Mina Desai, DDS

I have been to alot of dentists in my past only to be disappointed. Dr. Desai and her staff are amazing! Not only did they make me feel welcome in their office, the new patient process was soo simple and done online. Dr. Desai was able to help with some lingering tooth pain I have been dealing with over the last few years. Not only did she discover and solve the problem that soo many other dentists missed, she was extremely thorough in explaining what was going on. Along with Dr. Desai, her Hygienist, Receptionist, and Dental Assistant were also wonderful and have restored my faith that exceptional dental practices do exist. I will 100% be coming back and will be recommending her practice to all of my family and friends. Thank you Dr. Desai and Staff!!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Desai’s for the past 10 years or so. She also has been treating my husband and my elementary-​school child as well. Dr. Desai is very knowledgeable and thorough and always provides me with a clear explanation of my dental issues. She has done preventive work on my teeth (fillings) that I believe have saved me from having problems over time. Dr. Desai really seems to be passionate about her profession and provides a relaxing environment (as possible as she can while not having any control over the sounds of those drills!) for our visits.

She is really good. Amazing job, on time and quality.

Dr. Desai is very knowledgeable and friendly. I went there for a regular dental check up and a filling. Dr. Desai knows her patients’ level of dental awareness and educates and advises them accordingly. I had a good experience and I would definitely recommend this place.

My husband and have been going to Dr Desai’s office for a few years now and love her and her staff. Dr Desai does a wonderful job with educating about tooth and gum health. My husband and I have both improved our mouth health with Dr Desai’s guidance and we are thankful.

I started going to Dr Desai in 2010 — as someone who has had major dental and orthodontal work done, i’ve been to a few places in my time. At first I was a little concerned by the small location and the lack of privacy, but now I really wish my insurance hadn’t changed so I can no longer see her.
I have five (yes, five) baby teeth still, and i’m in my late twenties. This is an indication of just how many missing adult teeth I have. Despite this obvious anomaly, going to Dr Desai’s has always been pleasant and informative. I have been to scam/​upsell dental offices before, and you definitely do not have that problem with Dr. Desai. She takes the time to look at your teeth and identify what your issues are, and which ones to address first. If something is too expensive for you, she will suggest other alternative ways of taking care of your teeth in the meantime.
I had regular cleanings and a wisdom tooth removed. I had previously been told that another «wisdom» tooth should be removed by other dentists; Dr Desai assured me that the tooth was not a wisdom tooth and that I could keep it. With as many teeth as I am missing, I need all the help i can get!
I have never had a bad experience here; no pain, and always tons of explanation for why she recommends a course of action. They check for me if my insurance will cover procedures and by how much. Of course there’s always the encouragement to deal with stuff now instead of later, but when I say I’m going to think about it they totally allowed me to take my own time.
I was considering starting to replace my baby teeth (they really are just about falling out) and she was absolutely pleasant, going over all the implant information with my mom. I know that sounds ridiculous, but implants are expensive! With my parents helping out with the cost, I wanted to make sure they had all the information on everything. And Dr. Desai did not blink, simply explained it all, gave my mom a pamphlet, answered all her questions… no problem.
Bottom line, I highly recommend Dr. Desai and I have no idea how I’m going to find a new dentist as good as her.

i’ve never had a cavity before in my life. on my first visit here I had 3. very suspicious.
also, they told me that they were ‘in network’ for my insurance. this turned out to be untrue, which resulted in additional bills. a while later my insurance carrier changed. unbelievably, the same thing happened again. even though this dentist was listed as being ‘in network’ in my insurer’s book, it turns out that they dropped out of the network previously and i was once again stuck with a bill.
i recommend giggles and grins in belmont.

Don’t go there! I seriously wasted all my money and had to go to another dentist and get everything re-​done there!
she’ll tell you that you need a night guard — that’s what she pushed for every visit. Although I told her many times that I won’t use it — I felt that she was selling it to me. Advice to Dr. Desai — quit wasting your time on unnecessary things and focus on the main things that need to be worked on.

Went to Dr. Desai for the first time thus teh 3 stars.
She did a great job with my cleaning & I like that it’s a small office.
She gave me some great tips on cleaning & taking over my Invisalign case.
I would highly recommend her. I’m going back again end of next month & if all is well, will update my review

I love Dr Desai and Liza. I have been going here now for about 4 years. They are not only wonderful to me, but they seem to be able to handle both my children (ages 7 and 8)!
I have also had 2 veneers done by Dr Desai, along with teeth whitening and am more than pleased with the outcome.
Lovely staff and recommended!

Staff is friendly and all that. But I had my front tooth done and it came our crooked. She didn’t seem bothered by that. I never went back.
For cleaning and routine visits I had no complaints. Also the lack very large trays for casts so if you have a large bite like me that’s another reason to skip.

Dr. Desai is extremely thorough and friendly as are all her staff. However, if you are sensitive about cleaning criticism from dentists Dr. Desai’s tough love approach may not be what you are looking for. Of course it is for the patient’s benefit, but she does not mince words! This can be frustrating when you have significant others or other loved ones who NEVER floss and are lax about brushing their teeth who always get glowing reviews from their dentists.

Mina and her staff are great! Everyone in the office is very friendly, and I think I had the best cleaning of my life! My 1 hour appointment did take a full hour, which made my mouth tired, but I never had a dentist care so much about my teeth. I would HIGHLY recommend her to all of my friends!
