they let you listen to your mp3 player while they're working on you if the noise of the drill, etc. bothers you. I will definitely remain loyal to Dr. Colletta so long as I live in New England.

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.
