Porcelain veneers are used to correct misaligned, broken and discolored teeth by placing a natural layer of ceramic over your prepared teeth. The standard of dentistry has become the utilization of white composite resin material. This material matches the natural tooth color and is used to restore decayed or fractured teeth.
Invisalign takes a modern approach to straightening teeth with removable, clear, and completely comfortable aligners customized to gradually straighten your teeth in a shorter period of time. Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners have no metal bands or wires to irritate your mouth. Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment.

Great professionals and service, as always. I had an issue with a filling done by another dentist at a different clinic and Seaport Dental was prompt to find an opening to have me seen, the issue was fixed right then. This is the place to go for safe and effective dental services. Totally worth my 25 mile drive.

I've been a patient for years and have always had a great experience so I brought my little guy in for his first cleaning today and I could not have been more impressed with Hailey and staff! My son had a great experience and was bragging about how brave he was! Thanks again for a pleasant experience! Every parent needs this win.

Such a fun friendly office. As someone with dental anxiety I have never felt more relaxed. My favorite part is who educating everyone was. I feel like I learned so much today that empowered me to better care of my teeth. Lastly, unbeatable efficiency. From booking the appointment, to the initial consultation and even rebooking for a deeper cleaning it was so easy, efficient and painless.

Just had my invisalign consultation here and was happy other how it went! There's many dentists and orthodontists to chose from but my fiance recommended Seaport Dental! Dr Rooney was very honest and upfront about costs and what to expect from invisalign, and seemed flexible with options especially since I'm trying to have it done before my wedding.
Each staff member I spoke with was very friendly and answered all of my questions with no hesitation. It's only a 10 min walk from my appt too which is great. The office is clean with a cute modern waiting room.

The best dental experience, consistently time over time. They have a clean, modern office and upgraded tools that make check-ups a breeze and everyone you interact with is friendly and puts you at ease. Easy check-in/check-out process, quick but thorough cleanings with well experienced hygienists and dentists who are efficient and careful while being warm and open to answering any questions you have, nice tech that allows you to see alongside the staff what is happening and everything is explained.
I moved to the South for a period of time before returning up to Boston and my dentist down there would ALWAYS remark on the amazing dental work (a few fillings) that Seaport Dental had provided. Is it weird to love a dental practice? Because I kind of do.

This is my second time going to Seaport Dental. It is incredibly clean and everyone there is super helpful! I went in for a quick chip tooth and we were able to resolve the problem within minutes. I am super thankful for the professionalism and the cleanliness and timeliness of the appointment making and staff once you arrive. I did not wait more than 2 minutes before being taken back! I felt completely comfortable in the office with their COVID precautions. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a new dentist!

Great Experience in the beautiful new office! I had some tooth pain and called the office. They were very kind, informative (parking situation can be a little funny), and empathetic. I got an appointment immediately. I could not have if not for the extra hard work from the staff (thanks Jenna, and Michelle) squeezing me in. I have switched dentists offices permanently now and I have first cleaning on Thursday and I can't wait. Added bonus, the office is breathtaking compared to other dentists offices. Plants and open spaces and large windows and new accented colors give a soft welcoming feel.

My dentist recently retired and I needed a new dentist. My sister recommended Seaport Dental because she had a great experience and I could not have been more pleased. Dr. Rooney is so friendly and honest. For example, I had my back tooth pulled years ago and other dentists have suggested an implant. Dr. Rooney examined and explained that she didn't want to do unnecessary, expensive work if it isn't needed. Also, my hygienist, Casey, is really friendly and gentle. I highly recommend!

I have been extremely pleased with my experience at Seaport. The office is sparkling clean, staff is kind and professional, and the doctors are very knowledgeable and take their time with you. I love their early morning hours (can get my cleaning on my way to the office) and that they validate parking in the lot across the street. Recently I had a toothache and they were able to squeeze me in same-day which was greatly appreciated! Highly recommend!

