Stafford Smile Design

The good:
–extremely hygienic
–nice office (new, clean)
–nice office staff
The bad:
–haven’t seen any hygienists here who aren’t going for blood when they clean your teeth. I know dentists aren’t supposed to be fun, but I’ve had much better experiences elsewhere, where they aren’t gouging your gums and probably cheering inside when you bleed profusely.
If you’re willing to drive somewhere else for gentle, careful hygienists, you should do it. Unless you like the taste of your own blood.

After 13 years as a patient of Dr. Hughes, I am leaving. I first went to Dr. Hughes when he was a small, one-​dentist practice on Route 1. Eleven years ago he talked me into $ 4000 veneers to replace the ones I’d had for 20 years. He said the ones he’d provide were better and more advanced and permanent.
Last week I went in to see him because one of the veneers had fallen off. It was the 3^rd or 4^th time that one had failed. It was also about the 15^th time in 11 years that one of several of the teeth he replaced failed. It should be noted that the veneers he convinced me to replace had never failed in 20 years.
For the second time, his bookkeeper has billed me to replace the «improved» and «permanent» teeth. They say they will no longer stand behind the product they sold me (as «improved» over what I had). Many times his work failed and left me with a fang in the front of my mouth until it could be repaired. Now they are charging me to fix their substandard product/​work.
Therefore, if I must pay to repair the «permanent» teeth (they fall off when I am eating an orange, oatmeal, etc.) I will pay someone else and not line his pockets. I have worked 30 miles from Dr. Hughes for 7 years, yet continued to patronize the business while it was inconvenient. Now I will find a dentist closer to work.
His business boomed into the current office, and I believe the concern for patients, especially long time ones, as decreased.

Thank goodness I did not go with this dentist’s recommendation. When I went as a new patient, his office said that I had seven cavities between my teeth. I had been given a perfect teeth report the previous year. I discussed the matter with individuals who had lived in Stafford for more than three years; they said that this dentistry group used to be trustworthy but now was known for being very aggressive about fillings. I got a second opinion from another dentist who did x-​rays and an examination. My teeth again got a perfect report.

I have avoided going to the dentist for a long time because I hate it, but I finally decided it was time. Stafford Smile Design has the nicest front office staff and the friendliest Doctors and Dental Hygienists. They take their time with you and actually care about what’s going on with your teeth.
I appreciate good Dentists and they are the best!!!

Let me start of by saying that I HATE the dentist. Teeth freak me out, I’m afraid of the ridiculous costs, and the noise/​experience is just so weird. After going to Stafford Smile Design, I’m feeling much more confident and worry-​free going to my appointments. Their entire staff is wonderful. I cannot say that enough. From the minute you call until the minute you walk out the door, you’ll feel comfortable and welcome. Their facilities are first rate, customer service is excellent, and my cleaning was quick, well done, and painless. Dr. Sachdev and Anita were just so kind and answered all my questions clearly. Never was encouraged to purchase anything unnecessary. Now I know why multiple people recommended their office. There’s also the added bonus that they offer 5:30pm appointments so I didn’t have to take too much time off of work!

I went to stafford smile design not expecting much. I was ashamed of my smile and never showed my teeth. My consultation was thorough and the entire staff made sure my questions were answered and they set up different treatment plans to accommodate my needs. When I went in to have the work done I came out with better results than I ever could have asked for. The entire team at stafford smile design is incredible. They are nice, professional, and make sure you are comfortable with every step of the way. My whole family will be going to this office from now on!
