A brand-new dental office has opened on North Limestone Street in Springfield—the largest expansion in the nearly 30-year history of Gentle Dental in Springfield.
The new office is designed to provide local patients with a stylish, modern dental experience while meeting the growing demand for oral care.
The new 10,000-square-foot office features 18 operating rooms and state-of-the-art dental equipment, including a variety of dental cameras and lasers, to provide patients with more comprehensive and precise treatments.
Dr. Rohit Nezhad, founder and principal of the office, said the project was inspired by the need to provide innovative dental services to the Springfield community.
“My goal is to provide every patient with the best dental experience possible. I want them to feel not only that they are receiving treatment, but also that they feel safe and comfortable,” he said.
He explained that the new clinic took four and a half years to design and complete, and that he personally conceived much of the design concept. He incorporated a variety of inspirations, from five-star resorts and the New York Plastic Surgery Journal to hotel design, into the dental clinic’s environment.
Entering the clinic, the newly renovated seating area and inviting ambient lighting highlight this unique concept. The clinic not only offers routine treatments but also offers cosmetic dentistry, utilizing intraoral imaging technology to provide more accurate dental models.
Rohit Nezhad emphasized, “We accept most major insurance plans and aim to provide high-end yet affordable dental services, making quality treatment accessible to everyone.”
In addition, the clinic has added a staff of aestheticians. Preeti Nezhad says she can help patients improve age spots, wrinkles, and even address snoring.
She believes this expansion is particularly important for those who have previously struggled to access dental care, especially with the retirement of many dentists.
For Rohit Nezhad’s father, veteran dentist Dr. Kayvon Nezhad, the new clinic is a fusion of heritage and innovation.
Since moving to Springfield and opening a small practice in 1993, he has been watching the growing dental needs in the community.
He is delighted to see his son take over and upgrade the practice: “It’s thrilling to see him continue and build on what I started.”
Rohit Nezhad says the new clinic was made possible through a team effort and community support: “This wasn’t a one-person project; it was the collaborative effort of all the staff and those who helped us.”
The opening of the new clinic marks a new era in dental care in Springfield, providing the community with a more advanced and comfortable oral health experience.
