Patient Review 1:
Dr. Pelletier saved my life and made me look fantastic) The public has to know how important it is to have a true prosthodontist expert when you need crowns and restorations and implants. All dentist say they can do them but watch out! I almost died from having this incorrectly done. Finally we found Dr. Pelletier, and over 7 months restored my mouth, my smile-perfectly and my health! He is so expert, so rare, caring and funny and a true perfectionist-which in restorative work is essential. I have beautiful teeth and a perfect bite. it was like a face lift because he restored the muscles in my face when he restored my bite . Check out the photos. A Harvard pediatric neurosurgeon recommended Dr. Pelletier after I had become critically ill from poorly done crowns. The scary part is I did not know! I saw a regular dentist to have a crown on a front tooth replaced. He recommended I do all my teeth. He did this incorrectly. I ended up in the hospital with a blood infection and absess. I saw another regular dentist. He redid the crowns and I almost died of a blood infection from the teeth decaying below the gumline! Another prosodontist said I had to have all my teeth pulled. Dr. Pelletier saved my life and my smile.
Treatment Length with Dr. Pelletier: 2 years.

Patient Review 2:
Dr. Pelletier redid an upper front crown (by another dentist) which was a poor color match, not very comfortable, and which had created significant gum inflammation. I consulted with two other dentists before selecting him, and I know it was a very challenging job. He achived great results: I consider his crown nearly undetectable even under close examination, the fit is much more comfortable, and the inflammation is gone.The other reviews are accurate: he is an experienced, talented and highly credentialed prosthodontist who is clearly one of Boston's best. However, he is also a very compassionate individual who went far above and beyond in spending an enormous amount of time and effort to get me the best possible results. He has my highest recommendation and I am truly grateful to him for his help.

Dr. Pelletier is the most talented, meticulous and caring doctor I have ever met. I highly recommend him. In fact, I went on a few consultations before starting my procedure with top dentists in the field and I ended up choosing Dr. Pelletier. I am glad I did, I am so happy with the results. I had a smile make over and I absolutely love it!! I am claustrophobic and so going to the dentist has always been an issue for me. But Dr. Pelletier made an excruciating experience almost pleasant. He is gentle and caring. He made me feel very comfortable. He always took the time to explain the process to me; I never felt rushed. He was accessible by e mail, which was wonderful. I have the highest regard for Dr. Pelletier and I will be forever thankful for the wonderful smile he gave me.
Treatment Length with Dr. Pelletier: 2 months.

Patient Review 4:
I have just completed eight months of prosthodontia with Dr. Lionel Pelletier. As complicated and difficult as this work can be (both physically and emotionally), Dr. Pelletier's expertise was so evident throughout the process that I never felt any pain or fear at all. He was consistently attentive, generous with his time, and always very kind. His office staff and assistants are observant and friendly. Most important, he is an astonishingly gifted clinician. My teeth look and feel wonderful - I recommend him without reservation.
Treatment Length with Dr. Pelletier: 9 months.

Patient Review 6:
Please read the following letter I wrote to Dr. Pelletier thanking him for six months of extensive dental work. I am writing to you to express my appreciation for my recent dental treatment. You treated me with respect and courtesy and I am very grateful to you and your staff for the care that you gave me during my many visits to the Brookline Dental Center since February. The entire BDC staff made me feel relaxed and helped me through my fear and trepidation of dentists. My dental anxieties, based on numerous unpleasant experiences at a young age, paralyzed me. However, it was clear to me after my initial visit with you, that I came to the right place. I was impressed with your knowledge, thoroughness, and attention to detail. Everyone in your office - the receptionist, the dental hygienists, the dental assistants all were extremely kind, considerate, and efficient. Finally, I'd like to compliment you on your BDC wesite. Even before I took my first trip to Brookline I had access to valuable information via the click of the mouse. In closing, after spending so many years without an attractive smile, it is indeed a pleasure to use those facial muscles again.Thank you for making this experience as pleasant as possible.
Treatment Length with Dr. Pelletier: six months.

Patient Review 7:
I have been trough a year and a half of hell with my complete dentures with lots of pain and soares and ill fitting work. Out of frustration one evening I went on the web and found Dr. Pelletier and called the next day and was in for my first appointment within a week. Well, Dr. Pelletier has completely changed my quality of life. He is the most lovely, caring and skilled doctor I have ever been to. I am finally out of pain from his meticulous work and I am planning to have future work done through him and his referrals.
Treatment Length with Dr. Pelletier: 3 months.

