Short review: Best dentist and staff combination ever! Easy parking, access and nice waiting areas. Long review: Dropped in the Friday before NYE with major tooth pain, the fit me in, did exam, gave scripts for meds for infection and pain and I was their 3rd appointment of the New Year! Dr. Ashland called me the next morning to check on me herself. I am THE worst dental patient but she was patient and explained everything each step. The office and medical areas are clean but warm and they make great use of mobile/shared equipment. In less than 4 weeks I have had three appointments, never waited an unreasonable amount of time, and exact prices were given before any work was done. I am thrilled to have found a wonderful dentist and staff in my own home town. Regards,

By far the best dentist I have ever been to. Never have I had a dentist be so attentive to the individual needs of her patients. She calls me herself sometimes to reschedule and always has a bright and cheerful attitude. Her staff is so professional and have followed Dr. Ashland’s example of mailing sure every patient is treated with respect, and the utmost professionalism. The demonstrate their continuing education and interest in their careers every time I’m there. I’ve been seeing her for 6 years now and wouldn’t dream of switching.

I took my 3 year old son to the The Tooth Fixer (Dr. Ashland) for his first dental appointment. The appointment was a great experience. Dr. Ashland personally attended to us, was great with my son and set aside plenty of time to allow my child to become comfortable. The office is spotless, modern and state of the art. The staff was very helpful and made sure every thing was squared away with my insurance since I hadn’t been to Dr. Ashland before this appointment. I highly recommend this practice.

★★★★★

As a former dental professional, my standards are extremely high in regards to the dentist, dentistry, staff, cleanliness of the office and operatories . Dr. Ashland and her knowledgeable, professional and personable staff have exceeded my expectations; they have created an atmosphere of comfort and friendliness, you almost feel like you’re at home. My six year search for a gentle, caring and clean dental office has finally ended. “The Tooth Fixer” has a patient for life!!

Amazing dentist! Dr. Ashland does a  wonderful job! I had to leave my prior dentist after almost 10 years and I’m so glad I switched. She is super nice, friendly, knowledgeable, competent. I highly recommend her. The office is extremely clean and go above and beyond with the COVID precautions. All patients must wash their hands. The office staff are also friendly and nice. Don’t hesitate to call them!

Dr. Katerina Ashland and her office staff are fantastic. They are friendly and cheerful and help make the experience of going in for a checkup or more serious dental work that much easier. I myself do not do well when it comes to dentists/doctors… but Dr. Ashland is gentle and always has a smile on her face which calms my nerves and helps me relax. She talks you through each part of whichever procedure you’re having done and is very gentle when she’s working on you. The office itself is very clean and bright, full of plants, paintings, free coffee, and a nice lounge while you wait for your appointment. You’re given some cool sunglasses when you’re in the chair and there is even art on the ceiling to help you focus on something other than the task at hand. They’ve also got great taste in music so you’re hearing something other than the tools of the trade! I had recently moved back to the area and was in need of some extensive dental work I had been putting off. The high tech instant x-rays made it quick and easy for Dr. Ashland and her staff to come up with a treatment plan as well as explain and show me exactly what needed to be fixed. We found what fit my needs as well as my budget (since I don’t have dental insurance) and were able to get started that first day. Several visits later (THIS IS WHY YOU DON’T DRINK MOUNTAIN DEW IN COLLEGE!!! Save your kids!!!) and my teeth look and feel great. If you’re new to the area and/or aren’t happy with your current provider, I would highly recommend a visit to The Tooth Fixer in Vernon!

One of the best dentists I’ve seen! Everybody is so nice! I feel like I was treated by a family doctor 😀 The primary dentist, Dr. Ashland, did an excellent job diagnosing and fixing my tooth problems. She’s also very gentle and patient. My few words may not be sufficient to justify her quality. Here’s what I heard from the orthodontist (in another clinic 10 miles away) who removed my molar: Dr. Ashland is a V-E-R-Y good dentist. I highly recommend this place!

I absolutely hate going to the dentist — or at least I used to! Doctor Ashland and her staff, Carol and Danielle are fantastic. Danielle, who is the Patient Coordinator, is very professional and courteous. Carol, who is the Dental Assistant, is an absolute pleasure to talk to and very very kind. I had lot of questions and Carol had just as many answers. Lastly, Dr. Ashland is hands down the best dentist I have even been to. Her level of expertise, her gentle hands, her in-depth explanation, everything just everything was unlike any other. I have a follow-up appointment in a few weeks and I’m actually looking forward to it! I have recommended Dr. Ashland to several of my friends who hate going to the dentist. I recommend her to you as well.

Thought I had an serious complication so I contacted the emergency number. Met with me outside of office hours only to find out I was being a bit dramatic. Still did a very thorough job and was cheery as ever. One of the most delightful experiences at a dentists office Ive ever had. Highly recommend this location to all.

Everything the other reviewers say here is TRUE, so true. I just moved to CT last year (new job at UConn) and after 25+ years at a good (but kind of boring too) family dentist in Columbus OH, I was dreading the chore of finding a new (and good) dentist. Dr. Ashland’s office was my third trial office (and the other two were so bad… and also lined up procedures that I was pretty sure I really didn’t need) –and, well, third time is the charm (as they say). Everything about the office itself made me feel comfortable. GREAT communication skills (I’m essentially deaf and they didn’t blink an eye about this and worked hard to communicate well, and visually). Dr. Ashland and her assistant, Carol, interact with care and personable attention. Never thought I’d say this: but I look forward to my next dental appointment!!

★★★★★

Dr. Katerina Ashland is skilled, kind and professional with her patients and her staff. All of the hygienists seem to really enjoy what they do and perform well. The whole practice works as a team, always helping each other out. The receptionist is pleasant and always gives me a breakdown of costs before the work. I highly recommend!

