Kappa Dental Group
Ghassan Khoury, DMD, MPH:
Practice Profile Page

I’ve been going to this practice for years now and I just can’t understand the bad reviews, especially those who say Dr. Khoury is rude or unhelpful.  He’s always taken time to chat to me, explain what’s going on with my teeth and the work he’s doing, and he has never ever suggested that I get expensive and unnecessary dental work.  The receptionist is always accommodating to my 9-5 schedule, and they stay open late a few times a week.  The practice even sends me a holiday card every year!  In this area, I’d never go anywhere else.

One of the cleanest dental offices i have been to in Boston (this is the 3rd). Maybe they don’t have digital cameras that can blow up my tonsils the size of a 42″ TV screen, but the dentists are top-notch, reasonably priced and caring. The hygienists are extremely thorough, and did I mention that everyone is extremely friendly? I’ve been going here for years and wouldn’t switch (unless someone else paid the bills). 🙂 Oh, by the way. If you’re gums bleed – that’s a sign that you DON’T KNOW HOW TO FLOSS!!!!!! holler!

I went to Kappa Dental because of the reviews here. I was pretty desperate because of a really bad experience somewhere else (read my review on Central Square Family Dental). My doctor is Dr. Khoury and my hygienist is Carrie. At Kappa they gave me the most complete diagnosis, they came out with the best budget possible and by all means it didn’t look like they were trying to get money out of my teeth. As it was a lot of money (2 root canals, several caries, wisdom teeth) I was considering doing it abroad, and they were very understanding and willing to help with that (prepare a diagnosis, give me the Xrays, etc.). They didn’t pretend that was the only place on Earth I could get my dental work done, and they understand that dental work is just too expensive in the US. Finally my insurance covered so I got it done at Kappa (except for the wisdom teeth, which I’ll still do abroad). It has been a year and no problems so far. All the people there are super nice and professional. They tell you was going on honestly (and kindly) so you know where you are standing. Carrie has been amazing cleaning my teeth very thoroughly and explaining what were my problems and what I need to do better, plus she is super kind. Dr. Khoury is just great, very professional and attentive. What can I say, from my experience I say he knows what he is doing and he cares about your teeth. Also they have all those fancy things that other people mention here (TVs, massaging chairs, nice decor), although that’s not important for me. I must also add that the exact diagnosis I got at Kappa I also got it from other doctor in DC and another in Mexico (the number of caries and root canals, and the need for gum surgery). So they know what they are doing, they don’t make up or underestimate problems.

Kappa Dental is by far the best provider I’ve been to! Everyone was very kind and I appreciated how patient the receptionist, Majka was with me as I was having some issues with my insurance. Dr. Khoury was very easy-going and explained to me step-by-step what he was doing, which calmed me down (I’m not usually a fan of dental work). I would highly recommend Kappa Dental!

I first went to Kappa dental because the bond came off of my chipped tooth. I changed providers and therefore my old dentist wasn’t covered anymore. They fit me in that day, and I had a fantastic experience. I saw Dr. Kazou my first time, and she very patiently and kindly described everything that she would do. She seemed to take a lot of time explaining this to me, working on the tooth to make sure it looked perfect, and making me feel at ease. I went back a week later for a cleaning. Again everyone was very friendly. The hygienist I had was extremely thorough in describing what she found in my mouth, what was good and bad, and did a great job cleaning. Dr. Khouri saw me that day, and while he seemed like he was busy, he spent the time needed checking my mouth, and then later adjusting the new bonded tooth a little as I said it needed some filing. Overall I have been highly impressed with their service and facilities!

I put off going to the dentist for something like 8 years – needless to say I needed to have some work done. I am one of those people who needs a handful of sedatives before even considering going to the dentist – i knew my insurance didn’t cover sedation dentistry, so I looked elsewhere and found Kappa, what drew me in were the flat screen TVs – but whats kept me going after now my 4th (Still terrified but I make it each time!) visit in 3 months is Dr. Khoury – he is so gentle, understanding and patient. His “chair side” manner is amazing and he does everything to make sure I don’t feel uncomfortable and continue to come back. Now I’m proud to say I only have 3 more cavities to fill and and I’m up to date! If it weren’t for Kappa I would have never have made it past the first appointment.

Came here after seeing how close this place was to my house– just down the street– and reading the reviews on Yelp. I was way overdue for a visit to the dentist. And I ended up thrilled by my experience here. Everyone was friendly and helpful in scheduling, giving me insurance info, and working with my schedule. I liked the idea of the TVs, but as others have pointed out, you can’t watch them when you’re reclining in the chair. Kind of makes them pointless. I grew up with a dentist who placed TVs on the ceiling with closed captioning. Kappa might want to think about a setup like that instead. Dr. Khoury took care of my fillings. He was fantastic, very personable, gentle, and he took care to explain everything he was doing every step of the way. He made me feel as comfortable as possible during a highly UNcomfortable process. And the fillings took less than an hour! Color me impressed.

I have a history of anxiety about the dentist, and this is the best dental office I have ever visited. Dr. Khoury is so kind and has incredible expertise that put me at ease when I visit. The dental hygienists are terrific as well! So far, I have had several cleanings, cavities filled, a crown put on, and a wisdom tooth pulled here and everything has been the BEST experience. I highly recommend this office–talented, compassionate, and very personal care. They even do very late afternoon and Saturday appointments, which is helpful if you work during the weekdays.
