Practice Profile Page

A++ Dentist Office! The entire visit was stress free. All of the staff is extremely kind and professional. If you have any hesitation and/or fear of going to the dentist-I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION. This was the 1st time I can honestly say I was relaxed while being at the dentist. Looking forward to my next appointment.

They are by far the nicest dental practice in the area. They also do amazing work. I used to fear the dentist so much so that I simply wouldn’t go but since becoming their patient, I am much better about going because they are so gentle and considerate of my needs. I highly recommend them. Thank you Lifetime Dental

I have been a Lifetime Dental patient for several years. Dr. Frank is very good, the staff are top notch. Naomi is very helpful and a pleasure to chat with. Lifetime is outside my network for insurance, so last year I decided to try two other local dentists in my network. They sucked!!! I had a filling crack, I went to one and they drilled it out and replaced the filling. I had significant discomfort and went back twice and still paid more out of pocket then I expected. So still in pain and no cost savings that I could see I went back to Dr Frank at Lifetime. He drilled out the filling that the other dentist put in. By the time the Novocaine wore off I had zero pain for the first time in months. Which is the result you would expect from a simple filling, simple for Dr Frank but apparently not so simple for other dentists. So my family and I are happily back at Lifetime enjoying the stellar service of the Lifetime Dental Team!

The saying “It’s Nice To Be Important But It’s More Important To Be Nice.” sounds cliché, but they are admirable goals and words to try to live by! However, Dr. Michitti and his entire staff not only exemplify this saying, but they make it look easy. When Dr. Schmidt retired, he reassured my husband and I that he had hand-picked his replacement with the most knowledgeable, skilled dentist because he knew he had “big shoes to fill” and he emphasized that the new doctor was not only reliable, motivated, hardworking, intelligent, and trustworthy, but also a devoted, kind, thoughtful family man. Dr. Schmidt anticipated the community may make comparisons and be slow to the idea of change, so he went with excellence in all categories, but someone humble enough to allow us to figure it out for ourselves! Well, I’m slow to write this review for a variety of excuses, but mostly because I have so much to say. I’m happy to say with total confidence that Dr. Schmidt was not even slightly exaggerating about Dr. Michitti. In fact, while we always wish happy retirement wishes to Dr. Schmidt and his family, he chose so well that we feel like Dr. Michitti has always been with us! We would trust Dr. Michitti, Dana, Naomi, Linda, and the entire staff with anything and we have (our family, friends, oral health, finances, etc.) because you have to trust your dental family. Your dental family is not just another doctor, they become like family and see you through all your challenges and interpersonal stressors (while quietly dealing with their own) in order to help all their patients with their health changes, financial challenges, and life transitions, including aging teeth. Unfortunately, like with most families, we don’t tell them often enough how much we appreciate them because we assume they know or we don’t want to embarrass them or ourselves, but since they continuously take on the hard tasks of delivering news that isn’t always good honesty about how much they are appreciated seems like a small price. In fact, I describe Dana at the front desk as knowing “everything about everything” with insurance and scheduling and dealing with the personalities behind the phone calls with such kindness, grace, charm, and professionalism, which is so rare! In fact, the entire dental family is excellent at delivering news that can be upsetting, sad, embarrassing, costly, or guilt-inducing with grace and professionalism, without any condescension, because every 6 to 12 months we are usually reminded of what we may have been neglecting or what habits caught up with us. They all make bad news better, and you never leave without smiling and laughing. They are beyond patient, and I just believe Dr. Michitti and his team are unmatched anywhere in New England and the country I’m sure, not just our local area! They are exceptional, and I know this because they have been doing all these things for us and our two sons and our close friend since I was age 18. I will be 56 soon, so they’ve used a lot of patience with me, including how long I’ve talked about writing a review with my procrastination issue. Well, what pushed me over the edge to finally get it done is the superior, caring dental care they’ve given our two sons. There are really no words, but I hope I’ve found a few words to convey our sincere gratitude. To summarize, I hope you’re someday lucky enough to experience the expert dental care from Dr. Michitti and his dental team that provides expert compassionate care, while offering honest advice and hard truths, as needed. In other words, you could never ask for better people to have in your family or any family! With Much Love and Sincere Gratitude and Appreciation, Corrine, Michael and Rich x,o,x…

I was lucky enough to find Lifetime Dental a little over a year ago.. I have been to so many dentists, its hard to remember.. NO ONE,, and I MEAN NO one dentist and TEAM compare to this group.. They are seriously THE BEST !! I have had a very hard time with water leaking down my throat for the past 40 years, from a bad experience with an EX.. This is the ONLY office that I have never had that trouble with… Not sure why, I just don’t.. I’m really not a sissy as I rarely feel pain, but feeling like you can’t breathe is NOT a fun experience.. THANK ya’ll to Lifetime Dental for each and every one of your there.. You are stuck with me now..

