Having had past dental procedures by Dr. Vitali Bondar, Smile Design, Portsmouth NH, there is no…read moreother dentist I would rather go to. His calm demeanor is wonderful, absolutely, then couple that with his skill, knowledge, and inventive nature makes him a "miracle worker". I had an emergency on a Friday night (as my front tooth decided to leave), and of course, during after hours. I left a message on the Doctor Vitali's emergency number, but told him not to hurry in, as the emergency was mine, without pain or blood, and wanted him home with his family. Sure enough his Office Manager, Leanne, phoned me first thing Monday morning and scheduled me in that afternoon for a consult. After the consult it was decided that a bridge was needed as both front teeth were in turmoil. This was shocking to hear, but I have faith in this man, from past experiences; yes, was a bit frightened, Both teeth were removed on Holy Thursday and the Monday after Easter, I had a bridge with beautiful teeth. PAINLESS and secure. It had been a long time to eat something with such comfort and normalcy. I forgot what that was like and so very thrilled beyond understanding how he made this happen, but it is truthful. I am so happy., Dr. Bondar's staff has to be commended also, just has to be. Leanne works her magic with running the office and accommodating their patients with regular appointments and those with emergence. I feel really comfortable with her at the helm, always wanting to help and please in a sincere kind and caring way. Federica and Shannon are the doctor's Assistants and where does he get these personal, capable staff members is beyond me. Their gracious persona, and for real caring attitude is very comforting. They made me forget what I was there for. I am scheduled for a cleaning with their Hygienist and have not yet met her, but I've seen her usher her patients out with warmth, and genuine feelings of care, so I am sure, she will be added to my happiness with Smile Design. If you read all about Dr. Vitali's accomplishments on his website, not only is he impressive, but he is kind and a really great human being. It is an honor to be a patient of his. Thankful and grateful, Junelizabeth Paine

I have been with this practice, including my entire family, since Day 1 - when Dr. Don Welsh…read morestarted the practice decades ago. Exceptional quality and perfection has become the hallmark of this practice. At an age where my husband, who considered Dr. Don a friend for years, has passed, my children have grown and have families of their own, and my medical practitioners have all retired, it was clear that Dr. Don chose the Ultimate Best in Dr. Samantha King to replace him. The staff is kind, friendly, and efficient, so it remains a pleasant atmosphere and experience for everyone. I look forward to my dental appointments, and even through the pandemic, there was a certain relaxation knowing that a secure ventilation system was installed for the safety of staff and patients. I do miss Dr. Don patting me on the shoulder as I sat in the chair, inquiring about my granddaughter (also his patient) at college in Colorado when he often inquired about her, but he still yells "Hi" to me when he cycles past my home in Kittery Point. I would give this dental practice ten stars if it were possible.

I've had appointments with three of the doctors and I've met many of the dental assistants, and they're always very friendly and very knowledgeable. It always feels like they genuinely care about me! I went in last week to get my wisdom teeth extracted, and Dr. Moroi took excellent care of me. I was really nervous about being awake for the extraction (they don't do sedation), and he calmed me down and patiently talked me through every step. Also, I was supposed to get all four out, but before the procedure he showed me the x-ray of my teeth and explained to me that even though it would mean more money in his pocket if all of them were extracted, he thought I should leave the top ones alone because they were so far up and it would be more painful for me if he took them out. The only reason I'm not giving a five-star rating is because the receptionists tend to be a little sub-par. I once had a receptionist schedule a cleaning for me, and the date she told me and wrote down on the little card was different from the date she entered in the system. I ended up showing up for an appointment I didn't really have. Also, I was once told that my insurance doesn't cover cleanings (which it does!) and she tried to charge me $85 for it! It took a lot of arguing before she realized she was wrong.

Marion got me settled and took xrays then Dr Jacqueline Bonci did the most thorough & relaxed exam I've ever had experienced. After 10 month since last cleaning I was encouraged my gums were in good shape. However, my teeth are not such good news. Getting not good news in the empathetic way Dr Bonci delivered it made it easy to digest and accept. I had planned to go to Tufts Medical School for 5-6 implants because of cost. After today's experience I feel more confident that never there is a way through this. I'm staying here and though I may only get 2-3 implants I want this work done by Dr Bonci. Very grateful for the care received including the office staff.

This review is coming from someone who has had anxiety and dental phobias for years, so much so…read morethat I hadn't gone, even to get a cleaning, in about 5 years. I've since visted GFD twice in the past two weeks. Professional, check. Knowledgeable, check. Friendly, check. Gentle, check. Relatable, check. Above all of that, I kid you not, this place is a nice day at the park. From the moment you walk in the door it's like being welcomed in by long time friends. Then before you know it (if you're emotionally open for it of course), you realize you've found yourself in a comedy club, smiles and laughter abound and the positive energy is just everywhere. Enter the space with "the chair", the once anxiety producing object carries only a relaxing welcome here. More friendly and helpful faces talk you through everything, the chair goes back and the concert begins. Yes you read right, concert. There is no time to feel nervous when you feel like you're in such good hands, you can just enjoy the show. The staff are so in tune with each other it's like watching a dance happen above you. You've got you're "safe gesture" since you can't have a safe word, and your comfort is checked in with frequently. I thought for sure I was going to request Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) for my procedure today but Bei Li was so gentle, I didn't even feel the Novocaine. Like an hour at the spa, I had to resist closing my eyes to complete the relaxation for fear that they may have thought I'd passed-out. Bonus, as genuine as they are in their interest and care of you, they don't ask you questions that require long answers WHILE they are working in your mouth. B O N U S. Never in my life have I felt so taken care of, welcomed, and relaxed at dental appointments. I feel like I have new friends and I actually look forward to going in to see them again. This place WILL change the way you experience dentistry.

I always feel comfortable and safe with Dr.Harrison, and I don't typically feel that way with Dentists. The staff is also phenomenal. Megan and Jess, who run the office, and super friendly and accommodating. They always try to work me in the schedule when there is an emergency. They text back and forth which is convenient for me. I get auto-reminders before and the day of the appointments. It's a great experience and these two are a big reason why. Susie, Becky, and Kim and three of the dental hygienists that I've worked with over the past few years. They also contribute to this special culture here. No time is wasted in my appointments because these 3 are always on their game. I know there are other hygienists and I can guarantee if they work in this office, they are good at what they do. What I particularly appreciate about this office is the culture and the way people treat each other. When you add that on top of excellent dentistry, there is not much more you can ask for. I highly recommended this office.
