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 wasnt 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. Ive 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 couldnt believe the wide array of services and treatments this one facility had to offer. I wouldnt 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 wouldnt 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, Its amazing how much of a difference empathy and compassion can make in a situation like this. You just dont 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 Id 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! Im very excited to see my end results. - Melanie

I have just recently become a customer of this office. My Brother is a customer there and is always so happy with the care this office and staff give that he made sure this was THE ONLY place to help fix and whiten my teeth! I could not believe how amazing every person in this office treats their patients. I started by phone and had never spoken with a friendlier staff. I was even happier when I met the dentists and their staff, and the care and personalities were above any office I have EVER been to. I was so impressed with everyone there and the care that was taken, that I brought BOTH my children to them the next week. My children could NOT stop talking about how FUN the dentist was. This was huge for a mom to hear since my youngest went in for his very FIRST visit being now 3 yrs. old. He Loved the glasses and the cookie at the end! My sincere thanks to every single person there for making the "Ever dreaded dental appts" now a positive experience and we LOOK foreward to coming regularly!

THIS OFFICE IS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!! i went in for my initail first patient appointment and they made me come back so the dentist has more time with me. So i went back two weeks later and she walked in and said i have 13 cavities and they may all need root canals. okay im in my early 20s so i went for a second opinion because i brush my teeth everyday so im not sure how this may have happened. it turns out i have 2 cavities that arent even that big. i think they tried to scare me into getting all these 13 cavities fixed before i need "root canals" so they could get approx $3,250 out of me because that was going to be the cost of this!!!!! They also told me they were very large and need IMMEDIATE attention. How horrible of them this is called MALPRACTICE!!!!!!!!!! I cant believe they would scare someone like this i left there in tears because i always take care of myself and this is what they tell me??!!! how horrible!! i do not recommend this office at all!!

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 hasnt seen such beautiful dentistry in his 30 years of practice. They also couldnt 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 dont realize how good we have it till its gone. Thank you Jay and Manisha. I am seriously considering flying back for my dental visits.

Boutique "Dentistry". I felt like an income opportunity rather than a patient needing dental services. All services would cost much more than than my insurance would provide. They are quick to provide information on credit care plans, whitening, expensive electric toothbrushes, extensive work, etc, but send you away with a dollar store toothbrush and a "warm chocolate chip cookie". Ooh. I was told by The Center for Contemporary Dentistry that I had 8 cavities to fill and needed all 4 wisdom teeth extracted. I did not have the work done (save for one extraction). Two years later, my new dentist laughed and said I need just 2 cavities filled, and NO extractions. Perhaps time corrected 6 cavities and fixed my wisdom teeth? Ha. The only wisdom was saving $3000 by going to a dentist who wasnt trying to sell me what I didnt need.
