I never thought one of my first Yelp reviews would be for a dentist office- but I had SUCH a pleasant experience.

The front desk staff was super sweet, offered tea, and made the process smooth.

Jamie was AWESOME- she explained everything as she taking x-rays and cleaning my teeth, and made me feel at ease (the first time I have felt like that at the dentist). She discussed whitening options with me without pushing expensive treatments. Transparency is something I value in medical situations, and Dr. Maria's team is great about it. Everyone here is easy to talk to.

As someone who has avoided the dentist for years- I'm so happy I found this gem and won't be going anywhere else. 🙂

Before you arrive they send you a text to confirm your appointment a week in advance, you reply C to confirm, and then they send you a reminder text the day of the appointment. So, there's no way you will miss your appointment.

Then you arrive and they have a Keurig Coffee while you wait. Then you seat at the dentist chair, and the chair has a massaging system!!! I am not kidding. Also their X-rays are digitalized and you can see them on a computer screen. They also have this cool little laser that measures the thickness of the inside of your teeth, so you can catch a problem way before it shows up. This would give any place at least 5 stars, but then there's the people. Everyone here is incredibly nice and personable, big smiles and friendly people, yet very professional.

I've moved a lot in the last 10 years. So, I've had about 5 different dentists in my life, most of them excellent places, but I can safely say this is THE best dentist and dentist experience I've had so far.

Absolutely the best. Dr. Maria and her team are absolutely top notch. 🙂

Dr. Maria is wonderful and I can't recommend her enough! I had a family friend dentist growing up and after moving away felt I would never be able to replicate the same level of personalized care and trust. (I bounced around to different dentists and didn't realize how important trust was until I ended up needing 3 root canals after a dentist I was seeing didn't seal my teeth properly and I got cavities under every tooth he had drilled...). That's what brought me to Dr. Maria, and I feel so lucky to have found her. Her staff is really nice, the office has massage chairs, and most importantly she is a true expert and takes time for her patients. I had a cap come off this past weekend and she replied to my email promptly (7am on a Saturday), thoroughly answered my questions, and offered to squeeze me in right away. I had the cap done while she was out on maternity leave and she even offered to redo it if it comes off again at no cost. Dr. Maria is exceptional!

I had such a wonderful first experience at Dr. Vasilakis' office and am thrilled to continue a lasting relationship there.

Let's start with the front office. Appointments are easy to schedule, they even double checked my insurance coverage, and printed out estimates for the work I needed done based on estimates of my insurance benefits. For me, that was above and beyond. I can't tell you how many times offices were so reluctant to give me any type of estimate on potential work when I asked. Or they were extremely cautious, making sure I understood it was just an estimate and might not even be very meaningful due to insurance fluctuations.

My hygienist - yes, I have my own hygienist which will see me through my bi-yearly appointments. Jaymi-Lyn was so informative and gentle. I loved that she talked me through every single step of what she's checking for, what this equipment does, and what I can check for myself at home. I also ask a lot of questions so I was glad at not only how patient she was, but how thorough her answers were. It feels wonderful to know I can continue to email her with questions that may arise before my next appointment.

Dr. Vasilakis - she was equally as gentle and warm as the rest of the staff. She listened to my concerns, my issues in the past, and how I wanted to proceed in the future with her. I'm so relieved to have the future of my tooth health in the hands of this wonderful office!

We brought our 19 month old to Dr Vasilakis this week and had a great experience. The staff are very professional and friendly and the office is clean and welcoming. The waiting room even had toys and books for toddlers. Our little one was not very cooperative and Dr Vasilakis and Betty were very patient with her. By the end of the appt they were actually able to get fluoride varnish painted on her teeth. We’ve already booked our next appointment!

I always have a lovely experience. Their team is very friendly and accommodating.

