About Boylston St Dental Group
Boylston St Dental Group provides dental care on Boylston Street in the Chestnut Hill area of Newton, Massachusetts. At the core of a general dental practice is preventive and restorative care: checkups, professional cleanings, fillings, and screening for decay and gum disease before either becomes a bigger problem. It is the kind of appointment most people need on a routine schedule rather than only when something hurts.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.
Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.
Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.
Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.
Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

Incredibly kind staff and providers who are fantastic with children. We have had such a great experience with them!
Dr. Gollub really is the best!!! She somehow makes the whole experience fun and easy. My kiddos walk away feeling known and cared for by their dentist, like apts are just visits with an old friend.💗
My children had a great visit with Dr. Gollub and her team. Everyone was kind and friendly, which made my children feel comfortable.
Do not recommend for non-pediatric dentistry! I’ve been going to Boylston Street Dental since I was 12 (before they moved to Route 9), and the level of attentiveness and respect drastically diminished after I stopped seeing the pediatric side a few years ago. At my most recent cleaning, the hygienist was incredibly rude and dismissive of my pain. I was in tears, and she simply said it was my fault for not flossing every day. I tried a different dentist today, where they caught 3 cavities due to the natural deep grooves in my molars and the sealant I got when I was 13 having worn off. At no point did the care team at Boylston Street Dental indicate that this was a potential issue during my last visit. I am deeply upset at their negligence.
I couldn’t be more impressed by the pediatric group at Boylston Dental. My girls absolutely LOVE going to the dentist - the team there is so warm, they truly understand kids, and they go above and beyond to make everyone comfortable. Dr. Gollob is wonderful and I know that if anything comes up (for instance chipped front teeth!!), she will be quick to help us out. Things that really help the whole experience: tv’s on the ceilings, prizes at the end of the appointment, the no-cavity club, and the kindness of the techs and dentists.
When your 4 year old wakes up and the first she says “YAY it’s the dentist today”, I think that says it all when it comes to a review! We’ve been coming here for almost 2 years now and won’t go anywhere else! Dentists, hygienists and all staff are incredible and I cannot recommend them enough! My daughter gets the best oral care with modern facilities, top of the line equipment and all the added extras to make every visit memorable!
I recently took my 1 year old twins for their very first dental check up and I could not recommend Boylston Street Dental Group pediatric department enough! Our hygienist, Courtney and Dr. Gollab did an excellent job making the dentist visit so fun for the babies and very informative for us parents! They made us feel special with a new patient welcome board and even made the babies crowns! They left with new toothbrushes, tooth paste, stickers and rubber ducky prizes! They applied fluoride on the kids teeth and sang fun songs and even let us take photos so we would never forget our first dental visit! We give them a 10/10 and look forward to our next visit!
