Newton Dental Group

I'm a rather a big girl, I'm 6'1 with a large frame, tiny teeth and big gums, a complete mismatch. For most of my life I was made fun if and was known as the 'gummy girl'. I avoided social gatherings, parties and most of all, I avoided smiling, most people thought I was an angry person. My best friend insisted on visiting her dentist to see if there was a procedure that could fix my 'ugliness'. On my first visit to Newton Dental Group I left their office a complete different person. Dr. Shahriar performed a cosmetic gum lift on my gums and I opted for porcelain veneers that would match the structure of my mouth. Within 5 weeks I look like a complete different woman and most importantly, I feel like a complete new person. My smile is picture perfect, not only it's what I imagined it to be but it's even better. Dr. Shahriar gifted me with confidence, I got my femininity back and when I look in the mirror, I feel attractive. Dr. Shahriar is a miracle worker I'd forever be grateful to her. I would definitely recommend her to anybody that wants a superb dentist and a skillful veneers specialist.\r more

\r I mjust had my full mouth reconstruction and I cannot believe how amazing it feels and looks. Dr. Shahriar is an incredibly talented dentist whose expertise in veneers goes beyond. My new veneers look completely natural and feel great as if they are my own. All my appointments were on time, they accommodated my schedule, great staff with the most skilled dentist out there. I've being going to Newton Dental Group for years, I've always been happy with my cleanings, fillings and now, my veneers. I'd give Dr. Shahriar 10 stars if I could. If you're looking to improve the way you feel about your teeth or oral hygiene, this is the place to go, hands down.\r more

When you call them to schedule an appointment for a cleaning, ask for for the doctor, she does the best cleanings. I go in every 3 months, after my appointment my mouth feels the cleanest and healthiest. No fillings for me :) more

I've been a patient of Shirin Sharhiar's dds for about a decade now and I'm very satisfied with her services, she's very knowledgeable, caring and patient. I have not missed a cleaning for the past 9 years, the doctor helps me maintain my oral health without any major work required, except of a couple of fillings in the last 8 years, my clean diet also helps. I love Newton Dental Group's efficiency, you're in and out without any hassle. I'm very happy with this place.\r more

This is a great family practice with a knowledgeable and approachable dentist. I take my entire family to ndg for years, I usually make our appointments for Saturday morning so we can grab lunch at Bertuccis that is right across. My children have a good experience and want to go in without giving me any trouble. The doctor and stuff are nice and playful with both of my boys; knowing that they are going to get toys at the end, it makes them behave during their cleaning. Thanks to Dr. Shahriar's advice, my husband and I have become big on prevention, we have a disciplined dental regime, minimize sugar, keep our regular cleaning appointments, we have good oral health without having to have any major work. Can't do better than that.\r more

I can't say good enough things about Dr Shahriar's patience and expertise. Back in August I was challenged by my 15 year old son to play basketball, as a result, I broke my entire top front tooth. The next day I immediately opted for the best and most permanent option, a dental implant. I had the surgical part done with ZERO pain about 7 weeks ago, the healing time was quicker than expected, I took extra dosage of my trusting Wellness vitamins which allowed me to have the custom made tooth inserted last week, much earlier than expected. Thankfully, I had in my corner one of the best dentist in town! I've been going to the Newton Dental Group for years now. Dr Shahriar has the lightest hand on earth! The implant fits great and looks like a natural part of the rest of my teeth, not even my husband can tell the difference. The Newton Dental Group comes highly recommended. more

I have been going to Dr Shahriar for over 12 years now, and followed her from Boston to Newton. I trust her clinical judgement and appreciate her bedside manner. Also, her staff is friendly and capable. more

