Mondovi Dental - Stamford

When Dr. T retired from Mondavi Dental, I was nervous as one would be by having to see the other dentist in this practice. I had been seeing Dr. T for many, many years and knew his great skill. But I can say, after Dr. Swain installed a crown for me, I am just as pleased with her skill and knowledge as I was with Dr. T. Dr. Swain is pleasant, skilled and just wonderful. As well, Cindy, the hygienist has many years of experience, has great knowledge about teeth and the front desk ladies are warm and a pleasure as well. This review comes from one who has worked in the dental field in a previous life so I feel I can spot a good practice and Mondavi will not disappoint.

Dr Swain and her team are wonderful. My x-rays revealed a cavity under a crown that connected to two other crowns all supporting a bridge. She was able to sever the connection between the problem crown and the rest. As a result she saved two crowns and the bridge. The procedure required great expertise and delicacy. I am very impressed with her work and she has a great chair-side manner. If you are in need of a dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Swain.

Mondovi Dental is owned by Smile Brands; Google them if you want lawsuit history. I met Dr. Swain at Mondovi Dental in Stamford as a new patient on 5/19/25 for a routine tooth cleaning. On 5/23/25 she removed my only crown on tooth #30, and extensively drilled that tooth, despite my telling her that I was worried because I needed a specialst for a root canal on that tooth in the past. Dr. Swain, despite my expressed concerns, and significant pain, proceeded on 6/12/25 to fit a new permanent crown on that tooth. The damage she caused to that tooth, #30 - and the molar adjacent to it, tooth #31- required me to need urgent oral surgery to remove both molars. The surgery cost $4,400 and that is just the beginning of the costs involved to fix this gross negligence. Tooth #31 was healthy and tooth #30 required a speacialist - not extensive drilling and a crown replacement. I had excellent oral health prior to meeting Dr. Swain and I have the evidene to prove it. Now, I lost 2 large adjacent molars (#30 & #31), chewing is nearly impossible and I have lasting numbness on the right side of my mouth. Dr. Swain chose to keep this work for herself, instead of referring me to an endodontist. I was a revenue source. I got seriousy hurt. Buyer Beware.

Dr. Clabaugh is the best! I have been seeing him for years and every appointment goes so smoothly. He is very professional and I highly recommend him for any dental needs. Amy did my cleaning at my most recent appointment and she was amazing. Painless and very entertaining experience. She even called the next morning to make sure I was feeling okay! I don't ever write reviews but this team deserves a well earned recognition for years of healthy teeth!

I've been going to Dr. T since he started at this practice many years ago. Naturally I was apprehensive as I had been using his retired predecessor since the 70's. But, Dr. Trentalancia proved to be just as skilled and wonderful. Can't imagine a better dentist. And if you want to feel as though your teeth have truly been cleaned, Jaleesa, the hygienist, is amazing. She knows a lot about dental health and takes extra care in her cleaning. The front desk is always warm and friendly. Give Mondovi Dental a try if you're looking for quality care. Jenny C.

I had to do the process twice in order to get the color I wanted. It was difficult due to the fact that I have 2 composites across my 2 front teeth. However in spite of that I am very pleased with the results.

What a disaster, used this dental office to make me a full set of upper dentures. After spending over $5000.00 they never fitted right, loose fitting and after 2 months broke in half. Of course they blamed me, sent the dentures to there lab for repairs. Then told me to have a lining done. All was done, three weeks later they broke again. Some Lab.I’m now having to go to another dental specialist for a complete new set. Had three dentist look at the original denture from Mondovi, all three said the same thing…poorly made, cheap materials and bad workmanship. The best is they are continually billing me for the repair work. So if you need filling go, for anything else be aware! I’m considering taking them to court, to get my money back, plus legal expenses. Total waste of time.
