Services
Dentistry is an incredible profession. Not only do we get to help keep people free from pain, but we help them feel better about themselves and their appearance. Not to mention, it's amazing to watch our young patients grow and mature. I really enjoy getting to know each person I care for, hearing about their lives and interests, listening to their stories and learning about their lives.
I love interacting with my patients, becoming a part of their lives, and making them feel comfortable during their visit. Because I work so closely with our patients, I get to know them and I really enjoy the friendships that develop. My job duties include providing preventive dental care, administering local anesthetics and nitrous oxide, performing periodontal treatments, and treatment planning.

In our office, we utilize the latest technology and finest materials, combined with the experience and expertise of our team to provide your family with the most comfortable, high-quality dentistry available. All of our patients receive our full attention and care, in addition to complete examinations and treatments plans.

The best dental experience I have ever had. A group of highly skillful and friendly professionals that are hard to find in the Seacoast area.

The older experienced dentists here are awesome as are the technicians. The younger dentists , if you are older only seem interested in or capable of pulling everything out and slapping in dentures.
Going to try aspen dental , my wife has had very good results there.

They fit me in right away for pain I was having from broken teeth. They needed extracting and took care of it at that first visit! It was pain free and the kindness of the dentist and hygienist put me at ease the entire way. I will never put off an appointment again now that I see JD Howard Dental!

I went in for my cleaning after I had to cancel one of my appointments. I have Christie regularly as my hygienist and she is amazing!!!She is always so attentive and caring and I always feel in the best hands when I have her taking care of my teeth!! Christie just did the most fantastic job... my teeth had some staining and I was feeling extremely self-conscious about it ....when I left the office my teeth were sparkling white!!! And I’m always relaxed when I’m sitting in her chair!

I cannot praise JD Howard enough for their time, consideration and hard work. At 32 weeks pregnant, getting a crown on a very sore tooth was not on my radar. Not only did they get me in a couple days later, but Dr. Dan and his assistant (20 weeks pregnant!) stood my entire procedure so I wouldn't have to be tipped back and risk harming my baby. It was quick, painless and I felt extra taken care of. I was so impressed! THANK YOU!

This is my favorite medical office of any kind that I've ever been to. Every time I go the staff is exceedingly friendly and courteous. They always make you comfortable, and are very knowledgeable about everything from your procedures to the insurance coverage. Appointments are always on time, too. I've never left there feeling unsure about costs or future plans/procedures. And seriously I'll say it again- the NICEST staff of any office ever!

My visit to J.D. Howard was excellent. They were thorough and explained everything. Especially friendly and I feel very honest. They didn't look for the most aggressive and unnecessary approach as some other bottom line dentists do. My wife and I both came for a second opinion and learned the other dentist's recommendations were ill advised. We will be happily changing to J.D. Howard.

I was on vacation when I chipped a tooth. I was so worried I would not find a dentist to help me as I would most likely be a "one time" patient. I was referred to JD Howard by another practice and I can't begin to say enough about the staff! Sasha on the phone was so understanding, compassionate and made me feel welcome from the beginning. Dr. Jack is who ultimately helped me with my tooth with the assistance of Tracy. He was kind, thoughtful and really listened. You can't even tell I had a chip! All I can say is I wish I lived in Hew Hampshire so I could use JD Howard

We took our son to his first dental appointment (he's one) and were so thrilled with the whole experience. Booking was easy, you can fill out your paperwork online in advance, they have a cool toy room, and everyone was so nice. The building and exam rooms are great. We will be coming back next year.

I've never had anything but a good experience here. I haven't had any dental work yet but as for the hygienists, they're tops. They cater to the dental wimp and they give me nitrous for a cleaning. Believe me, that's big. Highly recommended.

Unkind, uncompassionate, inflexible. Never more disappointed with a medical professional

Dr Josh is an excellent dentist and I wish I knew about him when I moved to Dover 25 yrs ago. He makes you feel very comfortable while sitting in the chair regardless of the procedure you're having done. I've had 3 crowns put on and all were made on site and installed that day. The staff is very friendly and quite knowledgeable regarding insurance. I strongly recommend Howard Dental.
