Dr. Peter A. Albanese Jr, DMD

Dental care in Amherst doesn’t have to mean a long drive into the city. Just off University Drive, near the mix of student housing and quiet residential streets, there’s a practice handling everything from routine cleanings to more involved procedures. It’s the kind of place people turn to when they need a filling replaced or a checkup that doesn’t feel rushed—no frills, just the basics done consistently. The area itself is a blend of academic energy and small-town practicality, which fits the straightforward approach here.

Preventive care is the backbone, but they also deal with crowns, bridges, and extractions when needed. No specialty gimmicks, no upselling—just the core services that keep things functional. Amherst’s dental options can be sparse outside the campus clinics, so having a general practice this accessible (right by the bus routes and bike paths) makes it easier for students and long-term residents alike. The address, 100 University Dr #2, puts it in that stretch where everything’s within a short walk or drive, depending on how you navigate the town.

Parking around there can be tight during school hours, but the location balances convenience for both UMass-affiliated patients and locals who’ve been coming for years. It’s not the kind of place that advertises heavily or leans into trends—just a steady option when you need one. Questions about insurance, procedures, or scheduling? The phone line is open for that: (413) 549-5100. No automated menus, no runaround, just the direct route to booking or clarifying details.

If you’re mapping it out for the first time, plugging the address into your GPS works, but the directions here will save you the guesswork of which entrance to use. The building’s layout is simple once you’re there.
