"Just got my cleaning done, and everything from the customer service to the dental work was perfect as always. The staff are always friendly and helpful every time I have come, and unlike other dentists, they never cause me any pain while I'm getting my teeth worked on. My hygienist was absolutely lovely and very friendly. Would definitely recommend coming here if you need a new dentist!"
"My family has been coming here for years for cleanings and we all agree it’s always great. the staff are kind, the place is clean, and they do a great job."
"When I visited this office, I was greeted by the front desk, as is customary in most offices. The difference here is that they seemed happy to be at work. The dental assistant (I didn't get her name) was very sweet and polite. The dentist I saw, Dr. Schulman, was a super nice guy with great chairside manner. He was very professional and friendly. While I was in his chair, he did not seem rushed to finish the work, and I did not feel like just another number. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get any work done. Everyone from the front desk to the dental hygienist, Tina, to Dr. Schulman are all great people. 10/10."
"Absolutely the best!"
"My teeth cleaning was the best that’s been done in years. Genesis, at the front desk, is extremely helpful and knows how to get things done, my favorite!"
"I was fortunate to have Genesis help me with a few issues and finding my Dental Card, which I couldn’t find! She found it in their files and texted me a copy… not sure what I would have done otherwise!! Her personality and kindness are much appreciated and seldom seen!! Hopefully her office managers know or soon will!!! Thankyou, Genesis!!!"
"Very trauma friendly hygienist, dentist. Very willing and able to work with myself and my partner on a scary return to dental care."
"These two guys are Amazing 🤩 I would highly recommend this office and those two gentlemen Ellis and Zack to anyone they are fun loving and caring! and do amazing work!!"
"Very reliable dentist! - Dr. Mestel has helped me and my husband with several dental emergencies, as well as non-emergencies. He is prompt, efficient, and very experienced. We see only him for our dental work. Thank you Dr. Mestel!"
"I LOVE THIS PLACE! I can’t say enough how great everyone is at this dentist office! Don’t hesitate. Book your appointment now, you won’t regret it!!! I have very bad anxiety about going to the dentist but they were so comforting, careful and not judgmental at all. Ellis had a very calm personality and was even dancing around the office creating a happy fun environment! Emely was so caring and comforting, as well. She came up with great ideas to keep me calm, distract me from everything happening and helped me with my belongings (headphones and phone) when I couldn’t move. Most importantly, Dr. Meunier was exceptional. He is what every dentist should strive to be. He took the time to talk me through everything happening and answered all my questions truthfully but in a way that didn’t make me feel stupid. He distracted me with witty chit chat, jokes and at one point even drew a sketch of my teeth for me. He was so understanding knowledgeable and relatable! I also loved that everyone in the office was around my age (late 20s-early 30s). It made me feel like they weren’t just telling me what I wanted to hear because they really did understand how I was feeling. It was like I was hanging out with friends. I honestly think they changed my views of the dentist and I can’t thank them enough for it!"
"Just need to add to my original review that I had to deal with Amanda, Tina and Johnzae today and I can't say enough good things about them! This office really is amazing to deal with"
"Dr. Meunier and DA Emely are not only highly qualified professionals. They were also very attentive to my specific needs and they both have a perfect sense of humor! I never had to wait long in the waiting room, and there are plenty of receptionists who are always available. Outstanding service!"
"This place is great! I have the dentist who looks like shaggy from scooby doo but obv way better ! Haha ! They are always making me laugh, I feel comfortable, the assistants are great and knowledgeable ! They are flexible & fast. No complaints ! Love the whole office"
"First time being here and I was completely satisfied. Doctors and hygienists were knowledgable and welcoming. Receptionists were very nice. Erica was super patient, gave info on the office, explained the process, and did a great job cleaning my teeth. Ellis did an amazing job on confidently removing my teeth gems that were needed to come off. Although, I was nervous they made sure I was happy with what I was walking out with. I will be returning and bringing my little one in as well. Thanks, guys!!"
"I am here at the dental office in Cromwell working with Julie and all the girls. I have to say I work with individuals within intellectual disability I have never been at a doctors office where people are so compassionate and caring for individuals and I’ve also witnessed Julie going out of her way to help another person. These people are absolutely amazing."
"This group is highly recommended. They are highly professional and friendly beyond just being your dentist. From the front staff to who I must gives shout out, Ellis and Dr Meuiner worked in tandem which I never experienced. In the chair and having these two provide my dental needs to a highly favorable review. I'm a returning patient who is giving a true honest review of Preferred Dental."
"GO HERE FOR TEETH BLEACHING. I have been going to Preferred Dental of Cromwell for around 5-7 years now, and I just had one of the best experiences ever there just recently. I came in to replace a chipped tooth and eventually it turned into getting a teeth bleaching appointment with Ellis who was fantastic, explained everything very thoroughly and I had a pain-free appointment with amazing results. Shoutout to Dr. Meuiner and the whole staff, a very patient, cool team."
"Needed a cleaning done badly. My friend who recommended me here is a hygienist. Kaylee was really professional. I have really bad gums and she was very gentle! The areas that were inflamed; she would let me know I was gonna feel it. Other hygienist that I used to go to would attack my teeth so viciously. If you need a cleaning done, ask for Kaylee! I put 4 stars because I had an appointment that I made sure I was available. At some point, the week of I was informed I wasn’t on the schedule. I hit them up, and they said the system removed me. So I had to wait another month which was inconveniencing. Other than that it’s clean and everyone was professional."
"Dr. Mestel is the absolute best dentist you'll ever find! Thanks to him, I no longer have anxiety with dental procedures! His assistants are also very kind and care about their patients! Highly recommended for adults & children! 🙂"
"An Exceptional Dental Cleaning Experience with Tina I recently had the pleasure of receiving a dental cleaning by Tina, and I can't express enough how outstanding the entire experience was. From start to finish, it was a five-star treatment that left me with a smile on my face – both figuratively and literally! Right from the moment I walked into the dental office, I was greeted with a warm and friendly welcome by the staff, setting a positive tone for my visit. Tina herself was incredibly personable and ensured she put me at ease immediately. As someone who tends to feel nervous during dental appointments, I greatly appreciated her approach. What truly stood out during my cleaning was Tina's expertise and attention to detail. She took the time to explain each step of the process, which not only made me feel involved but also educated me about my oral health. Her gentle and precise approach to the cleaning made the entire experience comfortable and pain-free. It was evident that she takes immense pride in her work, and her passion for dentistry shines through. Beyond the cleaning itself, Tina took the time to address my questions and provide valuable advice for maintaining my oral health between appointments. This level of care and personalized attention truly sets her apart. I wholeheartedly recommend Tina to anyone seeking a top-notch dental cleaning experience. Thank you, Tina, for your exceptional care and dedication to your craft. I'm looking forward to my next appointment! Sincerely, Anis"

