Southbury Smiles

The very first time we visited I was pleasantly surprised not only about their happy, bubbly and caring staff but mostly I was amazed at how good and understanding they were with my son (he has autism and ADHD). We have been there for some years now and we still feel like family every time we stop by. Dr Stephen and his wife Tali genuinely care about all of their patients not only the medical part but they care like a good friend would. I love when we sit down and talk about our kids and our lives in general. Another amazing thing about them is that they are always looking for ways to help the community: visiting schools to talk about dental health, sponsoring scouts derby cars, fundraisers like the smile spot movie day where the proceeds go to local charities, buy back program where they buy back the kids Halloween candy to send it to the troops overseas and their we love our patients day at Quassy where not only do they have a great party for us but also they raise money for the local food bank. I recommend them to everyone I know because they're amazing. I really wish they would take parents too because I would be first in line :)

I agree with the billing issues. Dental cleanings, which should be free with my insurance, are not free here. If your plan only covers one fluoride treatment per year, they don't tell you until after the dental visit and you owe hundreds of dollars for a routine cleaning. He also pushes in office orthodontics on EVERY patient that I have seen come in. Please note that he is not an orthodontist and his appliances and braces frequently fall off. He talked us into it at $6,000 per child, biggest mistake ever.

I will not return to this dentist. If you go - better check your bill for items not performed and double billing issues.
