Amherst Dental Group

As usual, I had a good visit with Amherst Dental. I’m glad I arrived a few minutes early, since my hygienist, Kelly Pope, was ready for me ahead of time. My cleaning, and a checkup by Dr. Shari Weldon, both went quickly and efficiently, as did scheduling appointments for an impression and installation of a new crown for a dental implant. I’ve been a patient there for over a decade, and I’ve been happy the whole time, both for routine care and for a couple of chipped and broken teeth (darn olive pits).

Joanne is wonderful, always helpful and kind answering my questions. She does her job very patiently and nicely, not pain at all. I recommend her if you want to find the best cleaning dentist in the area.

I have been a patient at Amherst Dental before it even existed. I began to see Jeffrey Eisman in 1972 when I was 21 and he was a sole practitioner. Since Jeffrey’s passing a few years ago I now see Dr. Fred Perry who is terrific. All the staff there are exceptional, and my hygienist Debbie is superb. I love Amherst Dental.

Karen is as always upbeat, interesting and thorough. She was cleaning and probing around and thought there might be a cavity. quick xray and she was right. Dr. Bagdasorov, always cheerful and friendly, popped in and agreed and sent me on to an oral surgeon. I feel like I always get great care at Amherst Dental Group.

Went here based on the Unilocal reviews.
They were spot on. Had a cleaning and a checkup at first and was very impressed with how cordial and genuinely happy all the staff were. Turns out i needed filling and scheduled for the following week.
Went back for fillings a week later with Dr Bagdasarov. I don’t know exactly, but he has the perfect mix of compassion and no nonsense professionalism. I really got the feeling that he was just really really good at what he does. Concentrates at what he does but doesnt seem to over concentrate, which makes me nervous. Everything he did seemed very calculated and deliberate, which was reassuring and calming. I really liked him. It was a very relaxing environment considering, no one wants to get fillings.
When i got there the receptionist actually recognized me from the week before and greeted me by name.
Very good. The 5 stars they routinely get are well earned.

Exceptional! The staff is both friendly and proficient — a very desirable combination. Dr. Bagdasarov is, without equivocation, the best dentist I have encountered in my comparatively long life. He is a perfectionist and it shows in his work. My wfe lucked out and saw him for a badly chipped incisor. When she returned, I could not tell the difference between his repair and her tooth. Literally, I could not find any demarcation or blending. Consequently, I requested him as my dentist and have been delighted ever since.

the hygienists and dentists are all so smart and kind. They take whatever time you need to answer questions and never make me feel badly for my horrible teeth…

Dr. van der Velden and crew are funny, down-​to-​Earth and generally awesome — I can’t imagine a better dental experience.

Always timely, super nice staff all around, and I never have to buy a new toothbrush or dental floss after I leave. They are really great and they have the biggest collection of reading material ever!

The best dentist I’ve had. Great reception staff follows up in a timely manner and both hygienists and the dentists are friendly and thorough. A great option in the area.

Dr Arsen Bagdasarvo is by far the best dentist I have ever been to. He is a gentle perfectionist, everything is done calmly and with care. He explains thoroughly every step, offering options including the costs involved.
The staff is very helpful in terms of scheduling appointments, fitting me in with my tight schedule. This dental practice is the best by far in Amherst!

I’ve been going here, seeing Shari Weldon, for a few years now. I have cleanings every six months but only see her once a year. I chose Amherst Dental because of its convenient location (right by a bus stop on Main Street), and that’s the main reason I’ve stayed.
I’ve had a couple fillings done and they’re not the best I’ve had, though the total number is hard to have good statistics on. Often the feel is rough and the bite uneven, and I’ve had to go back to have Dr. Weldon regrind or polish them. I don’t think it’s entirely that I’m too picky, as I’ve had my share of fillings done elsewhere in the past, and never remember having a problem like this before.
Appointments must be made far in advance for anything other than the preventive checkups. If a cavity is found at a checkup, you might have to wait a month or two before getting it filled.
For checkups and general experience, they’re not bad but certainly not above average in any way. For my personal experience with Weldon’s fillings, I’d say below average. I’ve continued with them due to inertia and hassle of transferring xrays and records to another place, and the fact that I haven’t had any good recommendations of any other nearby dentists.

My 2 daughters have been going to this practice for a few years now, and we have had nothing but great experiences. Everyone is very sweet and helpful. The hygienists have a really good manner with kids and the office seems efficient and well run, no mess-​ups.

My dentist for the past three years is Doctor Arsin Bagdasarov (not too sure of the spelling) but he is the best dentist. He is caring, gentle and very dedicated to his profession. I would highly recommend his excellent work for all your dental needs.
