If dental phobia has been stopping you from going to the dentist for years, think no further and…read morecall this practice! I am absolutely amazed by everyone at this office. From the receptionist/ scheduler Karen, to the hygienist Alex, and of course the dentist, Dr. Chiou. Every point of contact I made has blow me away with their friendliness, professionalism and knowledge. We moved to Newton right before the pandemic and we have been looking for a dental practice for our family to call home. I came here after having not the best experience in another practice (which took all the courage in me to get to), I thought I'd give this highly rated practice a shot and get a second opinion. I am so glad I did. Dr. Chiou picked up the phone and spoke to me PRIOR to my appointment and gave me an overview of what dental work might be needed after looking at my X-rays. After learning about my absolute fear of Novocain, he reassured me that everything was going to be ok. The hygienist Alex was actually the one who gave me the Novocain, and performed my deep cleaning and she is amazing- skilled, patient and gentle. She made my whole experience beyond bearable and frankly, painless! The office is modern, clean, and awkwardly calming for a dental office. I have even sent my husband in and he couldn't be more happy and impressed. Thank you again, everyone at Newton dental group!

I have been exploring dental offices in the area since 2024 and have been disappointed by most of…read morethem(check my dental review history). Beacon Family Dental is the only one so far that truly cares about their patients, whereas many other offices only focus on making more profit. Everything here is extremely transparent and professional, from the front desk to the dentist and hygienist. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a dentist to give them a try. First of all, I wasn't sure whether my insurance would cover the dental expenses, the front desk staff carefully reviewed my insurance and explained the coverage breakdown step by step. I've visited four dental offices in the past year, and no one else has ever done this, all of the other front desk I spoke to brushed off these questions and only tried to persuade me into buying more of their services. Second, my hygienist, Samantha, genuinely cares about her patients. She did my cleaning in a super gentle way, and she kept asking me to let her know immediately if I felt any discomfort during the process. Last but not least, Dr. Liu examined my teeth, noticed some bleeding, and suggested a partial deep cleaning only if necessary. This was by far the fairest advice I've received. At other offices, the first recommendation was always a full deep cleaning. Overall, my experience at Beacon Family Dental has been outstanding! Their transparency, professionalism, and genuine concern for patient comfort truly set them apart from other dental offices I've visited. I finally feel confident that my dental health is in trustworthy hands, and I will absolutely continue coming here and recommending them to friends and family.

Be careful of billing fraud!…read more I visited Beacon Family Dental a month ago for re-cement of my implant. Because they were not sure whether insurance would cover re-cement, they charged me $236 onsite for the full price of re-cement and promised would refund me if the insurance does cover it. A week later I received statement from my insurance showing they did cover most of the re-cement. I waited for another month for the refund but didn't receive any, so I reached out to the dental office. I am attaching their response below. The last message sounded very unprofessional and rude to me. To justify no-refund, they then resubmitted an additional claim for implant maintenance and charged $315. However, they never mentioned this service to me before, not to mention "told you insurance won't cover it". They charged me upfront $236 which was the exact full amount they submitted for re-cement but nothing else. I never requested for or was aware of the "implant maintenance service". It sounded like a makeup thing they came up later to deny the refund. Very disappointed at the staff's dishonesty.

I've gotten fillings before from other dentists and they never hurt. I went back to my old hometown dentist and she said these are the worst fillings she's ever seen. She took photos for me incase I wanted to sue for negligence. I never post bad reviews but today the filling fell out while I was eating. I've had many fillings done and I've never had one only last a year and fall out while eating. Do not go here they are horrible dentists. I always think people who post bad reviews usually just complain about silly things but this is seriously an issue that they do not know what they are doing and your risking your health by going here.

At 70 years old I began going to FANIKOS, she examined my teeth, took a mouth of X-rays even cleaned teeth and did 6 filling at one appointment. After a visit last year she said I needed to see another dentist ( specialist) to deal with under crown cavities, I signed a release to send them my X-rays and booked my next cleaning at her, FANIKOS office. 6 months go by I get reminders about my upcoming cleaning and then was told I had been released from FANIKOS to the specialist...yup thrown out of a dentist practice because she did not want to deal with any of my dental work. Never have i had a doctor refuse to see me....I would think doctors are obligated by oath never to refuse anybody, Well at 73 years old I was thrown out because she did not want to deal with my mouth anymore. She suggests a specialist you better see him/her because once you sign the release form to send them X-rays, you will be out on the street like me. GOOIOOOOD NEWS. I am in Florida. I went to another dentist in FLL. THE DENTIST saw me and I explained what front teeth I needed repair. She did not hesitate treating me like an old patient. Repaired 3 and I'm going back for more repairs.....and a cleaning, this is how a dentist, a doctor or any professional should be.

