I could not be more thrilled with my new smile makeover from Dr. Mike Maroon at Advanced Dental! Admittedly, I needed extensive tooth restoration completed on the vast majority of my teeth; all but one needed crowns. My alternative was to loose my teeth at 37 and that was an exponentially horrifying and overwhelming possibility. I initially went into his office feeling extremely overwhelmed, embarrassed, and anticipatory. I had received 3-4 different opinions from other dentists who made me feel ashamed about how bad things were. However, Dr. Mike and his team immediately made me feel at ease. He was undeniably the most knowledgeable, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. He explained to me what we would need to do to save my smile. He also gave me options and was willing to work with me on this costly endeavor. Dr. Mike is hands down the best dentist I've ever been to and I would HIGHLY recommend his expertise and knowhow, especially for those needing extensive restorative and cosmetic work. Honestly, I'd never go to another dentist ever again and would probably cry if he ever retired. Everywhere I go, people are commenting on my, "million dollar smile," and for someone who had very damaged teeth, nothing could feel better than hearing such kind words. Dr. Mike far surpassed any expectation I had and his entire team is beyond stellar. His office staff and dental assistants are incredible. The customer service and personable atmosphere is unparalleled to any other. I lived in a major US city for a decade and would anticipate this level of care, customer service, comfort, vibe, and expertise in NYC, Boston, LA or Miami and was blessed to find it in CT. I cannot sing Dr. Mike Maroon and his team's praises enough and recommend him to everyone, especially those needing extensive restorative and cosmetic work. Dr. Mike works miracles! If my smile could be salvaged and perfected, anyone's can be! #BestDentistEVER read more

This practice seems to prioritize money above all else. If you enjoy feeling like a cow being herded through a process, then this is the right spot for you. It tends to be loud and chaotic. The staff is generally nice, but prepare for an overwhelming number of texts and phone calls regarding upcoming appointments--far more than I have ever experienced. It can be incredibly annoying. Be cautious if they have questions about your insurance before an appointment, as you may feel like you're being stalked. When they need something, everyone is on high alert, but when you need assistance, it's a different story altogether. What I should have done was come here first before taking a chance. I would have read the other reviews and stayed clear. read more

DO NOT GET IMPLANTS! mine lasted less time then it took to get them. The first time one of them failed he started all over again. The second time he said it's because of the medication I had taken. The first one failed while was NOT on the medication. His solution was I am not a viable candidate for implants so I should get a bridge. However he wants to charge me thousands more without any consideration for the thousands I have already paid. I live with one hole in my mouth and pain from other one; he says will fail as the bone has all disappeared around it. read more

Once they realize you cant afford certain services, they wont even take you call! Even asking for my imaging was a pain. They are money hungry. Im sure if you can afford their prices they would treat you great! read more

Oh, you cannot make this stuff up. My ACTUAL first review of Advanced Dental, posted in 2015, went into more detail regarding the "multitude of under-35 blondes" that work here, essentially insinuating that this dental practice is being run by an unrepentant misogynist. At some point someone got offended by that accusation [shocker], and my review was removed. Fast forward four years, and a mailer shows up at my door featuring Miss Connecticut, and Miss Teen Connecticut. *GIF of Ryan Reynolds facepalming* Five years ago, I was merely suspicious that a dentist was hiring his staff based on their looks. Now I'm 100% certain he's hiring staff based on their looks. It's 2020, not 1966. If you watched "Mad Men" and thought to yourself, "Ah, this was the golden age of work environments," then Advanced Dental is surely the place for you. read more

So I used to be a satisfied patient at Advanced Dental, and had previously written a glowing review. Then things started to go downhill... I had sealants, as an adult in my 30's, because my hygienist at Advanced Dental talked me into getting them in 4 teeth. They weren't cheap, and weren't covered by insurance. But I did it as she said otherwise I was likely to get cavities. So imagine my utter surprise when I was told I had cavities - wait for it - under my sealants!! Because the edges had lifted up. And I guess we don't chalk it up to shoddy work, no - I had to get two cavities filled and had to pay up for that as well. My ultimate disgust came when I went in for my last cleaning (probably 2+ years ago now). The dentist was too busy to see me, so I left after my cleaning. Imagine my surprise when I got a call to say that the dentist reviewed my X-rays after I left and I had several cavities and needed to come in IMMEDIATELY to get them filled at x cost. There were numerous calls and they even sent me a letter - just trying to make that money!! My favorite line that an employee said to me "but your benefits expire at the end of the year - you'll lose them if you don't use them!" To which I responded that I didn't find it a "benefit" to drill into healthy teeth! Maybe it all would have been more credible if they had first suggested coming back in for the dentist to actually examine me...which was already part of the services my insurance paid for on that visit. But instead they went to the nuclear option, willing to drill into healthy teeth for a small payout. The reason I have waited so long to post this? I wanted additional opinions. I have now been to two different dentists, both doing X-rays and exams, and to date have had NO cavities and NO additional procedures performed. According to my current dentist, I have a couple teeth that had shadows on the X-rays, but go figure...ON EXAMINATION she said they are okay and we'll just watch to make sure nothing changes. That's the reason we have the dentist examine us, to prevent unnecessary work based solely on an X-ray. So it's up to you if you choose Advanced Dental. I was a loyal patient for many years. But the focus in the practice seems to have shifted. If you feel like something is not right - speak up! Get a second opinion. You only have one set of teeth and you don't want them drilled up unnecessarily. read more

