Patient Reviews & Comments

I recently completed my orthodontic treatment with Dr. Alana and her wonderful team, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, they were absolutely amazing—professional, kind, and genuinely invested in our care. My daughter also had her braces done here, and we both felt fully supported every step of the way.
What truly sets Dr. Alana and her team apart is how much they care. We weren’t just patients—we were treated like family. The warmth, attention to detail, and consistent communication made all the difference. Highly recommended for anyone looking for expert care with a personal touch.

Dr. Alana Bednarz and her staff are, as usual, very professional and friendly. The office is welcoming and very clean. My son always feels comfortable getting his scans and teeth checked. I give Dental Arts of Westwood two enthusiastic thumbs up!

The staff and the doctor are wonderful. Carrie was so professional when helping me. I was so nervous, but they ensured me that I would be alright. Never liked the dentist. But I will be returning. Thank you for everything.

Great experience. And Meghan is the nicest dental hygienist ever. She made sure not to hurt me and was very careful the whole time. She’s awesome!! :))

I have both Jocelyn and Keira for my cleanings. They are excellent!! Both have amazing skills of being firm yet gentle. Dr. Ashley also excellent! Since I have switched to this office, the appointments run on time:)

Well, hello there! I see you are looking for a new dental office. Do you have a history of anxiety or fear of sitting in the dental chair? Have you had bad experiences in the past with dental procedures that were painful? Have you avoided going to the dentist because of this? Let me tell you something; I was in your shoes many times over the years. Painful root canals, painful fillings, painful cleanings. I always dreaded going to the dentist because of, you got it, pain during and afterwards. I decided to look for a new dental practice around 8 years ago and did exactly what you are doing now. Hopped onto Google, started reading the reviews for Dr. Dan and crew and immediately felt like this would be a good place to have a fresh new start to my dental health. I am so grateful I made the switch. NO more painful cleanings, and listen to this. NO MORE PAINFUL FILLINGS! I had 3 old leaking, cracked fillings replaced yesterday. I don't know what kind of magic Dr. Dan used but I didn't feel any pain at all! Nothing. Three fillings replaced, no pain.
Take this as your sign to make the switch. I promise you will not be sorry. Everyone at Dental Arts of Westwood is fantastic. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my review and have a fantastic day.

My second visit to Dental Arts and it was as seamless as the first. Meg did a great job explaining each step of the process and offering me great feedback. My follow up with Dr Sullivan confirmed Meg has me on a good plan

I had a dental emergency and I was filled with anxiety - Dr. Dan and his team squeezed me in their busy schedule as he worked his magic pain free. Megan his assistant was wonderful stayed by me keeping me updated on the upcoming procedure. Dr.Dan is an amazing Dr. so upbeat, calmed my nerves and I left with a fixed tooth and felt no pain. Forever grateful.

I had a positive experience at my recent dental cleaning. The staff was warm, welcoming, and professional. The doctor was gentle but thorough, taking the time to explain what she was doing and making sure I was comfortable throughout the process. My teeth feel incredibly clean, and I left feeling well taken care of. The office is clean and organized, and everything ran right on schedule. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality care and a friendly atmosphere!

This is a long review but might help other parents! I've been seeing Dr. Dan for years but we moved so I have been taking my kids to a dentist in our town, because it's closer. My 8 year old needed teeth pulled and completely panicked. The office we went to tried but she was scared she wouldn't let them anywhere near her and they referred her for sedation dentistry. That scared her too though so I talked to Dr. Dan's office, explained what was going on and they brought her in just to meet him and so he could explain to her what he'd need to do. She's my child who tried to run last time she got a shot and who needed 2 people to get her throat culture done, so truthfully I was expecting her to refuse to do anything. We started the appointment with Carlos who was PHENOMENAL with her. He spent so much time just talking to her, showing her step by step what would happen and going above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and like she was in control. Then Dr. Dan came in, talked her through everything too and made her feel so comfortable. Not only did she say she was OK with moving forward, she asked if they could take the teeth today, instead of coming back in a few days when she'd have some time to mentally prepare! They did and the appointment couldn't have gone better. When she started to get a little scared during the actual extraction, Carlos held her hand and they both talked her through, calming her down right away. I'm honestly blown away by how well they handled everything. I couldn't have asked for a better experience for her and on the ride home she said "Mommy, can he be my dentist all the time?" We will definitely be switching her over and I already made sure we scheduled our next appointment when Carlos will be working too.

I can't say enough how much I love this place. As a senior citizen who is scared to death of needles, that is saying alot.. I've had cleaning, cavities filled, tooth/teeth pulled, oral surgeries and currently orthodontic care and they are the kindest, most gentle, tolerant (yeah.. I cried the entire time (5 minutes I think) they were pulling a tooth and caring dental team I have ever experienced.I have moved 70 miles away and still drive back every 3 months for my orthodontics.I told them I was only going to wear my invisaline every other Saturday because when my treatment is done ( not for a while yet) it will feel like we're breaking up.They truly are the best.Theresa LNew Hampshire

I recently made the switch to a new dentist after going to the same one for over 15 years, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! From the very first interaction, everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming, making the transition seamless.
The office itself is designed to put you at ease—there’s a TV playing Friends right in front of you, and even one on the ceiling when you lay back, which is such a thoughtful touch. The head dentist even took time to personally answer a few of my questions, which really showed their commitment to patient care.
Every staff member was kind, outgoing, and gentle, making what could be a stressful experience feel completely comfortable. As we all know, teeth are such a sensitive area, and they handled everything with such care and professionalism. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience—I’m so glad I made the switch!

I'm a long time patient of Dental Arts and recommend them to all my friends. The facilities are state of the art and the entire staff is lovely. This practice always does right by its patients and looks for ways to save money while getting you the best care possible. I know people who moved north of Boston who still come back to Westwood to for dental care because this practice is so great.

The staff at Dental Arts of Westwood is always professional and attentive. I had previously ha a very traumatic experience with another dentist. Consequently, I didn’t got to a dentist for over five years. Since seeing Dr. Dan I do not feelanxious. Dr. Dan understood the traumatic experience I went through and alsoshared what he had experienced. He was understanding and took great care to make sure I was comfortable . The hygienist Robyn is the best. She is professional and makes sure you are comfortable. I highly recommend this dental office. I am so blessed I found them! Thank you to all the staff there!

We’ve been going to dental arts of Westwood for 6-7 years now and love how they’ve expanded to include orthodontics and periodontics. Having it all in one place finally provided me an answer to why my teeth and jaw are always in pain and with all drs able to work together on a treatment plan, I finally have answers. Not to mention how friendly the entire staff is. I actually enjoy going to see all of them!

Dr. Kennedy is one of the best dentists I have ever had! She was very patient and gentle with me. You can tell that she really cares about her patients. My teeth look awesome now too!
