Extremely rude receptionist. This place doesn't care about your health. they keep harassing you to do procedures just so they can get money out of your insurance. Coming here is NOT a good experience. Thankfully I've never had issues with my teeth other than root canal 20 years ago with no issues. Yet these guys kept harassing me to put a cap which would take away 3/4 of my existing tooth. At the beginning we agreed for X-rays every 2 years, but they harass me to get X-rays at every visit. With no issues I don't see why Xrays need to be the moment my insurance is willing to pay for it. Go to a doctor who cares about your oral health. These people only care to see how much money they can extract with whatever procedure they can do on you. read more

Dr. Kolnes is a very kind and patient dentist. He has excellent bedside manners. He has many years of experience in his craft. His office is clean, well designed, and located in a very nice business building. There is a parking lot on site. His employees, from the receptionist to clinical support staff, are very professional. They offer great customer service and they are skillful at what they do. They always check in with patients to ensure their patients' comfort throughout the procedure. This is not the cheapest dental office but you can tell the difference as to what you're getting from the time you walk in to the level of care and service you receive. read more

I'm a bit frustrated, but I just want to state the facts. Today was supposed to be my second deep cleaning session along with a cavity filling. Since I had already paid the full amount during my last visit, I expected this to be a straightforward appointment. However, halfway through the procedure, the dentist suddenly mentioned that there was an additional cavity. Lying there in the chair, I had no real opportunity to refuse, so they proceeded with the filling. After the treatment, I went to the front desk, only to be told that my insurance had reached its limit and I would need to pay an additional $195 out of pocket. Honestly, I find this quite unreasonable. read more

It wasn't until I went to my new dentist that I realized this place is really a money grab business. I came here a few years back and my dentist was Dr. Khoury. I believe on my first or second visit Dr. Khoury claimed that I needed 2 crowns immediately (along with other cavities). This maxed out my insurance for the year so I ended up paying a large amount for co-pay and out of pocket for future cleanings. A few weeks of having my crowns put in, both of them fell out so I had to go back and get them put back in. Dr. Khoury did not seem to believe me when I told him that they were starting to hurt and told me to "use sensodyne toothpaste" to help. Yikes. After that, every single time I went in they would miraculously find a new cavity (there wasn't a visit where a cavity was not found) and tried very hard to push invisaline on me. I had braces so my teeth are very straight so it did not make any sense to me. Dr. Khoury claimed that I had a slight "overbite" and me paying $2500 out of pocket for invisaline would correct that. Fast forward to my new dentist, who says that I do not have an overbite and do not have cavities where Dr. Khoury claimed that I had. I believe that I did not even need crowns in the first place. There was a story a few years ago about a Dr. who got arrested for giving people crowns when they didn't really need them and I would not be surprised if they looked at the records here something similar was going on. read more

Still 5 star service from this office. From the Dr, to the hygienist to the receptionist!! All are phenomenal! I went in for my invisaline 1st visit today. Quick in & out. I finally decided to have them done and am very excited to see how they turn out 40 weeks from today. Dr Khoury was very thorough with his explanation of the process. The journey of invisalign is looking to a great start! Thank you all for your great service~ read more

See all

Been there for one visit. Very professional. Explicit about additional charges before redndering any service that costs more. Looking forward to more experiences read more

Dr. Khouri is a nice discovery. I found him when my kid needed a procedure and most other dentist in the area were out on vacation due to holidays. Not just the doctor, the staff is very polite and courteous. They call you in advance to remind the appointment. Also very flexible with the reschedule. I am glad I found this place! read more

Dr.Steven Klones is so knowledgeable! After waiting way too long to see the dentist my first referral was from my sister to her trustworthy dentist ‍ I was less then thrilled. So I looked up this place I was reluctant but had so much pain in I had to do something! Well let me tell you everyone here is great Martha the dental assistant was wonderful and the front staff is friendly and accommodating. Dr. Klones calmed my fears and did an amazing work on my teeth I couldn't be happier Big shout out to your office I give you A++ No more pain and a beautiful smile, feeling blessed read more

My previous dentist Dr Steinborn and hygienist Faye retired. I tried the new team who bought practice but wasn't happy. Found Dr Khoury on Yelp and was able to get appt pretty quickly. I really liked the office staff, new hygienist Marie and Dr Khoury! My dental X-rays were painless and they thoroughly explained some issues. Happy to find this team! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Khoury and Dr. Kolnes at Montague Dental Excellence for over 20 years because of their excellent service along with their caring and kindness.

