Update: I went down from 5 stars to 2. I stopped going to this practice because I was seeing Dr…read more Sahani and Beth less and less, and with each return to the office I was forced to see a new dentist and receptionist. I didn't like this and was growing frustrated with having to re-explain my dental history each time to a new person. Very difficult to build rapport when the staff is constantly changing. While that frustrated me it's not what made me leave. What made me leave was the fact that I had a crown placed by them and it broke 2 or 3 times within 1-2 yrs. I learned the hard way that Dr. Sahani doesn't put a warranty on his work. This gets very expensive as insurance won't cover the same tooth again for 5 years. I left for another dentist who guarantees their crowns for 5 years, and they were also appalled at the materials that Dr. Sahani used on my crown. They said if a crown keeps breaking there is a stronger material that can be used and they couldn't believe another dentist would keep using a cheaper material on me when they knew it was breaking. I was honest with Dr. Sahanis team when they called me to schedule my next cleaning: I said, your office doesn't provide warranties and I can't afford to shell out $2,000 three times in one year. They just said Ok and let a patient of many years walk out the door. This practice used to be one that I recommended to everyone, but I can no longer recommend them and suggest everyone ask about warranties before getting any major dental work done.

I started going to Sahani Dental for Invisalign and regular checkups, but I had so many negative…read moreexperiences that I switched as soon as my Invisalign treatment was finished. Dr. Sahani is an extremely friendly person, but I was not impressed with his dental care or his employees. First, they did charge me or tried to charge me more than their quoted price three separate times. When I had my invisalign consultation, I was quoted a promotional price for the treatment. When they billed me for it, they tried to charge me for the regular price. I had to call and send emails before they said they'd honor the promotional price. Additionally, part of the promotion was free retainers at the end. When I finished the treatment, they tried to charge me for the retainers, and it took more calls and waiting to get this sorted out. Another time during a visit, one of the receptionists charged me double what she should have and it took days before I got a refund. I am not sure if the office if just disorganized or what, but I felt that I always had to be on guard to make sure I was charged correctly. Secondly, they sent me texts last minute to reschedule many of my appointments. Once, they texted me two hours before my appointment asking if I could reschedule because they were closed for renovations. Their office is on my walk home, and as I passed by I saw through the window someone being treated at the time my appointment would have been. This seemed so strange to me, and it was even more so frustrating because they had rescheduled so many of my appointments previously. As the final straw, I went for a regular cleaning/checkup and they took X-rays. They said everything looked great, but one week later one of my wisdom teeth erupted. Two months later, a second one erupted. I just had to find a new dentist and they told me I definitely need them extracted, and they were baffled at how Sahani dental could not have seen this coming. All of these experiences were so ridiculous and frustrating, I cannot recommend this dentist to anyone.

I had my first visit with this dentist and can't say enough things.

This is a huge departure from the typical Dr.'s Office vibe of being hustled through by the staff and physician to get out as quickly as possible.

Then as I was leaving the person at the front desk asked me when I would be coming back (so that the dentist could actually see me.) No one was apologetic at all. Knowing that I may not be coming back, I said I would need to think about it. Several months later I get a text notification from them to confirm my appointment for March 25 (which I never scheduled.) Had to call to cancel and appointment that I never even made. Overall, just a weird time.

I went a year without a dentist because I didn't know where to go in the area. I found Dr…read more Kosmidis through my dental insurance company's website. I've been a patient for three years now and I've only had good experiences. Sherice at the front desk is always helpful with reminding me of appointments and answering my insurance/billing questions. Vanessa is a good hygienist. She and the other hygienists have convinced me to start flossing for the first time in my life. Their office is convenient to my office in Kendall Square and with an early morning or lunch time appointment, I don't miss any work. They have been ready for me on-time for each of my visits. Dr. Kosmidis has filled two of my cavities and installed one crown. (I think it's called a crown... maybe a "cap"... whatever) Each procedure as well as all my cleanings have gone well. I'm not sure what else to review about the dentist. Oh, he has a cool CAD/CAM mill that he used to fabricate my cap (crown?). As an engineer I enjoyed watching the machine create my new tooth part from a white block of ceramic.

I do not have insurance, and thus the fact that it was going to cost me $700 to get two amalgam fillings (silver) that were going to be clearly visible when I smiled was not pleasing to me.... in fact, I started bawling in the dentist chair. (Dramatic, I know, but look, I've never had cavities before... it was all too much to handle at 9 am on Monday morning!) Luckily, I made some calls, and found out that Gentle Dental charges $310 for white fillings on the very worst possible cavity (ie, the entire tooth is destroyed).... so now it looks like my fillings are going to be white and someone around $450. Also, if you are going to need a lot of dental care, Gentle Dental is the main provider for Delta Dental, an insurance company that provides reasonable independent insurance packages. Thus, if you are currently going to Dr. Jean-Mary without any insurance or with independent insurance, I suggest you look elsewhere. ... and remember to floss!
