Dr. Graham was absolutely amazing during an urgent situation and made me feel well cared for every step of the way. She took the time to make sure everything was handled properly, which meant a lot to me. The entire staff was kind, professional, and supportive. I’m very grateful and highly recommend this office.
I love going there . Great staff !!!
Excellent experience. The doctor was very personable. The staff are very nice. Highly recommend.
Friendly, knowledgeable staff.
I’ve been going to mondovi and seeing Merita since I was a kid! I love this place, the staff is very friendly and helpful. Merita is the best!
Very pleasant place and the dentist was thorough.
The care for my comfort gave me confidence in my hygienist Marita.
Very satisfail!
Super dentist(Dr Graham) and staff.
Very nice, polite staff. I had 2 fillings done on my visit, and the dentist was very skilled at injecting the novacaine with minimal discomfort to me. And she genuinely was expressing empathy throughout. I'm 65 & have had MANY dentist who were at best indifferent to my pain. So it was nice that she showed such concern.
Always a pleasant experience the staff is always friendly and very helpful especially when it came do doing Care Credit
Great service
They were very professional and caring about my needs
They were very nice to take me in on short notice for a toothache
Excellent service from all the staff, doctor, nurse, and office!
Merita is always so patient and knowledgeable. I really appreciate her time.
Hygienist is so professional, kind,and caring . I'm glad she cleans my teeth. I don't want anyone else.
The staff was super attentive and caring to my husband who had a dental infection. They squeezed him in on the same day, last minute, and were beyond helpful! They are patient and kind and actually care about their patients and not just their money!
I Experience Excellent Knowledgeable Customer Service With Doctor Grahm & Her Professional Staff.
Easy scheduling; got me in on the day I went in thinking it was my appointment. But I was ahead a month times.
I’ve always had a great experience here, and today was no different. I came in for my 6-month cleaning, and the dental assistant was professional and thorough. The doctor reviewed my X-rays and did a detailed assessment. The front desk staff went over my insurance, clearly explaining the costs and coverage. Overall, an excellent team of professionals I’d highly recommend.
Excellent care I give them a 10 ++
Ola does a great job.
Love Dr.Strait and the rest of the crew. Keep up the good work everyone has been awesome. Beginning of the dust to settle with all changes. Finally, a light at the end of the tunnel.
I have been going to the Bristol location since it was Dr Latvis's practice. I am loyal to my amazing hygenist, Marita. I have sensitivity issues and she is able to clean my teeth in a manner that makes it still comfortable. I also appreciate that they don't try to nickel and dime you by drilling out old filings that don't need to be or any other type of work that isn't necessary. In the past, I haven't loved their dentists and it seemed to be revolving door of dentists coming in and leaving, but the current dentist, Dr Graham, is my absolute favorite!! She's very sweet and compassionate and does great work.
Very good experience. Would definitely recommend this dental practice to my friends.
My dentist was excellent and highly knowledgeable! She fixed two broken fillings quickly and with no discomfort. I had a wonderful experience!
The staff at Mondovi Dental are very friendly, patient and understanding. I moved back to Bristol last year and I am happy to be returning here.
What a great dental practice and first visit to Mondovi Dental . The dentist and hygienists as well as the office staff were all wonderful. The dentist and hygienist took the time to talk with me, answered any questions I had and were very personable. Highly recommend
Very friendly, great cleaning and like that they have later afternoon appointments! I love my hygienist too!
I am very satisfied with the care i’ve received and the staff have been great. I highly recommend Mondavi!
Mondovi Management, I always get my teeth cleaned by the Dental Hygenist named Shamaila. She is very pleasant and always does a great job. My last visit was not as pleasant for me. Not because of the Hygenist. Apparently, the new owner (Mondovi) is so concerned about collecting data that the patients are subjected to listening to noisy entries into the computer program that Hygenists are required to make to track each tooth being cleaned. I think the efficiency experts that are tracking down to each tooth being cleaned as well as the time consumed by the Hygenists to do their job have forgotten the most important part of this program ...........................,.... THE CUSTOMER!!! You are making this very difficult for all involved. You have reasons to get your data, but it really impacts the good relationships that long term patients have with their Dentist, Hygenists and Office Staff. Keep it up and you won't have much data to collect .... You won't have many customers to data_mine from!! Mr. Brady
Amazing Service , Samantha my hygienist was so thorough and professional! It was a pleasure going there!!!