(cheering right now)!"

The staff was personable and professional from start to finish. The facility was clean and COVID mitigation procedures were followed closely. My dental hygienist, Lisa, cleaned my teeth with precision and care. This was the first time I left a dentist appointment without an aching mouth or bleeding gums from someone who was too rough or rushed with the cleaning. Additionally, it was easy to schedule my second cleaning in 6 months and the office staff assisted with sending paperwork into my insurance which was big help. Highly recommend."

I highly recommend this pratice especially Dr. Murphy"

"I like the Dentist and the staff. My Dentist seemed very knowledgeable and used common sense which is hard to find today. My cons were they wouldn't let you in the office till you called a number on the door and we're escorted in (covid over kill). They were very fast, I mean like a race which worries me about quality. Over all a good experience."

"I brought my two boys (7 and 10) for a regular 6 month cleaning and things were a bit different due to COVID. The COVID screening was texted to me for electronic completion prior to the appointments which was helpful. Myself and my boys all went into one room to see dental hygienist Daniel who was wonderful. My 7 year old just recently started brushing without help, so Daniel took out a toothbrush and mirror to show my son how he should be properly brushing on his own. It’s something so simple, but not easy for me to do at home. I really appreciated him answering all my boys’ “teeth” questions and going the extra mile to make sure they understand how to maintain healthy mouths. Thank you so much Daniel!"

I arrived at 8am as instructed to fill out paperwork. Receptionist met me at the door and explained in detail what to fill out and what I could leave blank. Super nice person. Long story short...

Danny was so polite and friendly and did an amazing job cleaning my teeth. I felt very comfortable with Dr Matt and Danny they make a great team. Also want to mention the woman up front who made the next appointment for my son. I didn’t get her name but she saved the day. I have an awful time getting my 27 year old to the dentist because he doesn’t like needles and she recommended something I didn’t know existed and that sealed the deal. Thank you preferred dental"

"Although I had missed a cleaning due to co-vid closure, my visit went very well. My hygienist Laura was awesome. She spent the time needed to get my teeth clean (it had been a YEAR- ewww!), had a great sense of humor AND singing voice. As always, Dr. Mestel takes care of business right away:I had chipped a small bit off a tooth,which left a rough edge that was irritating- he drilled it right down immediately. I pretty much skipped out of the office. I've been a patient for over 20 years and have never had a bad experience here, have always been treated well, and with genuine care for my dental health."

Very gentle yet quick to the point perfectionist, Dr.Malav Trivedi is good man with kind heart helping people smile one teeth at the time. If you lucky to have a dentist like Dr. Malav you almost want your teeth go bad is how good he's at his profession. Thank YOU Doc you are IT!"