Thank you all for everything ! read more

Moving to a new city is tough especially when you have no idea where to find good services. Luckily, I was referred to Dr. Khoury at Montague Dental Excellence. I have visited three times thus far and could not be happier with the service. They are open late a few days a week so I am able to get my appointment in after work. Dr. Khoury and the hygienists there are super accommodating and are willing to answer any questions or do anything to make your visit more comfortable. Their office is pretty high -tech too. They can show you a zoom-in inside your mouth, take digital snapshots, watch programming while they work on you, all while sitting in a massage chair. Would recommend to anyone, they have a lot of experience and make you feel welcome. read more

I found Dr. Kolnes through 1-800-Dentist (which I highly reccomend as well) and I have to say that I am completely satisfied. Dr. Kolnes is really friendly and makes you feel completely comfortable when you have to have some serious work done. His staff more than makes up for any short comings the actual dentist has. From the young lady that greets you to the lady that explains what your insurance will pay . . . My experience has always been pleasant and satisfactory. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Khoury and Dr. Kolnes for about 18 years now (or maybe even longer, I can't really remember). But for sure, I've been a patient before I started my Ortho in my early tween years. I truly believe my positive experience here is the reason I keep up with my dental hygiene. Surprisingly, not many people go to the dentist regularly. Here's a quick story about my traumatic experience at a different dentist: I remember I hated going to the dentist when I was around 5 and my parents always had to reschedule the appointment because I kept crying. The first dentist referred my parents to a doctor who apparently had experience working with difficult children because they had restraint systems (What?!?). I remember I was strapped to the chair, crying my eyes out with a stuff animal they gave me. Thankfully, I switched to Dr. Khoury and Dr. Kolnes when my parents came to their senses. I have to give it to the dental assistants and hygienists at Montague Dental Excellence for keeping me calm when I was younger during all cleanings and filling procedures! They knew how to distract me from any pain when I was younger and because of that, my fear of the dentist no longer existed (and it helped that they had the cool Highlights for Kids magazines!). Also, they have massage chairs! Why not relax and get your teeth cleaned at the same time? One negative is that they're only open 4 days a week, but it's nice that they have after work hours. read more

After putting off any dental work for longer than I care to admit I went to another dentist that said i needed a lot of work. I asked about sedation dentistry because of anxiety and the other dentist said they didn't offer it. I then did research on Yelp and found Dr Kolnes. I'm glad I found him! I went in for a consultation and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. His staff is truly top notch! Dr Kolnes is caring, warm, and very knowledgable. He made me feel so comfortable. I needed to get two crowns and have three fillings done. I took the anti anxiety meds and everything was a breeze. The only thing I felt was a small prick of the needle but no pain! Everything went so good. I am very pleased with the work and how they made me feel. I would highly recommend Dr Kolnes. read more

How many dentists can you say "Yay, I'm a fan" ?? Well I will say it about Dr. Kolnes. I actually found him through a Living Social deal where I got xrays and a teeth cleaning for $39. Not too shabby. I was due for my 6 month checkup and my individual dental insurance I had before wasn't that great, didn't really cover much. I always ended up paying $25 something for a teeth cleaning and it barely covered any of my fillings. I yelped their office and per the good reviews I made an appointment the same week. Their staff is super friendly and Dr. Kolnes as well. We were quite chatty during my teeth cleaning. I was pleasantly surprised to see him do the actual teeth cleaning and not have a dental assistant do it. I'm glad he's a more hands-on Dentist. I had to get one filling and they were able to schedule me in that same afternoon to do it. I got 10% off for paying that day for my filling, wish cavities weren't so expensive :(. I thought I would get a little more discount for paying cash. To top it off, Dr. Kolnes even called me the next day to make sure I was doing well after my filling! read more

Having late evening appointment hours for me is simply awesome! Drs. Khoury & Kolnes have been my dentists since I was 14 (yeah... it's been a long time, lol) and I can't say enough nice things about the staff and their new office location. Hygiene and comfort are their prime concerns and you can rest assured that they're using the latest technology to care for your pearly whites (and to keep them that way). Speaking of comfort, they have very cool massaging chairs (great if you're a little nervous or have had a loooong day) and you can even bring your own DVD to watch during your appointment (PG-only, please, people). Easy to get to and ample parking plus scheduling with the dentists has always been convenient & painless for me. Invisalign and tooth whitening are some of the services that they also provide. If you're looking for excellent dental care & really great dentists, call for an appointment: you won't be disappointed! read more

We had a wonderful experience with everyone from the beginning and up until the end of our multiple appointments at Montague Dental Excellence. The receptionists are all nice and professional in helping us with all our questions. The dental assistants made sure we were comfortable during the whole procedure. Doctor Khoury was very polite and made sure he understood everything we wanted to happen before he explained pros and cons and suggested anything that might be better to give my wife the perfect smile. His hands are light and doesn't cause any unnecessary discomfort. Overall they just want you to be happy with your smile at the end of your experience with them and they will do their best to give that to you. read more

This dental office is excellent. Modern and very clean. I needed an appointment right away, as a tooth had chipped. I was seen right away. My visit was efficient and painless. I highly recommend them. read more

