About Care Dental Center
Care Dental Center provides dental care on Franklin Avenue in the Barry Square area of Hartford, Connecticut. 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.

My experience real good and good service
HORRIBLE!! UNPROFESSIONAL!!! NO EMPATHY!!
My daughter and I love coming here. Staff is very friendly and caring; especially those in particular CDA Letty and Dr Yoon. Thank you so much for your knowledge and care.
All the doctors are excellent at what they do, but the front-desk staff—especially Erica, who said she was the manager—provide terrible service. She takes advantage of elderly people in the way she speaks to them; I care for seniors and see how badly she talks to them, and she did the same with my mother. I am never going back to that place.
Wonderful experience! I came in as a same day urgent appt. I lost a filling then my tooth broke off at the gum. I didn't have pain then my insurance lapsed. About a month later insurance is reinstated my tooth starts hurting on a Friday night. By Sunday my jaw is swollen. Monday, the swelling was huge and traveling. I called Care Dental Ctr in Hartford and they were so accommodating and got me right in. After getting xrays and Dr. Patel examined me (great bedside manner) he wanted me to go to Hartford Hospital for i.v. antibiotics and to see their oral surgeon resident. I was blown away that it was this serious and that a Hospital had a Dental residency program. Dr. Patel was so reassuring and gave me a referral he wrote instructions on for the hospital. My daughter drove me to the hospital (1 mile up the road). We walked in, I gave the hospital the referral from Dr. Patel, I was given a hospital i.d. bracelet, and then it wasn't 5 minutes and I was called back. I was triaged, xrayed, prepped for oral surgery. I.v. was placed and toradol started for pain and clyndimycin was started for abx. In walks the general surgeon and she explained everything. I was so nervous! She numbed me and did an I&D. I didn't feel a thing except the first pinch of the shots to numb me. My daughter held my hand and rubbed my arm through the whole thing. She sent me home with oral abx and today (the very next day) I am doing well! Swelling had decreased by half and my pain is minimal to be relieved by advil or Tylenol. I can't recommend Dr. Patel and his staff enough at Care Dental Ctr. They truly care and they look out for their patients health, anxiety, and well being. I am 60 years old and we are from California. It's difficult to find healthcare/dentalcare in a new state especially trying to get established while experiencing an urgent problem. Don't hesitate to call them if you are looking for a new Dental office, you will not be disappointed. Evie
The staff are very polite and knowledgeable. I've been there many times and from what I can see the treat patients with lots of respect. I highly recommend Care Dental
This was my first appointment here. My toddler and I both had an appointment back to back. They were very accommodating and made my daughter comfortable right away. I had some work that needs to be done and they gave me an option that was never offered or mentioned to me at any other dentist. I can tell the people who work here care about what they do and enjoy their job. It really makes all the difference.
Dr. Yoon provided amazing care and was friendly during the entire encounter. I felt comfortable and like she really cared about what I was talking about. Definetly will return for my follow up appointment
Professional dental care health felt service. An excellent dental care advice provider. Thank you.
Very professional and very pleasant and friendly awesome team🙂and very compassionate ☺️
They will call you 10 times to confirm appointment even after that, they will ask you to call them again and again to confirm the appointment waste of time and very unprofessional.
