I first contacted Dr. Pelletier via email, writing about my urgent need of dental treatment. His courteous response arrived within a few hours, my first appointment followed in a couple of days. In person, Dr. Pelletier turned out to be the most attentive, civilized, and caring doctor. He listened, he asked pointed questions, he explained all options and their financial implications, and he made sure that I understood them all.

I came to Dr. Pelletier with the temporary bridge over two implants that had been installed and reinstalled no less than 20 times, by the same surgeon who did the implants, as he tried to install a permanent bridge of his making. The permanent bridge, over the two bottom left implants, clearly did not fit. The top teeth were hanging over it, as cantilever beam, it was pushed inward and did not line up with the front teeth. It had fallen off twice, once a few hours after installation, in a restaurant; another time two days after installation.

In addition to the temp bridge over the implants, which had never been totally comfortable and, having worn off, became utterly uncomfortable, I had two more problematic teeth. Rather, the teeth became problematic while I was under the care of the jack-of-all-trades, who had missed the problems. After a detailed discussion, Dr. Pelletier suggested that we first take care of the two problematic teeth. However, to make my life more comfortable, Dr. Pelletier played his magic on the temporary bridge, making it much more comfortable and much less worn off. Moreover, as the work on two other teeth progressed, Dr. Pelletier kept checking on the bridge, cleaning under it, and making sure that the gums are not infected and the implants stay intact and ready for the permanent bridge. This sort of thing should tell you what kind of a caring and wonderful dentist Dr. Pelletier is. I was truly touched by such generosity and attention.

In due time, the two beautiful crowns were installed over two problematic teeth. They looked so fantastic, so like natural teeth; it is true pity nobody can see them, as they are placed over the back teeth. But the most amazing thing about those crowns was that, from the moment they were installed, they felt like my own teeth.

Finally the bridge arrived and was installed. Two beautifully looking back teeth that immediately felt like they had always been there!!! And, because Dr. Pelletier managed to make a two teeth bridge, rather than 3, THERE WERE SAVINGS OF CLOSE TO $2000, AS COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE!!!!! Have you ever heard any such story? I have not, nor did I think it possible.

Dr. Pelletier is a master of prosthetic dentistry. His treatment plans are precise and financially predictable.

I have referred Dr. Pelletier to my family and colleagues, who have also had extensive work done. We are all grateful and proud to have him as our dentist.

Badly in need of some restorative and implant treatment I learned about Dr. Pelletier from a professional colleague. He was easily available for consultation via email and phone and his website was aesthetically pleasing and educational. He was engaging and intelligent, but most of all collaborative, when I met him in his office. He explained my options in a manner that clearly demonstrated recognition of my autonomy and contained no hint of paternalism. Resource management was a priority and he described each option in detail in a clear written plan, with charges, time frames and expected outcomes. During treatment he explained each step in laymans language that helped me to feel I knew exactly what would be happening and reduced my anxiety level about the procedures. He referred me to an extremely professional oral surgeon colleague for implant fixtures placement preceding prosthodontic work. I was quite nervous about the process and the possibility of marked pain and had some fantasies about catastrophic damage. Dr. Pelletier actually met me at the oral surgeons office, gowned up and stood by as the oral surgery progressed. Of course there was in reality no pain, nor damage and my chagrin at being such a wimp was met with support and we had some good humored laughs together. Dr. Pelletiers office in Brookline is cozy, immaculate, and the staff are all pleasant and helpful. I learned that the office staff would even help out by going out to my car in the public parking lot and putting quarters in the meter if I was delayed. I call that, Above and beyond. As I have learned more about Dr. Pelletiers Harvard Dental and Medical School teaching background and experienced his cheerful and optimistic can do attitude, with a decidedly cultured French flavor, I have become even more grateful to the colleague who referred me to Dr Pelletier.

From a senior doctoral level psychologist

I would highly recommend Dr Pelletier to anyone who is looking for a complex crowns restoration work.

Then, I had read many highly impressive accolades to Dr. Pelletier's ability to listen, his attention to patients, and his skills. I had also seen his supplementary web site with beautiful examples of his work. I had also read his CV, describing highly impressive training, qualifications and experience both in France and in the USA. And now I know that it all is true and that Dr. Pelletier is all that his other patients said he had been and had done. And it now seems that I have known Dr. Pelletier for a very long time.