I found this dental office through my own determination & hard work. The method I used was rather unconventional but I'm so glad it's working out very well. : ) I have had a few procedures done at this dental office within the last few months and have visited a total of 7 times. So I have formed some opinion of this place. Here's what I think: *The receptionists are always very welcoming and greet you when you walk in. And they remember your name after just 1 visit! Isabel really sold me on switching to this dental office when I first spoke to her on the phone to make my initial appointment. I kept her on the phone for a long time and I felt she genuinely understood my concerns and reassured me that I would be well taken care of by the staff of this office. *They're always on-time with their appointments. I've never had to wait to be seen. *All dental assistants here are very friendly, gentle and more importantly, like well oiled machines, they work extremely well with the dentists. As a result, this office gets the job done very efficiently. I think Marie is who I have. :) *Dr.Kolnes is my dentist and he has pretty much all the qualities you want to look for in a good dentist. He is skilled, gentle, keeps you informed each step of the way. He never rush to get things done and is always more than happy to answer any questions I have (and my inquisitive self throws random dental questions at him all the time!). He's not out to rip patients off by suggesting unnecessary procedures (Sad to say, I can't say the same about a lot of the other dental offices in the area.)and the pricing on various dental procedures is very reasonable. And one thing that I really like about Dr. Kolnes is that he never bad mouth dental work done by any one my previous dentists and I've had a lot done in the past. As strange as it may sound, this is a quality I value a lot in a dentist but it's extremely hard to come by. *Dr. Khoury who is the other dentist has known & worked with Dr. Kolnes for a long time. I've had the pleasure of having Dr.Khoury work on me as well. While the experience was brief, it was a good one. He got the job done quickly and like Dr. Kolnes, he kept me well informed of what to expect next during the procedure. This is a smaller office that's well run by a handful of individuals who love their job and value their patients. By the way I'm taken care of at each visit, I can tell they don't take my business for granted. I actually look forward to each visit because I know the discomfort is kept at a minimum and I quite enjoy chatting with everyone at this dental office whenever I don't have something in my mouth. : ) Finding a good dentist is like finding a good mechanic for your car. It's so difficult to find someone you can trust but I'm happy to say I don't need to look any further. I have found a dental office I trust & love. : ) read more

I have been a patient at Montague Dental Excellence for more than 1 year now. I am beyond happy to have found Montague Dental Excellence! I was nervous for my first visit because it had been roughly 10 years since I last visited my previous dentist. Dr. Kolnes and the entire staff were incredibly welcoming and treated me well during the visit. Dr. Kolnes took his time examining the condition of my teeth and explaining to me what dental procedures were needed to get my teeth back to good health. Not once during the visit did I feel uneasy or pressured to do something that I was not comfortable doing. All of my visits back have gone just as well! During each dental procedure, Dr. Kolnes and his staff checked in with me every so often to make sure I was not experiencing any unnecessary pain. A few months back, I had some issues with a crown and they were able to get me in quickly and repair everything. They were incredibly helpful and accommodating! I cannot thank everyone at Montague Dental Excellence enough! I am truly pleased with the results! If you and your family are looking for a new dentist, I highly recommend Montague Dental Excellence. read more

I absolutely love my dental office! They always greet me with a smile and Dr. Kolnes always greets me with a handshake and takes that extra time to ask how I have been and what I have been up to.

Two red flags. As "Angela K." pointed out, I was also offered 5% off if I paid the same day. How many doctors do you know do this? Zero. It's because they have ulterior motives, which brings me to the second red flag. Go through your "proposed treatment plan" that lists all the charges they have and look for "Misc. fees" that the insurance doesn't cover. I decided to get a second opinion and, lo and behold, the cost didn't include this "Misc. fee" which was $100 more. Charlatans. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Khoury for 1.5 years. He did a marvelous job in my Invisalign treatment as well as crown replacement and adding a bridge. I had small gaps in between my teeth. He was able to move my teeth around and eliminate the gaps, then added the crown. He also is great with my 5 year old child. He had done cleaning for him for 2 years. His staff is super organized in scheduling and following up. All in all, he is a capable and professional In handling complex cases. We are very pleased with him and the office staff. Highly recommended! read more

I don't do a lot of reviews and I have no affiliation and I don't know Dr Khoury in any way except I saw the yelp reviews and the location which is very convenient for me.

I really really recommend my new favorite dentist Dr Khoury to anyone or everyone , who is looking for a great dentist. He is very careful and considerate and takes his time to explain what needs to be done. I have nothing but highest praise to Dr Khoury.

Found them on yelp and I am so happy I did. My last dentist seemed like all they wanted was my insurance money.

I cant wait until my treatment is done and I can enjoy my smile! Oh and did I mention the chairs are massage chairs! read more