There are some businesses out there that should be banned from operating for good. This is a very simple example of that. This place is unprofessional, rude front desk, and a talk-talk do nothing approach from some of the doctors. Dr. Rooney is the one who helped me with an implant a couple of years ago. It's a front one. It cost $7,000 - just for the record.
The metal piece is showing from gum recession. Looks terrible. My general dentist said this should never happen and that there was a mistake made by the doctor who did the crown. I called Dr. Rooney, she spoke for hours and said she will get back to me and she never did. During the same conversation, however, she tried to blame another doctor in her office. This is the level of people who manage this place. Do yourself a favor and stay away.

Seaport Dental is clean and the staff is friendly and welcoming. I consulted Dr. Rooney for orthodontics to see if I needed Invisalign. Her bedside manner was amazing and she was super honest with me. She said that I would be better off seeing an orthodontist for braces and referred me out. The consult I had was completely free and even after she learned she couldn't help me, she spent several minutes explaining to me what was going on with my teeth. Honesty is a difficult trait to find in the field of dentistry and I appreciated Dr. Rooney very much. I highly recommend Seaport Dental if you are looking for a warm, friendly and honest dentist with a great sense of humor as an added bonus.

This office has VERY VERY SHADY BILLING PRACTICE. I left this office a while ago. I never wrote any reviews here but I have to write this review to save people from this dishonest money shark dental office. DO NOT TRUST 5 star reviews most of them are either simple fillings/cleaning. Or perhaps Starbucks gift certificate crap they give out to a new patients to write good reviews.
Not sure if they still have it but there was a binder filled with happy patients reviews printouts in the waiting area. NO reputable doctors' office will have such thing in their office cuz reputation speak by itself. You can sort the reviews by lowest ratings and read what their victims are saying. They are mostly having issues with the BILLINGS.
With huge fake smile and warm welcome of the office staff, I was a happy patient until the finance manager tried to bill me ($3,000+) with the treatments that are absolutely under my insurance coverage plus late fees using fake collecting company to scare me off. It was such a stupid move cuz I had a very good insurance policy that covers most treatments.
I just told her to print out my treatment record and send it to me. When I contacted the insurance company, it turned out that they didn't even request the insurance company to pay anything besides cleaning and x-ray. They were trying make me pay cash out of my pocket by lying that the insurance company denied this and that. They were probably contacting the insurance company after receiving cash from me.
I seriously wonder what would be listed in their system for such cash transactions if they succeeded their scam. They might even have hidden cash transaction account for that you never know. If they did, I hope IRA can track it down. It didn't end there. I even found out later on that I had series of unnecessary works done when I visited different dentist for the cleaning. Obviously, it was too late at that point to get my natural teeth back cuz my teeth were already crowned. Their primary focus is to coming up with unnecessary bogus treatment plan so they can milk every single penny out of their patients.

I can't say enough good things about this practice. Lovely staff, modern, impeccably clean (something my last dental experience was not.) and on time. I was in/out for a filling in 30 minutes. They accept MetLife dental and are very good about knowing what you will/won't owe and billing you only after insurance pays. Thumbs up!

Today was my first time here. I had an Invisalign consultation with Dr. Elizabeth Rooney. She was very cheerful and polite. Also, unlike my other Invisalign dentist who told me he could fix my teeth in 18 months, Dr. Rooney was honest and straight-forward about what she can and cannot accomplish with Invisalign. After looking carefully at my bite, she ultimately decided Invisalign was not a good route for me, and referred me to several orthodontists. I think it's great we have dentist like Dr. Rooney who doesn't just want to take your money. Boston needs more honest dentist like her!

I really liked their service while I was a patient there. They said, I had 5 cavities (allegedly they all were multiple surface cavities - more expensive) and gave me an estimate of close to 2K to fill them up with the more expensive (white) material. Later I had to change to a different clinic due to the fact that I changed insurance (.and seaport didn't accept it) and after they did x-rays they only found one cavity that was worth directing some attention to and the remaining cavities, were close to non existent and only needed to be observed.
They clearly were trying to up the bill and rip me off and taking advantage of me not being able to double check/inspect whats going on in my mouth and verify without having to go and get a second opinion (having a stressful full-time job doesn't permit a lot of time off). Although I enjoyed going there and think the staff does a good service.
I just don't like being ripped off for something that simply wasn't really there. For anyone considering going there, please take these reviews with a grain of salt: Seaport Dental's reviews anybody giving them a "great review" with a Starbucks" gift certificate. At least that was the case, when I last went there.

