Marlboro Dental Care

I have been a patient for many years. I like the people here because they are very nice and they care about the patient’s oral health. The hygienists and receptionist all have been here for a long time. The office is small but very clean and modern. I had my wisdom teeth extracted a few years ago and it was done cleanly. Highly recommended.

I needed a new dentist and my boyfriend had gotten an emergency extraction here a few month before so I made an appointment. Unlike other offices I’ve been to they were able to schedule my cleaning just a couple weeks out. My hygienist was wonderful and explained more about gum disease and dental care than anyone else had ever explained to me. The cleaning was fast and relatively painless.
I didn’t feel judged (I’m a bad flosser) or like they were trying to sell me additional services. I’ll be back here for all my dental work in the near future.
I forgot to mention: best of all they do Saturday appointments and evening appointments which is great!

A goodie I can review my Dentist!
1^st off, the lobby has a TV in it, I don’t need it, but if your one of those that need to watch TV or your can’t raise your kids so you let the TV do it for you there you go. There are only 8 seats in the lobby, and are in a 3, 3, 2 format, so if someone takes the middle seat of a 3 it really knocks out the rest of the ‘bubble’ for others to sit.
The receptionist have always been nice and pleasant. However they do make mistakes too, resulting in my girlfriend (I’m on her insurance) having to pay for her 1^st 2 fillings, some $ 700. They did figure out the insurance issue, and now we have a credit, but we had to put the $ 700 on a credit card, and we aren’t getting interest from the Dental office, like the CC company is getting from us.
I have had fillings replaced, I know they get old and need to be refilled, and this place makes most of their money on doing that to ALL your fillings, including the filling I got 4 years ago from the VA when I got out of the army. Fillings take 10 years to go bad, not 4, so yes I’m suspicious.
I keep getting told to make more appointments for fillings, but don’t get told on which teeth they are working, or why or are they replacing or putting in new fillings. In part it is my fault, and normally I’m jumping down health care providers neck with questions about what they are doing and why.
Also I say I’m allergic to Novocaine, I don’t think I really am, but the sickest I’ve ever got in my life started with 40cc’s of the stuff and ended with black bile. So I tell them this from the get go, and they don’t use needles, they use a Novocaine machine, so I don’t know how much junk they pump into me, but it’s too much. I’m 6’0 240 and 50mg of ibprophian knocks me out because I don’t over medicate like most Americans.
Overall, I’m just not conformable with their overall action, add in the fact that it takes 2 to 3 weeks for my fillings to feel healed, and I’m“m told that’s ‘normal’ when I ask, but how if it’s ‘normal’ have I never had this problem before with the some 10 drilling’s I’m“ve had in my life.
Overall, not recommended, much to the dismay of my family who love them for some reason.

I have not had to have anything major done here, but I am a fan. I know, I know… a fan of the dentist… but I am! REALLY!
First, let’s talk about the setting. The lobby is a relaxing sage with wainscot everywhere… I feel like I’m waiting for a massage at a high end spa instead of a cleaning.
Every staff member there is happy and friendly. I’ve only been twice so far, six months apart, so I only feel so bad that I don’t know everyone’s names yet… but they’re great.
The hygienist is first rate. Yes, she scolds me for not flossing enough. I know I know. (Actually, I HAVE been flossing more lately but I don’t really credit the scolding.) Besides the scolding, she really is gentle and precise. I remember having a cleaning in Canton once and the hygienist kept stabbing me in the gums, which hurt, and then had the nerve to tell me I probably had advanced gum disease since my gums were bleeding so much. (If you prick me, will I not bleed? Bitch). But not here. All gentle and full of love, well, as much love as you can give whilst scraping tartar from a person’s teeth.
The dentist is great. Okay, she’s never done more than poke around my mouth for a few minutes ’cause I have the good teeth, but she’s also never tried to push unnecessary cosmetic teeth stuff on me that other dentists have in the past. (They’re called pearly whites for a reason, folks… NOT snowy whites!).
Anyway, I do recommend Marlborough Dental. Your mouth will thank you for it.