Ola was very nice and helpfull so wad the doctor and they are very affordable
I was just there yesterday. Awesome experience. Very knowledgeable and informative. Highly recommend!
Excellent staff, friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. Highly recommend
Very professional, they put me at ease and were very kind and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them.
Great Job, quick and painless. Great bedtime manor. Great place
Great dentist, on time appointment
The dentist was very reassuring and great with communicating to me
Always a pleasure going there, well as much of a pleasure as going to the dentist can be for someone like me, (with my tooth/teeth situation). Even with Dr. Latvis leaving the hiccups have been handled with professionalism and patient focused perseverance. Thanks to Marci and all the rest of the staff. Sorry I don't know all your names. Welcome, new Doc. Man, I go to the dentist too much.
The staff here are always so fantastic. I hated/feared/avoided the dentist for far too long for a woman with my capabilities. They have made every appointment for the past several years feel more relaxed than I ever thought possible. I can't say comfortable, but that's my anxiety. The women who I have dealt with repeatedly are FANTASTIC. I watched this practice grow from a converted multi-family house, with heating issues, to a welcoming, steady practice. These women are the reason.
Absolutely the friendliest, most thorough, and professional dental office around!
Dr. Sofia Villagram is an Excellent, caring and gentle dentist!
Very thorough and pleasant environment. Ola has been a joy. Very professional.
Thank you for being clear and consistent with explanations, and negotiating next steps and options that make sense for me. I appreciated the screening form so that I don't have to be inundated with services that I am not interested in.
I had a great experience at Mondovi Dental. The dental hygienist was very thorough and explained everything to me in great detail. I highly recommend them.
Prompt, Concise, Professional, Terrific Attitudes By All.
Extremely pleased to feel confident in the abilities of my hygienist (Trish) and my new dentist (Dr Vee).
I met Dr. Villagran for the first time today. She was by far the most cordial, friendly, professional person I have ever met. She made me feel like family from the onset. If anyone has a ‘fear’ of dentists….go see her…..you will look forward to your next visit!
You are all amazing people, starting with warm and helpful reception through to the patient and caring technicians and doctors. 100% best dental facility in the world.
I wish I could give Mondovi dental a million stars! They fit me in at the last minute on one of the worst days of my life. Everyone in the office from the very friendly receptionists to the hygienists and Dr. Sheth bent over backwards to help me and relieve my pain. I was in really rough shape and everyone there was so nice and caring and extremely understanding and gentle. Dr. Sheth is very professional, knowledgeable, kind and willing to go the extra mile. I really can’t say enough good things about her and the staff there. If you are afraid to go to the dentist (or not) I highly recommend Mondovi and Dr. Sheth. You will be in good hands and you will be well taken care of.
I have been here for 15 years and finally found a great dentist. Dr. Sheth is wonderful. We are moving this week and my tooth broke about 2 weeks ago. They fit me in for an appointment, gave me a temporary cap and ordered the permanent cap. Squeezed me in again to place the permanent cap before our move. I hope I am able to find such a dentist after I move. Thank you to Dr. Sheth and her wonderful staff!!!
Very knowledgeable, friendly, caring doctors and staff.
The staff were extremely kind and attentive. It was a clean an organized environment. I am very pleased with how they took care of my 4year old and her first dental experience.
I am in the middle of my Invisalign treatment and am so happy with the progress so far. I wasn't even sure if my gap would close in my front teeth but it is almost there already! Dr. Sheth is a great dentist. She made sure the treatment was the right choice for me and went to great lengths to make sure the treatment will be successful. Everyone in the office is friendly and professional.
Dr. CARDILLO was great, he refilled a tooth and I felt no pain what-so-ever. I was amazed!
