Dr. Nesvold has a dental assistant help out with the x-rays, charting, and dental procedures (fillings). There are no paper charts here! All of the dental records (x-rays, charts) are stored digitally by computer. Above the dental chair is a flat panel monitor which shows your chart, xrays, and digital images of your teeth and gums. Previously, I couldn't see the back of my mouth at my former dentists. Cool fish screensaver on the monitor!! It's definitely worth the drive from the Merrimack Valley to the Seacoast for my dental needs!! My supervisor now goes to Dr. Nesvold for his dental needs too!!

My experience with any sort of dentistry was horrible growing up and it made me very fearful of…read moregoing to the dentist to the point where I refused to go for an extended period of time. I knew my wisdom teeth needed to come out as they were causing me pain, so I knew I needed to pick a new dentist. I chose Atlantic Family Dental based on positive reviews online. All of the nerves instantly went away when his receptionist Julie greeted me upon arrival, she's always smiling and super friendly. She answered my insurance questions and introduced me to Dr. Nesvold. He (along with his dental assistant Kathy) spent about an hour with me the first appointment and we agreed to do a thorough cleaning at a later date. That appointment went smoothly and they took extra special care knowing I'm incredibly sensitive to pain (I'm a bit of a baby). He referred me to an oral surgeon in the area (Dr. De Tolla in Portsmouth- also fantastic) for wisdom teeth removal. I didn't meet his hygienist, Cheryl, until a few visits later but she's just as friendly and helpful as everyone else there! I've now been going there for several years and I can't say enough good things. I've now converted a sister and my boyfriend over to the office and plan to keep recommending Atlantic Family Dental to friends and family.

Worst possible customer service and care experience today. Business has been sold to new ownership…read moreand they claim they sent an email to patients which were not received by many. They also did not state that many patients health insurance would no longer be accepted and only take Delta Dental as of 7/1. And they only tell patients this when they walk in the door for their appointment day of as opposed to contacting patients that have differing insurance in advance. Terrible practice, would not recommend anyone visiting that office. New ownership is not treating people correctly and previous ownership completely failed his patients. I would have rated them zero stars but the app wouldn't let me.

GETTING DENTURES FROM THIS DENTIST IS A NIGHTMARE…read more Last year, in August 2025, I found this dentist online and the reviews looked great. I called to make an appointment for a cleaning and to get partial dentures for my top and bottom teeth, and I agreed to move forward. By the end of September, the dentures were ready. But when I tried them, they didn't fit at all, especially the bottom ones. The dentist told me to try them for a week and come back if they still didn't fit. After a week, I went back because they were painful to put in and take out. The dentist ASSURED me a new set would be made at no extra cost. But then... nothing. I waited until December and called, they said the doctor would call me. A week later, I called again and got the same response: "The doctor will call you back." Weeks went by, and still no one contacted me. I called multiple times, and every time, I received the same empty promise. I've already paid $1,500 out of pocket, and my insurance covered $3,000. And now, in January 2026, I STILL don't have my dentures, and no one has reached out. I am beyond frustrated and do NOT recommend this place.

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.

Dr Hallissey is a new doctor in the office. Both doctors and staff are incredibly friendly and personable. All I can say is that my teeth have come along way since I began with this team. I feel so much better about my smile. Beautiful crown work, great cleanings, trustworthy advice and service, they explain thoroughly, they spend time listening and I never feel rushed.

He was very informative on what the causes of the pain could be, and he was thorough in his exam. He pinpointed it to a previous filling that had outlived is useful life. He gave me some options on what could be done and when he could do it. I needed a crown and so I chose to have him start it right then. This is what really makes this practice stand out. He could have just a scheduled it for a later date and sent me on my way, but he put the gloves on and started the procedure. I am really happy with the work Dr. Hallissey and his staff do and I will refer all my friends to The Center for Restorative Dentistry. The clean, inviting environment makes you feel relaxed, and his fun and upbeat staff are a pleasure to interact with, and they really know how to put you at ease. Your comfort is their priority!
