I started coming to this location during COVID as I couldn't get to my regular site anymore. Since then which is now going on 2 yrs, I've been very pleased with the care and customer service. I have found that everyone I speak to at this practice is patient and willing to take time to listen. They are always following up after a procedure to make sure am doing ok.

My family and I were patients at the Gentle Dental on Main Street in Nashua, NH for about two years. In that time, my family had more cavities than the twenty years prior. After the forth cavity for my family, they told me I had a cavity. I questioned the dentist about the severity of the cavity, and he assured me it was a mature cavity that needed to be filled. I went for a second opinion, and the new dentist said it was not a mature cavity that needed to be filled. It was a small dot that may or may not develop into a cavity. It has been 2+ years since my second opinion and the small dot has not developed into a mature cavity. A few months after this incident, they told my husband he needed a tooth capped. He got a second opinion and the new dentist (different from my second-opinion dentist) said he did not need a cap. It has been 2+ years since my husband's second opinion and the tooth is fine without a cap. Stay away from this place - they will sell you unnecessary procedures!

As their name states, Gentle Dental is indeed gentle. I have always been extremely fearful of the dentist. My hygienist, Lisa was truly concerned about my comfort. She did all in her power to keep me anxiety free. She was successful. First time ever that I left the dentist without my teeth and gums feeling bruised. Thank you so much Lisa!! Dr. Anthony is a burst of sunshine and fresh air. Can't help but grin when he comes in to do his check!! Thank you for making a normally anxious situation for me much less stressful!

Dr. Anthony's administrative manager, James is accommodating, friendly and very personable! Dr. Anthony himself is extremely professional and knowledgeable in his craft. I didn't even feel the Novacaine going in He was very conscientious throughout the procedure and made sure I was comfortable. His assistants were great! Down to earth, helpful and friendly.

Great experience at Gentle Dental. I usually hate the dentist visit but the process was so easy and comfortable here. Very clean practice, everything was sanitized and well kept. I'm especially thankful to Maria at the front who was helpful, knowledgeable and very friendly. I will definitely be returning as a regular patient to this Gentle Dental.
