He cleans the teeth but unlike other dentists that I hate, he doesn't hurt at all. All I can say is, as much as I don't like going to dentists, I don't mind going to Dr. Bastajian, because he is good and he doesn't hurt me. And he is great with my kids, which is a huge plus.

After receiving one of those promotional cleanings/xrays from Gentle Dental, I was told that I…read moreneeded a few cavities filled, as well as an expensive gum grafting procedure. I didn't have insurance at the time, so this would have been very expensive. I decided to get a second opinion from Dr. Salusti, who was my dentist from back in high school. He informed me that I needed the cavities filled, but the gum grafting was not necessary. He told me to switch to a powered toothbrush to keep my gums from receding, and that he would monitor the gums to see if it got any worse. 8 months later and the procedure was not necessary, saving me a few thousand dollars. He even gave me advice regarding dental insurance. Salusti and his entire staff are very friendly, and seem to genuinely care about their patients. This office is a rare find, and I highly recommend them.

Hands down the best dentist that I have ever been to. Extremely personable, clean, and…read moreprofessional- everything you want from a doctor's office. I felt extremely welcomed and well informed. The doctor spent a lot of time getting to know me personally, my history, and goals for fixing my teeth. I've felt pressured in the past to get work done, but I felt like this place only recommends things that you actually need. I'm very sad that after moving away from Watertown, I now have to look for a new dentist! I recently called to have my x-rays mailed to me, and the receptionist (Susan) was so helpful! We ended up chatting for quite a few minutes as she wished me luck in my new area and made sure the xrays were clear enough to read before sending them out to me. I could go on and on.. you get the point. This is a very trustworthy dentist!

I had my first visit here and it was a very uncomfortable experience…read more The X-rays took a long time with multiple retakes, which made it painful to keep biting down repeatedly. During the cleaning, the hygienist was quite rough and I was poked several times, which hurt. The appointment also ran much longer than expected, so my parking expired and I had to leave to move my car, and overall the visit took so long that I missed lunch and was extremely hungry by the end. After I returned, additional imaging was done by another assistant, which again took a long time and was uncomfortable because she took so many tries. While the dentist apologized and explained new patients usually take longer, it overall wasn't very reassuring. The whole experience felt so poorly managed. I left feeling sore, hungry, and stressed, and came home in tears. Because of this experience, I just can't return.

I was scheduled for an appointment on June 11th, and we found out yesterday that the hygienist is…read moreout of town that day. 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

I've had really bad…read moredentists throughout my life that have caused me to be fairly terrified of the pain of needles/drills when getting work done. As someone with over 20 fillings completed by 5 different dentists, I can firmly say Dr. Gluskin is absolutely the most knowledgeable, patient and understanding. I basically was running away from the needle and he brought me down for the work to be completed. As I prepared for pain and literally grabbed the chair harder than Thor could have, he began what was the most PAINLESS experience at the Dentist in my life. The filling was among the largest 3 I've had filled of the 20 or so, and it was the most "pleasant". I was comfortably laying throughout the experience. To boot, the filling feels natural - not sure if other people have experienced that super smooth weird filling-feeling, but this filling feels "natural" and "jaded" as opposed to be slippery/smooth surface. Dr. Gluskin gets my business for life.

Even when sharing my Xray results, he only talked to the assistant and never directly told me the assessment and plan. He overdiagnosed me and insisted that I get procedures for all cavities, which turned out to be a scam as I got a second opinion from another dentist. He totally skipped the cleaning part of the checkup but billed my insurance for it. When asked to share the Xray with the other dentist office, Dentistar requested a 50 dollar release of information fee.
