Schell Thomas G, DMD

Schell and Noble is a great family dentist office. I’ve gone there since I was a kid and now my 5 year old daughter does too. I have never ever had a bad experience and always leave feeling like I have brand new teeth. The hygienists and dentists are all so friendly and so good with kids too. My daughter begs to go get her teeth cleaned now. I recommend this office to everyone who asks about dentists in the area.

I was a patient at this practice for about a year. I’m pretty happy with my experience here.
I was Dr Brown’s patient (who has since moved away from the area) and was pretty happy with his work (no later complications, nice interactions), and the way I was treated by both the clinical and administrative staff.
I visited the office once after Dr Brown moved, and saw Dr Noble. Overall, good experience. I was surprised later, after I moved away fro NH, that I received a bill for some services that I was told in the office are covered by my insurance, but were not. I called and complained and they just waived it (~$ 100-​$ 150). It was big surprise to me, as it did NOT match the «greedy dentist» sterotype I had in mind.
If you are in the area temporarily (like me) for training at Dartmouth, and don’t know where to go for dental service, I recommend this practice as I had a good experience, especially compared to similar practices in large cities.

Dr. Schell performed the most thorough oral exam on me that I’ve ever had. He must have spent close to an hour going through my mouth, and evaluating my teeth, bite, gums, and upper airway.
Dr. Schell has performed a few repairs on my teeth, and was quite craftsmanlike. His Dental Hygiene staff are very thorough and very good.
Dr. Schell is an attentive listener and seems sincerely concerned about your health. He has a high level of interest and expertise in Sleep Medicine.
Dr. Schell is one of only a few dentists on the staff at Dartmouth-​Hitchcock Medical Center.
I highly recommend Dr. Schell.

I am writing this review on good faith. I live in Los Angeles. Whenever I have a question regarding dental services, or pricing I consult Dr. Schell who I have known for years. He is always very knowledgeable and fair in his advice. Particularily when my husband had an issue with his tooth. It has been invaluable to me to have his expertise available to me. Due to economics and insurance issues, I got behind on my own dental maintainence, but a recent tooth ache proved to me the importance of dental care, and the value of a good dentist. I found my LA dentist on Unilocal.I hope you trust my recommendation and give Dr. Schell a visit. Don’t make the mistake i did– run don’t walk to the dentist. Especially Dr. Schell, he will be your friend, professional and courteous. I just wish he made housecalls to LA.

I really liked Dr. Schell! He took good care of my chompers, and even repaired the tooth I broke at Murphy’s (see the Murphy’s review) and you would never know the bottom ¹⁄₃ of my tooth is fake! Well, now you know, but you wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t told you.
His hygienists were cool and for the first time ever explained why flossing daily is so important. I then started to floss daily. Dr. Schell wins!
The staff does sorta rush you through and the end of the visit is awkward. Do I stand here? Do I pay? What do I do? Oh, please, somebody tell me I’m so LOST! Eventually they tell you to stand HERE and pay THIS.
I also got my teeth whitened with the system where they make a mold of your teeth and the goop goes in the trays that are made from the mold. My trays were uncomfortable and I went back in and they adjusted them. And the goop made my teeth hurt and made me ultra sensitive to sound, which is weird, but I’ve met somebody else who had that happen to so I am NOT the only one. Anyway, the system worked well and my teeth are white as new snow in Enfield Center. Yay!
I also thought it was cool that Dr. Schell was, at least when I saw him, on faculty at Dartmouth. Fancy.
He did send my records quite expediently when I moved and changed dentists, and that was very nice.
I would see Dr. Schell again, if I ever moved to NH again, which will NEVER ever ever happen. So maybe you can see Dr. Schell instead.

This dental office, like many, is a collective practice. You most likely won’t see Dr. Schell but some other dentist/​hygienist there.
I was not impressed with the folks there. The appt staff felt rushed all the time. I felt the dentist that I got was a bit pushy to get some dental work done.
The dental cleaning was pretty subpar, both my wife and I used separate hygienists there and neither or us were happy with the results — the cleaning wasn’t really clean (I suppose we should have made a thorough check before we left).
