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'm not sure why I was even scheduled on that day in the first place, but now the appointment is pushed till July, almost a month away. Still scheduled to go in, so this review might change depending on the practice. But at this point, I'm going to look somewhere else that will uphold my appointment. Very helpful receptionist though. Edit: this place is very good. From the moment you step in until you leave, you feel taken care of. They will let you know upfront how much it will cost you with your insurance. The wait time is minimum. The chair has a heater and the massager! The hygienists are super nice and explain every steps. The doctor came and explained every and definitely try to find ways you can save money. And as you leave, they explain how much your future appointments will cost which was very helpful. 10/10 would recommend to others

My whole family has been regular patients in this place. Recently, we received a very rude reminder about dental cleaning and a threatening message that if we don't schedule our last cleaning for the fiscal year, our account will be deactivated! What is that supposed to mean? I don't understand what kind of business this place is running if they think these kind of messages are going to bring more clients?! Quite the opposite! It is unheard of hygiene appointments to be required so patients can keep their account active! Usually, dental facilities and private offices send friendly reminders for the patients to take advantage of a covered by insurance dental cleaning since there are only 2 per year. The manager needs to really apologize to all patients who received this kind of unpleasant email or text message as this is really unprofessional and totally unacceptable! After all, there are at least 30 other dental offices in the areas near by Newton Corner, Watertown, Brighton and Waltham. This kind of treatment of the patients would completely drive them away! Unbelievable!!!

I need a crown or implant and came here with someone's recommendation. First -- the secretary…read morejumped in to take my photo. I hate my photos taken (this was not a medical photo). I told her -- I'm here for consult, I really don't like my photos taken. She totally ignored me and took a photo with her iPad anyhow and said I was beautiful -- it's not about me being or not being beautiful, I just don't want my photo taken and I wish you'd hear me and not ignore me. Next I went to see the dentist. He was not a great listener and he missed some crucial points (I realized this later) which could have been very important in the decision on whether or not I need an implant. He kept looking at the X-ray and then my teeth and explaining what I need. I listened and nodded. Then he asked me if this was a new crown that needed redoing. I said no, I've had it for x number of years. Five minutes later he again said this was a new crown. I told him no, I've had it for years. Long story short -- we realized at the very end of my appointment that he was looking at a wrong X-ray. It was a different patient's X-ray. How this was possible and how he didn't realize it wasn't mine Ia beyond me. But what really killed it was him ending the appointment with saying something like it looks like I have a Russian smile now (he meant it as bad teeth). I think that was his attempt of a joke but I found it very rude. Obviously, I never went back.

I am grateful that he is passing his high level of skill along to dental students in his capacity as Professor at Harvard School of Dental Medicine. Dr Wetreich's expertise and artistry are unmatched. He listens and takes great care to deliver upon a patient's expectations. The entire staff of his office, and the other practitioners to whom I was referred by him, are highly professional, talented, and kind people. I had quite a bit of work done, both to fix failing work done by other dentists and underlying problems that developed because of that. I am so pleased with the results of the project that, not only do I feel confident enough to smile again but I just bought red lipstick for the first time in 20 years!

Unfortunately, my experience with Dr. Wetreich was very disappointing. I returned to his care…read moreexpecting quality treatment but instead received treatment that led to ongoing dental problems and related issues which remain very difficult to resolve. I regret following his advice to remove a crowned, root-canal-treated wisdom tooth that two prior dentists had advised me to keep, as well as agreeing to a bite adjustment in January 2025. Afterward, I developed tooth sensitivity, lingering toothaches, and what I perceived as changes in my lower face and lips -- including sagging, a sunken appearance, and an aged look. From my perspective, these issues only began after the bite adjustment, and the treatment options I've been offered have been complex, costly, and not reassuring. I deeply regret these decisions and strongly urge others to seek multiple opinions before agreeing to any similar treatments. This review is based solely on my personal experience and perspective as a patient.

I have been going to Newton Dental Associates for about eight years. I see Dr. Osofvsky and she's…read moregreat; very kind, always willing to listen to and address concerns. In the last few years Annette has been my hygienist. She is very nice and super gentle. I have receding gums and some sensitivity as a result but Annette is so meticulous, I never feel the cleaning in any of those sensitive spots. The office is relatively newly renovated, so it's comfortable and bright waiting room to sit in before your appointment begins. They're always pretty close to on time. Even in the middle of the day I don't think I've had to wait more than ten or so minutes for my appointment to begin. I always leave with my teeth clean and bright. They're the first to offer me a fluoride treatment for my sensitive teeth/gums despite complaints of the issue for years prior and that's been amazing! They did my full Invisalign program and they were great. My teeth had this issue where when I closed my mouth the top and bottom molars didn't touch. They even offered a treatment that expedited how quickly the teeth move (science!). I see a lot of complaints about billing and pricing. So they do charge you for services. Their services are covered by my dental insurance and I haven't found the out of pocket costs outlandish. Where certain amounts are not covered I receive a bill in the mail after insurance adjustments. Seems pretty standard. While I'm sure they would be able to help a prospective patient determine if their dental insurance was accepted, that is an essential step that you have to take as a patient with any healthcare provider. They are very thorough and I'm sure they charge accordingly. I have been to some shady dentists and the cost reflected that. I agree it's not ideal to have to pay so much for needed healthcare services, but this is less a Newton Dental Associates problem and more a state of American healthcare problem.

Dr. Maria Moser at this office attempted to do a tooth implant on me. I say 'attempted' because it…read morewas botched- the abutment part was too big. She even said this right out loud, in surprise, as the procedure was getting underway. She went ahead however and tried to put the thing in anyway. As she tightened it into place I almost screamed and fainted; this was far and away the most painful experience I've ever had, in a dentist's office or outside of one. The pain didn't let up and five days later I had her take the abutment and crown back out. She put me on a course of antibiotics to try to stop any infection from the obvious swelling that had begun (see the picture). I rejected her offer to try the whole procedure again, this time with a "tissue punch", and had the botched part redone by a dentist who'd been voted the 'Best Dentist in Boston'. Dr. Moser never apologized or expressed any remorse and of course never refunded the thousands she charged me and my insurance. I'm currently pursuing legal action against her and filing complaints with the local and state licensing boards.