The reviews about Seaport Dental seem mixed. I was surprised, after my first cleaning that so many people had had bad experiences. Rest-assured, I read every single review here (even the hidden ones!) and, as a result, decided to put the place to the test when I had another appointment scheduled for a crown and a filling. I questioned my bill (after it had been thoroughly explained to me in the previous appointment), I requested XRays and records, I expressed doubts about the treatment plan, and I asked a lot of questions about my insurance, and what was covered.
In short, I acted a little bit like a "B, " albeit a relatively polite one, interested in exploring the bounds of what I could do to challenge the office show me that everything was above-board. They gave me copies of my records without question (in fact, I almost forgot about it before they handed me an envelope with the information I had requested the previous day!), they made me multiple copies of the itemized bill, and were happy to take as much time as I needed explaining it.
The dentist discussed treatment with me in extreme detail, and gave me options for different approaches. They also put up with me constantly adjusting the volume and angle of the TV right above the chair (always nice when you have an hour and a half of drilling to get through!), and gave me a double-dose of Novocaine, although that's something I would have requested, regardless!
In short, 1 filling and 1 crown came to $760 after insurance. Yes, teeth are expensive. Yes, the state of dental insurance in this country sucks. Yes, I would absolutely make sure that this place is "in network" for your insurance plan before you go (I heard the receptionist explaining that they were not in a potential patient's insurance network over the phone while I was in the office, as well, so you can probably call and ask if you're unsure). But, if you have the opportunity to go to Seaport, I would highly recommend it!
One reviewer mentioned that they like to push cosmetic procedures. There was a little bit of that when I first came in (they asked if I was interested), and, after I told them I wasn't, I never heard about it again. I'd rather have that sort of situation than not know whitening and straightening options exist at all, but I just didn't find them to be "pushy" with the cosmetics during my two visits.

I am confused by some of the recent bad reviews here. I've been a patient for over 2 years and I've never had any issues with billing, or being told that unnecessary work needs to be done. Granted, I have good dental health, and get cleanings as I should, regularly. The office is clean, Dr.'s Rooney and Greenberg are great and the entire staff is nice.
They have lunch time appts and appts after 5 pm, which is perfect for someone who works in the Seaport, like myself. I highly recommend Seaport Dental! PS-I've never received anything from them in return for writing a positive review. (Another reviewer stated that they gave Starbucks gift cards for positive reviews-FALSE!)

Love this place. Everyone is very nice and the office is very clean. The hygienist was very good, efficient and quick. She made sure to explain everything she was doing and showed me all of the x-rays and pictures. Dr. Greenberg was also very good, he answered all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable. I had one small possible cavity, but they advised me to just watch it and see if it gets worse over time. They also play great music in the office! I loved the friendly, relaxed atmosphere. My only gripe is the very loud, weird door bell.

Short version: The dental practice is good and that's what I'm looking for at the end of the day. Everyone is really friendly so kudos for that. They can drop the ball sometimes on the admin stuff which so far hasn't been a HUGE inconvenience to me, but I fear for the day that something will happen that will annoy the crap out of me.
Long version: I came here for an Invisalign special because I found it on Groupon and they are walking distance from my office, but I ended up switching dentists entirely. The facilities are clean and they are easy to book which is really important to me. The only thing that can be a little annoying is that admin drops the ball which can be a headache.
Throughout my time coming here, there have been 3 instances my appointment got messed up when I called to reschedule. I have always called well in advance as they require 48 hr notice or else $50 charge. The good thing is that they owned up to their error and I never got charged $50 but then the time I had rescheduled for would be booked so I'd need to find a new time.
Another time is I switched insurance carriers but left my card at home so I paid up front for cleaning. It took nearly 4 months to get reimbursed. Who can say for sure, but I think the delay was on their end because my insurance carrier was super easy to deal with and sent me all the documentation to let me know that they had paid my dentist when I called to ask them 2 months after my procedure.
It took me about 2 months just to get in touch with the person responsible for billing. "She's not here but we'll tell her to call you back" and then you wait forever and end up calling back weeks later. When I finally got in touch with her, she said that she'll process it, apologize for the delay, but then I think she forgot because I had to call back a month later to say I didn't see it come through. then it appeared within a week or so. It wasn't a big bill so I didn't mind footing it, but it's just one of those things that you want to get taken care of quickly.

