Dr. Andrew Mancini

Dental care tends to feel more urgent when the office is close by. That’s the quiet advantage of practices in older neighborhoods like Cambridgeport, where side streets still have the scale of a time before cars. Dr. Andrew Mancini operates from 19 White St, a brick-front building a short walk from the Central Square T stop. The address places it within easy reach of both MIT undergrads and long-time residents who prefer to keep their appointments local.

Routine cleanings, fillings, and crowns are the backbone of any general dentistry practice. Here, those basics are supplemented by digital X-rays, periodontal screenings, and simple extractions. Patients who need more involved work—root canals, bridges, or dentures—can have the initial consultation on-site before deciding whether to proceed. The office also handles pediatric check-ups, making it a practical option for families who want to streamline their errands.

Cambridgeport’s mix of students, young professionals, and older homeowners means that dental needs vary widely. Some come in for a quick polish before a job interview; others schedule longer visits to address years of deferred care. Whatever the reason, the office keeps a standard set of procedures available without requiring referrals. To book an appointment or ask about specific treatments, the number is (617) 354-3300.

Directions to the practice can be found on the map. The street itself is narrow, so parking is metered on weekdays, but the area is well served by buses and the Red Line. For anyone who lives or works nearby, the location removes one more excuse to skip a check-up.
