    Unfortunately, the work is shoddy. My husband had a partial made and it is mostly gum...not teeth!…read more It is useless. He had another dentist look at it and that dentist was shocked...he said he hadn't seen work like that in over 10 years! PGD will not make him a new one! Instead, they want to file his real teeth down...unreal! I had a little work done and they "filed" my Marilyn Bridge to make their work work....my marilyn bridge is now loose from one tooth and all they said was don't bite into apples! Really? They messed it up and i think they should have fixed it! I have had this bridge for over 25 years and now I have to have that repaired! Won't be fixed there! The hygienist, Donna, is awesome though...In my opinion, I think that's about all they are good for...cleaning teeth!

    This dentist is responsible for the loss of one molar and possibly the loss of another molar. I had…read morethem make two crowns. One of the crowns fell off less than a month after placement and then it loosened up and caused the molar underneath to decay to the point where I had to have it extracted! The second crown is not good either and has pulled away from the tooth a bit so that that molar I may lose also! The dentist allows her technician to place crowns which only a dentist should do! I filed a complaint with the NH Dental Society and they supported me and had her reimburse me for the shoddy crown that caused me to lose my tooth. I also heard that one of her patients had a tooth filled by her technician! The patient did not realize that this was not the dentist until after the work was done. I wouldn't take my dog to this dentist! This was the worst dental care I have had in my life!

    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.

    I really liked Dr. Schell! He took good care of my chompers, and even repaired the tooth I broke…read moreat Murphy's (see the Murphy's review) and you would never know the bottom 1/3 of my tooth is fake! 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.

    I can't answer for dental procedures. My review is based on their promoting…read more oral appliances for sleep apnea. I moved here from MA a year ago and have had a MAD (mandibular advancement device) for 5 years and my appliance is at its end of estimated life expectancy. After reading their info on their webpage they seemed to be the place to go. I had a free consult and was advised that I would need to pay $99 for an at home sleep study. NOTE: before making an appointment I contacted my insurance-BCBS. They advised me that no new sleep study was required as I have been wearing an appliance for 5 years. I just needed a referral from my PCP stating it's a medical necessity AND I would need an out of network insurance referral. This was all to be done by the dentist. Well after waiting over a month, I received a text message asking me if I had gotten all of the authorizations and referrals. Hmmm I had forwarded everything that was needed to the dentist and she assured me that she just needed to forward everything to the billing department. Fast forward...I received a bill for $450 from the company that "read" the sleep study. Nope not covered by insurance because the company is out of CA and the dentist did NOT obtain any out of network insurance referrals. I mentioned to them about the bill and their response was "sorry to hear that". They left me a text message stating "we can reduce the cost of the appliance significantly for you from $6700 to $3195. This would be due at time of records. My insurance does cover the appliance and I would only have to pay 20% plus $25 for each office visit. Apparently companies just don't know how to handle insurance claims or just plain don't want to do it. I called them and advised them that I'll be traveling 2 hours back to MA where it can be done hassle free.

    In August 2023 an old filling fell out. I'm 63 and hadn't had a filling in a couple of decades…read more At the appointment to replace it I explained that I'd never had any type of filling other than old-school silver. I asked them to tell me as we went along if the process would be different, using the newer materials. I received novocaine and Dr. Racz began drilling. Suddenly pain shot through and I jumped a little. I thought perhaps the novocaine wasn't working? I didn't know. I thought he would address that sudden pain, but Dr. Racz just said, "This isn't my day." I thought he was upset that I had jumped and knocked his arm. Then he filled the tooth, creating what felt like a boulder; I couldn't close the bite. I thought he'd made a terrible mistake; this never happened with silver fillings. He started to grind it down, but it was still a boulder. Then he walked out and didn't come back. The hygienist said he would grind it down. For the next half hour, first the hygienist, then the 'practice manager', ground that filling. I asked the practice manager what her dental qualifications were. She simply repeated she was the practice manager, and she could grind as long as she didn't touch the tooth itself. But she didn't succeed in restoring the bite. It was past closing time on Thursday and the practice didn't re-open until Monday. I went through a 3-day weekend with a boulder in my mouth and thinking I might not ever bite correctly again. At home I asked my sister, a former dental hygienist, about the pain, wondering if the novocaine had failed. She explained that if a dentist drills for too many seconds the tooth heats up and causes that pain, but the novocaine is still working. The dentist just needs to adjust drilling to a shorter time. She alleviated some fear around that by saying, "It happens," like it was not a big deal. No one told me that in the dental office; I was allowed to just worry about whether they know how to manage novocaine. They got me in Monday with Dr. Racz; he ground the filling until it was right, with me telling him where to grind based on my tongue's memory of the original shape of the tooth. Biting on the marking paper repeatedly didn't get us there. I learned then that a dentist is allowed to use a stronger grinding tool, so the process was much faster. I also learned for the first time that this grinding process is normal for the new material; they over-fill and then grind to the proper shape. Knowing that Thursday could have prevented a lot of inner panic but no one told me that. Finally Dr. Racz admitted he shouldn't have come in at all the previous Thursday because his dog had passed away that day. Well, that explained a lot! I expressed empathy, having been through that; we all love our dogs. Still, the lack of communication from the staff was a problem. No one explained the sudden jolt of pain, no one explained grinding the new material was normal, no one said it normally doesn't take over a half hour to restore the bite but that was because of the less powerful grinding tool than the dentist is allowed to use. No one said, "The dentist doesn't normally leave mid-filling, there was a personal emergency." When he walked out, I did not know he was not coming back. No one said anything. They just erased the charges for that filling, which told me they knew they'd messed up, but no one talked to me about it. All of this compels me to write this review and find a new dentist.

