See Dr. Santavicca if you can. I'm sure everyone in this practice is solid, but my experience is with her. I was suprised to see some of the negative reviews here. But then I noticed none of them are about the quality of the dental work. Some reviewers didn't even set foot in the office! Unfortunately, most people only review medical offices when they've had a bad experience. I realized it wasn't a fair characterization. I saw Dr. Santavicca when I was attending college near Lebanon, NH. I needed many things, including a wire brace, artificial crown, Invisilign, and finally composite veneers. This took about two years to complete. Not only did she make the best composite veneers I could have ever hoped for, but to this day many dentists comment on the quality of her work. She shaped them personally, and had to shape them in such a way to hide the spaces between my teeth that remained even after the Invisalign. This is very technically difficult to do, but she did it perfectly. Her bedside manner is everything you could hope for. Every trip to the office was pleasant and full of smiles from everyone, which I really appreciated. If only I could say that about my primary care doctor's office... read more

Just the "VERY BEST!" Doctors and hygienist! The staff is amazing and friendly. They make you feel at home for sure. I wouldn't go anywhere else! Quality Care, it's about you first. My Dentist is on top of his game, as much as I hate going to the dentist he makes it worth the while. I can not thank Santavicca Dental Prifessionals, as that's just what they are at their job, Professional read more

I will start by saying that I really liked the two dentists that evaluated me. The 1 star review is for the annoyance of them not being able to keep a hygienist and high turn over of staff showing me that there is an internal problem. It is so difficult to book appointments, even if you are an established customer, unless you are booking a procedure with cash flow to the office. I waited a few months post my time for cleaning due to lack of staff only to be notified less than one week before my appointment with phone call stating appointment will need to be canceled due to no hygienist. They then stated when they hire someone they will call me to rebook. I've decided to leave the practice. Plus, the two secretaries both have attitudes making the whole overall experience poor. read more

I cannot believe that I'm writing my first yelp review about a DENTIST. But Amy is the most amazing dental hygienist I have ever had. Wow, what an amazingly skilled and knowledgeable woman. I had no idea. I am spoiled now for anyone else. Truly, this was the best exam and cleaning I've ever had in my life. No one else has ever done 2 of the levels of exam she did. Painless and so helpful to get a full sense of my dental health. Also, Dr. Santavicca helped my daughter months ago in such a human and personable way. I think it changed her idea of dentists that day. read more

I have been a patient of this practice for many, many years and have received outstanding quality of dental services both with hygiene and fillings and crowns. Dr. Santavicca has perform some wonderful services that have lasted for years. In the last couple years (since COVID) I've seen Dr. Udeshi and although I didn't need any major work done, his work has also been first rate and he, too, is very pleasant to interact with. If had Amy as my hygienist and she has been excellent with her attention to detail and very thorough in every aspect. Yes, scheduling can be an issue but "that's the world we live in"...staffing is tough and many dentist are retiring. I'm fine with the front desk service--straight forward answers and always someone immediately available. I would recommend, and have recommended many times, this practice. read more

Dr. Udeshi is a compassionate and caring addition to the Santavicca Team. He was very professional preparing a wisdom tooth for a crown. The front desk staff is always so friendly. Thank you all. read more

The front office staff was argumentative and unprofessional. For example, when I asked how much my appointment would cost out of pocket, they couldn't be bothered to find this information. Instead I got a sarcastic response. Overall, they made it clear that they don't want to be asked any questions, nor do they want my business. read more

Horrible. Office was dirty and old (like falling apart). Dentist (yes dentist) who did my cleaning did not introduce herself. She sprayed water on me twice during the cleaning. Against my better judgement, I decided to overlook all of this. I leave, being told that everything is covered by my insurance, only to get a bill a month later for the X-rays ($250). I will definitely not be going back or recommending this dentist office to anyone. read more

I have found Dr. Santavicca and her staff to be extremely professional. I have been very pleased with their services!

Scammy dentist practice. Had teeth cleaning and a filing here. They asked to take photos of my teeth at no extra charge but after they finished, the front office lady billed me $100 for the photos and said not covered by insurance. Very dishonest and unethical. read more

I went to Santavicca dental in May 2022 for a comprehensive exam to establish myself as a patient. The treatment plan they came up with would have been over 3K out of pocket (after insurance). The dentist kindly informed me of the risks of not doing certain procedures. I was wiIling to work with the dentist and begin to establish trust, but I wanted to start with a good old-fashioned cleaning. The dentist refused to treat me if I didn't follow his treatment plan and start with a periodontal cleaning, which of course impacted the insurance pay-out. I have never worked with any medical professional that refused to treat me if I did not follow their recommendations. Even the American Dental Association recognizes that a "dentist has a duty to respect the patient's rights to self-determination....that professionals have a duty to treat the patient according to the patient's desires, within the bounds of accepted treatment....the dentist's primary obligations include involving patients in treatment decisions in a meaningful way, with due consideration being given to the patient's needs, desires and abilities...." Needless to say, I am not returning to Santavicca Dental since I won't work with any medical professional that doesn't respect my right to, after being informed, make my own decisions. read more

The first time I came to this practice was in 2018. I came in for a routine visit and cleaning. The dentist ordered comprehensive and additional x-rays that were outside of routine. The dentist failed to tell me this would not be covered under my dental plan. I was stuck with a bill that I then disputed and a credit was given to me. Recently, I went in for a routine cleaning. The hygienist decided to apply topical fluoride, but told me even though the topical fluoride would be outside of my dental coverage, that it could be submitted under Care Credit and covered and that I would not be responsible. A month later I get a bill for $170. After disputing the charge I was told there is nothing that can be done and that I'm stuck with the bill. This is the last time I will use this dental practice, I'll be finding another dentist. Be aware, if you come to this practice, it is likely you will have things done and additional tests or xrays/services performed that won't be covered by your insurance just to get an extra buck out of you. Don't come here, you won't want to waste your time disputing bills for things that you were told would be covered. Find another dental practice that has integrity and stands by their word. This place is shady, unethical, and will scam you. read more

Professional and caring. This is a fantastic team who truly provides dental care at its best. Thank you to Dr. Gupta, her team, her skill and her wit... gotta love a dentist with true wit. I actually look forward to seeing them in 6 months. read more
