Professional dentists and caring service.

John Roseman

Always an excellent experience. Appointments start on time. Staff is always very efficient and professional.

Dental Care is expensive, and Dental insurance provides minimal coverage, plus its choices for coverage are difficult to understand or justify. So, it is good to know that Smile Brookline seems to provide a competent standard of clinical service. The staff and clinicians (dentists, surgeons, nurses, hygienists, etc.) are almost uniformly pleasant and personable, caring and skillful professionals. It is understandable that their natural and professional predilection is to urge their patients firmly to follow their directions, sometimes to the point where it may feel to some that they might not be flexible enough in appreciating the individual differences of their patients.

Dr. Faris and her assistant are great. They always make sure I’m comfortable during any procedure. They’re very friendly and their sense of humor makes me forget I’m even at the dentist office. Everything is always clean and the receptionists are very friendly and personable.

This review is long overdue. I can not say enough great things about this dental practice. Sara Stock and the Smile Brookline team are the best dental practice I have found in the Boston area since I moved here in 1987. I had another Brookline dentist for 15+ years, who passed away about 8 years ago. Since that time I have tried other Boston and Cambridge dental referrals from friends, but they left me feeling unsatisfied with their level of professionalism and service until I came to Sara Stock’s practice. My first visit to Smile Brookline was July 2018. I came in for a first cleaning and consultation. Alison, did a great job making my teeth pearl white again with a thorough cleaning. Dr. Stock followed up with the clinical and health evaluation. After being given some tips for improved dental hygiene (flossing twice a day, stop using Glide, start rubber tipping my gum line etc.) to prevent gum and tooth decay she then moved on to my smile goals. I told her that about 40 years ago my brother knocked out my two front teeth. About 20 years ago I had a beautiful set of front teeth put in (one a veneer and the other a crown). The crown I loved and I didn’t want to touch it ever, but the veneer, which was replaced about 9 years ago, I was not happy with the color, shape or match to my crown. She used a 3D imaging tool “CEREC” to show me how I could improve my smile. We discussed treatment options and timing of services so it would fit my busy life and budget. I left feeling very satisfied with my visit. In August, I took my 4 year old son camping in the White Mountains, NH. During our trip, my son made a superman leap head first into my mouth. While I was comforting my crying son, I realized I had a loose tooth. I reached in my mouth and pulled out my 20 year old crown. Yes, the one I wanted to keep forever! I called my NEW dental team at Smile Brookline and asked for HELP! They were AMAZING! I was only in town for one day before I had to fly to Minnesota to visit family. They made time for me to come in and fix my smile for Minnesota family photos. I have to tell you the photos from our day at Story Land, NH were ugly. I had a big black hole in my smile. I had to fix this before family photos in Minnesota. Fast forward to my appointment, they used the Cerec machine once again, my new best friend. They imaged me, cut a new tooth from the 3D image and custom fit the tooth to perfect my smile. This was all completed in about 3 hours including a park break for my 4 year old son. FYI…there is a park 1 block behind the dental office. BTW…while all this was going on, Alison cleaned my son’s teeth as well. He had fun at the dental office! LOL Fast forward to yesterday (December, 13, 2018) I had a follow up cleaning with Sarah. She did an amazing job. My teeth came out bright white, smooth and clean. Let me tell you, not all cleanings are created equal. You will notice the difference if you visit the Smile Brookline team. Aside from being an all-female/women dental practice, which I have never seen before, they are professional and take pride in their work. If you come here you will not feel like a customer at a deli counter, but you will feel that you are being served and serviced by a team of professionals, who take pride in their work and care about you. One thing I can tell you is that my 4 year old loves going to see Dentist Sara. That is about as good of a review as it gets!

Smile Brookline is very unprofessional in the way they treat their minority clients. The doctors and receptionist are very racist and rejected service to my mother (who is Vietnamese) on the basis that she does not speak English well. They turned her away after repeatedly telling her she does not understand English and they cannot treat her unless she brings a translator— this is ironic since my mother owns two salons and is capable of running both while not “understanding english.” Afterwards, my mother left without getting any services done and they proceeded to charge her for the visit anyway. The doctors refused to apologize for the unprofessional treatment of my mother and subsequently sent my mother three letters saying they are terminating the client-patient relationship because she is Asian; and they cannot work with someone who doesn’t speak and understand English. We are in the process of filing a lawsuit for racism and unfair treatment of minority clients. Make sure you are white and speak perfect English before you come here—in fact, don’t even bother coming if you are Asian or whatever race that is “incompetent” with the English language/have an accent etc.— else they will turn you down and tell you to bring a translator. What a disgrace to the professional standards and ethics that were supposedly taught to all doctors in medical school. It is sad how they managed to keep this place running; who knows how many others they have treated this way and were unable to speak up because they “don’t speak English well.”

