Fantastic experience: Dandrea and Pantera Dentistry is off the charts. From the moment you are greeted by the receptionists to the time the doctor is done. I needed a semi-emergency Vist and they accommodate me promptly. From the moment I met the Dr she calmed all my nerves from a broken tooth ,she explained everything in a way i could understand. We were in the middle of looking for a dentist after purchasing a house in town. Everyone was professional, kind, and accommodating. After being a UPS man for 20yrs iv never met a team like this. Thank You all for such great service !

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our practice!
Fantastic experience: From the time I checked in at the front desk to the dental cleaning with Claudia to the exam with Dr. D’Andrea, I received professional, kind and superb service. Claudia was very thorough. She explained everything very well and even gave me some helpful dental hygiene tips. I had a filling put in by Dr. Aglio. Her assistant was Nurcan. Dr.Aglio did a wonderful job. I hardly felt anything and she made sure that my bite was perfect. She is also friendly, professional and kind. Nurcan was professional and has a calming manner. It’s just a really great dental practice. I recommend highly!
"Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review! We're delighted our team provided you with thorough, professional, and kind care. Your recommendation means so much to us!"
Fantastic experience: So glad that I returned to Connecticut three years ago and returned to this practice. Dr. Kevin and the dental hygienists, and the office staff are truly wonderful and caring. I had an exceptional dental hygienist today named Claudia. She is excellent and I can't believe that she wasn't my hygienist in the past. Claudia is very intelligent, knowledgeable and is very willing to teach and instruct about how to care for my teeth. I'm so glad that I didn't need an exam because it was just the two of us and I learned so much! She is so lovely and informative. Her energy and personality are calm, smooth and serene which helps a lot! Thank you. Gina Fiorentino Edwards Hamden

Fantastic experience: The doctors and staff are caring and a pleasure.

Thanks Robb!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely very friendly and liked Dr. PANTERA very much. Kasha is great and So is Alberto.
Thank you for your fantastic review Nancy!
Fantastic experience: Staff and dentists exceptional. They (and especially my hygienist Melissa) go the extra mile to attend to my needs and expectations always with a disarming smile. I am impressed that they thoroughly study patients' notes and are up to date on recurring concerns and developments. Will definitely continue to patronize the practice and recommend them.
Thank you very much!

Thank you so much for such a great review - so happy to have you as a part of the D'Andrea and Pantera dental family!
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at this dental office for 35+ years. This wonderful, family owned and run place is what, in my opinion, every health care business should be. There is a sense of genuine care and respect from the doctors and staff alike. The professionalism is wrapped in respect and openness. I recommend this dental office to any and all who have a need for dental care.
Paulette - thank you so much for such a thoughtful review. We are just as happy to serve you and your family!
Fantastic experience: As always ... professional and friendly! This visit was for a cleaning with Melissa! Gotta love her and her patience! Sad to hear Dr. D'Andrea is retiring, he is amazing, but I hear his son is great.
Thanks Julie!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ronald D’Andrea has been taking care of my teeth for over 15 years with the excellent level of professionalism and respect. His son, Kevin, is definitely carrying on with that legacy of professional care.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. We’re truly grateful for your trust over the past 15 years. Dr. Ronald D’Andrea has always taken great pride in providing exceptional care, and it means a lot to hear that Dr. Kevin is continuing that legacy. We appreciate your loyalty and look forward to continuing to care for your smile for many years to come.
Fantastic experience: Dr Brett Pantera is a knowledgeable, thoughtful and professional dentist. He is as gentle as he can be! And, I wouldn’t trade him for anyone else! Thank you Dr Brett! Melissa has taken care of my teeth for many years with excellent dental hygienist skills! She’s the best! Before I even sat in the chair, she asked if I had taken my prescription pre appointment antibiotics. I take them since I had knee replacement surgery. So thorough of her to make note of that. Without the antibiotics, I can get a blood infection which might cause me to have even more surgery! Greatest dental hygienist ever!
Thank you Linda!! Always our pleasure!
Fantastic experience: The staff, and the Doctors really care! I have been a patient / client for over 30 years. I love Melissa!! Melissa is the Best!