    It has been some years now since I saw Main Street dental, and I really should have made this…read morereview then...I just was far too frustrated. I went to this place once and had a full examination. The reason I never went back was because of the things the doctor said to me. After going over my medical history with the doctor, we talked about my previous surgeries. I went to this dental office when I was around 23. I was just answering their question as to what surgeries I have had, and when I said I had a bilateral salpingectomy the doctor (yes DOCTOR, not assistant etc. but the DOCTOR) then scoffed at me. I then had to hear about how this dental "professional" thought my OBGYN specialists were basically crazy for doing this surgery for me. How basically they were stupid for allowing someone that young to get the surgery, despite any possible medical reason I could have needed this surgery. How I shouldn't have gotten the surgery, how they'll just give anyone any surgery they want etc. Scoffing at my doctor and I's decision and that it was wrong. Between laughs I looked at the other workers around me looking for help, and no one stopped this doctor. (I was too shy then to stand up for myself then). No one should be laughing at or making fun of a surgery a woman decides to do for their own body, but ESPECIALLY another doctor who has nothing to do with that field. The doctor had no idea why I got the surgery, what I had gone through, etc....and it didn't even matter why. No professional should be laughing at another patients personal decisions with another doctor they've had that obviously knew them for much longer than this one visit with the dental dentist. I was appalled, hurt, confused, but most of all disappointed that another human being could think this was ok, let alone a health professional. To act like any personal surgery someone has is wrong, is appalling for anyone to do, let alone another doctor. To act like any other doctor is incompetent for following through with a health plan they and the patient had been working on for YEARS is just wrong. (but they wouldn't know how many team members I had on this, years we spent, all the hoops I had to go through...because they of course didn't ask before they started making mean comments to me) To laugh at, ridicule, and treat a patient so meanly for no reason is just WRONG. I was suppose to get some fillings done at another date and canceled them all. I felt so hurt, I knew I could never go back to this office. What that meant though was, I had to go find another dentist. When you start with a new dentist, (at least in my case) you have to do a whole full examination every time, your insurance will only cover so many in a certain time frame. So it was either go back to the dental office that made fun of my body, my choices, my experiences, my capabilities, my doctors choices, my doctors capabilities, and be made fun of possibly again....or go to another dentist and have to pay out of pocket for a full examination, which I couldn't afford (and I'm still paying the bill for) but couldn't emotionally handle going back. (btw, when I went to new dentist, they told me I didn't even need all the fillings Main Street mentioned....) It took me this long to write this because that event really impacted me. I had been waiting for this surgery for over 15 years and I medically and choice wise needed it. It was going to benefit me in so many ways and just a couple months out of the surgery, I was still so happy. My excitement about my choices soon diminished, those 15 years of waiting got taken away by another health professionals hurtful comments and I became scared telling anyone else, stopped trusting every doctor etc. And every time I drive by this office I still get upset. But I decided I didn't want anyone else to go through what I did. My intent with this post is to not bash this office. My intent with this review is to make the office see this, reflect on how they treat their patients, and to work on it not happening again. There's nothing wrong in being wrong, the only thing wrong is not making it right. So I hope for this office to see this and have better training on what is okay to say to patients and what is not. To treat others with kindness and just to do better. I know that to this doctor, this conversation meant nothing and they probably don't remember it. But it still impacts me to this day. That's how impactful words can be and I just want people mindful of that, especially those in the health profession. I am a forgiving person and if that doctor ever wants to apologize I'd be more than accepting. I can help inform and teach people why its not ok to do what happened, I'd love nothing more than to be helpful. But again, we can't get better until we're told about the things we should fix. That's all I want.