I went to Seaport Dental once after not going to the dentist for about a year. I made the mistake of mentioning that because after the x-rays they told me that I needed a lot of work done. I knew something fishy was happening when my dentist told me that he had no idea how much the work would cost because "the girls up front handle all of that." I remember wondering what dentist wouldn't at least have an idea.
Sure enough I got the call a few hours later that nearly $700 would be required out of pocket. I did not get the work done. Six months later when I got an appointment with a dentist who I had used for years before and trusted, I was told that I did not require any work at all and just needed to be better about going in for regular cleanings. Sure the office is pretty and everyone is nice there, but if you want to give them your money unnecessarily, be my guest.
I don't write many reviews and use yelp more as an information guide and when I noticed the high rating for Seaport Dental, I decided my story needed to be told. I hope someone finds this helpful and doesn't give away money they don't need to.

Front desk person and doctor get 0 stars. Hygienist gets 5 stars. For cleaning, they are great. Stay away from this practice if you need any work to be done, including a simple filling. Very deceitful billing practices. I went for my 6-month cleaning 6-months ago and Dr. advised to take care of my one potentially developing cavity, even though they have been watching it for a year and nothing has changed (I learned that for the first time by the way). Dr. recommended to schedule a short appointment because my Delta Premier insurance resets allotted balance at end of the year.
I figured great let them take care of it. They schedule a new appointment. After few minutes procedure (no local anesthesia because it was too small of a potential cavity), I'm out of over $200 + deductible because my insurance does not cover a filling that this practice uses on top and side of the same tooth (I kid you not-- this is how this was explained to me by the front desk lady). Had it been one side tooth filling, it would have been covered. Turns out they knew about it not being covered as the front desk lady gave me a giant receipt with a smiley face as soon as the filling was done. No one explained to me that this will cost me neither during scheduling appointment when they advised to get one nor before procedure.

I went here for a year in 2011, and every time I went there was some sort of mixup with their billing. They overbilled me, then denied it, then admitted it, but delayed reimbursing me. My boyfriend used them as well, and he also experienced incorrect billing with every service. They're really nice people, but the billing was so weird that I stopped going.

I was torn about writing a review for Seaport Dental, because I still have mixed feelings. I had some work done there in the spring and summer of 2012. I will start off by saying that the office and staff are top of the line. I felt extremely comfortable and Dr. Rooney was one of the best dentists I've ever seen. The office seemed to have the latest in dental technology, gadgets I've never experienced before.
Plenty of parking across the street and whatnot. However, a financial issue has left a sour taste in my mouth and is preventing me from returning there in the future. Upfront, I was provided with a detailed list of out-of-pocket expenses for the procedures I was going to have done. A month or two after the final procedure, I received a bill for $500+ in the mail from Seaport Dental for what my insurance did not cover, and the difference ended up being due to a specialty dentist performing work on me for one of my procedures.
This dentist is apparently not officially part of the Seaport Dental staff and is only there once a week or so. Apparently he charges a higher rate, and thus I ended up having to pay for it. without being informed of this up front in the payment plan. The office manager wasn't the most responsive or receptive during our email interactions regarding the matter, and the entire situation has really turned me off. I would recommend Seaport Dental to anyone because it's a great place but please, review your bills carefully!