Very friendly staff, very good experience.

I've been coming to Smile Brookline since I was a child. We switched from another dentist who thought it was okay to leave me alone with an uncomfortable ring in my teeth for 30 minutes while attending to another patient. I've never had to wait around at Smile Brookline. Dr. Stock and Dr. Stevo are the best!

Andy Sweeney

Probably the best dentist in the greater Boston area. I have been a patient for 12 years, they are always professional, make you feel at ease and all their team take care of you in every step of the way. Cheers to them.

Barbara Siletsky

Friendly, caring and personal. They walk through all procedures prior to.starting and keep aware of clients' comfort during the process. I've always been more than satisfied with the dental work I've had done try here.

Dr Stock has been my dentist for more than 20 years and she is wonderful. Her staff are the best too!

I used to be very anxious about visiting the dentist but Dr. Yi and Sarah have always been really comforting during exams and cleanings. I have been a patient of Dr. Yi for several years and highly recommend Smile Brookline to anyone looking for a dentist! Every staff member I have met so far, from desk staff to technicians to dentists, every one has been great!

A truly personal experience from the whole team at Smile Brookline. My care is exceptional and I really appreciate the emphasis on prevention. The team has always been there for emergencies like broken teeth when i need them.

Highly and warmly professional service at all the levels. Work quietly and perfectly done and very well explained. Relaxing and smiling atmosphere appreciated by the patient. Cosy and familiar environment bringing confidence. Paul (French retired scientist and visiting scholar at BC)

K Chaput

Dr. Stock is the best dentist I've ever been too. She is a perfectionist and always thinking about how to make your smile look better. She is personable, she cares, and has extreme attention to detail.

I've been a patient at Smile Brookline for many years now and the care I've received has been consistently outstanding in every way. I'm very grateful to Dr. Stock and her great staff!

Mary Bradley

Truly caring practice that values patients as individuals and tailors dental care accordingly.

Matthew Urban

I was taken right on time. Sarah scraped my teeth in a gentle manner while coaching me on ways for better oral hygiene. The x rays were uncomfortable but it really gives Dr. Stevo and her team the best shot at catching trouble areas and cavities. The appointment wrapped up with an oral exam and review of my treatment plan. I walked away in under 60 minutes and with some great new woven floss and toothpaste. I want to thank Sarah, Dr. Stevo and their front office for a great dental experience. Highly recommend!

Neal Appel

Fantastic people, from the front desk on in.

Glen Schaff

Have been a patient for over 20 years. Great dentist's, and great staff. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

matthew miller

great dentists and staff

Bonnie Benhayon

I just got two new crowns and Dr Ye did a beautiful job. It was complicated, as they were next to each other and I have close teeth, but the final result is perfect. The office is well run and welcoming and all of the staff is very professional and highly skilled.

Miriam Cooper

Both times that I have had my teeth cleaned at Smile I have been extremely satisfied. The hygienist is very competent and thorough,as well as having a very pleasant personality. My 3rd visit on 12/05 was superb and beyond thorough.

Meixia L

I see Dr. Yi for Invisalign and I appreciate that she takes the time to listen to my concerns and really involve me in my treatment. She was very gentle when she had to manually file down between my teeth to create space for them to shift. I’ve recommended several friends to this practice and three of them are now Dr. Yi’s patients!

Laurie Ferrell

How often can one say they love their dental team?

Jamie BO

Lovely people work here. I always have a positive experience here- and I am terrified of dentists! I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Caroline Pisacka

I had a cleaning today and was quite impressed with how knowledgeable my hygenist was. She had great flossing tips, information on gum health and teeth structure. As we age it’s important to take preventive steps to prolong our teeth and she really conveyed steps to do that and some of her own struggles.

Martha Hass

Dr. Steevo was fantastic dealing with my fractured front tooth. She worked on it for over two hours and stabilized it for now. She explained all the possibilities for future work that will need to be done. She is patient, kind and a perfectionist to the nth. I would recommend her to any of my family and friends.
