I graduated from the University of Montreal in 2016 and never stopped learning since. Providing optimal dental care is a passion of mine that keeps getting bigger and bigger. Not only do I enjoy all the aspects of dentistry, I have also obtained certification in Invisalign, an orthodontic technique with clear aligners that can offer my patients a wonderful smile that spreads joy and provides confidence. Additionally, I have a certification in dental implants, which allows me to provide solutions to replace missing teeth that can help patients retrieve their pleasure and enjoyment of eating the foods they love. My goal is to diversify my knowledge and techniques so that I can offer the best and newest treatments to my patients.

With my patience and delicate approach to patient care, I try to make your experience at the dentist as pleasant as possible. At JD Howard Dental, you can feel the warmth and a patient-oriented culture as soon as you walk into the door. Also, there are no limits to what the management is willing to invest in order to provide the best patient care possible. This is mainly why I knew I was going to work with this clinic as soon as I walked in the door and met with the team. We really go out of our way to give the patient the best experience possible, and that has always been a passion of mine.

Before moving to America, I practiced in Canada. I then met the love of my life who I followed to the United States of America. I initially worked in Texas for a year before we decided to move to beautiful New Hampshire for a new beginning. We fell in love with the beauty of the nature and friendly citizens as soon as we crossed the border.

In addition to dentistry, I enjoy spending time with my husband and newborn son. We love outdoor activities, cooking, watching our favorite TV shows, and reading. I also enjoy traveling and discovering the world. Come see me at JD Howard dental and I can tell you more about it with my lovely French accent!

I chose dentistry as my profession because I had a passion for working with my hands, combined with a love for science and technology, and the genuine enjoyment of working closely with people to both educate and correct issues of oral health.

I enjoy educating patients and helping them discover the paths to the best possible oral health they can achieve. Seeing patients happy to return to the dentist because theyve been given the tools to maintain a healthy smile is just as rewarding as the patients who have made a complete transition from problematic oral health to wellness.

I received a BA in Chemistry from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA. I then earned my Doctorate of Dental Medicine from University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine in 2019. I completed a General Practice Residency at Danbury Hospital in 2020.

I pursue an extensive amount of online and in-person continuing education to stay on top of the leading-edge materials and techniques in order to provide patients with the best possible experience and the highest quality dentistry possible. I find discovering new and better ways to restore and maintain healthy smiles personally tremendously rewarding.

I grew up just south of Boston, Massachusetts, but have spent my recent years in Connecticut. I always was interested in living in New Hampshire for outdoor activities without having to move too far from my family and friends. Some of my favorite hobbies include motorcycling, DIY projects, camping, and skiing.

Dr. Fan (Frances) Yang is a graduate of University of California San Francisco. She continued her education at Harvard University School of Dental Medicine where she completed her Periodontal Surgery Residence and earned her Doctorate of Medical Science.

Dr. Yang has served as Class President of AGE Peridontics at Harvard, and as a Student Member of the ADA task force on design and analysis in oral health research. Dr. Yang attended Harvard University on the Presidential Scholarship and received the Research and Clinical Excellence Award at University of California San Francisco.

Dentistry is a field that I can be a good influence to other people while I learn and become a better person. I hear many interesting stories and life experiences from the people with various background. By listening and communicating to the patients, I can share my education so they can make their best decision. It is very exciting to watch my patients improve their oral health and general health, even life after getting dental care. Also, I learn a lot from my patients' life experience so we grow together and be better everyday.

Dentistry is never boring since every patient can come up with different outcome. That is why I try my best to listen to my patients and share my thoughts so they can make their own best decision. Team work is the key in dentistry.

I am Canadian Korean. I was born in South Korea and moved almost every year until now. I lived in many cities in Korea, many states in the U.S., and I also lived in a few cities in Ontario Canada. This diverse background made me into a person who tries to understand different circumstances of the patients.

Dr. Chawdry stays up to date on the latest advancements in dentistry by attending Continuing Education courses. He works closely with hispatients in order to tailor-make a treatment plan that will fit their daily needs.