Relentless with the calls, texts, and emails. First of all, I clicked the link online for an advertisement for $1000 off on the Invisalign. Enter my name, email address and requested some information about their advertisement. I finally call and ask a question about wether or not they would be able to repair my fillings before getting fitted for Invisalign. I spoke to a lady. She said she would check with the doctors and get back to me. She never got back to me. The phone calls, texts, and emails continued so I call back again. I spoke with a different lady and she was so rude I want to go to the office and slap the snottyness right out of her. Disrespectful. If you want my money your going to have to change up the customer service. Sorry to the lady doesn't like her job speaking to people on the phone: find a new job! read more

30 + years of Mike Maroon, he bought out my prior dentist, and I stayed with him. 3/2018- I had complained for over a year my mouth hurt,full xrays on my final visit and all Maroon suggested was a nightguard. 2 weeks later- I had a rotting tooth extracted, a large cyst under it was eroding my jaw and had been there a long time my new dentist told me. Thank you for many years of care but leaving your practice was a Godsend. My new dentist saved my life- no more chronic jaw pain and infection, no more triazolam, and no more extreme dental fear either. And no $$$$$ shock. read more

For all of my dental needs, I trust Advanced Dental. Dr. Michael Maroon and his professional team. They are caring, fun, and up on the latest innovation and technology. Your health starts in your teeth. Having once fear of the dentist some time ago, to now having my teeth in check every 3 months. Thank you Dr. Maroon!!!! 17 years strong Angelo García read more

More concerned about money than patients!!!! I had a consultation about a bad tooth, staff was great, no complaints there. Before I could make the appointment to remove the tooth I had to pay half of what it cost to remove the tooth. Removing was painless, no issues there. I needed the receipt to forward to my HSA and upon review it had not been submitted to my insurance company when they charged me 500+, not okay with that. My insurance covers 80% of tooth extractions, they are in-network and should have billed me afterward. I reach out to them, I'm told they know what the agreed amount is from insurance and if they pay, I'll be refunded. What would have happened if I didn't know what my insurance covered? Who has 500+ dollars laying around during Covid? I'm only supposed to pay 20%, btw asking me for my credit card after they numbed me up is unprofessional. They also billed my insurance for an office visit for that same appointment. So I filed a complaint with my insurance company. Marking people pay to secure an appointment, asking for the balance in the middle of the procedure and not waiting for the insurance is unacceptable, they have now loss me as a customer!! read more

A very upbeat dentist office, staff was amazing and knowledgeable and very efficient. All state of the art equipment. I felt very comfortable and at ease. Thank u so much Can't wait to see my knew denture implants I'm excited read more

So glad I found Advanced Dental! I just had a few cavities filled and was treated by Dr. Sheth. Her and the dental assistant at the time of my appointment ( I believe her name was Tia) were both amazing. I had visited four other dentists previously until I finally found a place I liked. I have an issue with my jaw which makes keeping my mouth open for long periods of time fairly uncomfortable. Every other dentist I had seen either ignored it or found it an annoyance but didn't bother to mention anything to help me/ explain what is going on. Dr. Sheth was the first dentist to really look at my care as a whole and take the time to explain what was wrong/ accommodate my discomfort. Overall it was a great experience and I have definitely found my new dentist! They are a bit pricier, but not as extremely priced as other reviews say. If you are willing to spend a bit more for great care I would highly recommend them. read more

Funny I found Advanced Dental on Yelp. Thanks goodness I decided to call them. Today was my first visit and what a good experience. Everything was explained to me and everyone there was very friendly. I can see myself and husband will make this our new dental home. Thanks again!! See you soon read more

I can't speak highly enough about Dr Maroon and his team. What a top notch detists Office. We had a pleasant experience from the time we walked in to the time we left. I can't thank Dr Maroon enough. read more

I just LOVE Advanced Dental! The doctors, hygienists, assistants and front office team is so knowledgeable, professional and caring! I had my veneers redone by Dr. M and he did an amazing job. I was really nervous because I had my first set done in Atlanta by a cosmetic dentist who treats celebrities BUT Dr. M is better! More affordable and pays attention to details! I highly recommend for general dental work and definitely COSMETIC! Not all veneers are created equal. Dr. M is the BEST! read more

Felt very comfortable for my first visit everything in there is high tech and modern.

