Wonderful office with wonderful staff. They are so caring and provided a low stress experience. They constantly check in with their patients during the cleaning and were kind and welcoming. This is by far the friendliest and most patient centered practice.

I have been avidly avoiding the dentist for years and the more time that went by, the more nervous I got to go! I'm SO glad I came to first impression this last month - they were unbelievably kind and patient with me. I was amazed at how nice my teeth looked after the cleaning! I assumed the large brown stains on my teeth were there to stay but they're completely gone now - replaced by pearly white awesomeness. Gail, the receptionist, made me feel so welcome and at ease and was extremely transparent about costs and procedures. I went back today to get 2 cavities filled - it was a quick, painless process. Would highly recommend this team to anyone.read more

Dr. Merzon is friendly and efficient! I have been to the Cambridge and Arlington offices. The Arlington office is brand new and very clean. During COVID, the staff took care to ensure safe environment. So far I have gone in for routine checkups and also an emergency which he saw me in on the day that I called! I'd highly recommend his practiceread more

Very pleased with my first visit! Gayle detailed me about all the cost that my insurance covers so that there are no surprises later! Hygienist and Doctor Demitri did a great job too!!

Dr. Merzon is very knowledgeable, skillful, and caring. He was recommended by my former dentist when he retired. I'm really happy that I've ended up with another terrific dentist.

Luke Hues

03:05 17 May 21

I’ve been going to first impressions for several years now and have had relatively extensive and complex dental work done, with very satisfactory results. Dr. Merzon always takes the time to explain procedures and never does more work than is necessary. The equipment seems to be state of the art, and the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. I’m going to resist the cheesy first impressions pun here and just recommend you try them out.read more

Everyone were so nice, friendly and made sure I felt comfortable before starting the procedure. I got my deep cleaning done by Dr. Merzon and he was very good and gentle. Gail was superb and she answered all my questions and concerns happily. I highly recommend this place.

Lily Li

22:31 18 Apr 21

Recent new patient at First Impression Dental and I'm really glad I decided to go with them. Dr. Merzon is great at explaining what needs to be done and why, and I felt safe and comfortable during the actual procedures. Gail is warm and welcoming every time we interact & even went through the trouble of giving me a really detailed breakdown of insurance stuff when I asked. The other two staff I met during my appointments (Carol & Georgia) were also friendly and good about keeping me in the loop. Will definitely be staying with them for future checkups.read more

First Impression Dental provides excellent service. Dr. Merzon is very thorough and kind. He has the most up-to-date equipment. I was able to get two crowns applied in a single visit.

New to the area, needed to establish with a new dentist, and had an urgent dental issue. In terms of booking the appointment, getting paperwork done, taking x-rays, and overall communication, Gail was outstanding - friendly, and very efficient. In terms of dental care, Dr. Merzon was superb. He explained the treatment options, with pros and cons, took his time, and made sure my questions were answered. I never felt rushed, which sometimes happens in the medical/dental care setting. I highly recommend!read more

Dandy Delgado

02:34 09 Jan 21

This was my first time at First Impression and the first impression was excellent. Their attention to COVID safety was very good, and I had the pleasure of having Dr Merzon to myself for a check up AND a teeth cleaning ,since the dental hygienist was out with family problems. Dr Merzon was very informative, considerate, and made me feel very comfortable by explaining much of the work he was doing. The woman who runs the desk, Gail, was also well informed and very easy to work with. I strongly recommend First Impression Dental.read more

First Impression Dental is the best! Dr. Merzon is a pheromonal dentist and great all around person with a top notch staff behind him. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

Lily Xu

17:43 14 Dec 20

Lovely modern office, friendly and helpful staff, and experienced and professional care. They really care about patient needs and affordability — for example, they called and encouraged me to reschedule an appointment because they noticed that waiting a month would allow better insurance coverage and reduce my cost by nearly $200. Thanks to everyone there!read more

First Impressions Dental in Arlington is an exceptional dentist office. The staff are knowledgeable, compassionate and welcoming.

