Detailed Introduction

The Harvard dental Center (HDC) is the clinical arm of the Harvard School of Dental Medicine (HSDM), a prestigious institution with a rich history dating back to 1867. As the only Harvard school offering direct patient care, HDC provides a unique model that combines a state-of-the-art clinical environment with a rigorous academic program. This allows patients to benefit from the expertise of Harvard faculty while also contributing to the education of the next generation of dentists. HDC operates with two distinct care options: the Faculty Group Practice and the Teaching Practice. The Faculty Group Practice is a multi-specialty private practice where patients receive comprehensive care from licensed Harvard faculty dentists. This option provides a standard private practice experience with shorter appointment times. The Teaching Practice, on the other hand, is a clinic where high-quality treatment is provided by Harvard dental students and residents under the close guidance and supervision of faculty. This option is ideal for patients seeking excellent care at a significantly reduced cost, although appointments may be longer and require more visits. The center offers a full range of dental services, including general dentistry, specialized treatments such as implant dentistry, orthodontics, and restorative procedures, as well as endodontics and prosthodontics. The facility is committed to a holistic approach to patient care, emphasizing the connection between oral health and overall well-being. The Harvard Dental Center is a world-class institution located in Boston's Longwood Medical Area, dedicated to advancing dental medicine through patient care, education, and research.

I changed dentists from one in Boston to one in Cambridge. Was great to be able to walk. Then there was a fire in the Cambridge office. At first they told us it would be re-opened in a few months. Now they tell us not sure if/when it will be.

The Longwood office is dirty, crowded and incredibly inconvenient to get to. Almost an hour on the T for me, nowhere to park if I drive, and too far to walk. Very disappointing.

While the providers at this practice have largely been lovely and competent, the administrative and managerial processes are atrocious. Unclear messages, phone calls not returned, appointments rescheduled without consultation, non-sensical and off-topic e-mail replies....and that's just in the past three months! Avoid this place unless you have the patience of a saint.

The Harvard dental School Of Medicine is an excellent School of Medicine. The faculties are extremely caring, respecfull; extremely experienced, in their expertises. The student doctors are welll taught; they immitate, in a child like humility, their professors. Future Doctor Yen Dinh is very gentle in the care she provided. She incorporated in the care she provided all that is necessary for a completely finished care that can be provided to the patient. The administrators in the financial office are extremely helpfull.

I was guided by one administrator on the time to request help from Masshralth. The Harvard Dental school and Masshealth receive an howard for their generous help to me; may the Lord Jesus Christ help alway in our needs. I invite all who need dental care to visit the Harvard School of Dental Medicine; do not be afraid. Sincerely, Mr. Jean A. Bernavil

I was overall impressed by the Harvard dental Center and would highly recommend if need to go into Boston. I was referred there do to an infection from a root canal I received from another location on the North shore, I needed special equipment that Harvard dental center had to get into the canals that normal equipment can not see. I was there twice for 2 1/2 hrs each. My dentist was extremely gentle that I fell asleep in the chair both times.

She was right on top of what she was doing, any questions or help there is a dentist available. In the 5 hours she needed the dentist to come in to make sure she got all the canals (which my normal dentist missed) she got everything! I wish I never waited as a long as I did! I will definitely go back again.
