How many people are loopy enough to say they enjoy going to the dentist? And not just for the…read morenumbing meds! I'd be one of them. ;) Everyone is smiling from when you walk in, to when you walk out. Deb, at the checkout desk, has a wicked dry wit. Good laugh. She will talk your ear off if you let her. :) Many of the staff are long term employees. They obviously enjoy their jobs, and really make you feel comfortable. It's nice to have the continuity and get to know the people who are looking after you. Kids seem to feel secure there too. First started going about 11 years when we moved to the area. At the time the practice was just Dr. Haroian, sharing space in a commercial building. A few years ago he built the lovely new free standing practice almost next door, at 2 Ricker Road. (I've let the Yelp elves know the address has changed), and two other dentists joined him. Husband and wife team, Dr. Courtney, and Dr. Keith. I think Dr. Haroian is working his way towards retirement, so I generally see Dr. Courtney or Dr. Keith now, both of whom I like very much. I'm a bit more high maintenance (can't believe I just admitted to that!) when it comes to my teeth. Heavy duty clencher when sleeping/stressed. Have cracked multiple teeth over the years as a result. Even cracked a mouth guard. They regularly have to adjust my bite (how the teeth meet together when closed) since my teeth move around more than for most people. Pattie is my regular hygienist. Very thorough and gentle with the cleanings. And she does a mouth cancer screening at each visit. We both have a love of dogs, and I take full credit for introducing her to fostering dogs waiting to be adopted. ;) Her family was at a bit of a loss when their last dog passed away, but they weren't ready to commit to another dog yet. I suggested fostering and she ran with the idea. It's worked out very well for her family, and especially all the dogs they've helped find new furever families. Today she said she's fostered 25 dogs so far. She's lasted longer than I did! I talk about dogs with Kathy too, who assists both Drs. Dressler during procedures. The time flies when you're having a good chat with a drill in your mouth. :)

The staff here really seems to strive to make my experience as comfortable as possible . They are…read morevery up to date with their technology. I had an issue pop up that needed to be evaluated by their 3D X-ray. I was able to get clarification on the issue quickly by Dr Courtney who broke it down in plain English and not confusing dental terms. I have to give a shout out also to my hygienist Shayla, who is the best I've ever had. I will definitely be telling the locals this place is awesome !!

This practice was just purchased by Dr. Faud Tamweh. I followed him from MA to NH, he is the best…read moredentist I ever had! He is extremely knowledgeable, caring, patient, puts all patients first to make it a very comfortable experience. He explains what he is doing at every step. Plus - he works quickly, efficiently and gently, which is great for someone like me with underlying conditions that can make dentistry uncomfortable and anxiety producing. I also took my mother to see him (she has dementia) and both he and his entire office staff were very caring and patient with her, understanding her difficulties and needs. The staff are friendly and kind as well! A+++

Horrible experience! Front desk person Paula antagonized me…read moreand was malevolent. When I complained about her behavior, Dr Newman, instead of ensuring respectful and fair treatment of patients, threw our family out! They submitted wrong info to insurance company (Signa), neglecting to mention that procedures were done on 2different teeth. That led to denial by Signa. I had to make multiple calls and appeal Signa decision. After my appeal was approved and dental office was paid as participating provider, I continued to be billed by the dental office: I received 6 bills!-3 bills on one day and another 3 bills on next day. All 6 bills dated on day of my birthday-? coincidence. After Signa intervened on my behalf, it turned out that not only I don't owe them anything, I overpaid them, and Signa made them to return money to me. I have to give credit to Signa for their professionalism and help. I did not expect such a brutal treatment in dental office.

This place is absolutely terrible. They've canceled my appointment three times without telling me…read more And when I showed up, they acted like it was no big deal. Meanwhile, I missed like a day and a half of work. Not only that, but when you're in the chair, they're constantly trying to up charge you on things tell you you should do this and you should do that. I actually went to another dentist just to get another opinion. I would not recommend this dentist at all or their entire fleet of New England dental group people. They were trying to send me down to Boston to some specialist. I didn't need it. AVOID

They were previously Byte Dental, which was pretty good…read more Cons: They have a methodology of "drilling for gold", whereas they find issues, push a sense of urgency (get it done QUICK- or you could have serious issues!"), and push (fairly hard) on getting it all done. More money than average, but latest equipment. They are pretty pushy when it comes to looking for money. I actually had to hold back laughing at this particular dentist (gold miner), it was so obvious. Pros: Office is very clean. Staff is very friendly & helpful, hygienists are very good, but the Dentists... VERY pushy. If you bear that in mind (and don't take their pushy methods too seriously), they're okay. I'm considering switching to another dentist because of their constant hunger for $$$.
