First visit with this practice. Front desk staff was so friendly and efficient. Made transferring records so easy. Stacey, the hygienist, was wonderful!! So gentle and sweet. I'm not a fan of dental cleanings, but she made it pleasant. She will be my go-to from now on!! Thank you!!

My family & I have been a patients here since the 1980s when Dr Tosatti opened his office in New Britain. My adult children still come here. Dr Matus was a wonderful addition to the practice and I'm happy to see her it take over now that Dr Tosatti has decided to retire. The hygienists are also thorough & attentive. Though I no longer have dental insurance, I find the fees reasonable and affordable and still get my 2 cleaning annually to maintain a healthy mouth.

I have a phobia about going to the dentist. Dr. Matus bonded my broken tooth this morning and put me at ease by talking me through the procedure and stopping periodically to check on me. I didn't feel a thing and was able to tolerate the drilling. Thank you Dr.Matus for taking your time with me.
