I have been a patient at Belmont Dental for over twenty years. Even though I now live twenty miles away, I still come here. Why? It’s a great dentistry with fantastic practitioners . It provides multiple areas of dental expertise that are tops.

Mary R.

I was a new patient to the practice who had lost a crown and needed a replacement. I was amazed to have an initial visit with Dr. Langton within just a few days and the crown replaced at a second visit just a few days later. The entire staff was friendly, courteous, professional, and helpful, and Dr. Langton both clearly explained his plan and took the time to answer any questions I had. The office has some evening and Saturday hours, a terrific help for working patients. It's also easy to set up appointments for a routine cleaning on line. All in all, an exceptional experience.

John P.

This is a well-run practice. Dr. Lakkis is very kind and gentle- and I'm an anxious patient! Makes the whole experience a little easier.

25+ year patient here. Great visit as always. Dr Lapidus is the best dentist I've ever had (and I'm 64). Lexi is an excellent and caring hygenist who helps put patients at ease.

I am so glad that I found Belmont Dental Group. My insurance changed and they are one of the only offices in the area that takes my new insurance. I made an appointment and immediately felt I was better taken care of than at my former dental practice. Now my whole family goes to see Dr. Lapidus.

I receive extraordinary care at Belmont Dental. Dr. Lapidus and Dr. Pourati are very dedicated to their patients and regularly demonstrate their expertise in their specialties. Their strong collaboration provides for a truly seamless patient experience. Their follow-up care is outstanding, making each patient a priority. I am extremely grateful to have worked with Sandy during my dental treatments. Her knowledge, skills, compassion, and ability to answer patient questions are excellent! She is welcoming, friendly, and eases my worries about any dental procedure. She is always positive and makes anyone with dental anxiety more comfortable. I am thankful for Sandy’s top-notch care!

Caitlin L.

It was a first to come over Belmont Dental Group for second opinion about necessary dental procedures for root canal surgery and I wish I could find it earlier. Dr. Yoon listened to my oral history and problem carefully and explained what options I have. I decided to take his evaluation because it makes sense for me. I appreciate his honesty and professional attitude! People working here are also kind and respectful so Highly recommend!