My job duties include providing preventive dental care, administering local anesthetics and nitrous oxide, performing periodontal treatments, and treatment planning. I also help my patients understand how best to keep their teeth and gums clean and healthy between visits. I reside in Milton with myhusband Scott and our boys.

I love getting people excited about their oral hygiene. When someone understands the connection between great oral health and a healthy body, and they start making real changes in their home care, habits, and food and drink decisions, I know Ive done well. Theyre not only going to have less oral problems in the future, but theyre going to have healthier lives. I offer preventive care, am certified to deliver nitrous oxide and local anesthesia, provide periodontal treatment and maintenance, and sealants. I live in Gonic with mytwo daughters Ahlyvia andSavannah, and our two dogs Romeo and Juliet.

The best part of my job is when a patient comes in very nervous or anxious, and they leave completely relaxed and at ease due to the quality of care we have provided.

I love spending time outdoors on beautiful days running, swimming at the lake, and especially amusement parks with my family.

My duties as a dental assistant include assisting with dental procedures such as fillings, crowns, and extractions, and preparing patients for surgery. The best thing about dental assisting is the satisfaction of being part of a team of professionals who work together for the good of their patients. The JD Howard Dental team exemplifies this, and creates an environment that is always uplifting and welcoming.

    I've been going to JD Howard Dental for years and recommend them highly to friends and family. They all make a dental visit very comfortable but professional. Wouldn't go anywhere else! I saw Dr. Lee today and her assistant. She was a new dentist in the practice to me. She was great! Gentle fast and explained everything she was doing. Best of all, pain free!

    I'm very happy using JD Howard Dental as our family provider of dental services. Aside from regular cleanings for me, my husband, and our two young children, I have had three crowns put on, and my children have unfortunately had some fillings. My kids are always excited to go and never dread the appointment. They offer various modalities for people who may feel anxious about getting their dental work done. I've been very satisfied with Dr Tanya and Dr Dan's dental work. Their hygienists are also friendly, caring, and competent. Although we may not have the same dental hygienist for every visit, it's ok, and it doesn't matter, because they all rock!

    I have been a patient at JD Howard Dental for nearly 20 yrs. They always do quality care, are knowledgeable and patient with my kiddos.

    Relatively new patient. My "old" dentist retired... been going to him for 35 years, so transitioning to a new dental practice was a bit stressful. Had heard good things about JD Howard Dental, LLC and they are just down the street from our house. Have been in 5 times for everything from cleaning to crowns and have been totally satisfied with the care, professionalism, and friendliness of the staff. They made the switch smooth and enjoyable and I highly recommend them. For your dental care, I don't believe you could do any better. Feel pretty much the same after going on 4 years as a patient...

    I have really bad dental anxiety. The staff at JD Howard always puts me at ease whenever I go there. I do take relaxation medication, but it doesn't take away all of my anxiety. Today I went in for a couple of fillings, and they were great. Dr. Jordan and his assistant were very patient with me and let take breaks if needed. I definitely recommend JD Howard Dental to anyone in the Seacoast area.

    Everyone I interacted with was super kind and understanding. I have a lot of anxiety around going to the dentist, which they were not at all shamey about. They explained everything they were doing, the reasoning behind the actions, and made it clear that there would be a care plan in place. I even got another appointment for the following week, which I was not expecting! Definitely found my go-to dentist office.

    Requested a dentist in the practice I had seen previously in contrast to several prior visits where a new dentist seemed assigned at random to see me. Having practiced as a medical oncologist for 30+ years and knowing the value of continuity of care, I insisted on seeing a dentist of my choosing. Care continuity should be the default way a dental practice is run!

    Saw Dr. Tanya for a crown today. She was very efficient and made sure I was aware of every step of the process and never felt Andy discomfort throughout the entire procedure.

    JD Howard Dental has wonderful and caring Doctors & Staff, with excellent dental care, and they accept CareCredit for payment options. I would definitely recommend this Dental practice to everyone.

    I have always been terrified of the dentist, far beyond a normal fear or even a mild phobia... I can't say I'll ever LOOK FORWARD to going to the dentist, but I know at this office they will understand my extreme fear and while they won't sugarcoat things, they will treat me with respect and kindness. I trust them. I'd never thought I'd ever say that of ANY dentist.
