Dental Specialties Inc Patient Testimonials – Dedham or Randolph MA

I had such a wonderful experience at Dental Specialties in Dedham, MA! I’m so happy they were able to take me on a Saturday, which was so convenient for my schedule. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles at the front desk, which immediately put me at ease. This was my very first visit, and everything went so smoothly. I arrived early to fill out paperwork, and the process was quick and easy. We also had an appointment booked for me and my son so my husband was there to assist. Although my little one was upset (as toddlers can be), the dental assistant was incredibly patient, gentle, and kind with him. It meant a lot to see how caring and understanding they were. My own cleaning and x-rays were done efficiently and thoroughly. The dental assistant, Missy was amazing—we chatted throughout the process, and everything felt comfortable and stress-free. The cleaning itself was one of the best experiences I’ve had at a dental office. I’m honestly thrilled to know this office is only 10 minutes away from our home. Thank you so much, Dental Specialties, for making my first visit such a positive one. I’ll definitely be back for my next appointment!

The best dentist ever! The staff is amazing...

Absolutely love this place and honestly find it hard to believe any negative review or comment. The staff is wonderful and Dr. Emami is a funny, kind man. As for people complaining about costs - teeth are expensive. Even with insurance. Get over it or do something to change how the US designs their dental plans. Update: Vote yes on question 2!!!

Has been our family dentist office for years now and everyone has always been incredible with us and do great work.

Excellent service! Sandy was amazing

So, so happy I found this place! Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable and I feel like I am in good hands for once. I highly recommend.

Everyone is friendly. Each doctor and assistant are so kind. They make my teeth look great with a smile!

Always so friendly and understanding! Love the text message reminders and confirmations. Have not had a single poor experience with any of the team here

Knowledgeable and caring dental office. Highly recommended!

I had my dental implant placed at the Dental Specialist, as recommended by my good friend. Before I found out about Dr. Emami I went to a few “best” dental clinics in Boston area, to do my first implant in my life and I did not like what I’ve heard. They way they were presenting the procedure and especially the total anesthesia issues completely discouraged me to do so, until my friend told me “You need to see Dr. Emami, he is the best”. And she was right ! Dr. Emami at my first visit explained everything very clearly, straight to the point (without “sugarcoating” like the other dentists did). At the next visit Dr. Emami removed my damaged/infected root with a crawn, that was redone a few times over a few years at what they called “best dental clinics”. Dr. Emami performed the extraction and the bone graft at the same time, under complete I.V. anesthesia (upon my request) without any problems, very smoothly. I was very surprised I didn't feel any pain, or swelling afterwards, and I didn’t even take one pain medication or a cold pad, as I did not experience any discomfort. Then, my implant placement visit came, which I was afraid of the most after seeing/hearing stories from other friends who got their implants done at the clinics, that are considered “the best”. Here is how they described those clinics: “yes, they have sophisticated interior design and nice finishing, but that’s about it because the dentist are sucks, and they told you want you want to hear”. For the implantation, I asked Dr. Emami to go with full anesthesia again, and he agreed to do so. This time the procedure was even more shocking, because after I woke up and days after I literally did not feel anything, to the point I was starting thinking to myself it this is normal - since I saw my other friends who got their implants at other clinics and it was horrible, they had bruises, swelling, pain, etc. and I got none of these ! Everything was pleasant and smooth. Dr. Emami is very nice, one of the kind with a good sense of humor, and most importantly highly talented doctor. Full professionalism! The entire team is incredibly friendly and supportive. They were very patient with me (considering my high anxiety). I highly recommend this dental office and I wish I had discovered it sooner... Thank you Dr. Emami and the entire Team and I’m looking forward to my next visit! Happy New Year 2026 Everyone !!! Best, Joanna

I have been a patient of Dr. Robert Emami’s at Dental Specialties in Randolph for at least the last 20 years and in that time have referred well over two dozen others to him. As any dentist can tell you, the three kinds of patients that every dentist dreads are those who have difficulty getting numb, those who are hypersensitive and those with violent, hair-trigger gag reflexes — and when I was born, I hit the trifecta in that regard. Yet, I have still been able to receive quality dental care there, despite my challenges! In addition to overseeing my general dental care, Dr. Emami is also trained and certified as both an oral surgeon anesthesiologist, so when a previous dentist’s root canal suddenly transformed into a life-threatening bone infection that literally dissolved all of the roots of two molars, Dr. Emami cleared his schedule and rushed me in for the surgery that saved my life — a surgery and cleaning out that eventually required 12 grams of bone grafts (an area about the size of a man’s thumb) to fill! There’s a reason why Dental Specialties has received rave reviews and articles in such publications as The Boston Globe and The New York Times, and I am living proof of it. They’re not the cheapest dental practice you’ll ever find, but they are among the best (and I say this as the 60+ year-old son of a dentist, who’s experienced the full range of dental work from both good, bad, awful and phenomenal oral health professionals, over the course of my lifetime, and now, will never go anywhere else).

