I was visiting in the area and one of my front teeth chipped. I was able to get into the office and the dentist did a fantastic job. He was thorough, efficient and checked in frequently about my comfort level during the procedure. My tooth looks great.

Everyone on the team - the front desk person, the dental hygienist, and the dentist - was friendly, patient, professional, and skilled. They each helped me choose among options for bruxism, fluoride treatment, and a cost-saving payment plan. I’m very pleased with this dental practice!

I genuinely love going here for dental appointments. The front desk staff are super friendly and helpful, and the professional staff are excellent. I've been seeing the same dental hygienist for five years now, and my visits are like catching up with a friend.

I did Invisalign treatment at GHD Somerville. I had done braces for 4 years as a kid but didn’t wear my retainer. My bite was messed up and it caused one of my lower front teeth to break. The dentist made the process very easy and straightforward. I can’t believe how beautiful my smile is now.
