Allen Niukian, DMD

I was recommended to Dr. Niukian by a trusted friend — she did NOT steer me wrong.
Dr. Niukian is kind, gentle, smart — and perhaps most importantly he is understanding/​not judging and truly there to help. There is something very calming about his demeanor and his office in general that lets you know that ‘everything is going to be okay’ even when you need some crazy involved dental process. You will feel assured that he and his staff will handle it.
Only slight negative is the office is a little «old school» compared to other spots I have been, but I wouldn’t ever call it outdated — just not the most modern. They definitely are clean, friendly and have enough technology to ‘get it done’ without being over the top.
I was a patient of Dr. Niukian’s for a couple of years before I moved to San Francisco and Ann Arbor, but now that I’m back in the Boston area I’m happy that I can return to his care. I definitely recommend this dentist!

Going to Dr Niukian is like cheating! I have never experienced PAIN FREE dentistry in my entire life. I have been here how many times, and no matter what he is working on it has been pain free! So gentle and an AWESOME personality to boot! Very personable and takes time to answer every last question in plain English! This is how I wish all doc appointments could be. I cant recommend this Doc enough, though I hope he doesnt get too busy to fit me in.=}

The best dentist I’ve ever been too. He’s friendly, quick, gentle and takes the time to talk to you and explain everything.

To be honest, I can’t remember when I went to the dentist last. I think it may have been during George Bush’s administration. The 2^nd one, not the first one.
On a recommendation of a friend, I decided to go see this dentist as I heard nothing but good things about him.
Going in, I admit, I was a bit afraid, since I hadn’t been to any dentist in a REALLY long time. Its the kind of feeling that only gets worse the longer you spend away from any dentist, let alone any teeth cleaning. Why? Going to the dentist is freaking scary.
Terror aside, it was time to go see a dentist.
All I can say is that Allen Niukian is pretty fantastic. Not only did he give a great and thorough cleaning, he did it all himself. It was the first time where I was in a zen state while I was getting it done. Odd, yes, but it was extremely relaxing.
After it was all done, he told me what my next steps were and remained optimistic about what I needed to do. He was very friendly and was darn good at his job.
If you need to find a good dentist in the Cambridge/​Watertown area, come to Allen Niukian. He will make feel at ease and get the job done to ensure your dental health.

OK… I’m someone who actually LOVES going to the Dentist. I was in the market for a new one and my co-​worker suggested Dr. Niukian. I honestly can’t say enough. Not only is he INCREDIBLY thorough, but he is beyond gentle and not once did I feel uneasy about having my mouth exposed, flaws and all! He is funny, easy going, while being so knowledged in his field and takes great pains (no pun intended) to make sure you don’t walk out without him making sure your mouth and check-​up is 100%!!
Dr. Niukian told me he hates reading reviews because it makes him uncomfortable, but I think I might need to encourage him to read this!
10 STARS in my book! Yay!

I don’t like going to the dentist, who does? Dr. Niukian is an exception. His office is great. The dentist does all of the work, there is no dental assistant to do the cleaning. He is friendly and not only remembers my name, but even remembers what we’ve talked about in the past (books, life, etc.). All of the equipment seems modern and I have even had a cavity filled here. He did a great job, I got a white filling that was cured with ultraviolet light or something, you can’t even tell it is there. He also doesn’t poke your mouth unnecessarily.