It is nice to feel so comfortable in a dental chair and to know that you will always receive the best of possible treatments. So, now I have come back to www.doctoroogle.com, to thank those patients of Dr. Pelletier who had written their recommendations before August 10, 2008; to thank Dr. Pelletier for doing such a wonderful job for me, and to take great pleasure in recommending Dr. Pelletier as, no doubt, one of the very top prosthodontists in the USA, a wonderfully caring doctor, a true artist and esthete, when it comes to the looks of his productions, and a very thorough dentist, a true perfectionist, who would spare no time and no effort to reach the desired results.

I first contacted Dr. Pelletier via email, writing about my urgent need of dental treatment. I had his first response within a few hours that day, and my first appointment the following week. Since then, he has always answered my emails the very same day and had written me on his own accord, to make sure that I was feeling all right after a difficult procedure. And he has always stayed his very pleasant, kind, and civil self with a great sense of humor, as an extra bonus for those of us who are not fond of dental chairs :-).

My urgent needs were as follows: a bridge over the two implants, which had been inserted at the Harvard Dental School in January and May, 2007, a crown over one of the molars, and either treatment or extraction with the following up implant for another molar. The temp bridge over the implants was installed by the same famed Harvard implantologist who had inserted the implants His 5-6 attempts to install the permanent bridge, between April and June 18, 2008 failed completely and totally. So, I returned the permanent bridge to him and requested a transfer to another dentist. Then, the corporate hierarchy had the run of the day - I was receiving absolutely no dental treatment, my dental health began deteriorating. On July 1, 2008 a top right molar broke, the tooth about which I had complained for over a year, hearing in response that it was OK, in the absence of any x-rays being taken. On August 4, 2008, a temporary crown, installed at HDC June 4, 2008 fell off another tooth. Additionally, the temp bridge over the implants, which had never been totally comfortable, worn off and became totally uncomfortable.

So, this is how I came to Dr. Pelletier -two broken molars on the right, a highly uncomfortable bridge over the implants on the left, all this happening while I was under the care of a famed implantologist, who decided to play a role of the Jack of all trades and was always in such a hurry that I had felt myself as if I were at a conveyor. What a tremendous relief it was to meet Dr. Pelletier - so attentive, so personable, such a good listener, so very pleasant, and, thankfully, so very unlike my previous always in hurry do-not-have-the-time dentist/implantologist from the Harvard Dental School. Dr. Pelletier explained my problems and we discussed all possible solutions. We worked out a plan that took into account my trip to Europe. Before I left in September, I had my temporary crowns installed on both molars and the temporary bridge over the implants reworked and adjusted so it became truly comfortable. I was provided with a travel teeth cementation kit, just in case, and off I went.

Upon my arrival from Europe, Dr. Pelletier installed the two permanent crowns on molars. The most amazing thing about those crowns was that they immediately felt like my own teeth. Then, how could they not feel so, if Dr. Pelletier had spent hours building up the teeth and curving my gums, just so the crowns sit perfectly? Since I had to wait with the installation of the permanent bridge over the implants, Dr. Pelletier made another appointment, to examine and adjust my temporary bridge once again., so that the gums do not get infected

And did I tell you that, whereas the Harvard Dental School specialist determined that one of my broken molars had to be replaced by an implant, Dr. Pelletier saved the tooth and crowned it?

I came to his office following an implant procedure that I felt was less than optimal: it was on a front tooth and I was dissatisfied with the appearance of the surrounding gum tissue. Dr. Pelletier, over the course of many meetings, carefully crafted temporaries that slowly achieved the look I desired.

Dr. Pelletier is very personable and supportive, and I very much enjoyed the time spent in his office. Typically, dental offices make me nervous, but there I felt very comfortable. Furthermore, he was always available by email -- and very quick to respond. He always kept me up to date, and often followed up to see how I was doing.

Halfway through the procedure, when I had an accident involving my teeth, I felt extremely lucky to have Dr. Pelletier on my side. He was there for me and worked quickly to alleviate the situation.

I could not be more happy with his work. He carefully worked with me during the entire process - from my orthodontic braces to the end result. I needed to have braces put in to make my prior implant viable and correct the gum line above my central incisor by moving the tooth down.

Although my prior dental office would not confirm the implant specs. Dr. Pelletier worked with the limited info he had and consulted various colleagues to identify the correct one- which ended up being made by a company no longer in business. He researched and tracked down the firm that acquired them, and worked with their reps to obtain the parts needed. He then created beautiful custom crowns.

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.

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.

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.