Just finished an appointment today, their new office is very nice and it's clear that they're following necessary COVID protocols to keep themselves and patients safe. It's clear that they don't try to recommend any necessary procedures and care for the health and wellbeing of their patients. Will stay with them as long as I can!read more

What a difference technology makes. especially in the right hands! Original dentist told me cracked front tooth could not be repaired. Could only do one of 2 required implants at a time and would take 2 months. . Walked out of my first appt this morning with front tooth repaired and both implants will be ready to put in within 2 days. Amazing - which I had found Dr. Merzon years ago. Front office (Gail) pleasant, helpful and efficient. Highly recommend.read more

I've never walked out of a dentist appointment & cleaning before thinking "wow, that was great!" but that's what happened yesterday! That was my first visit to First Impression and it was a fantastic experience from the moment I walked in the door. The receptionist, hygienist, and Dr Merzon were all wonderful and kind, and the center had excellent Covid safety protocols. I am actually looking forward to going back to the dentist!! :)read more

Have been going to First Impression Dental for a few years now and it is always an amazing experience. The new screening and sanitation procedures because of COVID worked extremely well and I felt very safe - would definitely recommend this practice to everyone looking for dental work.

Lisa Ehrenreich

20:14 10 Aug 20

Dr. Merzon and his staff are wonderfully thoughtful, attentive, and skilled. My husband and I both had great experiences getting cleanings and fillings this year, with barely any wait times. I’d been trying out other dentists in the area for a while, but when I came here, I never left. 100% would recommend!read more

Dorothy Ahn

15:42 07 Aug 20

Dr. Merzon and the staff at First Impression Dental are amazing. Dr. Merzon explains every single detail that you need to better understand what is going on with your teeth, and tells you exactly what he is going to do to address the problems. He responds immediately and helps you when you have emergency problems, even during the oddest times. Without his professionalism, I would have been quite miserable with all my teeth problems. Gail at the front desk has been helpful and generous in every way possible. She explained the insurance process to me during my first visit and helped me many times when I had insurance-related questions/issues. I was also very impressed by the way they are handling the situation with COVID-19: with a screening survey, temperature measurement, and strict distancing measures, you feel safe and protected during the whole visit, and equally importantly, that the staff are being protected.read more

Slawomir Mielewczyk

13:16 06 Aug 20

I had two fillings done on my recent visit to First Impression Dental. It was during the Covid-19 pandemic times. I was impressed with thorough approach to prevention of spreading the disease. One set of questions before the visit and another set just after arrival. Of course temperatures screening and separation from all other patients. Everyone wearing masks, including patients except of the time that you are sitting in the dentist's chair. The fillings were done very professionally and completely painless. First time in my life it was really completely painless! I can sincerely recommend Dr. Dmitry Merzon and his team for any dental work you might have.read more

James Fleming

19:12 27 Jul 20

It is rare that you find a dentist or physician who is compassionate, has excellent clinical skills as well as a careful and artistic eye. Dr. Merzon embodies all these qualities. When you add that his staff is just as compassionate, just as skilled and competent as well as friendly, you have a winning team. I am fortunate to be their patient and I would highly recommend this practice. I plan to be their patient for a very long time.read more

Barbara Wallraff

15:50 23 Jul 20

I'm new to the neighborhood, it was my first visit to First Impression--and it made a great first impression on me. Dr. Merzon seems knowledgeable and caring, and he has all the latest technology and strategies to keep us safe from covid-19.

Allison Moreland

17:52 07 Jul 20

I recently had work done and it was very thorough. Dr. Dmitry explained exactly what he was doing, made me understand what I was looking at at the x-rays, and put me at ease. He is very knowledgeable in his field. The staff was great, the place was very clean. I saw them cleaning after each visit - every surface, door knob, everything in the rooms. There wasn’t anybody in the waiting room because they have spaced the appointments far enough apart not to have people in close quarters. Everyone had masks on and there were plexiglass barriers to stay safe. He’s a wonderful dentist, and I trust him explicitly. Definitely give him a try if you haven’t already! And the dental assistants are awesome as well. Everyone was very positive and welcoming. It was a good, painless experience!read more

Dr. Merzon just completed my crown yesterday, the overall process was smooth, prep was explained step-by-step, and final cap application came out well.

