I made a recent switch from Aspen dental in Manchester (near my job) to Comprehensive Dental Health all the way in New Haven (in network), and what a difference in personal treatment and attention to detail. It honestly felt like going from the McDonald's of dentistry to a Five-star restaurant. It's a very pleasant surprise!

Amazing staff and overall experience. From the front desk to the dental assistants to the doctor himself, everyone was so kind and have great bedside manner. I wish I lived in New Haven full time, this would be my regular dental office. Thank you all for the care you provide! You all surpassed my expectations and made me feel at ease for what would have otherwise been a very scary procedure.