I was referred to Dental Specialties following my relocation to Randolph in 2024. In recent years, Ive had some dental work performed in Virginia to replace several old silver fillings and install 2 crowns due to my poor dental habits when I kid in the 1970s. During my first visit to Dental Specialties for a routine cleaning and x-rays, I was shocked to learn one of the crowns, probably less than 5 years old, had an abscess. Dr. Emami showed me the x-ray and expressed his concern. He prescribed antibiotics and I returned twice over 3-4 weeks to check the progress. At the follow-up visit, Dr. Emami was very direct and told me I needed to have the tooth extracted. I was pretty upset, not with Dr. Emami, but because I grew up in coal country West Virginia and still had all my teeth. :) I asked Dr. Emami if there were other options and he said no, that if I didn’t have the tooth extracted, I would lose not only that tooth, but others as well because the bacterial infection would spread and make the problem worse. Dr. Emami extracted the tooth quickly and did a bone graft to create a stable foundation for an implant. Dr. Emami also requested Dr. Perez assess the amount of gum recession on my bottom front teeth and recommended periodontal surgery. I had never heard of this type of procedure but listened to his recommendation, did some research, and learned Dr. Emami and Dr. Perez knew what they were talking about. Dr. Perez performed the gum surgery and within three weeks, my gums looked like brand new. I was surprised with Dr. Perez’s gentle nature and kindness during the examination and surgery, but don’t let that fool you, he knows what he is doing. Two weeks ago, Dr. Emami installed the implant in place of my missing tooth without issue. I look forward to getting the crown installed and moving on in a few months. I find Dr. Emami to be highly professional and knowledgeable. All three of the recommended procedures were performed expertly and surprisingly, following the first day, no pain. For dental procedures, based on my experience, it is uncommon. The Dental Specialties dentists, dental hygienists and assistants, and support staff are all exceptional, polite, and friendly. They answer questions when asked and present information in a professional manner. I don’t have to name specific individuals because they are exemplary. Ive read some of the negative comments about Dr. Emami’s “bedside manner”, the costs of procedures, whatever. If you want your hand held and be told everything will be ok, see a therapist and find a practice that that isn’t filled with folks from the best dental schools in the country, such as Boston University, Tufts University, University of Pennsylvania, or Virginia Commonwealth University. No offense to any institution I left out. If you want the direct truth about your situation, recommended solutions, and expert dental care, get over your feelings and listen to Dr. Emami. Dental Specialties is the place to go, and I highly recommend it to anyone serious about taking care of their teeth.

Last Monday I drove to Randolph from Sturbridge to have a temporary crown glued back in place. I had the pleasure of meeting Kaysea for the first time and was impressed. Casey did a great job of cleaning and fitting the temporary. I really saw Kaysea’s skill when Dr Emami decided to replace the temporary. Kaysea started the process by taking molds. This is usually a painful process for me due to ‘bumps’ on the inside of my lower gums. I alerted Kaysea to this and she was able to make it painless. Kaysea then made and adjusted the new temporary. It was dramatically better than the initial one both in size and fit. Kaysea made a number of adjustments before gluing it in place and then Dr Emami made the final adjustments. While I will, of course, be careful not to dislodge the temporary I’ve never had a temporary that fit this well or was more functional. Add all that to Kaysea’s excellent ‘chair side manner’ and I want to share my appreciation. My wife, Denise, and I have been clients for many years and, as evidenced by our willingness to drive 3 hours round trip, have been very happy with our dental care. Adding talent such as Kaysea to the team makes Dental Specialities even more compelling

I just wanted to give Dr. Singh, my endodontist a shout out for being amazing at job. She's the best 💙 She preformed 2 root canals & whiten a 20 year old root canal on my front tooth with such perfection, made me feel comfortable & with no discomfort. Also, I want to praise the staff who are incredibly kind & professional. Thank you Dr. Singh & staff for all that you do. I highly recommend Dental Specialist to all.

Had a great experience not only was the front staff pleasant but so was the hygienist and the doctor. They were able to squeeze me in for a next day new patient appt and treated me as if I was a long time patient. Thank you!

This is topnotch dental care. The staff is amazing. The orthodontist is a miracle worker. There isn’t enough nice things to say about this place. The atmosphere is always therapeutic, clean, welcoming and this is where people know your name. They go the extra miles to help you get your needs met. Super military friendly which shows true patriotism. Over fifteen years of compassionate service to my family. I’m grateful to you all. Keeps Randolph smiling beautifully as you naturally do.

