I've been meaning to leave a review for years, as LeClair is the best dentist I have ever found (of…read moreabout a half dozen). Very thorough cleanings by competent hygienists, and I very much appreciate Dr. Adriene's approach and manner - she is straightforward, but willing to 'keep an eye' on a situation. In the past dentists generally criticized my teeth and recommended fillings "to avoid" situations. In the 7 years I have been coming to LeClair they have not upsold me once, and haven't pursued a single filling (wow!). My teeth are doing well. I moved away from beverly over 5 years ago, but still make the trek back every 6 months for a cleaning.

At my first dental cleaning, Adrienne LeClair made me feel horrible about my teeth. That should…read morehave made me run and never return. But I did. I proceeded to have some fillings redone. One of the fillings did not feel right and felt infected. I went back not once, not twice, but three times. On the third visit, they redid the filling. I had zero relief. They referred me to an endodontist. It turned out I had a raging infection, and I needed an emergency root canal. Then, I needed the crown placed. Adrienne used all of her force to place the crown on my tooth. In my head, I thought this can't be normal. Due to the level of force, a large chunk of cement was stuck between my teeth. Adrienne "flossed" it out and told me to keep flossing until it came out. After the horrible experience, I found a new dentist (who, by the way, complimented my teeth on the first visit!). In the meantime, LeClair was difficult when it came to sending my records. The crown tooth was still bothering me. It took over A YEAR of visits for the dental hygienist at the new practice to work out the cement. If she hadn't gotten it out, I would have needed a new root canal. They have to redo one of Adrienne's fillings, and the current dentist said, "You don't need a dental degree to see that this was not filled properly." Looking at some of the other reviews, I am not alone in my sentiments. Go to Martins Dental in Beverly or Northern Star Dental in Danvers. Both are excellent practices.

Dr. Franciskato has provided me with the best dental care since I first began seeing her mid 2025.

There is never a long wait to be seen once you arrive and the services are completed quickly with quality and care. I highly recommend this office!

The appointment did not include a cleaning, which was not specified in the pre-appointment communication. I had told them that I just had x-rays from my previous dentist and did not need them (since I do not currently have dental insurance, cost is important to me) but they did not listen and gave me x-rays anyways. The dentist was rather aggressive in discussing an unrelated medical issue (which I already am managing with my PCP) and pushing some very expensive dental work. I do not understand how so many people have left positive reviews for this office, and do not plan to go back.

The first thing I noticed was how quiet , clean and how pleasant and helpful the office staff was. I was given a lovely young dentist and realized it was a young lady my son graduated high school with. Now if I will let a"kid" work on me , you must realize I was confident with Dr Dawna. She is gentle and knowledgeable. She and the office see that you are seen asap. and every thing is always explained. I would highly recommend the the practice. They are knowledgeable, positive and make things a lot easier for a nervous patient.

Horrible and that tooth needs to be redone.

The bad part is Dr. Cramer. She seems to feed off of anxious patients and makes comments right off the bat that are unsettling, confusing and stressful. I need a lot dental work done and really wanted a cleaning and I have a broken tooth. After some strange and confusing comments about my tooth I left in tears, again. I will find a new dentist that has a little more dental and people experience. I was very upset but I may have dodged a bullet not letting her do the work after her comments. If you don't need any work at all, or anything more than just a check up, it's probably fine but if you do, I would suggest a second opinion. She may be a good dentist, but she's had me running twice now before work even got done with her people skills.

Dr Frasca was wonderful, my old dentist retired and I have gone to Dr Frasca for the past 9 years.