Patient Review 8:
At the age of 18 I had all my upper teeth removed. It changed my like completely for the negative. Through the years I had more dentures made than you can imagine, always hoping for a miracle. I was never happy and it caused me to lack self-esteem. At the age of 57, I found Dr. Pelletier. He did a careful evaluation of my teeth and gums and came up with some plans of action. As a result, I spent about 10 months at his office every week. He did work on my gums, made new dentures, repair bottom teeth, added a bridge and a partial (that clips on and NEVER moves). I also had four veneers done. We looked at implants that would require a surgeon because my gums were so poor. He didn't just send me, he went with me. I had two root canals by another dentist and he called while I was there to make sure I was okay. He is so gentle, kind and caring and patient. He actually made the visits enjoyable. Bottom line is I went on a cruise and actually had pictures taken I usually hide from the camera). I couldn't believe my smile. My teeth looked like they were my own. I will never leave him and I am forever grateful.

Patient Review 9:
Very very good prosthodontist in my opinion. My wife had bridgework done elsewhere that was causing problems for her. After months of having the bridge "adjusted", we went to Dr. Pelletier. He discovered the problem very quickly and fixed it. Truly a professional -- excellent care and gentle manner.

Patient Review 10:
Dr. Pelletier is the best dentist and most gentle and caring dentist I have ever seen. He is expert, and with his knowledge and experience he is a world above any other dentists. He is not only correctly diagnosed the current problems I was having but also how the previous dentist had done major mistakes that had subtley affected my speech.( I hope these are subtle) He then took a moment to talk about how hard it must have been to go through all that. He said he would talk to his collegues over the weekend and come up with a plan on Monday. He is caring, takes the time and has the expertise and is just great. I feel lucky to have found him. I cannot urge people enough to be careful and research and interview dentists. I wish I had found Dr. Pelletier earlier but I am glad I have found him now.

Patient Review 11:
I am extremely happy and pleased with the work Dr. Pelletier has provided for me. Five years prior, due to an accident, I had to have my two front teeth replaced with crowns. I was never very happy with the appearance and over time my gums began to turn gray around the crowns. As a new Boston resident, I was finally (emotionally) ready to do the replacement procedure. I interviewed severally (5 total) dentist in the area. Dr. Pelletier provided the best analysis of what needed to be done and I also felt he also had a sincere interest in doing a good job. Throughout the procedure he ensured my temporary crowns looked good and never rushed any of our appointments. Also the staff is wonderful and very friendly. After just one month my gums returned to a healthy state. Best of all I love the new crowns!! My friends and family say my teeth look very natural. Dr. Pelletier is a perfectionist and his work will give you something to smile about!

Patient Review 12:
Dr. Pelletier is the best there is! He is a highly skilled and a professional prosthodondist. I came to his office after years of neglect with a dentist who should have but didn't advise me of my need for a periodontist. Dr. Pelletier, together with a periodontist (Dr. Crohin) in the same office developed a step wise plan for first dealing with my gums, then an upper crown and finally, 4 bottom implants. They thoroughly discussed a range of options with me. They were very careful in determining if I had the bond density necessary to support the implants. The results are outstanding. Dr. Pelletier demonstrated his excellence many times during the long course of treatment. He took great care to ensure that the porcelain caps fit perfectly and would not compromise the implants. He always checked with me by phone or email to ensure that I was ok after a procedure. He even called me in for a special appointment when he decided that I needed more protection on the implants before the final steps. I grew up hating to go to the dentist. Now, I can honestly say that he changed my view completely. The office is attractive and convenient. The cost was reasonable. I highly recommend Dr. Pelletier without any reservations.

Patient Review 13:
Excellent dentist and prosthodontist!!! Dr. Pelletier performed--and he referred me to a periodontist who performed--the most significant dental work of my life. Here's the stuff he did for me: (1) replaced an old filling in one of my front teeth; (2) found an underlying problem which had produced pain and an odd feeling around one tooth for more than eight years and referred me to an endodontist for remediation of that problem; (3) watched over and worked with a bridge made by another dentist to try to make it work and be comfortable for me, and when the bridge failed (i.e., it loosened on its own, and then Dr. Pelletier easily removed it), he thoroughtly presented to and discussed with me the options or choices I had to replace the failed bridge. The results of all of the work I have had were excellent. Here's the smaller stuff that make this a great place to go for dental work: (1) all of the people in this practice are great, and the dentists in this practice who cover for Dr. Pelletier are like him--very nice-the best---dentists; (2) parking is on the street, but very easy; ( 3) the office space is beautiful and comfortable; and (4) he works on Saturdays and scheduling convenient appointments is possible.

Patient Review 14:
Probably the best dentist in Boston. A real perfectionist ! I have had both implants and veneers done. And boy do my teeth look beautiful !! Family and friends keep commenting on how good they look. Have never dealt with such a kind and gentle man. In fact everyone there is so friendly, and so flexible. Front desk works very smoothly and very patient with appointments selections. I never thought I could get through an implant procedure but this expert of a dentist made it so during the procedure I was never uncomfortable or without a smile. There pricing is fair and reasonable, but considering there work it was well worth the outcome. I will never need to choose another dentist again !!