"I have had very bad experiences in the past with root canals and had 2 teeth pulled just to avoid it. The dentist’s here assured me it would be different here. I was nervous for my first appointment for thrice start of my root canal. They put me totally at ease, made me feel so comfortable with every step of the procedure. I Truly felt like they cared. This is a wonderful group of dedicated, caring professional people from the office staff to the Dr’s. I can’t thank them enough for giving me back my confidence in dentists. I will never go anywhere else."

"Dr. Schulman and his assistant Chris were both great. I had to have a bridge done and it required four visits including their oral surgeon for an extraction. I’d recommend them all. They were professional, experienced, compassionate and kind. They were very upfront about the expense and worked with my insurance. It took six weeks but I’m very pleased with the results. Thanks!!"

"Dr. Jay Mestel is the best! I’ve been seeing him for years now and he is wonderful. Everything from cleanings to cosmetic dentistry - he does it all! Very skilled and efficient. This year Dr. Mestel did a set a set of porcelain veneers and they look amazing. Before, I was embarrassed to smile. Now it’s about all I do. Thank you Dr. Mestel!"

"Doctor Mestel is the best dentist out there. He not only is thorough but he is kind, he cares about his patients (which shows as patients follow him and ask for him everywhere). He made dentures for my father that lasted 20+ years! Now you tell me a dentist that can do that. He is very inviting and will only tell you what he sees as his professional opinion. These negative reviews are nonsense and my entire family sees Dr. Mestel (they even come from NYC and FL) because we only trust him"

"Dr. Schulman has been my dentist for over 20 years now. Because of his remarkable skills I have all of my teeth. I once pointed out to him, in, his over twenty years of service he has never made a mistake. That's not only remarkable, it's IMPOSSIBLE. John Grappone. Middletown, Ct."
"I needed a root canal, and Dr. Mestel seems to be one of the few dentists in CT who both performs root canals, and takes "Obamacare". He seems very efficient and professional, and the staff helped me to feel less anxious, especially the receptionist Tracey."
"I don't know what these other people are talking about. I have been a patient in Dr. Schulman's office for close to 10 years. All of my experiences in his office have been wonderful. The business staff is friendly and very helpful. The assistants and hygienists are caring and meticulous. And Dr. Schulman is very patient and provides excellent, caring and painless dental treatment. I recommend him highly."

"Best experience I have ever had with a dentist. The entire staff is wonderful. I only wish I still lived in CT so I could continue to be Dr. Stanley Schulman's patient. I have yet to find a practice that comes close to offering the quality, compassion, and service I received from Dr. Schulman and his practice. I just can't say enough wonderful things about this Dental and Implant Center."

"Awesome practice!My last dentist was just horrible and even though the office is an hour away from I'll still take the drive cause he's that good. Takes his time to talk with me and give me options on what's in my best interest. The staff is phenomenal, from administration to the assistants. Would I recommend anyone to the office? Uh, heck yeah!"

"This was my first visit to Dental and Implant Center. I was amazed to see how efficient and courteous the staff was. Dr. Mestel took time for any questions and discussed several options of treatment explaining what each would involve. We came up with a sensible plan. I can't wait to get started!"

"Profecional staff"
"From the minute I contacted Dr. Schulman's dental office I was treated well. The appointment was easy to make and the person on the phone was very friendly and informative. My first appointment was to have my teeth cleaned. The hygienist was very gentle. Dr. Schulman introduced himself at the end of the appointment and examined my teeth. I was told I needs some fillings. I made the appointment for the fillings and returned about 2 weeks later to have them done. I am extremely happy with the result and the treatment I received by Dr. Schulman and his staff. I recommend them highly."

"I've practically grew up in a dentist chair. Always had problems with my teeth. So I hate going to the dentist!!! However, I look forward to seeing Dr. Mestel. I found him to be personable and quick. He's in and out. Ask him anything and he'll answer. But he's a busy guy and I don't expect him to sit with me all day conversing. I love the practice. I even have my favorite hygienist. I give them two thumbs up."

"The office staff is wonderful, the wait time too long and the experience with Dr. Mestel a nightmare. Do not go to him. He's rude, rough and awful with children. Big mistake to go to him."
"TRaumataized as a child from a horrible dentist and never able to reach a comfort level with any other - I finally came upon Dr. Mestel. The best quality I can say about him is that he is quick and does quality work. He is in and out - which to me personally, is all I can ask. Surprisingly, his work is painless as well. I've had several procedures by him - and although, not overly enjoyable - it's all about my comfort level and I've been satisfied with the quality and time involved each time. Furthermore, the office staff is excellent. Prompt, inredibly courteous and knowledgable about their services and always willing to explain. I never sit in the waiting room longer than 2 minutes either. Highly recommended."