I've been seeing Dr. Maroon at Advanced Dental, in Berlin, CT for my dental work for well over 10 years. I first went to him for a consult for some repair work. I had a broken front tooth and wondered what route was the best for me. My mouth was filled with teeth that had root canals, crowns, multiple fillings and looked like mosaic tiles. Unfortunately, my genetics gave me soft teeth and my history was poor dentistry. I had a chipped front tooth. I lived with it for quite a while trying to figure out what to do and what this was going to cost, what made the most sense for the investment I had to make. I had to decide if I should have it repaired, veneered, crowned, or what. My teeth were crooked, discolored, and mismatched. So, I wondered if I should fix the broken tooth and have my two front teeth mismatched more, or do 2 front teeth, or 4, 6, or more. I went to 3 other dentists in the area to get recommendations and asked for references. I called the references and decided to trust Dr. Maroon with an expensive project in my mouth. One of the three references indicated that he was an artist and a perfectionist. I have to agree! There was so much work to be done in my mouth and the recommendation was extreme, but necessary. I decided to have Dr. Maroon crown all my top teeth! I now have straight teeth, that look natural, don't discolor with coffee & tea, and that work better than my own teeth ever did! The bonus is that I get compliments that "Your smile is beautiful!" or "your teeth look so good". Most of my bottom teeth were also crowns, but over the years, as more fillings & crowns had to be replaced, Dr. Maroon matched the color of them. Last year, I finally had the last teeth, center bottom, crowned. They were in less need than all the other teeth, but very crooked and always had plaque build between them. Now all the teeth match, are straight, and all of them look good. The job is complete! I'm a pretty practical person, and fiscally conservative. But the new look is amazing! It does wonders for confidence! Occasionally, I look at the before and after pictures, such a major change! And I'd recommend seeing Dr. Maroon for suggestions for solving dental problems. I wish I had done this long ago! You can get the recommendation from him and discuss how you can proceed according to your schedule and your pocketbook. It was expensive! But I expect to have my teeth work for me for many more years! And I am enjoying the improvement. I work at taking care of the investment I have in my mouth! They have held up very well! I love that I can floss, brush, with no appliances or partial plates. Nothing comes out! They are just like natural teeth, only better! Edyta is my regular dental hygienist and always does a great job. I enjoy her personality and her values, so that makes the experience nice too. She takes her work seriously and I'm always pleased with her work and her evaluation of my dental situation. I'm happy to recommend Dr. Maroon and his staff for major or minor dental care! And I would suggest, that for something so major, that you do see multiple dentists and ask for references! Dr. Maroon takes pride in his work, wants to make it right, and has the experience of doing great dental work. Yes, his is an artist and a perfectionist when it comes to teeth! read more

I love the hygenist Adid (I appolize for misspelling!) in the Berlin office of Advanced Dental. She is always smiling and she cares about her work. I have always hated getting my teeth cleaned. It hurts, my gums are sensitive and hygienists at other places are rough in their technique. She is the total opposite. She goes slow, she is gentle and she checks in with you to see how you're doing. Even though my anxiety and fear may seem silly or unwarranted to others, she takes it seriously. This is much appreciated!! Thank you Adid. See you in 6 months! read more

Just to give you an idea, they charged $490 for a filling. A FILLING. (After insurance, it was $329). At the first appointment, they were calling it "binding" and using other terms for it (I know very little about dental terminology, but I do know when I am getting ripped off and have since looked up a lot more information), but when I got to the appointment, they said filling. I have never paid anything close to $300 for any fillings, no matter what the insurance. UPDATE: I originally had a yelp account under my middle name and last initial, which I sometimes go by. Despite accusations otherwise by this business below, I was a real client and will gladly email copies of my bill to anyone who asks. And you are the most expensive "dentist" I have ever been to. read more

I was looking for options to improve my smile before my wedding, but I wasn't sure what would be best. I naturally have smaller teeth and over the years the composite placed on them had chipped and stained. Dr. Maroon recommended 10 veneers for me and it completely transformed my smile. I was able to look at many before and after examples of cases he has done in the past. Knowing Dr. Maroon has almost 30 years of experience helped me to trust in the process. I feel beautiful and confident now. I'm so glad I found Dr. Maroon and the team at Advanced Dental. You will enjoy the professionalism, knowledge and care the entire team provides to their patients. read more

