I was recommended Cambridge Smiles for their excellent bedside (chairside?) manner and quality of service. And after 3 visits now (2 of which were deep cleanings), I have to say they totally deliver. There's a cute doggy hanging out, there's good calming music. Good little bonus. I didn't get a lot of time with Dr. Sones, but she was able to answer my questions with detailed answers and charts. The majority of my time was spent with the hygienist, Trang. I can't stress enough how much I appreciated the level of professionalism. She checked in with me every step of the way, letting me know exactly what to expect and what each tool was for. She made sure the entire process rather pain-free and judgement-free. The work was careful and detailed. And, wow, what a world of difference all that makes. The results are (dare I say?) life changing. Already I feel a renewed sense of confidence, I feel like I can smile again without embarrassment. So... can't recommend it highly enough!

Thank you Cambridge Smiles, Dr. Tenorio, and the awesome reception staff and hygienist I worked…read morewith! I had a pain-free wisdom tooth extraction here! The attentiveness, the follow-through, the genuine care! I cannot say enough good things about these folks. I was blown away by how quickly I was seen here. I walked into this office with wisdom tooth area pain. While my partner is a patient with Cambridge Smiles, I had never been seen at this office prior to my dental emergency. I didn't know what to expect, but despite their full schedule they checked me out immediately (within the hour), and squeezed me in for an appointment that day. Dr. Tenorio made sure I got the medicine I needed to quiet the infection and deal with the immediate pain. Dr. Tenorio is the best dentist I have ever had, listening intently and carefully to my experience, and taking the time to really understand what I needed - not only to get me to a happy health outcome, but also to understand how I could be most comfortable in getting there. He explained to me that the infection makes for a "hot tooth" which not only means more pain due to the hyperactive nerves, but also makes my tooth environment acidic rendering the anesthetic (a weak base) largely inactive. So the plan was to take antibiotics for a few days, get the infection is below some threshold, and hopefully ensure my extraction was relatively painless. (It was entirely painless! Thanks Dr. Tenorio!) Dr. Tenorio's knowledge of dentistry is incredible and he took the time to explain everything that was going on, which was what I needed to be at ease. As a patient, I was given access to their office's 24 hour emergency dental line that would ring to the dentist even during off hours if I needed it. Dr. Tenorio also called to check in on my pain levels and progress as I was taking the antibiotic. Never in my life have I had a dentist this committed and attentive. My typical experience of medical care overall is that nobody cares about your health outcomes more than you, but my experience here in this situation is that maybe Dr. Tenorio does. He completely alleviated my near-term dental pain by changing up the schedule on which I was taking acetaminophin / ibuprofen and it was way more effective the way he suggested. When I had expressed a desire to get all the wisdom teeth I'd need out simultaneously (I had been hearing such scary stories of really tough painful extractions from friends and family and I really didn't want to do it twice) he referred me to a great oral surgeon he works closely with. I was scared of extraction though, so I didn't follow up with the oral surgeon. Dr. Tenorio and the office must have followed up with that other office, realized that I hadn't been scheduled, and called me to check in and see if I needed help with next steps. When the other dental surgeon didn't have any availability within the month to get both of my teeth removed simultaneously, Dr. Tenorio talked with me on the phone to help make a plan to get my immediate situation resolved. I ended up scheduling an extraction of just the affected tooth that week with Dr. Tenorio in the Cambridge Smiles office. By calling to check in again, he was also able to know that I had upcoming air travel which I didn't realize could be a risk for me immediately after extraction and he moved the schedule around to make sure I'd be good to go. Dr. Tenorio extracted my wisdom tooth, in the Cambridge Smiles office, under local anesthetic. He explained the technique he was going to use to lift the tooth using only hand implements (no drills!) and said that if there were any sign of complication risk he would stop rather than risk shattering the roots and making a mess of shards that would require complicated emergency dental work. I experienced no pain whatsoever during the extraction, and that's entirely because he was so sensitive to my experience. I was really nervous to have my wisdom tooth removed, I remember seeing people with swollen, bruised faces having later infections in the area of the tooth removal... but my experience was completely different. No pain, no visible swelling, no bruising, no complications whatsoever. My tooth came out intact in one piece within a few minutes, and all I felt was pressure - no pain at all! Dr. Tenorio explained how infection can cause gums to be inflamed and kind of loosen their hold on teeth for a time, which helped to make my extraction immediately post-infection particularly easy. I had my extraction on a Friday and Dr. Tenorio even called to check in on me over the weekend to see how I was feeling afterwords. At that point I was already feeling so much better! He had me scheduled for a follow up the next week just to make sure I was healing well and everything looked great and it really was. Thank you to Dr. Tenorio and the Cambridge Smiles team!