I used to scoff at those unfortunates who fear dentists. Then it happened to me- the awful…read moreexperience- and I vowed to never ever visit the dentist again unless under heavy sedation. Fast forwarded a year and a half later and I was in total dental agony. Bullied by my coworkers who were tired of listening to my moaning and groaning, I called up Gentle Dental of Beverly and they fit me in that afternoon. I was trembling when the hygienist called my name and led me to the chair and I blurted out, "I'm in agony, but I'm even more scared of the dentist!" and told my traumatizing story of having my teeth drilled by a dentist who was too impatient to let the novocaine take effect. The hygienist was very sweet and assured me that in her 5+ years of working with Dr. Malmquist she had never seen a patient have a miserable experience. I also learned from her that there are different techniques to applying novocaine and that a good dentist would take the time to ensure that I was properly numb. After x-rays, Dr. Malmquist came into the room and introduced himself. Dr. Malmquist was very calm and soothing, took the time to explain the work that needed to be done and listened to my fears and concerns. Also, before I made a decision about whether to proceed with the work, one of the office staff came back with a print out of cost estimates. I decided to proceed and reminded Dr. Malmquist once again that whatever the last dentist had done with the novocaine hadn't worked. As soon as Dr. Malmquist applied the novocaine to my mouth I felt instant relief from my week long tooth ache. He let the novocaine work for a few minutes before drilling. I tensed expectantly while he was drilling, waiting for the pain that never came. In five minutes, he was done, fixing the minor cavity that had caused me so much pain and I never felt a thing. Thanks to Dr. Malmquist and the staff at Beverly Gentle Dental, I can once again count myself amongst the lucky few who "don't fear the dentist." (And the best part- the staff at Beverly Gentle Dental called my ex-dentist and broke up with them for me and arranged for my records to be sent over!)

Been going to them for a couple years and they have some serious issues with administrative…read moredisorganization. I've had multiple cleanings that needed to be rescheduled 3-4 times. The last straw: I went in for a cleaning in March and they turned me away because of a health problem I had in February, and they said I had to wait 6 months or get a letter from my doctor. That part is fine and understandable, and I got a letter from my doctor saying I'm clear after 3 months. However, when I went back in early June the showed me a form that I needed to have my doctor sign, because the doctor letter was from March. I had never seen this form before , and if they provided me the form in March they would have been able to treat me at my appointment in June. Anyway, they're just very unprofessional and disorganized and I don't recommend them.

The worst dentist office I ever been to.

This office seems to be all about money minus the actual kind of care and the treatment to help people get their dental care needs met they don't offer much else but waste your time and your insurance companies money for care that they don't even provide aside from the initial cleaning service they do cleaning services and they also provide the care that is not covered and expensive and unnecessary for patients, but aren't willing to actually give them real time and attention to fix the problems they are experiencing and don't care about saving teeth they care about charging the insurance companies even when they don't do any care They will clean your teeth however that's the extent of the care you will likely receive if you need any other kind of work done they don't care to help they will however book your cleaning within weeks and they don't have the time to book a filling thats 4 to 6 months out smh and they do offer the option of an extractions, unfortunately they aren't willing to provide that in their office they will likely send you elsewhere to have extractions provided , however thankfully for me the Dr whom was to do my extraction looked at my X-ray and was honest with me and asked why I was having my tooth removed and not getting any kind of saving treatment done on it and thankfully I switched my dentist to a different office and I still have that tooth that they would have had me get it extracted and it was not at that point and level of having it be extracted, but thankfully their are still good dentist out there that don't just care about the money only and they actually care for the people they bill without hesitation and sometimes without any actual care provided and i was hesitant to make this post but **if it saves someone else's time and unnecessary stress and pain it's worth the effort because this offices only interested in money minus the actual quality care involved they are not a good option for most people who need more than a cleaning kind of care but if you have the kind of teeth that only need cleanings and just the yearly cleanings than This is alright, an maybe to do unnecessary procedures that are expensive and not even covered by insurance companies because they aren't even necessary in the first place but if you can pay out of pocket for them then you got yourself a good chance at getting those needs met here, but If you need real care and want more than a polishing treatment and yearly cleaning kind of experience then go elsewhere .