Very good practice that is very personable, I recommend highly to anyone looking for a new (excellent) dental practice for most services.read more

Stephanie Seo

22:53 09 Mar 20

I’ve had great experiences here. I’m an easy patient so a lot of times dentists or doctors don’t spend that much time on me (which is fine, since I don't have any issues). Dr. Merzon is very thorough. Even though my teeth hasn’t changed since last visit, he will make sure to comment on details to let me know what he’s examining. He’s direct and down to earth, but never shames his patients. (I’ve been to practices where they shame patients for not flossing or brushing enough). Gail is the best receptionist there is. She is very kind, always smiling, very organized, always tries her best to meet patients’ needs, and always makes sure that patients get everything they need today. I’ve had different hygienists every time but they’ve all been nice.read more

Rod Holland

00:16 12 Feb 20

I love my dentist! Today he repaired a difficultly-placed cavity, quickly, efficiently, and without undue pain and discomfort. About as pleasant as a procedure involving drills and other such tools can be. And all this came with a lucid explanation of what he was doing and why he was doing it.

Henrietta Bennett

17:01 18 Jan 20

Very pleasant experience with this office. Just had one visit so far. Gail is possibly one of the nicest people I've ever interacted with, very helpful and communicative. Dr. Merzon was nice but also very direct, and practical which I find valuable in a dentist. The office is also very organized- I could fill out all my new patient forms on line beforehand to save time.read more

Charles McCabe

19:50 03 Jan 20

I needed immediate dental care and Dr. Merzon was able to see me that day. He explained everything as he was doing it and provide me with options going forward. I was very impressed with his professionalism and his manner. I would highly recommend his services.

Oren Weisberg

I am new to the practice. I find Dr. Merzon to be very friendly, down to earth and knowledgable. I had a cavity and he explained what was going on in a straightforward way.

I can't describe how great the staff here is. Dr. Merzon is an amazing and accomplished dentist who is great in communicating the patient's needs. Brianna has been taking care of my teeth and she's been doing an amazing job. Gail is an amazing person and great at what she does; she tirelessly helps me with my questions regarding charges, insurance, and procedures. Overall, yeah, please go there.read more

Vee Lewandowski

17:30 22 Oct 19

Really awesome. I’m always afraid of going to the dentist but everyone here is so friendly and kind and down-to-earth that it helps so much. I hadn’t been able to make it to a dentist for a few years, and as a result had a handful of cavities to get addressed. I made four appointments to deal with them in sections, and Dr Merzon was so kind and helpful. He’s very gentle and cares about patient comfort. His assistant Jasmine was very sweet as well, and both of them helped ease any worries or concerns I had. Dr Merzon was honest about what work needed to be done, and I’ve had experiences with dentists who do try to get you to have work done so they can make more, First Impression is absolutely not one of those places. They know what they’re doing and they communicate well. To top it all off the receptionist, Gail, is such a sweetheart. It’s so comforting to walk in and see her at the desk greeting everyone, and she’s just lovely. If you’re nervous about going to the dentist, I can’t recommend these folks enough. I’m still not excited for my dental appointments (who is, haha) but I definitely feel way more comfortable since I know I’m in good hands!read more

Today Dr. Merzon took great care of me while I had a teeth cleaning - I am pregnant and had some extra sensitivity that made the exam more challenging than usual. He and his staff were all kind and understanding, and he took extra care to make sure I was comfortable. I'd recommend for sure!

I am beyond impressed with the incredible experience I had today getting my teeth cleaned. It was my first time at First Impression Dental. Not only was the service excellent, but the attention to detail was also impressive. It’s been a long time since I felt this great about any business. I’m actually bummed that I have to wait 6 months to go back for my next cleaning! I never write reviews, but First Impression Dental definitely deserves all the kudos. Keep it up!!read more

As a patient for two years now, I have had nothing but great experiences with First Impression Dental. The doctor is kind, personable, and skillful; the ambiance is great; and I never felt (unlike in other dentist offices) that they were trying to push unneeded "extras" on me to pad the bill.