Until two weeks ago, I had never experienced how worrisome Bruxism could be, until I heard my brother in law gnashing his teeth every few minutes, which prompted me to learn more about why Bruxism occurs. I naturally turned to my most trusted dentist, Dr. Shirin Shahriar, who was kind enough to explain the symptoms, causes and treatment that my brother in law would require. Whenever my family or I have any dental problems, I straight away make it a point to consult Dr. Shirin Shahriar, who practices at The Newton Dental Group, based in Newton, MA and every time I have always had my expectations met. Armed with the knowledge given to me by Dr. Shahriar, I persuaded my brother in law to visit Dr. Shahriar. Bruxism she explained occurs when a person is dealing with anxiety or is overly stressed. It could also happen when somebody is suppressing anger or frustration. Other causes could emanate because the person happens to be an aggressive, competitive or hyperactive personality type or has abnormal alignment of upper and lower teeth (malocclusion), or perhaps other sleep related problems. Bruxism can occur in children too, due to pain from an earache or because of teething problems. Regardless of the cause, Bruxism should be treated or else it could lead to damaged teeth, facial pain, temporomandibular disorders or tension type of headaches. After I explained the symptoms, causes and treatments available to my brother in law, it motivated him to pay Dr. Shirin Shahriar a visit and is now one happy young man. more

I finally picked up the courage to admit that my teeth needed attention and now that I was financially in a better position, it was time for me to think of straightening out my teeth and whitening them too. I had kept putting this task off for quite awhile as it wasn’t one of my top priorities. I went through all the reviews on what I should look out for and what I should do, if I were to undergo treatment to have clear braces fitted. During my search I found that reference to the good work and expertise of Dr. Shirin Shahriar cropped up frequently and with very good review ratings. So I decided it is Newton Dental Group for me and time I paid a visit to Dr. Shirin Shahriar, whom I felt I almost knew, as I had read up so much about her. True to the reviews I was not disappointed. Using the complimentary dental consultation offered by the Newton Dental Group, I had Dr. Shirin Shahriar examine my teeth and advise me what would be the next steps in having clear braces put on. She explained the procedure so clearly that I found myself soon in her chair having my clear braces being fixed on my teeth. I have been two weeks into the program and so far, so good and I have no complaints. I am able to remove the trays and put them on again without any difficulty, unlike some reviews I read of those who had been elsewhere and needed to have their Invisalign treatment redone. I am really very happy to have found Dr. Shirin Shahriar, who practices at Newton Dental Group in Newton. more

While I was shopping downtown at Newton, I ran into my longtime friend Julia and I was totally taken aback when she flashed her beautiful teeth in an impacting smile. She told me that her dentist Dr. Shirin Shahriar who is an expert in Cosmetic Dentistry and who practices at Newton Dental Group in Newton had worked the magic on her gums by evening up the gum line which made everything look so much more in harmony and so much more pleasing. I dropped by Newton Dental Group to consult with Dr. Shirin Shahriar on how she could help make my smile be more aesthetic. It was kind of scary listening to Dr. Shirin explain that she would need to cut away at some of my gummy tissue to provide the cosmetic look I was asking her for. But with the gum lift procedure carried out on my teeth, she explained my teeth would look more straight, bright and white with a minimum of pink. For adults like me whose gums never completely recede after childhood, this technique can significantly help improve my smile. I plunged into it and today I can confidently smile and say “Thanks to Dr. Shahriar”, I need never again raise my hand to cover my teeth. more

As a young adult whenever I had a headache or tummy ache, I would just swallow a tablet and keep going. So when I experienced tooth ache for the first time, I took a pain killer and went about my tasks, till the day the pain killers no longer helped and I was driven to visit the good dentist at Newton Dental Group. Somehow visiting the dentist was never important to me until my unbearable toothache drove me to make a visit to get relief. Dr. Shahriar at Newton Dental Group explained to me how important Dental Care was. It was an eye opener just listening to the number of health problems that could arise just because I was afraid to visit my dentist regularly. For the first time, I realized why dental care was as important as taking care of the rest of me. Dr. Shahriar at Newton Dental Group took the time to explain to me that the mouth is the entrance to our gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, as we eat and drink with our mouth, it is important to take adequate care of our teeth, lips and gums, and keeping the mucus membranes healthy or else we were likely to contract Ulcers, chapped lips, gingivitis, halitosis, mouth sores, periodontal disease, stomatitis and my present problem – toothache. more
