Dentists

My son is 6 years old and had a number of things to do in his mouth, as we were told by a previous dentist. Instead of having my son go into a hospital and have the procedures done under anesthesia, we opted to try Gentle Dental as my girls are very happy with their orthodontist there. We met with a dentist, and he confirmed that there was a lot to do, but they were willing to try to do the procedures in the office. Dr Fessler was the one who was going to do the procedures, and we were assured he was a nice man. On the date of our first appointment with Dr Fessler, everyone seemed very nervous at the age of my son, and proceeded with a nervous smile. I just knew that my would be ok with all of this, or so I hoped. Everything was better than I could have hoped. Dr. Fessler was kind and patient and Most importantly my son never saw the novicane shot coming - which was the one part I was a little nervous about. He saw the shot on the table while waiting for the novicane to take effect, and said he didn't want that, I was able to say that part was all done, and he didn't even know it! :). We have since been back, and have a few more visits ahead of us, but my son doesn't mind at all. He thinks Dr. Fessler is really nice, and a toy at the end always helps! I also love how the visits are pretty fast. It's not a long drawn out visit. So thank you Gentle Dental and Dr. Fessler for making this easier for us, more affordable, no anesthesia, and no fear of the dentist!!

Appointment was great and we were glad they could take care of his filling the same day as his cleaning!!

I am what you'd call a lifer when it comes to dental work. In the past, I've had to see oral surgeons, periodontists (for 4 implants!), endodontists, etc. What I appreciate about Essex St. Dental is how Dr. C. can do it all, and very well. His is a one-stop shop. Plus, the staff is excellent, very professional and kind. Hygienist Lori has given me the best cleanings of my life. If I'd gone to her years ago I might not have needed all the work I had done. Essex St. Dental performs miracles.

Excellent dentist and very skilled staff. I've been going to them for years and really enjoy the experience. Even with the 'drilling', it can be fun.

I told them I had to be out of the office and on my way by a certain time and they did all they could to do so with such a polite attitude and gentleness. I was out of the door on time feeling clean as could be without pain and without concern. The hygienist was the best one I've ever had, no bleeding, and did all she could to make me feel comfortable throughout the time I was there. The dentist was young; however, extremely knowledgeable and professional. As a new patient I was greeted with a hand shake by each employee I came across, I thought that was very genuine! I look forward to my next visit.

All the people at the office are nice. They run on time. The place is very clean and organized. They take time to explain answers to any questions we have. It's a great dental office.
