Michael J Bane, DDS

Really like going to him. He’s great, gentle, spends ample amount of time with patients, and really cares about taking care of teeth. I recommend him to friends and family alike. One of the best dentists I’ve ever been to.

I was a patient of Dr. Bane’s for over 20 years. I only left him because I moved away from Boston. He was an excellent dentist, and I had complete trust and faith in him. He is kind and considerate and as pain-​free as a dentist could be. He kept my teeth in great shape for two decades.

Did not have a pleasant experience here.
First, after reading all the 5 star reviews, I called to make an appointment for a cleaning. The front desk woman was condescending in her manners, not telling me whether he had openings or not. She wanted me to tell her what type of insurance I had. After she found out that I had the best coverage, her attitude changes completely. Eager to book my cleaning the next day.
At the actual cleaning, it’s done by Dr. Bane himself. I didn’t feel like he gave me a cleaning at all. just poked around my mouth. I didn’t feel anything, not a scratch anywhere, didn’t feel like he got rid of any tartars. just polishing teeth. and took all the xrays there is in the world.
I recently went to see another dentist for cleaning and they took off all the stuff he missed. it was a thorough cleaning. And I had lots of backup due to his lack of cleaning or what people on here call «gentleness».
When i go get a cleaning, I want a cleaning. Not a gentle rub.
Def would not recommend to anyone.

Dr. Bane is fabulous!
I just had my first appointment and I walked out with a smile on my face! I’ve had a million fillings and every orthodontic device in the book — I am always nervous about new dentist and I am terrified of having bad work done due to past experiences. Dr. Bane is professional, thorough, and wise. He listened to my woes and he gave great advice about options for the future. I am so glad I went to him and will go back for all of my dental needs. I am confident I will have healthy teeth with Dr. Bane!

If only everyone could be so lucky as to have Dr Bane as their dentist.

I would like to emphasize how correct the reviews for Dr Bane have been so far. I’ve been to 3 different dentists in the last two years and was somewhat traumatized by these experiences. Dr Bane changed everything for me — I can’t remember the last time I had a teeth cleaning that didn’t require anesthetics (that’s how bad my teeth are). He reminds me a bit of Frankenstein in all the ways that you want your Dr to remind you of Frankenstein — he’s calm, even and doesn’t force you to make chit chat when he has his hands in your mouth.

Dr. Bane is the dentist to go to if you hate dentists. He’s gentle, very skilled, and has comforting and competent staff. i described him to my husband (who now goes to him as well) as the Mr. Rogers of dentists. :=)

After roughly ten years of avoiding the dentist, my wife asked me to pick her up from an appointment at Dr. Bane’s office. At that point I had real dental problems and was scared to see a dentist not only because I never liked going to the dentist but also because I was ashamed of the condition of my teeth. Dr. Bane was understanding and not at all judgmental. He convinced me to come see him and after much dental work and plenty of maintenance I am much better. Dr. Bane has the best chair-​side manner of any dentist I have ever met. I trust him and that is a huge relief. I have recommended him to dozens of people and recommend him to you.

I used to fear going to the dentist, because it always hurt like hell. Dr. Michael Bane was the first dentist who was able to give me painless tooth care. I’ve had several fillings from him, and never felt pain except for the quick sting if the initial local anesthetic. I’ve been going to him for over 10 years now, and I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. Highly recommended!

Dr Bane is a good dentist who has made me comfortable in the chair after nearly passing out with other dentists. Cleanings are fast and painless and he suggested methods for avoiding surgery that have worked out brilliantly. That’s an enormous plus for me. He’s not much of a talker and the décor is old, but is that what you are going to a dentist for? Dr Bane has wooed me back to 6 month visits after a long absence and I am the better for it.
