Ask an implant patient at 606 Sumner Avenue how they ended up here and the answer tends to run the same course. A tooth was filled, then filled again, then crowned, then re-treated, until an ordinary checkup ended with the word extraction. Springfield Dental does a good deal of that work, and most of it starts from a tooth that has already had three or four chances.
The procedure itself is unhurried by design. Where the natural root used to sit, a titanium screw goes into the jaw; bone then knits onto it over a three-to-six-month stretch, and the crown is fitted only once that has happened. The waiting is not administrative delay; it is the part that makes the implant hold. Nothing about scheduling shortens it.
The decision in front of you is rarely implant or nothing. It is implant against bridge against partial denture. A bridge is quicker and cheaper up front, but it means cutting down the healthy teeth on either side of the gap to carry it. An implant leaves those alone and loads the jawbone directly, which is why it tends to last longer, cost more, and take a calendar year's patience, and why it only works where there is bone to anchor into. If the ridge has already thinned, grafting or a sinus lift comes first and adds months before the post is placed at all.
Dr. Saikiran Bahadur leads the clinical side and lists memberships with national implant dentistry and general dentistry academies. The rest of the treatment list is ordinary general practice done in the same building: root canals, crowns, veneers, extractions, dentures, clear aligners and children's dentistry. A household does not have to split routine care and surgical care between two offices.
Sumner Avenue is a residential run through Forest Park toward the X, which makes this office easy from the south side or the Longmeadow line and awkward if you work downtown and want a lunchtime slot. Weekday hours are nine to five with nothing on evenings or weekends, but same-day emergency appointments are offered and walk-ins are accepted, so a molar that cracks on a Tuesday morning is a phone call rather than a week of waiting. Ask for the treatment plan in writing at the consultation. Two implant quotes only compare when both spell out whether grafting, the abutment and the final crown sit inside the number, and the front desk is the place to confirm which insurance plans the practice currently participates in.

Dentist team was great as well as the receptionist team. Pleasant, professional, the entire team was great to work with. First root canal and it went very well.
Dr b did my root canal and did an amazing job. Best dentist Iβve ever been to. Iβve been to a few in the past few years alone and they all were either too expensive or hurt me or both but this one didnβt cause me any pain whatsoever so ever. I have mass health now so that helped a lot too Iβm sure but it was quick and painless procedure easier than having fillings done when I was a kid at Kool smiles before they close. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION. I was referred here by their sister company star dental and they all did fantastic. Let alone the staff being helpful and friendly even let me in early when they didnβt open till 9. I Will be returning and will no longer need a new dentist. Very pleased with there work I can say the only thing I didnβt appreciate was them hawking me to come in early since they had a cancellation and someone came after me and got called first. Whereβs the logic in that.
This place is horrible, instruments were out in the open my cleaning was horrible I wasnβt even laid down for the cleaning I was sitting the entire time until the doctor came in. Afterwards my teeth did not have that polished clean feeling. The place was dirty , the instruments were out in the open. They were supposed to call me back with an estimate for another procedure and they never did which is a blessing in disguise I will never go there again! Beware!
I went there for an infection which they gave me amoxicillin for. I took the whole script and still had severe tooth pain so I went back and instead of taking an x-ray they asked if I wanted my tooth pulled so of course I said yes and thought I would be all set. Nope I have a swollen cheek due to the infection being in my jaw which needed a stronger antibiotic and now I have to go back instead of just giving me the damn antibiotic. I swear if he tries to say its dry socket which this isn't even close thank God. Im sorry but this place really needs to treat patients accordingly and learn how to handle infections appropriately because now I have a worse infection when the day he pulled my tooth should have just gave me a stronger antibiotic.
I just had 2 root canals done by Dr. Sunit Jain and i couldnt be more pleased. He made sure I wasn't having any pain throughout the entire procedure and got it done in a timely manor. Highly recommend this place.
Everytime I go is a good experience I love it is beyond clean n OMG the staff they're so super friendly all the time n super professional they're really make u feel at home. The wait time is super short n the Doctor his very nice n friendly I absolutely recommend Forest Park dental for ur needs
Just had my first root canal here for a pre-molar tooth a couple of weeks ago. It was painless and took about 30 mins. Came in for the crown prep the following day in which they also put on a temporary crown until my permanent crown came. Just had the permanent crown cemented a few days ago and have experienced no pain or discomfort from it. Feels like I have a brand new tooth in place now.