I came here because my daughters hygienist left the other practice I went to, so I thought I could…read moretrust west Roxbury smiles pediatric dentistry. But This dental office is horrible. I really don't appreciate that when I get my child's teeth cleaned that only a dental assistant does the cleaning procedure and within 5 minutes she's finished. She barely counted the teeth. She took two bite wing x-rays that came out rather dark for my liking. I couldn't see every tooth surface in those 2 X-rays well, so was unable to fully read it. She didn't floss every tooth. She complained that my daughters teeth are too tight to floss. She didn't scale the teeth with the dental instruments to take away any plaque or calculus. She didn't use a mouth mirror or explorer to check any teeth. She didn't have enough Prophy paste application in the prophylaxis instrument to thoroughly brush her teeth. Once it was gone she didn't apply anymore so that to me it's like brushing with no paste. My daughter couldn't rinse out after the prophy paste cleaning with water or mouthwash. She said spit in a bib. I don't call that a thorough cleaning. I learned dentistry and worked there in tufts university of pediatric dentistry and I worked in two private offices also for many years. and I've assisted the dentist with every possible dental procedure in every dental specialty. I'm very particular in how I do everything. I've never cleaned the teeth by myself alone/unsupervised. A dental hygienist did that. I assisted the dentist with everything as a team. A good cleaning for a child is up to 30 minutes not 5 minutes. The dentists should think through how they set up their office and how they perform the dental procedures more carefully. It upsets me that the assistant has to do everything by herself. She might as well be a dentist. She's a underpayed hygienist in my opinion. It infuriates me to know you let them clean the children's teeth in five minutes and think the job is finished well. That to me is called brushing their teeth only. What made me more upset is when the dentist dr tarifard came she used the explorer a little said it looks clean anyway but let me check the X-ray just in case, then put fluoride and says drink water after the fluoride. I've never heard of this. You rinse your mouth after the cleaning then when you are done rinsing you put the fluoride on and keep it there. That's my preferable way of doing it. The time there was a waste of our time. The dentist says She can eat now and then says don't brush her teeth tonight. The dentist and assistant knew I'm a dental assistant and they asked do you assist now I said I did since I'm 14 years old in high school and I'm 32 now and when I had my daughter I chose to stay home and take care of her fully and their response is oh now you take care of one child now not many children like us. Good job mommy keeping her teeth good. I was so irritated I will never bring my daughter back there again. I will take her to a well educated hospital. Not a half job private practice. Do a better job for people! A dental assistant job is to assist the dentist not be a pretend hygienist or dentist! I only gave one star to the receptionist for being kind to us. She is pleasant. I specifically asked the assistant why are you cleaning the teeth by yourself and she says because the way I am with them is good. I would never understand that. You don't have the title to do the cleaning procedure by yourself. That's called a dental hygienist. Call me old fashioned. But that's the way I was taught. I might as well do the cleaning myself at home if that's the case. That's really a no no. A hygienist has to do it. In my opinion, A dental assistant can do everything possible by helping/assisting the dentist with everything, not doing the whole cleaning procedure unsupervised or just cleaning the operatory and suction the mouth and poke at teeth. That's doing nothing. Five minutes is not a dental procedure. Before I came to west roxbury smiles, I researched that The dentist dr tarifard did the three year program in tufts pediatric dentistry department. So I thought oh she's like me. They will be good dentist then. but sadly I found out she still doesn't do the procedures as they taught her. She makes the assistant do it. It's poke a little look then say everything is clean. I was in tufts pediatric also for many more years than that. They do step by step thoroughly. I didn't show anger because my daughter was with me but I am very upset with west Roxbury smiles in the way they do things. I know A nice hospital hygienist will do the procedures much better than this office did.
