Greater Boston Smiles Pediatric Dentistry

Needed a Pediatric dentist in the area. This office takes all sorts of insurance providers. When I called, Dr. Shaughnessy answered the phone himself, as he sent the secretary to lunch. He booked our appointment for that day! He told me he also works at children’s hospital and takes pride in caring for the inner city children that may not have access to dental care. In person he is welcoming and made my daughter laugh. The office staff were fun and inviting. I am SO happy with this office. I am in health care myself and I recommend him without hesitation

Today we saw Dr. Shaughnessy for the first time and I was super impressed! My 8 yr old son had his first, and hopefully last, cavity and was in some serious pain. We were in the process of switching dentists and Dr. Shaughnessy saw us right away. On a Saturday afternoon, understaffed with a moderately filled waiting room, it only took about an hour and a half for him to x-​ray, clean and seal my sons teeth. He was rockin’ and rollin’ Disney music playing in the background… It was so quick and efficient my son didn’t even notice when his bad tooth was «wiggled» out. Very pleased.

Love our dentist! Wish he did adults, too! Great staff. Very clean office! My kiddos love coming here!

I visited my sister and niece in boston. My niece had her first dental appointment with dr shaughnessy and she loved it! I highly recommend this office! they were so helpful and jennifer (one of the dental assistants) was so sweet and understanding with my niece. The office has a great vibe, very clean, bright and friendly! Wish i could bring my kids here!

I love this dentist office! Everything from the front desk attention to the hygenists and the Dr. Shaughnessy help kids feel comfortable at the dentist! I also loved the Boston theme decorations, kids really enjoyed that!

I brought my 3 year old to Dr. Shaughnessy for his first dentist visit. Although I was expectng the worst, the doctor was really kind to him and it ended up being a great visit. I’ve used 2 other pediatric dentists (for my older child) over the last 2 years and this office is by far the best. While another dentist’s office would only give weekday, morning appointments for my daughter, Dr. Shaughnessy does Saturday appointments! While at another dentist’s office, I would only interface with the dental hygenist and never spoke with the dentist, Dr. Shaughnessy met with us himself, and brushed my son’s teeth himself. While at another dentist’s office, the support staff were unfriendly, Dr. Shaughnessy’s receptionist shook my hand and introduced herself the moment I walked into the office. The décor of the office is bright, cheerful and clean with toys in the waiting room for the kids. Also, it’s conveniently located near Rt. 3 and Rt. 93 and has plenty of parking. I totally recommend this place!

The environment was nice, clean, bright and decorated nicely. Staff was friendly. Would recommend for children over ⁵⁄₆ as far as demeanor and their drive to do well. Would not bring small children or children afraid of the dentist here.
