Everyone is friendly and personable and talks to you like a friend they just saw last month, not just a couple times a year. They don't try to sell you thing you don't need or make you replace fillings before it needs to be done. It doens't (and never has) felt like a money grab where they tell you to do things that you don't need to get done. Unless you want to, I mean they won't talk you out of a teeth whitening if that's what you want. LOL The parking lot is a bit of the pain since it's one lane so you have to be careful to follow the rules and let the traffic coming in have the right of way, but you get used to it! At least there's parking, for free. You're not paying in a garage so there's that, and that means something in downtown WeHa. Highly recommend if you're looking for a dental practice!

Goldstein and Waterman who are no longer affiliated with the practice. But, at my last visit, I was disappointed by the lack of standard of dental care I received. First, the hygienist, Laurie, who wasn't the one I had made an appointment with, kept me waiting 15 minutes. After she cleaned my teeth, she didn't polish or floss them; nor did she ask me if I wanted a fluoride treatment, which I usually get. Then, a dentist, Dr. Zhang, unfamiliar to me, briefly looked at my teeth and told me I needed "overlays" on a few of my bottom teeth which have been slightly chipped for years. Dr. Zhang did not visually and physically check my face, neck, lips, tongue and throat for any abnormal lumps, red or white patches, or sores. She did not ask me to bite down to evaluate tooth alignment and check for temporomandibular joint disorder or teeth grinding or check the depth of spaces between my teeth and gums to screen for gingivitis or periodontitis. When I asked about my regular dentist, Dr. Wateman, Dr. Zhang told me he no longer worked there. Due to the lack of standard of dental care provided by Newington Family Dental Practice and recent turnover rate of personnel, I would not recommend this practice.

My husband had a terrible experience at this dental office. This is his review:…read more I have never reviewed a place--- regardless of how bad an experience was, but this terrible experience warranted one. I have been going to this office for quite some time now. Until today. This review is my way to warn any person from using this place for their night guard services. I hope to save you time and money. Teeth grinding at night, comes with many issues already. And for a "dental office" to play these kinds of tricks is awful. To start off, I had a night guard that I used for many years (from another dentist). Key words many years... I needed a new one, so I went to the office and they took the measurements. I picked up this guard 2 months ago. It was fine for the first month, then it started getting slightly cloudy. I let this go (as I thought it was normal). Last week, I woke up and noticed that my grinding had broken a piece of the plastic on the guard. I called the office and made an appointment. Since the whole point in these is to help from grinding teeth, you would think that the plastic can withstand that. Once I got to the office I was told that this is not material they use, and that I may have brought my "old one." First off, they tried to make me feel dumb, as if I would mistakenly bring an old one, or one from "another place". I showed them a picture of the one from them, the day I picked it up.... Which was a pricey guard as is. They blamed it on the discoloration, and stated that it was not theirs. I can assure you, that it was the one I picked up from them. I have no time to run around trying to get night guards from dentists. Without even looking at the guard and immediately stating it didn't match the picture I had, they weren't hesitant to attempt to make me feel as if I did something wrong. I have shown another dentist a picture of the two, and they agreed that it was clearly the same bite marks on both. I even took a picture of the material they use and will call the manufacture to have them compare it for even further proof. The point in my review here is to save you all the hassle and money of being ripped off by this place. They attempted to offer me half off a new one, but I refused. I am happy to pay double the price at this other dentist, because I can sleep with a piece of mind knowing I have a quality night guard. All please be aware...

An employee came up to me in the waiting room to do x rays before I had seen the dentist for him to make a recommendation for x rays and when I had already sent them x rays. The office is large and impersonal. You have to go through the office manager to ask questions to the dentist and don't know if emails go directly to him. When I first called to make an appointment, I was told a dental assistant would do the exam not the dentist. I found that troubling. There is free outdoor parking
