I went today and had to have 2 teeth removed. I HATE the dentist due to a horrible experience. Every part, from getting scheduled to being seen, was flawless. First of all, I have never been able to get an emergency extraction. Everytime I have needed one, I have had to wait a month minimum. I got scheduled for the very next day, with Julie P.. She then transfered me over to Jenna D. to go over prices and payment options. I was able to set up a payment plan, within my budget, quickly and painlessly. Today, I was meet with very friendly receptionists, I wish I got there names however, I was so nervous it slipped my mind. I was then very quickly taken back for x-rays with this lovely gentleman named Angel. Unfortunately, I didn't catch my Doctors name, as again my nerves were shot. However, I do want to give him and every staff member I delt with all the praise and well wishes in the world. You all have made me not terrified, to the point of refusing to go in over 3 years, of going to the dentist! Each and every one of you deserves a raise!!! You have no idea what you have done for me today. I can finally stop living with tooth pain, for fear of having to go to the dentist. That's a HUGE deal! So again thank you all SO MUCH, you have an amazing team!

Gentle Dental South Nashua is a wonderful team! Dr. Mehta is a kind, hard working and patient dentist. You can tell that the office team works well together, making for a peaceful experience. I have had a crown and a few cavities filled so far, and I am very impressed with their work.

Gentle Dental in South Nashua has an amazing team. From the Front Desk staff to Doctor Mehta, everyone is extremely pleasant and attentive. I initially called with a dental emergency and wish I had found this practice long ago. This is an exceptional dental practice that I highly recommend.

This was my 1st time at this Gental Dental, from the front desk to the dentist and the dentist assistant was professional, patient, caring, they both show empathy, the Dentist & the assistant constantly check to make sure I was ok. The Dentist explain every step. He made sure I was numb before he started with the extraction. I have deep root, I was so happy that he didn't give up. Normally it take 2 - 3 hour to pull my tooth. This was the 1st time a dentist extracted my tooth in 1:15 min. I'm very happy with the service I got from the time I walk in the door. Priceless to me especially being a black female. I will make this my dentist office to take care of my teeth. Ms Taylor. Thanks Gental Dental for making me feel important.