I have had many troubling dentist experiences in my younger years. This always kept me away from the dentist unless I was in emergent pain. A few months back I found myself in a situation where the tooth pain was unbearable and I had to see a dentist. I was referred to Lifetime dental by my wife. I called the emergency number due to the Covid pandemic. They responded almost immediately and they got me right in. The experience was great from the start. All of the staff was kind and the Dr made me feel comfortable instantly. Everything they did was explained in detail in a manner that I could understand. I am now working on fixing all my dental issues that I had been putting off because i hated going to the dentist. I feel comfortable enough to go back again and again. This is a huge step for me. The Dr worked out a Treatment plan and walked me through it step by step. I look forward to being able to smile the way I want soon. I cannot thank the staff at Lifetime Dental enough. Its nice to feel like a welcomed patient and not like a number. If you need dental work this is the place to go. They have earned a life long patient in me.

Lifetime Dental saved my face. I am a 67 year old head and neck cancer survivor and life time dental phobic. The keen eyes of Dr. Michitti and his Dental Assistant Naomi caught necrosis on my bone, a common condition after intensive radiation to the head area. He quickly referred me to a facial surgeon, contacted my radiologist, arranged for hyperbaric treatment, and I am on the road to recovery. The staff at Lifetime is unbelievable. The dentist is a sharp, caring, and very human professional whom I have nicknamed “feather fingers.” I have never known painless dentistry. Naomi cleans my teeth and soothes my nerves without mocking my unrealistic fears. This practice is modern, the staff beginning with the pleasant reception from Lisa, is professional and invested in state-of-the art dentistry. They have never lost the “old school” quality of patient respect and human connection. After almost losing my jaw, I have to say that I now look forward to the dentist and have a renewed energy for oral health. Thanks feather fingers, Naomi, and Lisa. Frank C. Sacco, Ph.D. Agawam, MA

When I first came to Lifetime Dental, I was pertrifed. I had had horrible experiences at other dentists before and thought all dentists were the same, but he came highly recommended from family and other reviews. After my first appointment, I knew that wasn’t true. Not only did Dr. Michetti make sure I was completely comfortable, but he took the time to talk to me, make sure I didn’t have any questions or experience any pain. After quite a few appointments getting my teeth back to healthy, I would never go anywhere else. The entire staff is fantastic, friendly, professional and go out of their way to make you comfortable.

I am beyond grateful for Dr. Michitti and his team at Lifetime Dental for allowing me to extern here, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. I was nervous going into my externship with the pandemic going on but the second I walked into Lifetime Dental all of my worries went out of the window and never came back! Dr. Michitti has taken every precaution one could think of in order to keep all of his patients and team members as safe as possible during this unprecedented time. Being new to the office I was very pleased and grateful for how Dr. Michitti, Linda, Naomi and Dana cared about my safety just as much as theirs and their patients. Patients wait comfortably in their vehicles until they receive a text message that it is their time to be seen for their appointment, this allows for less risk of exposure for everyone and keeps the capacity inside the building at a very minimal amount. The staff all wear N95 masks for the whole duration of the day and then during procedures safety glasses and face shields are added along with lab coats and gloves to best protect the patients and themselves. Once each patient is finished the procedure rooms are misted with a sanitizing solution to sanitize the air while the team members spray all surfaces down to disinfect everything. After speaking with my classmates about what their offices are doing to protect the staff and patients I quickly found out that Dr. Michitti is going above and beyond and taking serious measures to protect everyone while many other dentists in the surrounding areas are not. I highly recommend going to Lifetime Dental even during the Covid-19 pandemic, you will not be disappointed by the precautions, care and safety measures that the staff have ensured you will receive!
