Reviews of The Center for Contemporary Dentistry (Doctor)

University of Earth Music

When l took to the internet, one of my key search words was "Compassion." After seeing some of the other places I could go to,The Center for Contemporary Dentistry truly stood out above the rest. I was surprised to see that this practice acknowledged the reality of these types of feelings in patients and would even offer sedation for my anxiety. I wasn't being a big baby after all?! Other people must be experiencing the same types of fears and anxieties which I know, can be one of the big reasons for postponing treatment, leading to more extensive and costly repairs. I also saw, that not compromising on their materials was important to them as well. I've known of some people whom have had fillings crumble and fall out, or repairs failing shortly after an appointment,ultimately forcing them to pay again to re-repair with a better material that should have been applied in the first place! I was looking for professionals that truly cared about the art and integrity of dentistry and were up to date with the latest techniques. I couldn't believe the wide array of services and treatments this one facility had to offer. I wouldn't need to go anywhere else for the many procedures I knew I would be needing. On their site, I saw that Dr.Manisha Patel and her husband Jay Patel, had the expertise and vast knowledge to handle nearly anything I needed. Their motivation and passion for what they do is evident based on their advanced education and continued involvement in the field. This all seemed too good to be true! Now I just had to make the initial appointment. I finally took a deep breath and made the call. Upon arrival, I was greeted with warm smiles and bubbly personalities at the front desk. I spent only a few moments in the reception room, though I wouldn't have minded waiting a bit longer in the elegant and relaxing atmosphere they had. When I finally sat down in the dental chair I had so long been dreading, I thought, "Well, no going back now." I was asked by one of their warm and friendly assistants if I was comfortable,and was offered a neck pillow and any music I wanted to hear. Was I at a spa?! Dr. Manisha Patel came in to meet me. She was so patient, sweet and understanding concerning the pain I was in, assuring me that there would be no pain here. She was proud of me for taking this first step.That I should not blame myself any longer, and that all of this can be fixed."One step at a time." Wow, It's amazing how much of a difference empathy and compassion can make in a situation like this. You just don't meet gentle souls like this everyday. I felt as though I was the only patient in the whole place. Now, we needed to come up with the best restorative strategy for my teeth, that could also fit into my budget. Dr.Patel took the time to explain in detail what we would do, breaking it all up into phases, starting with the most important things first, like preserving the good teeth by stopping the decay.So we set the first appointment. After my deep cleaning and first set of fillings,(which did not hurt!) I knew I was really, finally well on my way to a healthier and brighter smile.Friends and family could already see a huge difference too. My anxiety and fears were magically melting away! Such an amazing feeling.I am already regaining the confidence I'd gradually lost, and feel a new motivation to change my overall health and well being.Less nerve pain is always wonderful too! "One step at a time." I will never EVER go anywhere else! You are truly in the best hands when you come here. I am so thankful to God for finally finding my "Dental Angels!" Thanks again Dr. Manisha Patel! Dr Jay Patel & team! I'm very excited to see my end results. - Melanie

Wonderful experience every time at this office. I have seen Dr. Jay Patel for over 10 years now and I absolutely love him. I have always dreaded going to the dentist before I found this practice. Yesterday I saw Dr. Manisha for the first time and she is just as wonderful! Painless and very caring--just like Dr. Jay. The staff is top notch and well-trained. I recommend this office to everyone I know. I wouldn't trust my family's dental care to anyone else.

Awsome people, great service. Very friendly atmosphere.

Be careful if you go here. I went twice, won't go back. I really got the feeling that I was an income source to them as opposed to being a dental patient. They wanted me to do all these expensive procedures costing around $5,000 which I didn't need. I won't go back there and I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

They gave me the best cleaning that I have ever had. Everyone in the office is warm, cheerful and very polite. I was nervous at first because its been a long time since I've been to the Dentist, but the Dentist and Dental Hygienist made me feel at ease. They gave a thorough cleaning and exam. The individualized comprehensive dental care they provide truly sets them apart from other dental offices.

William Leaman

Dr.M and her whole staff are the best.

Shannon Killary

Dr. J Patel and Dr. M Patel have a lovely dental office that is warm and inviting! Finally a place I can go and feel comfortable and not afraid to have my teeth worked on. The staff also is very friendly and always greets me with a smile! I know I'm in good hands when I go to The Center for Contemporary Dentistry!

The hygienist performed a great job cleaning. However, I’d really a bad experience with the front desk ( ripped me off). First, they told me that my insurance wouldn’t cover all so I’ve to pay $$ at front which I did and I was told that rest would be covered by my insurance. Later I got a bill after few weeks of service saying it’s not covered my insurance. I paid $$$ from that amount on phone with receptionist and agreed to pay the remaining amount after getting in touch with their manager. The receptionist asked me to write an email which I did but didn’t hear anything back. After a month I got a letter saying you need to pay the remaining amount or it will be reported to credit. So I paid rest of the amount. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone. Never going back even with free service.

I recently moved down to Texas to be closer to my parents. I had been a patient of Dr Jay and Manisha for about 15 years. When I went to my parents dentist for a routine cleaning and exam. The hygienist was extremely impressed by the work done by the Patels. The dentist even commented that he hasn't seen such beautiful dentistry in his 30 years of practice. They also couldn't believe that most of the work was over 10 years old. Needless to say I felt proud and fortunate that I was under there care for the last 15 years and that my money was well spent. I joked with the new dentist that if he could live up the standard that the Patels put in my mouth I may fly back to New Hampshire for all my dental visits. Sometimes we don't realize how good we have it till it's gone. Thank you Jay and Manisha. I am seriously considering flying back for my dental visits.

