Our unique practice encompasses pediatric, orthodontic, and family dental care, as well as oral surgery, in a state-of-the-art facility.

Services
We love children and that sentiment guides our hand. Each of us recognizes the incomparable precious bond you have to your children. Therefore, we respect and value the trust you place in us in caring for them. While reactions and results can never be guaranteed, our sincere best efforts are absolutely assured.
As we maintain an awareness of the relationship of the mouth to overall health, we also focus our concern on each patient's physical and emotional comfort. A healthy smile enhanced by cosmetic techniques - crowns, veneers, bonding, whitening, contouring teeth and even the addition of orthodontic care - can improve self-esteem and self confidence.
A healthy confident smile that lights up the room has the ability to open up opportunities both socially and professionally. At Lindner Dental, it is our mission to help give our patients that confidence. We accomplish this by offering the various orthodontic treatment options that are tailored to individual patient needs.
Dr. Jason Lee is a skilled and compassionate Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon who enjoys working with patients of all ages. He strives to provide high-quality oral surgery services for his patients in the most comfortable way possible. Dr. Lee offers many different types of sedation, including both oral and IV sedation.

Kind staff however there is opportunity for improvement in organization and communication. There have been multiple errors made in my children's care because one person isn't talking to the other. I'm not sure if it's because of the size of the practice that communication has failed multiple times. The people are wonderful and I really like them but I think they need better systems in place.

Just received a text from Lindner asking me to leave a review and asking me if I felt protected during my appointment. I love the staff at Lindner and have been taking my boys there since they were very young but the clock is ticking loudly on how much longer I will be going there. To answer your question, I did not feel protected and as a matter of fact I felt the opposite.

The data is out on the masks so we can no longer pretend that they work or say that we didn't know. The studies are there that prove that breathing in your own carbon dioxide is dangerous, lists all the reasons to support this as well as the fact that they do little to protect people from viruses. The data is out that shows that when they test these masks for efficacy, they glue the edges of The masks down.

The fact that we're wearing masks that say right on the box that they do not protect against viruses, should be enough data and logical common sense to realize that we are continuing to use something that doesn't work. I recently found another dentist that is not requiring the masks and if Lindner doesn't drop them very soon, we unfortunately will have to switch practices.

Sad considering that we have given 12 loyal years to Lindner. Can we have some loyalty back please? Listen to the public. If you asked your patience if they want to wear masks, 99% of them would say no. I know for a fact that I am not the only patient who has had enough with this.

My daughter has gone here twice so far and she looks forward to her next appointment already. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I have yet to find a better place to take care of our teeth.

I have known of this office since I was a little kid but had been here in a number of years. I recently brought my severely autistic son there, seeking him a new dentist after our other office closing. He is NOT a good patient at all and they did AMAZING with him. Definitely a hardworking and friendly staff. I knew coming back, even after all these years, was a good choice.

Love the staff and the care they show. They took the time to explain the work I need done and the steps we should take to complete a good overall mouth plan! Love them and they are so good with kids too.

Dr. Trinidad and his assistant Brittany were fabulous with my adult daughter with special needs. They were kind, immensely patient, and super sweet. Everyone we met in the office was pleasant and professional. I would highly recommend this office to anyone and especially those who need a little extra help. They deserve more than 5 stars in my book!

Normally we have a great visits here, but today they didn't seem to be on their game. We had an 8AM appointment and our dental assistant Kathy was relatively nice but didn't get a warm fuzzy feeling from her today. The machine to take pictures of a person's mouth wasn't even turned on yet( you would think with knowing that it's going to be used it would be up and ready to go already) so we had to wait a bit while several people tried to figure out why it wasn't working( once again if it was turned on earlier this would have been solved already). My daughter who is 6 while patient, can only be patient for so long. I hope next time our experiance will be better.

Lindner Dental is truly the best! My three daughters and I have been patients for over 15 years. The orthodontic practice is excellent and I highly recommended to friends & family. Today, I needed to book several appointments after todays visit. Stacy, the pediatric department manager, is always kind, patient, knowledgeable and beyond helpful. An amazing staff! :

I brought my 2 years old son here for his first appointment and they did amazing with him! My son isn't the easiest to get in his mouth to brush his teeth but they did an awesome job! I highly recommend!

Always a positive experience here! My son struggles with anxiety and adhd so finding the right dentist for him has been tricky. I have been taking him to Lindner Dental for a few years now and I'm very pleased with the way their staff works with my child to get him through the appointment.

My daughter needs some work for her "sugar bugs" and Dr. Engler is fantastic! She LOVES going there and seeing him. Even though she knows that some of the dental work will be uncomfortable. She is relaxed and comfortable and as a parent - what else can you ask for?! Thank you a million times for being so awesome!

The Associates is conscientiously safe. Masks, temperature, hand cleaner; staff is gowned head to toe. They make multiple efforts to be sure I'm aware of and attending my appointment. Juli has attended to my teeth for 10 years and does an outstanding job, given what I present her with. Actually, I switched dentists in order to stay with her. Super knowledgeable, very clear in answering questions, and very pleasant to be with. I rewarded her for her years of service to me this week with needing only 45 minutes of cleaning compared with the usual 60-90 minutes.