Well, today ended with the installation of the last of 6 dental implants and additional separate…read morenon-implant crown installs I undertook at Dr. Gatti's dental office, Lexington Smile Studio about a year ago. Owing to the extensive nature of 60+ years of hard use, my teeth were worn out and in desperate need of repair and/or replacement, so it took quite a while, mostly due to the number of procedures needed but more importantly, the recovery time between the procedures, but in the end, it was absolutely worth it. It was remarkable to see the entire process from start to finish at Lexington Smile Studio and I couldn't help but marvel at what is possible with the modern dental technology they use at their office. As I mentioned in my prior reviews, Dr. Gatti, and the the rest of the staff helped me by providing consistently high quality dental care during the entire process. The one thing I learned about Dr. Gatti is that he's an absolute perfectionist, almost to a fault. Towards the end of my treatments when the crowns were being installed into the titanium implants he initially placed, he was rarely satisfied with the final fit with the adjacent teeth unless the fit was absolutely, positively perfect in every way. Most of the crowns went back for additional customization before they were deemed good enough for the final installation. In my desperation to eat really solid foods again I asked him why they implants had to keep going back to the artist/dental technician for further refinement when they seemed OK to me, so I asked him why it was necessary to keep sending them back and he smiled and said "Michael, I owe you nothing but our very best work" or words to that effect, and of course that made sense and those words were very reassuring. I have been to many dentists over the years who put crowns in for me and not one of them ever took the time to make sure there was a perfect fit with the adjacent teeth, thus causing food impaction over the years, which lead to further decay. It was quite remarkable to see the process, and of course, the final product is gorgeous and I couldn't be more pleased. A little bit about the staff at the office...Brianna his senior dental technician is a marvelous and compassionate caregiver and while she might not realize it, helped me get through some of the tough procedures including extractions and implant placements. While she is technically very competent, it was her great personality that helped me get through a couple of tough procedures. I had Rosie for one or two of the procedures, and she was likewise a marvelous technician. I am also very grateful for Marianne, the office manager who helped make the whole process possible with her flexible financial guidance. Being a registered nurse, I'm not a wealthy man, but she was cognizant of that, and made the whole thing possible by working with my dental insurance and being flexible with me by setting up a payment plan that made it possible to receive the great care I experienced. She was just great, especially when it came to understanding the billing, which can be a bit overwhelming. Of course, the ladies at the front desk, Erika and Elizabeth, were unfailingly kind and courteous whenever I had to manage scheduling multiple appointments, etc. Finally, the technician who actually made my crowns I came to learn is a master at his craft. A Japanese gentleman named Yuki Momma who I never met, but has an online presence and known all over the world for his work and the seminars he gives to young technicians. I viewed some of his online instructional video's that demonstrated how he crafts crowns that fit perfectly and are beautifully reproduced to mimic real teeth. Wow, the crowns he made for me look as realistic as the natural ones I used to have when I was a younger man, and so I feel privileged to carry his exceptional work everywhere I go. Finally, with as many appointments as I had, I feel as though I've gotten to know everyone in the office fairly well, and that's been a special treat. The team there provided a personalized experience, always making me feel right at home and #1 while in their office. I'm pretty sure most folks don't enjoy going to the dentist to get work done, but if you MUST have work done, this fine office is just the place to go. In closing, as my major restoration work came to an end yesterday, I can, without reservation, recommend the practice to anyone who asks. My personal experience over the years has shown that I don't think you can do better than by going to Dr. Gatti at Lexington Smile Studio for any sort of dental procedures, large or small. I don't think you will be disappointed...I sure wasn't and I don't think you will be either. Michael Dumais, BSN, M.Ed., RN
