    We have been with Winnisquam Dental since we moved to the area in 2004 and the experience has always been fantastic experience overall. The front desk and support staff are incredibly helpful, making scheduling and check-in a breeze with their efficient and warm approach. The dentists are friendly and understanding, taking the time to explain everything without rushing. A special shoutout to our hygienist Kate—she has turned what used to be an anxiety-ridden chore for us into a comfortable and even enjoyable cleaning session with her gentle technique and reassuring demeanor. Highly recommend this practice for anyone seeking quality dental care!

    Been with hygienist for many years. She knew I was having an operation that might preclude me from having cleaning up to six months. She called, stayed past her normal time to leave , and cleaned my teeth in case there would be a gap in my normal schedule. Above and beyond and very much appreciated.

    Staff is very friendly. Hygienist was super informative & very gentle doing the cleaning. The Dr. reviewed my file & preformed a general exam of the mouth & lymph nodes. I feel very comfortable with their care. Also enjoyed the wild life, raccoons, that made an appearance! Fun!

    Dr. Knighton and the entire team at Winnisquam Dental are great! I have always had anxiety built around going to the dentist, but they make everything as painless as possible and explain exactly what your dental plan looks like. We are lucky to have such a great group here in the Lakes Region!

    We have been with Winnisquam Dental since 2004 and have been very pleased with the practice. We have always been warmly welcomed in a clean environment. We’ve seen many of the dental hygienists and have recommended them to others. We’ve had great experiences with both Dr. Kris and Dr. Blackwelder, they have worked together with us to come up with treatment plans. Communication has been top notch!

    From the minute we walked in the door it was a warm and welcoming visit. We started our appt on time, and Kris came out and introduced herself to both myself and my son. I’ve never seen that in my many visits to a dentist! She was very kind and thorough with any thing she discussed or even did during my sons exam. He was a little timid about going but she had him laughing the whole time! We are lucky to have found such a comfortable environment!

    The folks at Winnisquam Dental are so friendly, professional, and dedicated to what they do! Kate has been cleaning our teeth for years & we just adore her! Both of the Dr.'s have taken care of all of us at one time or another, and they are always wonderful, keeping the experience as pain free & speedy as possible. Mike, at the front desk, is so helpful & kind, and always has a smile on his face! We are lifetime patients for sure!
