Mira Zinger & Associates

I am so VERY pleased with Dr. Zinger and her team. She’s gentle, thorough, and kind – always taking the time to explain procedures and issues. She completely took away my fears of seeing a dentist! I can’t praise her highly enough.

We’ve been coming to Dr. Zinger for years. I had always been terrified of dentists but couldn’t put it off any longer. Dr. Zinger was gentle and talked me through the work that I needed in order to get me back on track to having healthy teeth and gums. I’ve been cavity free for well over 10 years now.

— Mira greeted me in the hallway before my appointment started, she was friendly while speaking with her, and unlike some she was attentive to any questions I had.
— Kara, the hygienist, was great. She was well educated and great to talk to (as much as you can) while getting cleaned.
— Secretary was also very nice while I filled out my paperwork.
By far one of the best dentist I have been to in a long time. I would highly suggest…

I initially started going to Dr. Zinger as she was a short walk from my home in Brookline Village. I’ve always been really squeamish about going to the dentist. Finding Dr. Zinger was a true blessing. Dr. Zinger’s office is cozy and conveniently located. It even has its own parking lot behind the building. Dr. Zinger is fantastic when it comes to working with patients like myself that demand extra patience and sensitivity. She is very friendly and does excellent work. Dr. Zinger drilled my first cavity, at age 28, and she made it as pleasant an experience as possible. I strongly suggest Dr. Zinger for anyone looking for a dentist with a kind and gentle approach to working with their patients. You will not be disappointed.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Mira Zinger and her team.
I called her office a few months ago on a whim– while my parents were in town visiting my dad became very ill and ended up hospitalized. The same day he was discharged from the hospital he began to have a horrible toothache! I Unilocaled local dentists and found Dr. Zinger who said she could see him right away.
Dr. Zinger took a set of xrays and did an exam and we found out that my dad needed a root canal. She was willing to do it right then and there since she saw how uncomfortable he was. My dad wasn’t feeling well as he was recovering from a hospital stay (talk about a bad trip!) and Dr. Zinger and her associates could not have been more helpful in keeping him comfortable. From adjusting their equipment so that he could lay in a better position to contacting his team of doctors to make sure it was safe that he could undergo a dental procedure so soon after a hospitalization (and that the medication he was on wouldn’t interfere with what she would be using) Dr. Zinger was truly our dental angel.
She did the first portion of the root canal then told us that the second part would be more complicated. She recommended to be safe, to see an oral surgeon but that the portion she did meant that we could wait up to a week to complete that part. She contacted our home dentist and communicated what she had done and what was still needed. My parents went home, my dad SO much more comfortable, and had the procedure finished closer to home at the oral surgeons the next week. The oral surgeon was very impressed and happy with what Dr. Zinger did and we were all grateful that she was able to help him in Boston.
If you are looking for a wonderful dentist and person who is willing to go out of her way to help in a unique situation, go see Dr. Zinger! I have sent several family friends to her and everyone is just as happy with her care.

So, I find the dentist absolutely terrifying: like on a deep existential level. I can smash a creepy crawly with my fist, watch a horror movie without blinking, dangle off the end of a bungee cord with ease, and leap tall buildings with a single bound (okay, not really). But please, puh-​lease, don’t make me go to the dentist!
That being said, Dr. Zinger and her assistant are amazing!!! I was able to get an appointment right away. She was on time — I didn’t even have the chance to bite off all my finger nails. Everything was fast, totally pain free, and (believe it or not) surprisingly affordable. I don’t have insurance, so the latter was a nice little surprise — much cooler than a free toothbrush.
As I was leaving, her next patient came in — there were hugs all around, questions about ‘the kids,’ etc. To say that Dr. Zinger has a ‘good bed-​side manner’ (or, giant-​chair side?) is to say far too little.

Dr. Zinger is the BEST! Quick and painless dentistry! Before Dr. Zinger, I had a fear of dentists, not only because of the pain, but because of the cost. Dr. Zinger is gentle and her prices are fair. Natasha, her assistant, is always welcoming and helpful. I have recommended several people to Dr. Zinger, including my husband who had been avoiding the dentist for 8 years! Everyone has been more than pleased with her work and the experience.

I foudn Dr. Zinger on Unilocal and it was a great choice! I had a bad tooth ache and even though I had never been there before she was able to see me the same day I called! She is very flexible and always makes time for her patients if something goes wrong– coming in early, staying late, etc.

A friend of mine recommend Dr. Zinger to me, so I decided to end my moratorium of seeing the dentist after over fifteen years and pay her a visit. I was resistant to dentists in general, since my memories were always of very painful experiences performed by impersonal dental assistants, even for routine cleanings.
Dr. Zinger has cured me of these fears. Her small office means you deal primarily with her. She’s very gentle and handled my deep cleaning (over a the course of a number of visits) with absolutely no pain. Her dental assistant is just that — her assistant, not her surrogate.
Thanks to her, I’m back on track with regular checkups, which I enjoy. And now I’ve started to take my 4 y.o. son, since she’s an awesome pediatric dentist to boot.
My only hesitation in recommending her is that I don’t want her office to get too big or busy! I’d like to keep this wonderful secret all to myself!

I chose this place for the location but I would not recommend Dr. Zinger. I have never had any cavities before and I feel like Dr. Zinger pressured me into getting fillings I didn’t need. I’ll never know, but I would just say be careful.

I have been a patient of Dr. Zinger’s for about 7 years now. Before going to her, I hadn’t been to a dentist in about 10 years. I had so many traumatic childhood dental experiences that I just avoided it. Well, now I go every six months. Dr. Zinger is very friendly, and she doesn’t blame me for having problem teeth. She did a root canal for me when I was a new patient, and I felt no pain! I’ve also had several old fillings replaced, and my teeth look really nice. I’ve sent several friends to her over the years, and they all love her, too.

I can’t recommend Dr Zinger highly enough. I’ve been blessed with a string of gentle dentists and Dr Zinger is certainly that. Her office is small, clean and bright. Like all dentists, she tries to start cheerful conversation while elbow deep down down your throat. She has a TV screen so you can watch movies while the procedure is going on. An excellent dentist for children.
There are so many little things that make me appreciate her more every time I go. Her assistant calls you two weeks before your appointment and is ready for a last minute reschedule. She is also brilliant in dealing with your sleazy insurance company. If you are seeking a dentist, look no further.
