Derry Dental Associates

I have been to a hand full of dentists, some have been big chains and others were a private practice. I have to say it’s been hard to find a great dentist, but I recently tried Derry Dental and I can honestly say I found a keeper. For my initial appointment I had a comprehensive exam and cleaning. My hygienist Kris was so friendly and even though I really don’t take the best care of my teeth she did a great job telling me the areas to focus on with out making me feel like a idiot. Dr. Erik has to be the best dentist I have ever been to before. At my initial exam he actual spent a good amount of time showing me my x-​rays and really explaining what needed to be done and why. I never took care of my teeth when I was young and had to get a lot of work done to get my simile back. Most of that work was done at prior practices and was painful and time consuming. Dr. Erik put the finishing touches and even though I was very nervous I felt no pain and he was very timely. Dr. Erik was very thorough and informed me of every step along the way. I can say after my first appointment I had a small list of work that needed to get done and this is the first practice that wasn’t pushy about getting the follow up work done. They explained the importance of what needed to be done and in what order. The assistants are also very organized and knowledgeable. Overall the staff here is top notch. Thanks Derry Dental for my !!!

The female Dr. Young is a butcher. She is also very rude and just a crabby, bitchy person in general. She forced my mouth open when I couldn’t open it any more on my own because of where she was jabbing me with the needle. She performed a wisdom tooth extraction without me being entirely numb and then complained when I was crying out in pain. She filled me with so much Novocain that my neck was numb and I was having a hard time breathing. When it was complete, she and her assistant barely went over care and didn’t care if I was feeling ok afterwards. They let me walk out and drive home… even though I could feel and knew I looked like I was ready to pass out.
Before she started all the work that needed to be done, I wasn’t sure if I could stay for the entire appointment because of a work call I had to be on. She then told me «One way or another this is going to happen».
Afterwards, from a friendly neighbor in town, I heard a horror story about her drilling through a kids’ tooth and then proclaiming «oh well, I guess the insurance company is going to pay me more for that one».

Great doctor. Too bad the office staff can’t get their act together. Thought I had an appointment this morning but just learned it was canceled when I walked into the office. It seems I had a balance of 63 dollars and I’m not worthy of keeping an appointment for or even a phone call to let me know. Never mind the hundreds I’ve spent out of pocket. Thanks for wasting my time.

Dr. Erik Young is the best! I’ve been a patient for a year since recently moving to the area. The staff is so nice and helpful and the office is clean and modern. They keep a really good schedule, and get you in and out as quickly as possible. Dr. Young recently recommended getting my wisdom teeth removed, and I was quite nervous about going through with it, but he was great! The customer service is always amazing, and I always leave happy and pain free! And they have great samples :)

No one likes going to the dentist, but Derry Dental takes the sting out of a visit to the dentist.
The office is very clean and modern. They have all of the most recent technology and tools available so as to make you as comfortable as possible and to ensure a quick, virtually pain free visit.
The customer service is outstanding. They went so far as to text me to wish me a happy birthday and not once, but twice, they were able to squeeze me in for an emergency appointment. After my appointment, I received a follow up text to inquire as to how I was feeling.
They are wonderful about working with your insurance so you can avoid any hidden surprises.
The office staff are all very caring and friendly. The Dr’s are kind and compassionate. I would and have, recommend Derry Dental to anyone in need of a dentist.

Nicely appointed office with several workstations for patients. All of the staff members are super nice, the office is extremely clean and they are usually right on time. They are very good at working with your insurance company to get authorizations before any major work is to take place leaving you with less out of pocket spending. They give out as samples a very nice toothbrush which retails for over $ 4.00 not those crappy toothbrushes which I always wondered if they came from Oriental Trading which most dentists give out with their name printed on it.
I have been a Patient for several years and they don’t try to make you pay for treatments that you don’t need. They steered me away from Veneers which are over $ 10K telling me that it would be a waste since I grind my teeth while sleeping.

A decent practice, perhaps — if you don’t have young children. I came in with my kids recently and was told that my middle son (who has special needs) could not «make noise like that» inside the office. There was nothing to keep children entertained (no toys, tables, books, etc.) in the waiting room, and it was difficult keeping my youngest from running into adjacent rooms with other patients in them (an inevitability since it’s difficult to keep a hand on one child while trying to discuss your other child’s X-​rays at the same time). The impression that I got was that this office was NOT equipped to deal with small children (most especially those with special needs), and so our family was forced to look much further for a pediatric dentistry that actually specializes in treating kids. I wish we’d been made aware of this when we scheduled the appointment in the first place — that way we wouldn’t have wasted the trip!

Visiting the dentist isn’t a fun thing to do. I have to say this business is positive, proactive and just plain nice.
I can only say good things about this location. So run away from Aspen Dental. Come to a place where they will monitor and correct.

Dr. Eric Young is the best! He does great work and is very patient.