This was our son's first dentist appointment. He is 19 months old, and has been crying at every pediatrician appointment. But the hygienist and doctor were so great with him here. They made him feel comfortable. They showed him everything they were going to do on his Pooh Bear first that he brought in. Everyone was so friendly and he got a sticker on his way out. He had a great first dentist appointment and we would highly recommend this place for your children too.

I've been going to Lindner Dental since i was very young. I'm very close with many of the employees there and since they added oral surgery, the practice has gotten even better! Alisa, Ari, Michele, and Dr. Lee are wonderful and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. They will keep you laughing, and ease all of your nerves. Highly recommend and i'm very happy that our paths crossed.

All good! My current assigned dental hygienist (seen about 4 times) has inspired me to take better care of my teeth. She is somewhat new to this field but she has such a positive attitude and takes interest in her clients. She shares what she observes, encourages me to focus on where I fall short. She is a great asset for your company. It used to be I always had a different hygienist ever time I visited. Having the same person, I think makes the entire process more personal and motivates me.

I went to my regular cleaning today and my dental hygienist (sorry forgot her name) was so nice and pleasant! My experiences have always been positive. The hygienists and dentists are very caring and compassionate, which is much appreciated! The front staff is also very friendly! I have been going here for 15+ years and love them! Thank you all for being great!:):)

Lindner Dental are very qualified, confident, welcoming and know how to treat a patient. They listen and are truly interested with your concerns. They have patience and compassion and really care. They go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and happy with everything they do. I've only had good experiences with them and will continue to go there. Highly recommend!

Wow! What a great place! I help out when my daughter and SIL can't because of work. Front staff, warm and welcoming! Assistants, really know how to keep kids relaxed! Dentist is FANTASTIC! She really knows how to work with kids! And instead of waiting until a cavity is full blown, she fills it early before it causes problems! So happy my grand kids are receiving such phenomenal dental care!

The family has good oral hygiene and listens to suggestions from the dental team. As a result the kids don't have nightmare mouths with horrendous cavities! And my daughter and SIL have had zero issues with billing! This place is great as long as you are not expecting your kid who has rotten teeth be treated for next to nothing after you neglected their oral health in the first place! I guess it also helps that my name isn't Karen!

Lindner Dental is the best place dentist office my family had ever experienced. It definitely does not deserve 2.5 stars in my opinion! Heidi is the absolute nicest adult dentist and Ashley is the best pediatric dentist. We are so thankful for both of them. All of the hygienists have been amazing as well. I would highly recommend them to anyone, especially those with particularly challenging children when it comes to dental care.

This dental office only wants your money and your dental insurance money. I was going as a patient for a little over a year. I am scared to death of the dentist and they take your blood pressure before EVERY visit. Now to go to the dentist and pass the blood pressure test I have to be on enough Valium to knock me out for a week. My medical doctor couldn't find any high blood pressure issues but white coat syndrome is my problem.

The last straw was when I was in for a cleaning the hygienist said you know I have seen your insurance pays for cleanings every 3 months, "let me see what I can do." I asked if I really needed them that often and her response was, "well if the insurance plays for it what do you care." Lovely$$$$$

Please be careful. At first this place was great. The office is very nice, the dentist was very nice. We kept having to pay extra money over and above the estimates and we always had to pay upfront. This was very odd. We also had to schedule an OR hospital dental visit. This was a terrible experience. Everything went wrong trying to deal with the lindner billing group trying to set this up. We paid our inflated bill and walked away. I am so glad we did this.

These people are a mill! My whole family went there. We have the best dental insurance and always paid our co-pays. One time we were slightly late paying and next thing we know, they "kicked" all of us, including 3 children out of the practice. It was awful. We had been going there for 15 years. This happened after one of us disclosed a disability- ASD. Awful, awful people.

Especially when one of my kids was in the in the middle of multi-year orthodontic treatments. Sick, sick people. Don't go here! It was too bad because the kids' dentists were wonderful and there was absolutely no reason for this treatment after 15 years.

We've been going to this practice for five years--first with my son and now with my daughter. The dentists and hygienists are pleasant, but it is very difficult to get an appointment at a convenient time. I am frustrated with having to pull my first grader out of school for office appointments because they only do morning appointments for "his age group." They offer Saturday appointments, but good luck getting one that isn't booked out a month in advance. I'm currently looking for a smaller practice that is more accommodating.

I saw Lesleyanne Splagounais in December, 2014, and had a cleaning in April, 2015. By the way, Lesleyanne is wearing the black and white striped dress. In six months, Tic Tacs and lifesavers, she explained, caused $28,000.00 in new dental costs. I urge you to go to her if you can afford this kind of care. This practice has become much too big and very secure in their reputation, around Bedford. I feel very sorry for the legacy the Lindner's have left their daughter, a new dental school graduate.

