Santavicca Dental Professionals

Exceptional service, fast diagnosis which allowed my immediate dental problem to be mitigated...ie: no more pain !!! A winner!!!

Everyone at Santavicca Dental are wonderful! I went in for my new patient visit last week, they were organized, had my previous dental records ready, answered all my questions, great customer service , made sure I was comfortable, and much more. Everyone was friendly and professional. Felt like I had been a patient for many years from the moment I walked in, very easy to schedule appointments, very well organized group that all work really well together! My wife had the same experience that I had but on a different day. We both highly recommend Santavicca Dental to anyone!

I had a really good time at Santavicca Dental today! This was my first visit. The staff had finished my paperwork over the phone, so I was in the exam room with the X-ray technician in minutes. Once the X-rays were complete, my new dentist Vikram Shad, very gently examined my teeth and gums.
I received a treatment plan from the dentist and (from the office staff) an itemized printout of potential out-of-pocket costs for that proposed treatment.
I experienced great service, but much more importantly, the care was outstanding!

The dentist is very good, very knowledgeable. I referred me son to this guy too.

They were very impatient explaining what my appointment would entail, then they canceled my appointment without my knowledge because I was confused

Amy is awesome ! So thorough and pro- active about my dental health !

The first time I came to this practice was in 2018. I came in for a routine visit and cleaning. The dentist ordered comprehensive and additional x-rays that were outside of routine. The dentist failed to tell me this would not be covered under my dental plan. I was stuck with a bill that I then disputed and a credit was given to me. Recently, I went in for a routine cleaning. The hygienist decided to apply topical fluoride, but told me even though the topical fluoride would be outside of my dental coverage, that it could be submitted under Care Credit and covered and that I would not be responsible. A month later I get a bill for $170. After disputing the charge I was told there is nothing that can be done and that I'm stuck with the bill. This is the last time I will use this dental practice, I'll be finding another dentist. Be aware, if you come to this practice, it is likely you will have things done and additional tests or xrays/services performed that won't be covered by your insurance just to get an extra buck out of you. Don't come here, you won't want to waste your time disputing bills for things that you were told would be covered. Find another dental practice that has integrity and stands by their word.

Like many others, I do not enjoy going to the dentist. I’ve had my fair share of negative experiences in the past and that led me neglect my teeth. Well, I finally but the bullet and googled “Lebanon NH dentists” about 3 weeks ago. Thank god I chose to call Santavicca! They scheduled me for the next week and I was super anxious. The hygienist Steve was so nice, though. And I cannot (seriously CAN NOT) recommend Dr. Almetwali enough. She didn’t shame me. She was incredibly gentle with her exam and cleaning. None of that jabbing the tool into the soft spots on my teeth or aggressive poking around.
I went back yesterday to have 2 fillings. Who gets lucky enough to have a super nice hygienist and a hilarious assistant?! Thank you to Chris for putting me at ease and dealing with my awkwardness.
Dr. Almetwali, though…the real MVP. She really worked hard to save my tooth so I wouldn’t need a root canal, and I don’t! (Yay!) She took her time with her work and kept me updated as she was doing everything. She even showed me my tooth with a mirror after she had drilled it out and explained to me why she thinks I need a cap. I’ve never had a dentist do something like that. This is a person who clearly cares very much about the quality of her work and the comfort and level of understanding of her patients. I feel super lucky to have been scheduled with her and I will recommend her to everyone I know.
Extra perks: Chris put on chapstick for me partway through the fillings.
They hook you up with a sweet tempurpedic head rest during fillings.
They let me get up to use the bathroom, too :)

Thank you Steve, Chris, & Dr. Almetwali!

Had a broken tooth, they got me right in even though I wasn't an established patient. Did a temporary crown for a couple of weeks, while permanent one is being made. This was the most comfortable I've felt being in a dentist chair. Extremely patient, quick but thorough, super nice staff! Needless to say I'm becoming a patient! Highly recommend!!

The best dental practice in the upper valley! The doctors are very caring and make sure you are both comfortable and understand what is happening throughout your visit and the hygienists go above and beyond to make sure that you are well taken care of. The staff is very friendly and caring. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a caring and professional dentist.