I had a great experience here. I have extremely sensitive teeth that required three gum grafting procedures. Anyone with this issue knows that cleanings can be excruciating. Dr. Maria was the one who finally caught this issue and referred me to a periodontist to have it taken care of. I continued to see Betty and Dr. Maria for my cleanings for years afterwards. I can't speak highly enough of Betty - she was so very considerate of my sensitivity. The last cleaning I had was painless - this was the first time in 5 years! I would highly recommend this practice. On a practical note, parking is pretty easy, for a city dentist - and I really appreciated that they have early morning and evening appointments - you don't have to rush from or miss work.

Excellent Dentist and Staff. One stop shop that can do Crowns on the spot

Dr. Maria and her staff are wonderful. She's really up to date with all the latest dental technology, does great work and has created a wonderful spa-like atmosphere for her practice!

After moving up to Boston, I was completely bummed that I had to find a new dentist. I happened upon this office based on the yelp reviews and I am very grateful. Everyone from the receptionists up to Maria is friendly and professional.

I have been here three times now, two cleanings and a cavity. The atmosphere is very relaxed and Maria fully explains everything before proceeding. In addition, she is not pushy when it comes to additional services. She suggested that I get a mouth guard, but didn't hound me like a used car salesman. Also, when we discussed teeth whitening, she said I could use Crest white strips if I had more time and didn't want to spend as much.

I recently moved to Southie, but keep coming back here because this is a dentist you keep for as long as you stay in Boston.

I live right across the street from Dr. Vasilakis, but for some reason the idea of a dentist in a split level house had me turned off. That is probably just an unfair bias from living in the area/city for too long and knowing how landlords are about upkeep with their properties. Well i have to say, i am sorry i did not put my biases aside sooner because i was more than pleased with my services from this office.

First of all, the idea of going to the dentist stresses me out. I had a very bad experience with my previous dentist and had not been in three years and i am a bit skeptical of the dental industry and the quality or service vs. the fees they charge.

Secondly, i have "weird" insurance (aka anything besides delta or blue cross dental) and placed several phone calls to area dentist to see if they accepted it, i was met with a no, confusion, or no help what-so-ever. The person who i spoke to on the phone at Dr. Vasilakis' office was very helpful with explaining to me that they did accept my insurance, but they were out of network. I was not sure what that entailed or how it would effect me and they explained it all out for me. This was my deciding factor in booking an appointment.

When i arrived at the office the receptionist was very friendly and the office was quite modern and clean. I was promptly brought into my room for x-rays and a cleaning. My hygienist, Jamie-Lynn (sp?) was great. She was very friendly and easy to talk to and made me feel relaxed. Also - the fact that the chairs have a built in massager did not hurt either. She took the time to go over my e-rays with me, as well as explaining everything she was doing. She was also very knowledgeable with the questions that i had about some issues i have going on. I also received the least stressful and painless cleaning ever!

The Doctor came in and greeted me and was very friendly. She went over some areas of concern and a treatment plan, while explaining each procedure, why i needed it, and what it entailed. Nothing was pushed on me and it was a very easy experience overall. It was also nice to have a younger female doctor in a sea of what seems like a profession filled with 70 year old men with nose hairs and antiquated teachings. I was also pleased to hear about her and Jamie-Lynn's (sp?) humanitarian efforts in Honduras, if i remember correctly.

I would recommend Dr. Vasilakis to anyone in the area for a relaxed and professional dental environment! Glad i found them!

I have been going to Dr. Maria for over 10 years. She has saved many of my teeth that other dentists couldn't save. She is honest and skilled. She takes the time to explain options. Her entire staff are friendly and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Maria

Wonderful experience all around. Extremely clean facility and friendly staff. Would 100% recommend to anyone.

Dr. Maria and her staff are excellent in all that they do. The quality of care is exceptional. Their commitment to their patients health and well being is paramount. They do everything they can to make you feel comfortable either during the process or about future work that you may be thinking about. And, last but not least, the super duper hi tech equipment is very cool!! I never, ever thought I'd say this, but going to the dentist is now fun... (crazy huh?).
