Patient Reviews

"If you want to read a review, from someone who has avoided the dentist like the plague, and has dental implants, then read on. In an effort to be clear, I have been seeing Dr. Schmidt for about 6 months. My implant experience was not with him, but it soon will be. I lost my four front teeth in a car accident in 1994. The bone loss was significant and required multiple bone grafts. Dental implants were not what they are today. The implants were the newest 'experimental' implants. They failed after 15 yrs. That style of implant is not used anymore. I went through the entire process a second time in 2012-13 (not with Dr. Schmidt). I was so done with going to the dentist that I stayed away for years. It is not hard to conclude what happens to those who need dental work but don't go to the dentist...well that was me. For years. I knew, with certainty, that it was going to be terrible to see the dentist again. Well, a broken and infected tooth forced me to seek a dentist. I can't stress enough, please hear me, this Dentist will care for you with dignity and class. Dr. Schmidt is laser focused on making your future the best it can be, he has no interest in dwelling on the past. Dr. Schmidt is a remarkable person, with personal skills that extend beyond dentistry. Not only is he supremely qualified as a Doctor, he has also created a thoughtful considerate atmosphere and a place of healing. His people are wonderful, every one of them wants to help you have a better tomorrow. If your situation, or attitude, in anyway resembles mine, please, please find a way to shake free of that and go see Dr. Schmidt. Just go and see for yourself. If I knew then, what I know now, the only thing I'd change is coming to see him sooner. If Google allowed it, they'd get the 6th star from me. Just to be clear, my implants were done elsewhere. The experience was not terrible, it was, however, not ideal. Which is not a reflection on the institution as much as it was the circumstances and sheer volume of hours in the dentist chair. Uconn Dental school is where the work was done. They took great care of me. They extended themselves for me. They are not to "blame" for my poor disposition, that was purely circumstantial and primarily of my own doing. If you're reading this then you're considering if this is the right dentist for you. I won't tell you what to do. I will however report this, going to see Dr. Schmidt has been the best decision I could have made. He and his staff have completely shifted my view of going to the dentist. I have a long road ahead of me and I am LOOKING FORWARD to the journey, specifically because of this Dentist and his wonderful people. I take these google reviews very seriously.

If you think I can help with your dental scenario, call me and I'll try. That's the least I can do to pay it forward, for all those dental professionals that helped me along the way."
