What Our Patients Say

Honest feedback from real Burlington families who've experienced personalized dental care at Protego.

★★★★★

I had the best dental experience at Protego Dental! We just moved to the area and my husband and I both had fantastic cleanings. Dr. Serena was professional, kind, and explained so much more than any dentist ever has to me! I immediately felt the warmth and family-focused nature of the practice.

She showed me specific areas to focus on when brushing and flossing at home and was extremely informative!

We also absolutely loved seeing the kids area and can't wait to bring our kid here for his future cleanings. I can't recommend Protego enough

Best dental experience I've had so far!! Dr. Serena was amazing, she was very kind and communicative through the whole appointment. I really appreciated how she involved me in the care by taking pictures of my teeth using a fancy camera. She was able to directly show me where my problem areas were and give me clear directions about how to continue caring for my teeth. Also, as someone without dental insurance, I was able to get their membership plan which was super convenient. The office itself was also gorgeous and the staff were great!

I visited Protego Dental for the first time as a new patient and immediately felt the warm, family-friendly atmosphere. Raj made check-in easy and helped me feel right at home. Dr. Serena spent an incredible amount of time with me - more thorough than any dentist I've seen - focusing on preventive care and educating me on what I can do at home to maintain my oral health. Alka, the dental assistant, was wonderful as well, and it was clear she and Dr. Serena work seamlessly together to keep patients comfortable. Highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a dental team that truly cares.
