The staff was very professional and welcoming. And most importantly, the hygienist did a great job cleaning my teeth painlessly. I am grateful that a friend recommended them to me,

Best dentist office ever. They are very nice and do a great job and take their time with cleanings, X-rays, and suggest how many times you should get cleanings each year based on your own mouth. In addition, they had parking which is a huge plus! I suggest anyone who is looking for a dentist that is 5 stars each dentist and hygienist are extremely careful their time and each one is extremely qualified
I had an excellent experience at South Boston Dental Group. Jackie, the dental hygienist was incredibly professional, gentle, and thorough, honestly the best cleaning experience I’ve ever had. She was very careful and detailed, and I felt absolutely no discomfort during the cleaning. The entire staff was also wonderful, from the front desk to the X-ray technician. Everyone was kind, patient, and very attentive. The service here is truly outstanding. Highly recommend!
The first thing that surprises me is the speedy and sharp response to everything. Of course, Dr. Hinenoya with great care. Very nice and great person ! Whenever I go, I feel happy. And everywhere is as clean as Japan. It is a dental clinic that you can go to with peace of mind and trust.
South Boston Dental Group is truly amazing — I actually look forward to my dentist appointments now! Everyone is helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. You can tell the doctors and hygienists truly care about their patients and office experience. It’s easy to schedule appointments and there’s readily available street parking and public transit access.