They are helpful and always available for Austin’s and concerns
Everyone that I came in contact with we're very pleasant and made me feel at ease being there during the covid 19 crisis.
I wholeheartedly agree with all who gave 5 star reviews speaking volumes of how wonderful the service is and the exceptional degree of genuine hospitality from staff. While stationed in Connecticut, Dr. Radhee Sheth provided the fullest measure of the very best care I've experienced from any other dentist ever. You and your staff have definitely set the bar high on every category, As always Thank you and best regards from Virginia.
One of the best dentist in Bristol!!! Everyone is extremely helpful and polite! Can’t wait to go back!!
The best overall dentist experience I’ve gone through in my life. The dental hygienist is extremely knowledgeable and takes pride in their job, the doctor was precise and to the point, and the receptionist is the really kind and helpful and funny (she overall the best person I’ve ever met in my life). Recommend you go here for sure!
Everyone is so nice! The dental hygienist does an amazing job. It is clear she has a passion to provide excellent care.
This is the first dentist I’ve ever gone too to where I felt extremely comfortable and actually looked forward to going too haha. The front desk staff are extremely friendly and welcoming to new comers and to those who have been there a few times. The dentist and the dental assistants are very professional, honest, have great personalities, and have a very good sense of humor. They’re also quick and efficient and I’m very satisfied with the results of their work. They do their best to make sure you are comfortable and prepped for the procedures at hand. For anyone looking for a new dentist to go to I highly recommend this place! :)
On a scale of 1-10, I'd recommend this office at a 20! The staff at this office is the best of any medical office I've ever been to. Marcy it's fantastic and has trained the front end staff in her vein, which is friendly, understanding, kind. All foreign to most other provider offices, who treat their customers like nuisances. My hygienist is the also the best. I think her name is Heather... she has a 10mo old baby girl. She is friendly, kind, knowledgeable, helpful. I enjoy spending 45 minutes in her chair. Who can say that about a dental cleaning! Keep up the great work.
Best Service Best Staff Well organized and honest. Dental Hygienist highly recommended Never been to an amazing practice for dentistry. This is the one that is the STANDARD.
This dental office is one of the best! Always make you feel important and the staff is truly caring. Makes going to the dentist a great experience!!
Not many places would accommodate for someone with seizures--everyone was helpful and perfect. Serinda at the front desk is a gem and an irreplaceable worker! These are people that care not only about your teeth, but you as a person. That is rare.
Great staff very pleasant. Had a bad experience at Dr. DENTAL and they made me feel comfortable and welcome. They were on time and explained what they were doing. They did a great cleaning and it didn't hurt. Love this place.
Dr. B is not only a colleague of mine, he is also my provider. I shared with him several of my x-rays, and he gave me his professional opinion, most likely saving me from an unnecessary root canal. I value his expertise and lovely chairside demeanor!
The BEST dental office I have ever been to!! Can I say that Marcy in the front desk is the most pleasant and kind person???? The hygenist I saw, Merita, was AWESOME. I hate going to the dentist because I am afraid of the pain I feel when they clean my teeth but she was SOOO patient and kind. They definitely hire top notch staff!!!
Excellent dental care providers. Pleasant staff who go above and beyond to ensure patient comfort and patient understanding of necessary procedures. Highly recommend!
