She said it will be fine and cemented it in anyway. My bite was messed up and when I went back she said it is perfect and she does not make mistakes. I just need to get over it. I went to another dentist who immediately saw that the crown was way too sharp and he filed it down and was much better. Then I had to go back a second time to this other dentist for some pain and they found a chunk of cement that Dr. Patel did not clean off. I was in pain and had not eaten in days because of what she did and I was literally crying her chair. She was cold, and uncaring and told me she was right and I needed to deal with it. I strongly suggest you do not go there!

BEWARE of this practice, post is long but worth the read…read more I had been a patient for 3 years at this practice, and while always satisfied with my care, things changed with the introduction of a new provider. October 2025 at my regular cleaning, they were "running behind because of the new provider" (quote from my Hygentist Bev). She rushed me in, cleaned my teeth, took new X-rays, and she was off to get the new dentist for the exam. He introduced himself, gave a 2-minute exam, said " nice to meet me and off to the next patient. After his departure, Bev informed me that I needed two crowns and they should be done as soon as possible, for fear of further damage. Interesting....I had not reported any changes or pain. Off to the checkout I go. Checking out the total for the day was $328.00. Evaluation $70, Bitewing Four Image $100, and Prophylaxis $158. The estimate I was given for the two crowns total $4640.00. Wait....you want me to invest $4640.00, allowing someone who spent less than 5 minutes with me doing the work? Nope, getting a second opinion. AND!! I called the office and spoke with the office manager, Pam, about my experience. She told me they would/could do the work at the current price because after the new year, prices go up 5%. Found my wonderful previous provider, made the appointment, arrange for x-rays to be transferred. (See my review at Concord Smiles, 13 Wall St., Dr. Dulock) New appointment, all was going well until I found I needed new X-rays, Schell Dentistry had failed to provide the latest October 2025 and Dr. Dulock needed to see if any changes. Schell's office sent 2023 and 2024, but not 2025! Those of course, were the most important to see the changes for the impending new crown diagnosis. New X-rays were taken and after comparing, Dr. Dulock saw no changes from 2023 and 2024; he felt no crowns were needed at this time. He did mention that perhaps at some point in the future these fillings might need replacing, but not now. Yay, Dr. Dulock, thanks for taking the time! Today, December 16, I called Dr. Schell's office and again spoke with Pam to let her know the October 2025 X-rays were not sent and there had been an "error" perhaps on their end in transferring my files. She put me on hold and when she came back, told me the files had just been transferred. Don't need them today; I needed them yesterday. Pam also informed me that Concord Smiles "could" have called for the X-rays yesterday. Honestly, it took me two phone calls due to a busy signal to talk to her. "We are busy" was her reply when I pointed that out. And when I also pointed out that had the new provider, Dr. Mahlik taken the time to examine my x-rays, perhaps he would have come to the conclusion that no crowns were needed? She, Pam, became very frustrated with me and accused me of being "mean"? Seriously, I thought I was very much under control and being polite based on the service their practice had given me. She did wish me a Happy Holiday or have a nice day wish, it was a brief comment before hanging up on me. Moral of the story - get a second opinion, I'm VERY glad I did.

Well, now you know, but you wouldn't have known if I hadn't told you. His hygienists were cool and for the first time ever explained why flossing daily is so important. I then started to floss daily. Dr. Schell wins! The staff does sorta rush you through and the end of the visit is awkward. Do I stand here? Do I pay? What do I do? Oh, please, somebody tell me I'm so LOST! Eventually they tell you to stand HERE and pay THIS. I also got my teeth whitened with the system where they make a mold of your teeth and the goop goes in the trays that are made from the mold. My trays were uncomfortable and I went back in and they adjusted them. And the goop made my teeth hurt and made me ultra sensitive to sound, which is weird, but I've met somebody else who had that happen to so I am NOT the only one. Anyway, the system worked well and my teeth are white as new snow in Enfield Center. Yay! I also thought it was cool that Dr. Schell was, at least when I saw him, on faculty at Dartmouth. Fancy. He did send my records quite expediently when I moved and changed dentists, and that was very nice. I would see Dr. Schell again, if I ever moved to NH again, which will NEVER ever ever happen. So maybe you can see Dr. Schell instead.