Fantastic experience: Everyone at this practice is both friendly, and excellent. Dr. Kevin D’Andrea made me especially comfortable during a dental crown procedure, I didn’t feel a thing!
Thank you so much Marisa - it means a lot to us that Dr. K made you feel comfortable during the procedure. We look forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: I was seen today as an emergency and Marie’s fit me into the schedule. Dr Pantersa and his assistant Kasha treated me with the utmost care .
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our practice, especially the "shout-outs" to Maria and Kasia!! We look forward to seeing you again!
Negative experience: Front desk staff is so rude. I can not emphasize this enough, they are awful to their patients. Plus, they have a revolving door of dentists. So from one year to the next you never know who you're going to see. I would highly recommend you go somewhere else.
Fantastic experience: First time being treated by Dr. Ritchie, she was great, so was her assistant Maddie. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much Craig - we truly appreciate your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Saw Claudia, as usual, and she’s just the best!! I will not let anyone else touch our teeth. She is gentle and thorough and makes getting your teeth cleaned actually enjoyable! Dr.Brett came and checked us and as usual he was awesome. We (and our teeth!) love you guys!
Thank you for taking the time to review our practice!
Fantastic experience: I went in very anxious, as this is a new practice to me...and I've always been anxious about dental visits... I left feeling like it was a spa day. My experience with Dr. Morgan Ritchie for my two fillings was wonderful and oddly relaxing - if you knew me, you would agree my feeling relaxed in that setting is odd- but I did, and I won't be anxious when I return for my next filling and cleaning. Thank you to a great team, Maggie with the assist and Garbiella making my teeth so smooth and silky :)
Thank you so much for your kind words Kristen! To be compared to a spa day is so nice! I will make sure that everyone hears about the "shout-outs"! We look forward to seeing you again.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at this office for over 20 years, and I truly can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Brett and the hygienist, Melissa. I’ve always been a little uneasy at the dentist, but they consistently make the experience as comfortable as possible.
Thank you for taking the time to review our practice! We're so happy we make your visits happy ones!
Fantastic experience: Another successful visit to the dentist! No matter which hygienist I have, they are all excellent. My teeth are one of my most valuable assets and I know they are in good hands.

Fantastic experience: What is left to say about a dentist that I travel from NC, 780 miles for. He is soooo kind and explains everything to you. He goes above and beyond for his patients and his care well 2nd to none!!! I will continue to travel to keep him as my dentist! At my age 6? Lol I’ve been to many but none like this. If you need a dentist it would be worth your while to go see Dr Kevin D’Andrea.

Fantastic experience: Efficient, gracious, on time, professional and compassionate. Sensitive to everyone. Great staff also. Wonderful accommodation for an emergency appointment.

“We love hearing that you had a great experience! Thank you for being such a wonderful patient — we look forward to seeing you again.”
Fantastic experience: I got more than a cleaning!! My family and I’ve been going here for years and I so appreciate the kindness and empathy expressed to me in regards to a sick family member. So my teeth look great, but I felt supported and seen and this is why continue to go and to refer people. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at this dental practice for many years. Dr. Pantera was my dentist when I was in my 20s, and now his son is my dentist as I’m in my 60s. Everyone is incredibly friendly, and the office is clean and welcoming, filled with great people. I have no intention of going anywhere else. Although I have lived in Hamden all my life, I now reside in Trumbull, yet I still make the trip to see them.
Thank you so much Laura!
Fantastic experience: The staff is great. The Drs and Hygienists are terrific and always make you feel important. I’ve been going there for a couple years and finally don’t hate going to the Dentist.

The office is always clean; the staff is skilled, pleasant and patient; and I never have to wait for my scheduled appointment to start.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Dr. Brett and Dr. Aglio highly enough. As someone with a genetic condition, finding a compassionate and knowledgeable dentist has always been a challenge. From the moment I walked into their office, I felt genuinely heard and cared for. Both doctors took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explained their diagnostic process, ensuring I was comfortable and informed every step of the way. The entire team exudes kindness and professionalism, going above and beyond to make me feel at ease. I have definitely found my lifetime dentist and feel incredibly grateful!!

