Cheshire Dental Associates

I have held off on this review for a year and half in hopes that CDA and Dr. Marindino would fix the problem they created. I tried calling the CDA office to speak with Dr. Marindino and level with her. My experience with Dr. Marindino and CDA was frustrating at best. The truly frustrating experience is not just the poor quality of work, but the dishonesty that accompanied it. For the protection of yourself and your family, I would strongly encourage you to look somewhere else for your dental care. I first visited Dr. Marindino in early 2025 after moving to Cheshire. My first visit was a routine cleaning in January 2025, during which she recommended replacing an old filling (see before photo). I had no pain and no urgent issues. The first replacement was early February 2025 and left me with excruciating pain when biting down - pain that did not exist before the replacement. A second attempt the third week of February had the same result, I couldn't finish Valentine's dinner with my wife. By the end of February, on the third visit, my tooth cracked during the procedure, and I was told I needed a crown. Before the crown was placed I was handed paperwork to sign. When I asked what I was signing, I was told by Dr. Marindino personally, she would handle the cost with my insurance. After installing the crown, I still had pain and pressure. So i went and got a 2nd and 3rd opinions (see after photos) CDA sued me in May 2026 in small claims court for to pay for a crown that is a direct result of CDAs lack of care and negligence.

Cheshire Dental Associates is the best dental office ever! Dr. Marandino is phenomenal! She is courteous, super friendly and very informative. You can tell she loves her job, is compassionate and really wants to take time with her patients. After having bad experiences at other dental offices, I’m happy I have found an office that I plan on staying with long term!

I have been going to Cheshire Dental Associates for several years. I can’t emphasize enough how happy I’ve been with their service. They have late appointments available. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and the dentists are great. I wouldn’t even entertain the idea of going to another dentist.

I recently switched from another dentist who's practice has grown so much it became very difficult to get appointments.i was very pleased with the service I received and will continue all my follow ups through the practice. The staff was very accommodating with scheduling appointments based on my availability and my hygentist was excellent. I would definitely recommend Cheshire Dental Associates.

This was my first visit to Cheshire Dental Associates, and I can't recommend them highly enough. I used to feel completely at ease going to the dentist, but a previous traumatic experience—one that left me hospitalized for four days and with lasting health complications—left me extremely anxious. Walking into their office, I was on edge. From the moment I arrived, the team—especially Shelby and Dr. Marandino—immediately put me at ease. They took the time to thoroughly review my dental history, showing genuine concern for any potential lingering issues instead of rushing ahead. What truly stood out was the way they treated me with complete dignity and respect: no judgment, just real compassion. They listened carefully to every one of my concerns and addressed them thoughtfully, making me feel heard and understood for the first time in a long while. It was such a refreshing, positive contrast to what I'd endured before. They didn't just fix my teeth—they restored my trust in dental care entirely. If you've been avoiding the dentist due to fear, past bad experiences, or anxiety, I wholeheartedly encourage you to give Cheshire Dental Associates a chance. They truly go above and beyond, and they might just change how you feel about going to the dentist again.

Always a pleasant experience! The team is friendly, professional, and very helpful. I went in for my usual check-up and also had an older filling replaced. They were efficient and got me in and out quickly while still providing great care. Highly recommend!

Today, I came for my last cleaning appointment before graduation and moving out to my home country, Saudi Arabia. Shelby was amazing during dental cleaning. She is so professional, friendly, gentle, and caring. I was also seen by Dr. Fletcher for a quick evaluation. Thank you so much for such a great care! Five stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
