Since graduating, Dr. Bains has focused on building strong relationships with her patients and caring for them on a personal level. She aims to translate this into her everyday practice by applying her simple philosophy: Listen first, teach second.

Kristy Winata DMD
Your caring dentist in Medford, MA.
Dr. Winata started out as a business major but quickly realized that she values relationships and the artistic side of healthcare much more. And, with dentistry being equal-part art and science, she was able to put both her interpersonal and fine motor skills to excellent use.
What Dr. Winata loves most about her job is being able to provide instant improvement to the patient’s quality of life. Especially when that means saving them from discomfort and pain. But she also very much enjoys dentistry’s more artistic side, designing beautiful and functional smiles.
And when she’s not busy doing that, Dr. Winata loves traveling to new countries; experiencing new cultures and food. Regarding food – she’ll try anything once!

Great experience with Dr. Bains! I'm usually very anxious about the dentist due to unfortunate past experiences, but she made me feel extremely relaxed. Her entire team is very welcoming. It feels good to have a dentist who I know I can trust and I won't automatically avoid when it's time for my six-month cleaning!
