    I have been coming to this practice since I was a wee gal, always impressed by the kindness and…read moreefficiency of the office. Every time I go they always greet me by name and while I only do my regular check ups with them, they referred me to a great oral surgeon to have my wisdom teeth removed!!

    I've been going to Portsmouth Dental Studios for 5 years now, and have had a variety of work done…read more I can say with all certainty that these guys are awesome and deserve all five stars. I see Shannon for tooth cleaning, and Dr. Lamoth for tooth fixing. I've often felt you can judge a dentist by the hygenist, and that is certainly true here. Shannon is AWESOME. I have had other tooth cleaners absolutely shred my gums in the process, but Shannon is always so gentle and manages to clear the crap off my teeth without making me bleed. She has a really great personality and is fun to talk to. Also, she has the CUTEST dogs. OMG! I also totally heart Dr. Lamoth and his assistant Patty. I'm a basket case in the dentist chair, totally freaked out about pain. He never hurts! and administers novacaine with minimal discomfort. Patty is his right hand man, and is great to deal with. Both of them have terrific senses of humor, and I always spend way more time laughing than worrying. Deb is the red haired check-out lady and she's always really friendly and helpful. She's very knowledgeable about dealing with insurance, which I totally appreciate. The other front desk/administrative staff I've dealt with have also been really friendly. Finally, the office it's self is really beautiful. Cheerful colors and white beadboard cabinets give it a laid back, beachy feel. I like how homey it is, rather than cold and clinical like so many professional offices. What led me to choose PDS initially is they don't do any mercury fillings. I realize this is a controversial topic, but personally I prefer to avoid the stuff and am glad I never have to argue about it. What has kept me as a patient is the awesome, good humored staff and their gentle work. The ONLY thing I don't like about this place is their logo. Sorry, my first career was as a graphic/web designer and clip-art logos rub me the wrong way. Otherwise, these guys can do no wrong!

    The mouth guard recommended to me by Dr. Santana has changed my life…read more I know what you're thinking... who says that? But it's true. I've been a grinder for years (unbeknownst to me) until recently when my partner heard me grinding away at night. Dr. Santana had also recommended a nighttime mouth guard in previous visits to protect against further wear and degradation. Reluctantly and with skepticism, I agreed to get fitted and start wearing the guard at night. It's been a year that I've been [mostly] wearing a mouth guard at night. I've noticed less tension and pressure in my jaw, I clench my teeth less during my waking hours, and I get a more restful slumber. Thank you, Dr. Santana and Crew! Only 4 stars here because I agree with the other reviews on the oral cancer screening. This is not covered by insurance, and took about 30 seconds ($39 out of pocket). Didn't seem necessary based on my personal dental and health history.

    Pros: - Accommodated my emergency quickly (cracked tooth…read moreduring holidays) - Professional, helpful staff - Same-day crown with excellent results - Good quality treatment overall Cons: - Received unexpected $800 bill after treatment was completed due to insurance "downgrading" the procedure - Office doesn't do pre-authorizations with insurance companies While I'm happy with the dental work itself, be aware of potential billing surprises. I recommend confirming exactly what your insurance will cover before treatment begins.
