Anyone ever have a crown come off at their OWN doing? Say hello to facial pain!!! It happened to me over one weekend, I left a voicemail on the office number, the return call from Dr. Leigh himself was nearly instantaneous with staff follow up within minutes after conferring with Dr. Leigh. I was emergently scheduled to come in and was given thorough, specific instructions on how to prevent further tooth/crown damage and relieve pain, offering immediate access to his services. I didn't feel the need to go into the office immediately and I chose to be seen first thing Monday morning. I was instructed to call back if my condition worsened in any way. Following Dr. Leigh's instructions, I was in nearly pain-free in minutes. Truth be told, I'm a long time patient and the care and attention I received remains as amazing as it was on Day One, 25+ years ago. My point is, Newton Street Dental runs like clockwork... the efficiency has always impressed me and their recent MAJOR investment into the expansion of patient care space and newest equipment is evident at what happens when you sincerely care for ALL of your patients. Younger, older, new, and tenured. I'm proud to say I'm a lifelong patient not only because of the A++ oral care, but also for how the entire staff makes SURE that before you even leave the comfort of your treatment chair (yes, it's heated and massaged!), they assure that your heart is happy, too. (Disclaimer: heart comment is emotional and figurative, I don't believe advanced cardiac services are available other than emergent AED and CPR readiness... and to my knowledge, its never been needed at the office. Being a cardiac patient myself as well, I'm thankful Dr. Leigh, Dr. Chu, and the entire rest of the staff are prepared for ANYTHING <3 . Folks, this level of personal attention is almost unheard of nowadays. I hope you all do what I did and keep this find close to your OWN hearts as well. Stay safe, continue to all be well to one another.

Debbie and Kim are awesome dental hygienists. Dr. Leigh is a phenomenal dentist. They are all professional, courteous and caring. Everyone in the office is always happy and upbeat. I have complete trust in their care and recommendations. I've been with Newton Street dental for many years and I wouldn't change for anything. Dr. Chu is a great addition to the practice.

I am approximately 7 hours post 2 sinus lifts/bone grafts and 2 titanium "root" placements. I have had a lifetime fear of the dental office. Anti-anxiety medication is a must for me during any procedure never mind this dauntingly challenging oral surgery. Dr Leigh and Jacqueline made this almost comfortable. Dr Leigh explained everything as he proceeded, only told me what I wanted to know. Very very aware of my comfort level and safety. My jaw more than anything was the main discomfort. It's unbelievable that I can say my experience was overall pleasant. Great staff. I will return and 10 star recommendation

My wife and I have been a patients at this office now for 3 years. The employees are nice, the hygienists are very good, and dentists have done a very good job with our dental work. They have the ability to make crowns in-house with 3D printers so not only does it fit and look perfect, it can be made and installed during the same visit, which I found extremely convenient. They will text your cell phone to remind you of visits which is also convenient.

Annoyed for the second time with this dentist. I am having sensitivity where he did a filling about 5 months ago and when I had my six month visit he wasn't there to check out the tooth. Now I have to go back just for an exam that should have been done yesterday with my cleaning

The staff are pleasant and very helpful and made an effort to make me feel welcome. I was there for a crown replacement and Dr Chu kept me informed throughout the process and Sue made sure I was very comfortable. It was a pleasant experience.
