This place is really, truly awesome. The hygienist, Amy, took extra time to explain everything to my girls, to let them ask questions, to make jokes. Girls (3 and 5 yo) were completely at ease. Dr. Regen was also easy to talk with and ask questions. My oldest has had some significant tooth trauma, and the practice has been so helpful and assuring. I started going to their adult practice and equally endorse.

We had a fantastic experience at Chestnut Dental. Dr. Donnell took the best possible care of my child from beginning to end of the braces process. Everyone in the Bedford office is extremely nice, actually. Even talking about insurance and financing is painless, which is pretty remarkable. I cannot recommend this office more highly.

Evelyn just got a card from your office congratulating her on a fantastic job getting her tooth wiggled out. She wants you to know the tooth fairy did, in fact, bring her something special. What a nice touch to what was a surprisingly pleasant experience. Amazing office and staff. Thank you!

Thank you for all your care!! Demetri’s teeth look amazing!!! Can’t possibly express how pleased we are! Dr. Donnell and his staff were amazing!! Would highly recommend the orthodontic practice! The process of getting braces was a very scary thought, and everyone in the practice helped ease the process and now that they are off, we couldn’t be happier! Great job!

My son’s teeth look absolutely amazing and has the perfect smile all thanks to Dr. Donnell!! Chestnut Dental is the best and the entire staff is great!

Dr. Scott did my daughters braces recently. What a wonderful job he did. Her teeth look beautiful! He is so kind to all the children that he helps and has great patience. I highly recommend him!

After not having had an actual full dental checkup in years secondary to a move from Phoenix and the wonderful times of Covid-19, I finally received one yesterday at Chestnut Dental in Needham. "Wow!" is all I can say. Wonderful, thorough, and pleasant experience from start to finish. The hygienist (Kim) that worked on me was terrific, as was the dentist who did the final check off. Very much appreciate it and will be using forward for all my family members. Thanks.

We had a fabulous experience with Chestnut Dental. Dr. Donnell did an amazing job on our son's orthodonture. His teeth look great, and Chestnut Dental's service was first rate!

Took my 5 year old son here for a second opinion. My son had a deep cavity and the first practice (we were referred to) told me that he needed a crown and suggested general anesthesia because of his fear of the dentist. We took him to Chestnut and they said a filling (no need for crown as it hadn’t hit the root yet) and to try with laughing gas first. They were able to get us in quick and he was able to have it all done with just laughing gas. Super impressed and thankful for that second option I got. Highly recommend.

Chestnut Dental is my family's go to for all preventative care and orthodontia. Adult care and pediatric care are phenomenal! Ortho is superb! Equally important is the caring staff in each department who never fail to be polite and to find a way to schedule appointments with ease. They have evening and Saturday appointments as well. Their pandemic communication was transparent and their protocols upon resuming services were well-explained. If you are looking for a careful touch and kindness in spades, now you know where to go!

Very happy with the care both of my daughters receive here. Pleasant staff. Clean office. Dr Chason is a great Orthodontist. Both my girls felt very comfortable with him. Very pleased with the end result after braces

I have been a patient of Dr. Sharon Jin for two years. She is very competent and a clear communicator. Very happy to have her as my dentist.

I seriously can not say enough wonderful things about Dr. McBride & Chestnut dental. My son has had cavities since very young & very unpleasant experiences elsewhere. This has caused him & I lots of anxiety going to have work done. Dr. McBride & team are so amazing at calming him down, explaining everything & moving slow enough to relax him. Thank you all so much for making my job as a mom & easing a childs fears way easier.

I have been a part of the Chestnut Dental family for over 30 years! I credit my LOVE for going to the dentist to this amazing group of professionals. My first of four children just got his braces off and his teeth look AMAZING. They spent the time to get it right before, during and after his braces were on and are committed to keeping his teeth healthy and looking great. Thank you!

I have been a patient of Chestnut Dental for over 15 years, starting in their Needham practice. I was thrilled when I heard they had opened a Bedford office. The location has terrific access from the Bedford and Burlington office parks. Dr. Jin and Dr. Strakus have both been wonderful and I am very happy with the care I have received with regards to cleanings, fillings and taking care of a cracked tooth.

I find the office staff and the providers that I work with to be some of the best in healthcare. My wife, my kids, and myself have had nothing but a 5-star experience.

Dr. Donnell was fantastic! Excellent experience with Invisalign treatment. Highly recommend him and the team at Chestnut Dental!

Thank you to Jenny, Amy, Alyssa, and Dr. Regen for a wonderful visit for my 3 boys today! You are all so kind and caring and go above and beyond so that your patients have a positive experience. I can't thank you enough! As we were getting in the car to go home one of my sons asked if we could go again next week. 🙂 Keep up the good work!

Thank you to Dr. Anne Hertzberg and Marina at Chestnut Dental Associates for going above and beyond today for this little girl who has never been to the dentist. She needed two extractions and was treated like royalty today. The whole staff was incredible and made a very scary experience go off without any problems!

Dr. Zaki is the BEST! I highly recommend her! She makes me feel comfortable coming to the dentist! She has a great attitude & a funny sense of humor! She will spend time with you to go over all options to make you feel as ease when you leave. Just THE BEST!

Both my kids had Dr. Donnell as their orthodontist. He is great! He keeps parents informed while taking great care of the kids. We have two happy smiles here and I’d recommend Dr. Donnell to anyone! You can’t go wrong!

The Needham practice was fantastic with my nearly three year old daughter. Dr. Shusterman was very attentive and the hygienists worked so well with my daughter to drive home the importance of taking care of her teeth, as well as giving her the tools and knowledge to do so. I can't recommend these people enough!

Highly recommend this office for all your orthodontic and dental needs! Both my boys had 2 years of braces and I have nothing but positive things to say about the entire staff and the whole process from start to finish!!

My 13 year old son just finished his orthodontic treatment with Dr. Donnell and we were very happy with the results. They are very caring and great with kids, Dr. Donnell is sweet and friendly, both my kids have had a very positive experience with the practice.

We had an excellent experience with Dr. Donnell applying braces for our daughter. Everything was explained in detail, and the entire process went as planned. Could not be happier with the results, and would highly recommend the team at Chestnut Dental!
