Fantastic Team

This is a team of wonder women! Their kindness compassion and complete lack of judgment was a slice saving as the impeccable job that they did on my ex-partner's teeth. It was one of the worst situations they had seen and a very delicate situation they tended to with utmost care. Even fun! The relationship ended but my gratitude for them is eternal and hope more humans can be like them!

Personal Experience

I was referred to First Dental Associates by a family friend and have been a patient for more than 5 years now. The team at First Dental makes a visit to the dentist a pleasurable experience. Upon entering the office, I am greeted by Carol at the front desk, whom always wears a smile and asks how my family is doing, creating the kind of personal experience that is hard to find these days. The hygienists are always so friendly, professional, and thorough with cleanings. Dr. Sadeghi, also very kind and professional, has completed flawless dental work for me from replacing fillings to administering my Invisalign treatment. The office is impeccably clean and the equipment is all new. If you are looking for a dentist in the Reading area, I highly recommend First Dental Associates.

Years of Great Service!

I have been going here for years. Extremely professional, kind, empathetic, and always considerate. I've had 3 pain-free root canals...hard to believe. I had neglected my teeth for years because of a fear of dentists. (I had a WW2 Navy dentist as a kid....enough said). Dr Sadeghi and her staff always take the time to ensure you a pain-free experience. The bonus is her hands are very tiny ...you won't feel like you have 2 or 3 spoons in your mouth. The quality of her work is superb. I can assure you that you will be impressed...I always am!

Just Fantastic

I am very anxious going to the dentist even for just a cleaning. Doctor Sadeghi is very caring and gentle. She is very understanding of my apprehension. She performs all services at the pace I can handle. I can’t say enough about the team. They’re just fantastic. I have had the best care by not only the doctor but by every hygienist that has cleaned my teeth. I look forward to seeing Carol. I can’t believe how she remembers specifics about each patient.