It's definitely a well-run ship over there - nice offices, state-of-the-art equipment, proficient staff. My hygienist is very nice, and was gentle, but thorough. read more

Dr. Maroon and his staff were so amazing with me. I've had very bad experiences with dentists and have an extreme fear of dental offices. Advanced Dental was so understanding and accommodating to me! They were gentle and did an amazing job!! Thank you Dr Maroon !!! read more

I have been going to Advanced Dental for about 9 years and I have had nothing but top notch service. Dr. Maroon and his staff are one to be admired and commended. They are not only professional but at this point, they feel like family. They have always been open and straight forward about pricing and insurance. They sit down with you and explain all your payment options and what needs to be done. I have had everything from zoom teeth whitening service, silver fillings switched over to composite ones and even veneers. I have been so happy and grateful for all my services. And may I mention that Dr. M. is truly so gentle during procedures. Dental cleanings with the hygienists feel like a spa day for me. My whole thing is you get what you pay for and I have only had 5 star service. I love this place so much that my 6 year old daughter has been seen by Advanced Dental every 6mos for the last 3 years and no cavities. She loves going too! I will also be sending my twin 2 year olds this Aug when they both turn 3. read more

I have had a string of bad dental experiences since age 16. Let's just say, i considered never going to a dentist again because of some of them, some of them were that horrible and scarring. But, I did get an excellent referral from my coworker and decided to take one last chance. From beginning to end I was blown away, starting right when I walked in the front door. Their customer service is the best hands down. You actually feel like a client paying for a service and getting treated with respect. I read some negative reviews claiming, to many confirmation calls, a gift card in exchange for moving an appointment, and expensive. Well, as a hair stylist, people often miss the one confirmation call they are given and typically claim they never got one, I have to move clients appointments and offer them nothing but and apology so I think a gift card is a nice gesture, and being in the service industry, you get what you pay for people. I went to aspen dental spent just as much money and regret every cent of it. I don't mind paying 100% out of pocket when I know I'm getting quality work and I am well informed of what is going on. They also have a lot of payment options that someone will go over with you in a private area so no need for embarrassment. For the first time, I really enjoyed my experience and can't wait to go back! read more

I love this office! The staff is very friendly, fun, and knowledgeable. I recommend all my friends and family to them and get a credit towards treatment for them coming in too. Dr Mike is a true artist and comedian, him and Amber could have their own reality TV show! Keep up the good work guys! read more

Best dental office hands down! Dr. Sheth and all of the staff was incredible yesterday when I called to see if they could squeeze me in, no less than an hour after calling I was sitting in the dentist chair. Everyone was so polite and attentive as they always are when I come in. Thank you! read more

I had the privilege of going to the Advanced Dental office twice, and I surely hope to take another trip!!! After receiving a cleaning and professional whitening, I couldn't stop smiling. I was also given trays to perfect the whitening at any time. The people working in the office certainly care for their patients! Can't wait to see you guys soon :) read more

If you don't have insurance they give you a price and after you pay they send you a bill for more money. It happens more than one. They play with the costumers money trying to charge you over. I'm planing to make a complaint at the police department. read more

First I'd like by saying Advanced Dental is the friendly dental office I've ever been to. They have outstanding dentists, dental assistants and hygienists! Doctor Maroon and Doctor Mancini have helped me out so much with my mouth. I sadly had to get a root canal done, and Doctor Mancini, Danielle and Jen did an amazing job. My temp crown that they made me and the cement they used was amazing!! I had no problems with it cracking or falling out and I can't say I'm careful with it either :) Advanced Dental office in Berlin is very clean and homey. I say homey because they have snacks and beverages for you In the waiting room as well as free wifi, TVs in all the patient rooms, and everyone is very social with you and always smiling, overall great atmosphere! I'm now in Dental Assistanting school and have shadowed a few times, to watch all the DA's. All the girls are very knowledgable and are helping me better understand my duties in being a good DA. Thanks Advanced Dental read more

I went to Advanced Dental because I was referred by a friend. The entire staff was very nice and friendly. I knew i was going to need alot of work done. They sat me down and gave me a detailed list of what the costs would be and what my insurance would pay and what I was responsible for. Everyone there always does their best to make sure that you are comfortable. After I finished getting my fillings, I still wanted to fix my smile. My front teeth had a gap and i hated it. I couldn't afford veneers so they were able to figure out another solution for me. Dr Maroon bonded my teeth. The job was amazing. You cant even tell that any work was done!!!! I'm so happy now and always have a big smile! Couldn't have been happier! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Maroon for almost five years now having moved to CT from NC. I have consistently received outstanding care.

The staff are courteous & professional, & they go out of their way to make patients comfortable. Kudos to you for providing such a high quality of care! read more