Fantastic experience: The staff is very friendly and provides great follow up. Dr. Kevin is very thorough and has sincere concern for my teeth during my appointment and during the follow up. The dental assistant was also very thorough and has and professional!
Thank you Melba!
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Kevin D’Andrea, Kelli, Mary-Beth and the rest of the staff at this remarkable practice. As an instructor of public health and health science studies I am naturally interested in the quality of care and level of Covid safety of all of my providers. This practice is absolutely pristine. The staff are careful, friendly, highly competent and empathetic. Dr. Kevin is incredible. I’ve told him more than once that he is a perfect example of the kind of professionalism I hope my students will have as physicians, nurses, therapists, diagnostic imagers, social workers and healthcare administrators. I would not be publicly stating these things if I did not have absolute trust in this practice. This dental office is an absolute gem. Update: I want to thank everyone in this dental practice for the outstanding work they do. My family is thrilled to be patients and we make sure that we tell others about it in person and on social media. Update: I continue to give this dental practice my highest endorsement and use it as a stellar example of excellence in patient care when discussing quality care in my I health science studies courses. Update: I continue to love this dental practice. I was with Claudia today for a cleaning and , as with all the others who have taken care of me, I learned new ways of protecting my dental health. The staff here continue to be outstanding. The doctors are exceptional. It feels comfortable to be treated o matter the procedure. I continue to be impressed and will confidently recommend this practice to everyone.
Another great review from you Betsy! Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: The D’Andrea & Pantera Family dentists are wonderful! Always prompt and super nice. The office is clean and the front desk staff are always very friendly. Robin the hygienist is my go-to girl. She’s very gentle while being thorough.

Fantastic experience: This morning I was seen by Kris for my dental cleaning and a full set of x-rays. She was kind and thorough as always. Then I saw Dr. Brett Pantera to confirm that my teeth were in good health. Alberto adjusted my retainer for me as well. Glad to have such a great team to work with me.
Thank you Beth - its always a pleasure!
Fantastic experience: They came highly recommended to me by many people when I moved to the Hamden and I’ve been happily using them since 2020. Wonderful and knowledgeable dentists and dental hygienists. The staff is always friendly.
Thank you for taking the time to review our dental practice Rob, we look forward to your next visit!
Negative experience: Wow I just had a terrible interaction with the billing staff of this dentistry - have been a patient for over 15 years. They sent me a $6 bill and wanted payment. I called and suggested that they just wait until I come in next to bill me and not expect me to take time to call and pay over the phone such a tiny bill. I was just making a suggestion. The person on the phone kind of went nuts, interrupted me, and said they have hundreds of people with $6-8 bills and the insurance company is making them eat costs and so they have to bill people right away - basically yelling at me. Seriously considering moving to another dentist. Seems kind of crazy over there...not the kind of customer experience or professionalism I would expect from a medical office. Makes me seriously question other areas of their practice.
We apologize for your recent experience with our billing team. We truly value your 15 years as a patient, and we regret that this interaction called for a negative review. Our goal is to ensure transparency and fairness in billing. We uphold certain standards, procedures and protocols in every aspect of our practice. We are sorry that you did not agree with them. An owner of the practice will be reaching out to you shortly and we hope for future 5 star visits.
Fantastic experience: I had an appointment today to have a broken tooth repaired and Dr Kevin D’Andrea could not have been nicer and more professional. I have had a long time fear of Dentist but Dr Kevin painlessly did the repair.He was so gentle and kind . I would highly recommend him and his staff. Thank you
Thank you for the 5 star review and kind words Katie 0 we look forward to seeing you!
Fantastic experience: D'Andrea & Pantera is the best Dentist! The staff sincerely cares so very much for their patients and goes far and beyond to help in any way. All of the work they did on my teeth was done with pure perfection. I would never go anywhere else. Jennie Ader
Thank you for your kind words Jennie!
Fantastic experience: My friend who needed extensive work done on her teeth recommended Dr. Kevin, Mary Beth, and the rest of the team so highly in 2019 that I decided to check them out for one visit and have been with them ever since! Each staff person was so gentle and kind when I explained my anxiety from bad dental experiences growing up that I truly don't experience nervousness anymore when I need to go in! The vibes are great. The staff genuinely enjoy one another and take time to make sure you are feeling comfortable and safe with each task. I can't recommend D'Andrea & Pantera highly enough. 10/10 from someone who formerly feared dentists!
Thank you so much for such a wonderfull review Ellie - its our pleasure!
Fantastic experience: Just became a new patient and had a great experience. Robin was fantastic and made me feel welcome and comfortable and was non judgemental about the fact that I hadn’t been to a dentist in years. A nice way to get back into routine. Gentle, clean and overall great atmosphere
So happy you found us Jessica - we look forward to seeing you again!