Well, I can say with 100% certainty that they know what they're doing. They explain intended procedures very well and give an appropriate amount of detail. However, the wait was long, and the doctor I saw (Doctor Tracy) was unbelievably rude. I certainly won't be returning, and it's solely because of her attitude. She needs to learn to stop talking down to people. --- I felt like I should edit this to let everyone know that actually, every other staff member I interacted with was actually rather polite. No issue with them. It was entirely with doctor Tracy.

Lindner Dental was recommended to our family and we are so glad we found Dr. Nina Casaverde! She is wonderful with children especially those who may have special needs. Our son needed dental work that required anesthesia at the Elliot One Day facility in Manchester. She was very kind, compassionate, and took time to explain and answer any questions we had. The staff were all excellent as well. I really can't say enough about the quality of care my son received!

Lindner Dental is great. Very welcoming environment, super friendly staff and talented providers and hygienists. (Shout out to Dr. Les!) My wife and I have been going here for years and after the baby is born and has some teeth, he or she will be going there as well.

I have been seeing Dr. Linder since I was a child and he is a wonderful dentist both pediatric and adult. His hygienists are professional and kind as well, my whole family has gone here forever. But due to the staff that works behind the desk and in accounting we will be going else where. EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED with the way I was treated and the complete disregard for wanting to help kids. KIDS!

I called and asked if I could pay my balance when I came in with my 2 kids for an appointment. It is a small balance and I was told by Stacy, Janet and Sue that my kids would not been seen until I paid them over the phone or dropped off payment. I explained that I would give them payment in cash when I came in for my kids appointment as I have a very busy work schedule and their response was "too bad for your kids" it is policy that you can't schedule an appointment until you pay.

Completely unwilling to work with anyone, do not care about anyone. Horrible human beings. Dr. Linder should really consider hiring a new staff of people before he loses more clients!

Awesome, awesome, awesome. We had a dental emergency on Christmas day and both Dr. Lindner's came to our rescue within two hours of calling on Christmas morning. I have never heard of any provider willing to do this. They could have sent us to the ER but went so far above and beyond. I'm not sure where else you are going to find Harvard trained dentists willing to come in on the holiday. Very welcoming, relaxing, and professional environment. My son was frightened but was quickly put at ease. We are so lucky. Thank you!

Really wanted to like them. But this place is just not for us. After over a year and a half of appointments, they have never been on time, and we are always the first appointment. They are supposed to be a kids dentist, yet the video game systems in their lobby are broken - in over a year and a half, they have yet to be fixed, one of four systems working is just unacceptable.

All I can say is I have experienced every facet of this practice; adult dentistry, adult orthodontics, pediatric dentistr\, and pediatric orthodontists. You won't find more competent dentist anywhere. The office staff is helpful and friendly. the hygenists are great, and the doctors are fabulous! It's a great practice.

Unfortunately had a similar experience as Lisa. My family and I have been going there for over a decade; this will not be the case soon. While some of the dentists and orthodontists were polite, the front desk was always unpleasant. At their best they were curt and uninterested, at their worst they were just plain nasty. There was also an inconsistency in their assessment from visit to visit.

There is a Yelp post where a user had a similar experience in regards to them claiming there are cavities that do not exist. They would tell me I have cavities and schedule me an appointment. I would cancel that appointment soon after and the next visit they would make no mention of any cavities. I'll take two stars off for this. Where I take another two stars off is because of the treatment I received similar to Lisa's.

I had recently graduated school and obtained a job with dental benefits. When I obtained my benefits I was no longer eligible under my mother's. I told them this and gave them my information. They said it was no problem and they would take care of it, they did not. Over the next few months they proceeded to bill my Mother's insurance who would continue to reject the claim.

After failing to file their claim and a few months had passed, they decided to just bill my Mother. She would call them and explain to them how I had my own insurance provider, they did not follow up for months. Now that unpaid bill is over a year old and my company has since changed providers. They are just saying its our problem, though inconveniently created by them.

We are currently working with the old provider to get this sorted out, it doesn't look good for us. I feel like I got scammed. In my opinion this place has gotten to big as resembles something of a chop-shop I do not recommend Lindner's.

Ok, I'm putting my review under the Associates, but this 100% encompasses Dr. Gary and Rochelle Lindner as well. I've been going to Dr. Lindner for 10 years now, and I just love them. They've moved from their old facility into a brand-new, modern, spotless building with video games and a kids' room--and oh, how I appreciate it since I have 4 younger siblings. Needless to say, I've spent more than my fair share here.

Both Dr. Gary and Rochelle are wonderful; they've remembered things about me that I don't even remember sharing, they know where I'm at school, what I'm studying, ask about my family.it's wonderful. The whole staff is pretty much as close to that family feeling as possible in a Doctor-patient relationship. Their cleanings are prompt and thorough, and they've used all the means in their power to make you comfortable during fillings.

They once gave me 3 Novocaine shots since I'm apparently sensitive and will now ask if I just want to start out with 3 instead of trial-and-error. The receptionists are all wondrous, the dental assistants friendly and the Lindners do perfect work. I'm still driving to see them though I'm in Mass, and they're more than worth the drive.