Horrible place! Buyer beware... Do not do your business with this company. Before the appointment has even taken place, they wanted to charge my credit card for services not preformed.. On top of that, I was told my insurance was not "accepted" and I had to pay cash out of my pocket. Horrible business practices! Makes me think they have cash flow problems since they require payment up front before services completed. Go to Dr. Rosato's office in Concord NH, much better service. They actually care about you and your money.

Dave Charron

Very friendly and thorough. Completely satisfied with my examination.

Jessica Olivier

I hadn't been to the dentist in over ten years and was embarrassed to admit as such. However I saw Anna for my first cleaning and she was very supportive and helped me get back on track. She was very gentile and my teeth felt amazing when she was done. I also saw Angela for a follow up cleaning and she was equally amazing. I would highly recommend either of the hygienists this office has to offer, they are extremely knowledgeable, personable and efficient.

Ryan Carson

I brought my two young daughters to this office for their cleanings. Anna did both cleanings and was so patient with my squirming children, I won't bring them to any other hygienist. Anna was extremely friendly, understanding, and very knowledgeable. Now both my kids constantly tell me how important it is to floss! My 5 year old had a cavity so we had to come back and we saw Dr Jay. Dr Jay was amazing with my daughter who had never had a filling before and was nervous. He let her hold her stuffed animal and even put a mask on her stuffed horse. She got a big kick out of that and now LOVES Dr Jay.

GREAT STAFF and AMAZING patients! I am blessed to be apart of it all. ❤️

Payal Patel

Dr. Jay and Dr. Manisha Patel have an amazing dental office which is comforting and welcoming. The doctors, assistants, and hygienists do a great job interacting with their patients and always being friendly and helpful. The staff is always happy to see me, making me want to go back for treatment. If you are looking for a new dental office, I strongly recommend The Center of Contemporary Dentistry.

Steve Wellmann

Very expensive!!! Charge far higher for services than insurance allows. Recommends services at far more frequent intervals than insurance will cover - so much so that insurance co requests second opinion on any major services, and requests payment in advance before submitting charges to insurance.

Raman Patel

Great people and excellent work. I Highly recommend this office. My family has always had a good experience and really good care.

James Burner

Rating Woohoo! As good as it gets! All changes saved I have always been cautious with going to the dentist office because in the past I had a very bad experience at Aspen Dental, that pretty much scarred me from ever wanting to see a dentist. I will not go into details because this is not a post to talk negative about Aspen....Even though I could probably write a book about my experience in that office. When I first stepped foot into Dr Patel's office at The Center for Contemporary Dentistry, it honestly felt like a Spa, its a beautiful building and you could tell that someone was passionate to have the patient feel at home and comfortable when going to the dentist. The staff is super friendly and very funny, and knowledgeable. I now see both hygienists, Anna and Angela, for my cleanings on a regular basis and I could not be more happy with the services they provide. I have also recently had a filling done by Dr. Patel, and he actually did it without any Novocain and it was a deep 3 surface filling and I couldn't have been more comfortable during the procedure. He even took the time to go over my X rays that day, and create a treatment plan for me and which he explained in detail and answered all my questions. He is even a huge sports fan! So it was like having my best friend doing teeth work on me.......But with a P.H.D lol. There is also Dr. Manisha Patel, who is his wife, and just hearing her talk to patients while i am checking out or going to my room for treatment, she is so passionate and sincere sounding. I have nothing but trust and happiness with this practice, and if you are reading this and have chose to go to this office, I hope your experience is just as grand as mine. Best,

After ten years of avoiding the dentist due to fear and embarrassment of my oral health, I finally caved and came to see Dr M and Dr Jay. Both made me feel so comfortable immediately and Dr M didn't make me feel bad at all about the state of my mouth. I also had the pleasure of meeting Dr Donald Gass, who is their oral surgeon. I was terrified of getting my wisdom teeth out but I barely felt a thing and I was awake the whole time! Honestly I think he's a wizard. I would recommend this office to ANYONE but if you're afraid of the dentist you honestly won't find a friendlier, more welcoming staff than at the Center for Contemporary Dentistry!

They are really wonderful people and helped me so much. I had never been to the dentist and they were paitent and kind with me and pointed me in the right direction. Can't give them a 5 star because I thought their prices were a little high and they couldn't take my insurance unfortunately.

Brittany Adams

I have had bad experiences with dentists in the past, but I came to Dr. Patel for help with so much success! The whole staff is so friendly and helpful! Everyone is upfront with cost and supportive! I even got aroma therapy and a neck pillow for comfort. I have found the best Dentist office

Lisa Goodwin

I first found the Center for Contemporary Dentistry because they offered sedation. I have really bad anxiety due to past experiences. However, Dr. Jay is so highly skilled and personable, I felt at ease putting my teeth in his care. I haven't needed any sort of anxiety remedy and I have had cleanings, fillings, and a crown done so far. He is putting me on a path of wellness for my teeth. So grateful to find this awesome place!!!! Thanks Dr. Jay

It was my first time going to The Center for Contemporary Dentistry, but all the staff gave me a warmed welcome and made me feel like i have been going for years. I went to get some fillings done and they were quick, easy, looked and felt great as well! The doctors really know what their doing and how to treat a patient. I will definitely be going back!

Sue George

became a new patient here recently. Much less expensive than my previous dentist. Staff is incredibly friendly and respectful. Very impressed with both doctors. Would highly recommend.
