Gentle Dental Manchester Reviews

    J Cazie

    Manchester, NH

    This is the best dentist in town and likely in the State of NH. They listen, address with a plan, keep you in the loop, are gentle and caring, and fair when it comes to financial matters. They were the only dentist after three to provide me a good final solution to my dental concern. Visit them, you won’t be disappointed, probably surprised. Thank you very much!

    I had a bit of a dental emergency and I got in right away, not having ever been there before. The staff was so pleasant and seemed so caring. Dr Norton took great care of me and explained my situation thoroughly. I highly recommend them.

    As someone who a huge fear of dentists I would like to say that going to Gentle Dental was the best choice. They are so kind and compassionate and it helps ease some of my fear of the dentists in general. They were warm welcoming and understanding. They went above and beyond to help me stay relaxed and they listened to what I had to say. I can honestly say that I'll be back and be happy to see them at the next visit.

Oral Surgery Services We Offer in Manchester

Dental Implants

For patients missing one or more teeth, dental implants provide a permanent, natural-looking replacement that also helps preserve jawbone health, something bridges and dentures cannot do on their own. Our Manchester team handles implant placement as part of a coordinated plan with your restorative dentist, covering everything from single-tooth implants to full-arch and full-mouth solutions. We evaluate your bone density and gum health upfront so your implant plan is built to last.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom teeth that are impacted, crowded, or causing pain are removed on-site at our Manchester office. We evaluate their positioning through imaging before your procedure, so you know what to expect, whether that involves a straightforward extraction or a more involved surgical removal for teeth that have not fully emerged. Sedation is available to help keep the experience comfortable.

Tooth Extractions

Beyond wisdom teeth, we perform extractions for teeth that are severely decayed, fractured, infected, or too damaged to restore with a filling, crown, or root canal. When multiple extractions are needed, such as before dentures or a full-arch implant, our Manchester team carefully plans the sequence to minimize discomfort, reduce visits, and support faster healing.

Bone Grafting

When the jawbone has thinned due to tooth loss, gum disease, or a long-worn denture, bone grafting rebuilds the foundation needed to support a future dental implant. This is often a necessary step before implant placement, and our Manchester office handles it as part of your overall implant plan, helping your treatment stay coordinated rather than split across providers.

Sinus Lifts

For upper-jaw implants where the sinus cavity sits too close to the bone, a sinus lift adds the bone volume needed to support the implant securely. Our team evaluates whether this procedure is appropriate for your case during your implant consultation.

Oral Pathology and Soft Tissue Procedures

Our Manchester team also evaluates and treats oral lesions, growths, and other soft tissue concerns that may require a biopsy or minor surgical care, in addition to standard extractions and implant procedures.

Sedation Options

Patients who feel anxious about oral surgery have access to a range of sedation options, from local anesthesia to deeper sedation for more involved procedures. We discuss what may be appropriate for your specific treatment, medical history, and comfort level during your consultation, so you know what to expect on the day of your procedure.

Conditions and Situations We Treat

Patients typically visit our Manchester oral surgery team for:

  • Missing teeth that need implant-based replacement
  • Impacted or painful wisdom teeth
  • Severely decayed, fractured, or infected teeth that cannot be restored
  • Jawbone loss that must be rebuilt before implant placement
  • Preparation for dentures, bridges, or full-arch restorations
  • Suspicious oral lesions or growths that require evaluation

If you are unsure which category applies to you, that is what the consultation is for. Our team will examine your mouth and recommend an appropriate path forward.

  3. The Procedure: Your oral surgery is performed according to your personalized treatment plan, with sedation options available when appropriate.
  4. Recovery and Follow-Up: We provide clear aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up visits to monitor healing, address concerns, and confirm that your recovery is progressing as expected.