Karenna Maraj

23:52 29 May 19

Saw me on a Friday afternoon at 5pm as a first time client when my old dentist saw I had a cavity at a yearly cleaning but wouldn't do anything about it. Really nice & professional and definitely somewhere I'll go back to --- updated 9/12/2018 --- i've been going to first impressions since this initial appointment, and every time they're understanding, welcoming, and patient as i struggle very much with holding still during drilling/scraping work. i couldn't hope for a better dentistread more

Milena Damianova

23:29 26 Jul 18

Very happy with my decision to start going to Dr. Merzon after being with another dentist for 13 years. Dr. Merzon seems to have top notch technology (at least compared to my old dentist) and a very pleasant way about him. He is not the kind that will entertain you with jokes while our mouth is wide open so you can't even laugh, but he explains well before and during the procedures and helps prioritize dental work when budget is limited. Very satisfied.read more

Dr Merzon and his team are excellent, I certainly recommend him. It is very rare that you find a dentist who is skillful, caring and has a brilliant bedside manner, well Dr Merzon is one of those rare cases. His secretary, Gail, and his assistant, Sharmila, are equally good, they are professional, helpful and friendly. I have visited him three times now and I am completely happy with my treatment and care. Thank you Dr Merzon!read more

From the pleasant greeting at the check in to smiles and professional teeth cleaning, I was truly relaxed and out the door with a bag of dental goodies saying “I don’t mind going to this dental office” , way to go Dr. Merzon!

Lovely staff and service. Careful, attentive, and detail oriented. Will continue to see even though they are out of network.

I will never have to look for another dentist again. I’m ecstatic to have found a dentist that already feels like a family friend. Dr. Merzon, Grace and Chayanne were simultaneously professional and funny, warm and thorough. Do it, you won’t regret it!

Dr. Merzon is doing extensive work on my teeth following a root canal. He is very gentle, thorough and careful. I have very small teeth that are not easy to work on. He does a great job. His staff, from the office manager to the hygienists are helpful and sweet. I highly recommend this practice

What a wonderful experience. I'm super picky about my dentists. Every person in this office warm and friendly. No more nervousness about visiting a dentist!

An earlier review mentioned "friendly, welcoming, caring" -- I couldn't agree more! Best dentist I've been to. Highly recommended.

Very good impression. Got here two crowns and three fillings. Anesthesia was effective, manipulations - gentle. All the steps/approaches have been explained by dr. Merzon very well.

just had my third appointment and I am SO thankful I found this practice - they are the best! Dr. Merzon is extremely gentle and talks you through everything from start to finish - whether a specific procedure or the various options for treatment. He and his assistant, Menbere, are a great team - very professional, efficient and personable. As someone who has carried anxiety about dentistry for many years due to pain in the past, I can honestly say I can RELAX in the chair. I have had a filling done, got a referral for a root canal (a great referral, by the way, where everything was super smooth), and I am now having a crown. The environment is welcoming, positive and healing. If you are looking for a dentist, look no further - this is the place!read more

Very professional. Really makes you feel like you're getting taken care of. Got me in same day I was having really bad tooth problem. Even went out of way to find me a oral surgeon that day when we couldn't get ahold of the two near me. Super friendly and definitely be going back.

This was my first appointment. I felt welcome. Dr. Merzon answered all of my questions without conveying any sense of time pressure. I was really impressed by the newest technology and by the exceptional attention to cleanliness.

This was my first visit to First Impression. My long time dentist had just retired. I woke up one morning to find that a cap had fallen off and was still in my mouth. Dr. Merzon was able to see me a day after I contacted him. I found him to be smart, very well informed, up to date in the latest techniques, and skillful in their application. His whole practice seems to be using the latest computer techniques and the most modern equipment. I recommend him to anyone looking for a new dentist.read more
