I had to find a new dentist so I had my first appointment in October. It was a very nice and professional office, staff were very friendly and welcoming. They offer more than just your basic check up/cleaning services, which is what I was looking for as I may need utilize their orthodontic services.

I had my permitted cap put on 2 days ago. I have never had any major dental work done in the past except a filling or two and cleanings. They are very professional and knowledgeable. I was a little nervous but, they made feel comfortable and relaxed. To me it didn't feel like those horror stories you hear about dental work. It was fine, quick and no pain. I am glad I switched from my dentist I had used for the past 5 years. I am extremely happy with them and the hours they keep.

They are amazing! I brought my daughters today and they saw Fernanda. The best hygienist EVER! She made them feel so comfortable. She explained everything she was doing and it took the fear out of the unknown for them. My girls (18yrs and 15yrs) are so thrilled with how clean their teeth feel. They already got compliments on how bright and shiny their teeth look! They were comparing teeth and who's are brighter. We ALL love Fernanda and we won't see anyone else. She truly puts us at ease. I'm bringing my whole family here.

Great dentist, Dr Kaur and awesome hygienist Fernanda Teixeira in the Milford office. They both take the anxiety of visiting the dentist away, it's pleasure to deal with them.

my experience was not good because they offer a cleaning for free but in my case they asked for a deeper cleaning and they didn't give me the free one ie the promotion and just to attract customers they told me they would give it after the treatment for free but for me it makes no sense to cleaning as promised at the first appointment I didn't have a nice experience not to mention that I went to pay in cash they didn't have change and they told me to leave $3 behind of course nak I accepted but I had to go out and change the money myself this was very bad for me. I ended up paying the $57 dissatisfaction and without what the clinic promised I was very frustrated and called another clinic and they told me that the cleaning is all deep and well done in short I wanted to charge $1300.00 just for a meaningless deep cleaning

Going to the dentist is not my favorite thing but these guys make it easy. Pleasant relaxed atmosphere and staff, appreciate the text and e-mail reminders and they are always on time. I've been seeing Fernanda now for years and she's the best hygienist I've ever had (I know what bad is), I wont let anyone else go near my mouth! Highly recommend.