Absolutely the place to go if you have a severe phobia of dentists, don't be scared they will provide the medication and care to get you through it!

Oh my God the way these people have change my life. They work quickly & EFFICIENTLY. Im never there for more than an hour. The staff are friendly beautiful people & Appointments are never far off from eachother, I guess what Im saying they are GREAT in terms of availability. They are very accommodating & work with your needs based on your financial situation. Where as in my past experience most dental offices create a treatment plan that will make them the most money. But unrealistic for the patient. Im so very happy to have been referred here by a friend now I tell all my friends they gave me My smile back & I havent been able to stop smiling since. Thank You all! THANK YOU DR Emami , Heather, & so many others whos names I cant remember at this moment.

My family and I have been going here for the past five years after a terrible experience with my previous dentist. Dr. Emani and his staff are extremely kind, the practice is modern and spotless. Everyone’s always so welcoming. The doctor actually cares about his patients and truly looks for my best interest. Dr Emami also did my wisdom teeth removal recently, although the procedure is invasive (in my case), he did an amazing job and the recovery wasn’t bad at all. While most people have awful experiences at the dentist, I’ve yet to have one here!

I've been going to Dental Specialties for many years. The facility in Randolph is modern and clean, and the staff is great. Especially Dr Graham, who routinely goes above and beyond for his patients. If you're looking for a new dentist, I'd highly recommend a look.

I've been going there for several years, all of the dental hygienist are nice, but Shannon really makes me feel the most comfortable, she's very gentle and she explains everything that she noticed with my teeth and any possible treatment options.

The whole staff is extremely nice, but Shannon was the BEST honestly. I hadn’t been to the dentist in about 5 years and needed some serious cleaning done. She was super personable, made me laugh and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. Highly recommend

I love all the staff at Dental Specialties. They have been enhancing my smile since I moved to the beautiful town of Randolph over a decade ago. My family and I love to smile and there is nothing like the beautiful smiles brought to you by the fantastic dentists and orthodontists in town. We are grateful to your beautiful staff, Dental Apecialties. Let’s keep Randolph smiling😁 Respectfully, Your friendly neighbor Dr. J from Beautiful Mind PMHS😇🌹🥰☮️🇺🇸

I grew up in Randolph, went off to college, lived in a different city, been around the world and back again (not really) and I always come back to Dental Specialties in Randolph for my dental care. I started coming here when I was in 2nd grade and received all types of services at Dental Specialities: braces, routine cleanings, preventative care and restorative care. Everything is always painless, quick and diligent. I've seen many doctors and they are all knowledgeable, gentle and kind. The front desk is super sweet, competent, and willing to be flexible. I recommend them to EVERYONE!

I appreciate you Shannon Flynn-James! I am horrified when it comes to visiting the dentist and you made my cleaning so effortless. I had no pain, which I expect pain no matter what when it comes to going to the dentist. Other hygienists arent as patient as you are, you calmed me down, made me laugh and it seemed like you took extra time with me. No one else was ever so thorough.

Always runs on time. Dental hygienists are great, my teeth always feel great. Dr Emami is a great dentist.

Best dentist ever! No fuss. Good pain-control. Charming people.

definitely recommend, I had a great experience my first time there. The staff was very welcoming and the hygienist was really gentle and easy to talk to! She told me exactly what was going on and offered an alternative when a specific tool bothered me. i won't dread going back for my next dentist appointment :)

Best dental office I’ve ever been to. Everyone is so nice and great teamwork. I would most definitely recommend!!!

My family has been going here for years and we always receive the very best service from everyone. They customise treatment for each patient and really listen to questions and/or concerns. I can't imagine going anywhere else.

Lovely people awesome family oriented place

The staff at Dental specialties is very professional.

Best dental practice around. Great for kiddos and adults. Will not go anywhere else. Love Dental Specialties.

Honestly, if you can find a better dental office, I would be shocked. From the moment I walked in, I was treated better than I can describe. My family is from the south and they are not that friendly. Pam at the front knew I was there for a consult about a root canal, she must have known I was nervous because she chatted with me and it calmed me down a lot and eased my nerves. I got back and started my xrays, while I cannot remember the gentleman's name who did them, he was extremely nice and professional. My final step was with Nicole and Dr. Emami. After taking a look at the tooth, they went over some options with me. Never once was I pushed in any direction. While they were ready to do the work that day, they said if I was up in the air, I could have a few days to think it over. You might go in on your first visit without them knowing your name, but, I promise, before you leave that first visit, they will all know your name without looking at a file and every time after that. If every doctor I have to see was as great and had the bedside manner Dr. Emami has, I would go more often. The last person to write a review must have been at the wrong place.