Have been putting off going to the dentist for quite some time now, especially since I moved & it is always a tough time to find new doctors that are accepting new patients & your insurance. However, this was the best dentists appointment I have ever had. I was extremely nervous because I knew my teeth weren’t in the greatest shape due to me waiting to see a dentist for as long as I did but I am so thankful I gave The Tooth Fixer a chance !! Everyone was so nice & understanding, all of my questions were answered & they gave me a lot of recommendations. I look forward to my next appointment knowing I’m in great hands. Thanks again to everyone who I met today (2/2/18) who made me feel so comfortable. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who is in need of a dentist!!

The absolute best!! My son had a root canal done. Leaving aside no pain during or after. The doctor explained every step to my son in such a simple and comical way. The tooth shower explanation was his favorite lol. My son went in worried and left super happy. Will never go anywhere else.

My husband and I have been coming here for almost 4 years now. Each appointment has never been a disappointment! They make going to the dentist painless and easy! I always feel welcomed and it truly feels like I’ve known the staff all my life. I always leave feeling like I have a new set of beautiful teeth! We’re moving out of state and I wish I could take this office and staff with me! Thank you for the great service and kindness! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I have been going to Dr. Ashland since she first opened her doors. Dr Ashland and her staff are the real deal. Kind, caring and generally treat you like you are a part of their family. I then moved my kids from their specialized child dentist and brought them to Dr. Ashland as well. My kids absolutely adore her and actually look forward to their visits now. Unlike most dentists, Dr Ashland does all the work herself including cleanings. She is a perfectionist and takes the time to explain everything in great detail. She is A LOT more gentle than any other dentist I have had and I will not go anywhere else. If you are looking for a GREAT hometown dentist with a comfortable atmosphere and hometown hospitality for you and your family, You have got to try The Tooth Fixer. You will not only be extremely satisfied, but you will save money as well. Absolutely recommend this place for all ages.

Dr. Ashland and her staff are amazing! I have six kids and they all loved her, even the cranky toddler. She explains everything she does carefully, and even used a cute stuffed alligator to show proper tooth care to the younger ones (my 3 year old now wants to floss!). Roseanne and Carol are also wonderful. We moved here a couple of years ago, and the Tooth Fixer has been a great find.

★★★★★

The care Dr. Ashland showed by being upfront, honest and thorough throughout my appointment was incredible! She took the time to speak to me and really listen to any concerns I had about my teeth. This was my first medical appointment ever where the office staff showed me my total bill prior to my proceedure and went over the after insurance costs to be sure that what I would be charged was transparent. It is care like that which is really unique about this Dentist. I highly recommend her and her staff for a thorough cleaning and exam!

The Tooth Fixer, Dr. Katerina Ashland, is a highly skilled, very gentle dentist. She is so caring, will follow up after a procedure to see how you are doing. Dr. Ashland is personable, and puts you at ease. I have had several dental procedures here, all with excellent results. Dr. Ashland’s staff is friendly and professional. The office is decorated beautifully and very calming. The Tooth Fixer has very convenient hours for appointments. I am so pleased with my dental care, and highly recommend Dr. Katerina Ashland for all your dental needs.

I’ve been coming here for about 2 years and I’m so happy with the appointments I make here. I’m always taken on time and never need to wait to be seen. The cleanings are also thorough and everything is explained to me so I understand what I’m doing well or what I need to improve on for my teeth. I would recommend this practice!

I recently moved to Vernon CT and was very nervous to switch to a new dentist, especially after having my previous dentist for many years. Dr. Katerina Ashland and her staff however, made me feel so welcomed and comfortable throughout my whole visit. Dr. Ashland took the time to understand my allergy and dental history. She researched my allergy before I came in to make sure no products she used would cause me any discomfort. During and after my cleaning she answered my many questions, gave great detailed answers to help me better care for my teeth, and looked at my night guard & retainer to make sure everything still fit correctly. I really appreciated the attentiveness to detail in all aspects of my apportionment. I am extremely happy to be a new patient at The Tooth Fixer Family Dental Care.

If you live in the Vernon area, Dr. Katerina Ashland is absolutely worth your consideration as a dentist for your entire family. In my opinion, she has a very engaging, endearing and genuinely caring personality – over 2 separate visits she proved to be very gentle, conservative and up to date in her practice. She explained everything to me before starting treatment and answered all my questions. Being a fellow dental professional and needing some “fixing” I chose to go to her as a patient having had professional contact with her for about a year. She strives to be at the top of her game through consistent continuing education and training. The tour of her office – it was very clean with many modern technologies. Exercising great attention to patient safety she and her assistant were wonderfully attentive to me throughout each visit. I actually learned from her treatment methods and attention to patient comfort. I wish her the very best and expect only continued growth for her practice. I will continue to seek her professional care despite her distance from me and happily pay in full for her wonderful services.

Amazing Experience! Dr Katerina Ashland is a gentle, caring women yet assertive enough to get the job done. And might i add she has small (yet strong) hands that don’t require your mouth to open wider then its actually capable of. Lots of attention was paid to my general comfort along with detailed explanations (in terms I could understand) of what was going on with my situation. State of the art equipment mixed with a great staff top off this wonderful dental practice. I will be going back for many years to come.

Wow! We’ve lived in TX, IL and Connecticut, and Dr. Ashland and her staff are hands down the best dentist office we’ve had. She is so good with kids, and was excellent with my fearful toddler. He now looks forward to going to the dentist, and is brushing and flossing much better because he doesn’t want to disappoint them! Fantastic.
