Have a lot of work that needs to be done Brooke went above and beyond for every visit by educating me along the way and making sure I was comfortable throughout. Great experience for something I dread including the great receptionist who was welcoming and accommodating.

Dr Erik Young Is by far the best dentist I have ever seen. Thorough in his explanations and how I should care for my teeth. Natalie is also outstanding. Made the process of my visit quite enjoyable. She is kind and gentle and it was over in a snap. I highly recommend this office. Adding to the previous posting. Been going to Derry Dental for years now and will not change. Even if I were to win the lottery and move to Hawaii, I would fly back just because they are that good. Maybe I'd fly them out to my place on the beach. Hmmmmm... Anyway, Dr Erik, Dana, and Natalie are the best in the business. If going to the dentist causes you anxiety, try Derry Dental.

In for a cleaning today, but needed Perio Scaling. Nathalie, my hygienist, was amazing! She kept me informed and " comfortably numb" for the entire procedure. The office staff was very helpful and fun to talk to also. I highly recommend Derry Dental Associates.

Drs. Eric and Karen Young have created a practice that is both professional and family friendly. They have set the tone for a team of accommodating front desk associates and caring hygienists. My experience with this practice is consistently positive and I would highly recommend to anyone seeking quality dental care delivered with a smile!
