Dr. Paparian is the absolute best dentist that I have seen in my 66 years. My husband & I had multiple visits for extensive dental work that accumulated during the pandemic. I had declined removing my mask anywhere, inside...so, this is why we had so many issues. He excels in patience (I am anxious in any dentist chair). He uses a method of administering injections that is effective for the 'overly anxious', pain-fearing patient). He always has some great conversation mixed in with helpful teaching of good oral care habits. The front desk staff, assistants & hygienists are exceptional as well. In summary...this practice provides platinum standard dental care!

My wife and I have been going to Dr. Paparian for probably 20 years now. He and his staff have always taken excellent care of us. We moved out of Salem a couple of years ago and live about 1-1/2 hours away. We have changed to new primary care physicians and eye doctors up here, but we are not going to change our dentist. He is worth the drive.

Doctor and staff the best. Care during Covid could not have been safer. Everyone friendly, know who you are, they have reviewed your records and know why you are there. They are up to date with technology and provided me with options for my treatment. Multiple surgeons referred me only to doctor Papparian.

Awesome. Kind, committed to safety (COVID-19 or otherwise), thoughtful, and above all, honest. I found this dentist just looking at reviews on Google, and now, I'm glad to say I won't be switching to anyone else unless I move far, far away! The reception staff is great too.

I have been going to Dr Paparian for over 10 years. The entire staff is great to work with. Lynn and Kim at the front desk are very easy to work with. My dental hygienist, Lori, is awesome and very thorough. I would recommend Dr Paparian for anyone looking for a dentist near Salem, NH.

This was my first visit in MANY years to a dentist. I was embarrassed with how long it had been and very nervous. But the team at Paparian was amazing. Lori was sweet and really took the time to explain what was going on so I could relax. The whole experience was fantastic. I can't wait to go back!

I've been a satisfied patient of Dr. Paparian for 20 years. The hygienists and office staff are great. I no longer live in Salem, NH but I still drive 1/2 hour back to town for my regular cleaning and check-up. I highly recommend them.

I'm a long time patient of Paparian Dental Associates and I wouldn't go anywhere else. The entire staff truly care about their patients well-being. Administrative staff are key to a great office experience and Dr. Paparian's front line staff are the best. The hygienist's are so good at their profession, I'm never nervous when I visit, everyone has some anxiety about a dental visit but I never do and Dr. Paparian is so good at his profession, he's knows how to fix any dental problem, but more important he's such a nice person. The entire staff make you feel like family when you visit. Even though I've moved 30 minutes away I will always be a patient as long as my dental family is there.

I've been going to Dr. Paparian for a number of years and from the front desk, to the hygenists, to Dr. Paparian himself, the service is always top notch. I would recommend Dr. Paparian to anyone in need of dental service.