In 1997, my previous dentist had suggested crowning a troublesome tooth that lost fillings. I had many teeth with multiple fillings- some with so many fillings that there was no longer enough tooth left to properly anchor them. A crown on the tooth could solve this problem. The dentist said I could crown my other teeth later, as each became a problem. While mulling over the crown idea, my insurance changed and that dentist was no longer in the network. A relative recommended Dr. Latvis. Dr John Latvis (Dr Chris’s father) noticed that I had ground down all my teeth (bruxism). He said if I crowned just one tooth, it would have to be made shorter than its ideal cosmetic length in order to match the height of my remaining ground-down teeth. Eventually, as my other teeth needed crowns, I would end up with a mouthful of short teeth and a scrunched-up looking face. As an alternative, Dr John suggested that if I did all my teeth at once, all the crowns could be made long enough to restore my proper facial height. That made sense to me. Why put up with the drill-and-fill if I had a better option. So during the summer of 1998, I opted for a full set of crowns. Dr John placed me in the able hands of his son, Dr Chris. With meticulous precision, Dr Chris crafted a set of crowns that have served me nearly flawlessly for 20 years and counting. Over those 20 years- - I lost ONE crowned molar. It had an old deep pocket that developed an abscess. - I had ONE cavity. It was in the one molar that didn’t need a crown. - TWO veneers on my front teeth fell off at different times (while I was eating soft food- honest!). Dr Chris re-did each of those veneers to wrap around the tooth for a better grip. They’ve been problem-free since. 20 years of pain-free teeth. No more dreaded drilling. I can eat what I want. No more ouch from biting into sour apples, drinking hot coffee or eating cold ice cream. I do take care of my teeth now, which I obviously didn’t do as a kid. As soon as I had the crowns, Dr Chris made sure I had a tooth guard to wear at night- and I do wear it. I brush and floss every day. Twice a year, I’m in for a cleaning and checkup. I smile a lot now. I hope that your experience with Dr. Latvis and his staff will be as great as mine has been.
A very friendly staff and environment. They were constantly making sure I was comfortable and I appreciated the personable but professional air of everyone I interacted with.
After moving to CT in 2010 I FINALLY broke down & found a dentist in CT. This being only my THIRD in 51 years. I was so glad we chose The staff here at Mondovi Dental as it was like being with family.
Amazing care, was nervous about going to the dentist after a few missed years. They were extremely attentive, caring and time efficient. I would recommend to anyone.
Family Friendly and customer service oriented. Dr. Latvis has given me back my smile :-}
Smooth as silk
Great place for a dentist!! The hygienist I had was very good and very personable! Seems like things have changed since they merged with Mondovi dental but Dr. Latvis is still there so that's great! He makes you feel really comfortable! Would recommend this place to anyone!
Loved it!

If you’re running errands near Ocean State Job Lot or spending time at Page Park and local schools, we aim to be the dental office you keep coming back to over the years.
Many people avoid the dentist because past experiences were rushed, confusing, or uncomfortable. We take a different approach.

A calm visit where you can ask questions and get straight answers

Comfort-first care, especially if you feel nervous in the chair

Dr. Barbara Graham is part of the team supporting patient care at our Bristol office, helping ensure you have a consistent dental home for ongoing needs—from routine visits to treatment planning.
Most dental problems are easier to handle when they’re caught early. Preventive dental care helps you stay ahead of cavities, gum irritation, and tooth wear—often before you feel anything at all.
Preventive visits typically include:
Dental exams and checkups
Teeth cleanings to remove buildup you can’t fully reach at home
Gum health screening and guidance for home care
Monitoring changes over time so nothing sneaks up on you
If your goal is fewer surprises (and fewer urgent visits), prevention is the best place to start.
Many people want a smile that looks great—but they also want it to feel strong and comfortable. Our team can help you choose treatment options that match both goals.
Depending on what you need, care may include:
Teeth whitening to refresh your smile
Tooth-colored fillings for cavities or minor damage
Dental crowns to strengthen teeth that are cracked, worn, or heavily filled
Gum-focused care when tenderness, bleeding, or inflammation becomes an issue
You’ll always get a clear explanation of what we recommend and why—so you can make a decision you feel good about.
Dental pain can turn a normal day into a stressful one fast. If you’re dealing with sudden discomfort or visible damage, it’s important to get guidance quickly.
Common reasons patients call us include:
Toothache that won’t go away
Swelling or signs of infection
A chipped, cracked, or broken tooth
A lost filling or crown
If you believe you’re experiencing a dental emergency in Bristol, CT, call our office as soon as possible. We’ll help you understand what to do next and schedule the earliest available visit.

Nearby neighborhoods around local shopping, parks, and schools
And if your week includes trips along major local routes or quick stops near familiar landmarks, having a dental office close to your day-to-day makes it easier to stay consistent with care.
