They warned me of a few precursors to cavities that they found on my x-rays, but said that good habits and regular cleanings would arrest their growth - they could have told me to fill them right there. The focus on preventative measures assures me that they are really working for me and my health rather than pushing unneeded services. read less

I get nervous at the dentist in general and she's very good at explaining what is being done and answering questions to ease my nerves. She's never pushy about having anything done that isn't necessary and even offers suggestions to help keep me out of the dentist office. Despite my hardest efforts, I've always had cavity prone teeth and she was the first to suggest a Ph balancing mouthwash, which has worked wonders. You can tell she cares about her patients! read less

On top of being an awesome staff they are very thorough in following up issues, have top of the line technology. From the little things to the medical elements.

In the little things for example you have the fact that they have a texting and email system to remind you if you want to. They have a Keurig coffee maker while you wait, and  the dentist chair has an option for a massage, which is amazing!!!!!!

On the medical side they have also top of the line technology, and are all very professional and knowledgable. Not only that, they keep you in the loop as to what is going on with your own health. I've been o other dentists that don't tell you but the minimum because they have so many patients.

They don't only care to treat problems with your oral health, they care to prevent problems. To give you an example: The other day after looking at an initial x-ray (which is digitalized, not printed) they took this laser pen that checks on the thickness of my enamel (I had never seen a dentist use this before). It turns out that one of my teeth seemed somewhat weak, but not quite damaged. So, they suggested that my tooth might be at risk, but that it was easy to fix changing some practices. They suggested as a preventive measure to change toothpaste, and proposed to check on it again next time. It turns out my tooth was fine the next time I came in.

So, top of the line technology allowed for prevention, their professional standards allowed them to follow up, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. The whole time I was enjoying it so much, before I even got there I got a text reminder, when I got there I got a little Keurig coffee, when they were treating me I got a massage from the chair, and when I left they made sure I had my next appointment ready, and said good bye to me with a big smile!!!! read less

Dr. Maria and her staff are wonderful. She's really up to date with all the latest dental technology, does great work and has created a wonderful spa-like atmosphere for her practice!

I happened upon this office based on the yelp reviews and I am very grateful. Everyone from the receptionists up to Maria is friendly and professional.

I have been here three times now, two cleanings and a cavity. The atmosphere is very relaxed and Maria fully explains everything before proceeding. In addition, she is not pushy when it comes to additional services. She suggested that I get a mouth guard, but didn't hound me like a used car salesman. Also, when we discussed teeth whitening, she said I could use Crest white strips if I had more time and didn't want to spend as much.

I recently moved to Southie, but keep coming back here because this is a dentist you keep for as long as you stay in Boston. read less

The staff are very professional and friendly and the office is clean and welcoming. The waiting room even had toys and books for toddlers. Our little one was not very cooperative and Dr Vasilakis and Betty were very patient with her. By the end of the appt they were actually able to get fluoride varnish painted on her teeth. We’ve already booked our next appointment! read less

Sidenote, I have a crippling fear of the dentist, so I don't have one. I unfortunately developed, in the middle of the night a terrible toothache. I called as soon as the office was open praying that they could see me. Fortunately for me they had an opening pretty early. Everybody was so sweet and nurturing. Dr. Maria put almost all of my nerves to rest and got me situated with what I needed to take care of. I have found my new dentist I will go here without hesitation anytime. I want to give them 10 stars! read less

I had a family friend dentist growing up and after moving away felt I would never be able to replicate the same level of personalized care and trust. (I bounced around to different dentists and didn't realize how important trust was until I ended up needing 3 root canals after a dentist I was seeing didn't seal my teeth properly and I got cavities under every tooth he had drilled...). That's what brought me to Dr. Maria, and I feel so lucky to have found her. Her staff is really nice, the office has massage chairs, and most importantly she is a true expert and takes time for her patients. I had a cap come off this past weekend and she replied to my email promptly (7am on a Saturday), thoroughly answered my questions, and offered to squeeze me in right away. I had the cap done while she was out on maternity leave and she even offered to redo it if it comes off again at no cost. Dr. Maria is exceptional! read less

Yes, the dentist!

I chose Dr. Maria based off location and Yelp reviews.  The receptionists were beyond friendly on the phone and in person.  My hygienist was so professional and calm- she explained everything she was doing, and took the time to really go over my x-rays.  I couldn't believe when she was done cleaning my teeth, because it was so painless!  Dr. Maria also had a great personality, and was very knowledgable and helpful.

Besides friendly staff, the chairs had massagers in them which was a great surprise... And at the end my hygienist brought in a damp hot towel to clean my face.  I was shocked- little things make a big difference in making a generally un-enjoyable  experience shockingly pleasant.

To top it off, they send email and text reminders if you want them which is super convenient.

It was so exciting to find this gem! read less

Cant even describe how wonderful the attitude of the office is. Not to mention exceptional care and explanation of procedures.

I have never ever had a less than highly satisfying experience. I get so excited to come in for my cleaning. The music, the lighting, the photographs... Most of all, the wonderful people who work there.

Dr.Maria herself is wonderful! So professional and nice.

I don't know if Jamie still works there (I think that's her name) but she was great.

The office and examination rooms or sparklingly clean and some of the chairs massage. So lovely.

It's right on the 57 bus and parking is pretty readily available on street. The 86 bus also goes right down the street so those in Cambridge have no excuse!

They have an amazing referral system, too. I haven't paid for a cleaning in a while because I just keep referring new patients to them. I will continue to see her even after I move away from the city, I'm sure. read less

I always have a lovely experience. Their team is very friendly and accommodating.

Friendly, professional, expert care from Dr Maria’s dental team. Consistent stellar patient service.

Our family has been going to Dr Maria for years - great office and staff, and by far the best dentist I've ever been to.

Excellent Dentist and Staff. One stop shop that can do Crowns on the spot

I would highly recommend this practice.  On a practical note, parking is pretty easy, for a city dentist - and I really appreciated that they have early morning and evening appointments - you don't have to rush from or miss work. read less
