Patient Testimonials

LIFE CHANGING! I cannot thank my team more. All I want to do is smile.

I’ve been going to Dr. Turk at Portsmouth Dental Care for over three years, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about him and his team! Dr. Turk has a great sense of humor and is genuinely caring, which always makes going to the dentist a much more comfortable experience. Over the years, I’ve had quite a bit of dental work done, including implants, crowns, and fillings, and I’ve always felt like I was in great hands. His entire staff is incredibly kind, welcoming, and makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk through the door. I highly recommend Portsmouth Dental Care to anyone looking for a dentist who truly cares about his patients. Thank you, Dr. Turk, for everything you’ve done for me and my family over the years! We truly appreciate you! ❤️

Great caring and very professional staff from top to bottom. The best care.

From the great team at the front counter to the expert Dental Team led by the wonderful Dr. Turk. Open SEVEN DAYS A WEEK !!!!! FANTASTIC PRACTICE and ya know what they say ... PRACTICE makes PERFECT

I have been going to Dr. Turk for years! Every time I go, it’s always a pleasant experience. Things are always explained clearly and done an extremely professional manner. I’ve always been very very happy with everything. Thank you everybody :-)

I love this dentist office, especially Dr Turk and his usual team. They are so kind and attentive and they really care about their patients. I had to go back in this evening because I popped a temporary crown out and they fixed it promptly and with so much grace for me because it really was my fault it popped off, it about brought me to tears. I will always recommend this office

I’m so happy I went to Portsmouth Dental! Everything I needed done was done correctly and quickly. Professional, And friendly.

I can't say enough about the amazing team at Portsmouth Dental Care. I've had teeth for as long as I can remember, and I've never had a dental team so attentive, friendly, and thorough. I've had the privilege to work with the dental and orthodontic team, and I hope everyone who has teeth finds their way here.

Dr turk and his staff are the best. Always so friendly and knowledgeable. They take alot of time to explain what is going on.

I have been going to Portsmouth Dental for 50+ years! The founding dentist and his dentist partner who subsequently joined him have ALWAYS been great providers, and, the new ones they have brought on are equally as good. The hygienists and the rest of the staff are also great. I highly recommend this dental practice!! BTW, for what it’s worth, I am a retired RN who practiced for 40+ years.

I have had crowns/cleanings/two bridges replaced in past 5 years and have received excellent care each time!!

Affordable prices/costs and great service and great team

I have been a patient at Portsmouth Dental Care since 2025, and the level of professionalism and kindness has been consistent from day one. From the reception team who schedules appointments to the clinical staff, everyone treats you with respect and genuine care. Some people may say they are just doing their job. However, that level of care is not universal, and it certainly is not guaranteed everywhere. It is noticeable here. On February 14, 2026, I had an extensive dental appointment that required significant work. Dr. Aria, his assistant Ashley, and dental hygienist Esther took excellent care of me. They were not only professional, but they communicated clearly throughout the entire process. They explained each procedure, what to expect, and how to care for myself afterward. That transparency makes a real difference. Portsmouth Dental Care truly lives up to its name. The care begins with scheduling and continues all the way through treatment. I originally found Portsmouth Dental Care while living in Portland in 2025. Even though I have since moved to Vancouver, I will continue making the drive because of their consistency, professionalism, and the trust they have earned. Thank you to the entire team for the work you do and the way you do it.

Staff are professional and provide excellent care and customer service.

Dr.Turk is the best. All staff are friendly and take great care of you! 100% recommend.

I saw Dr Aria and Ashley. Wonderful visit. I have neglected my oral health for a long time and was expecting judgement and lectures. They were incredibly kind in checking me out and providing me with options.

Dr. Aria, Ashley, and the front office staff went above and beyond to help a gal with chipped front teeth (night stress grinding!) feel great before her sister-in-laws wedding. They were quick to get me in for an exam followed by the dental work, offered a fair out of pocket price (with bonus polishing to “make sure I’d look my best”), and helped me plan for other services once my insurance kicks in. Dr. Aria and Ashley’s bedside manners were the best I’ve ever received at a dental office — so approachable and friendly. The clinic was recommended by two neighbors and I’m so glad I asked!

Who likes going to the dentist? Well when it comes to seeing Dr Turk, I do, his bedside manner is great as is his sense of humor. The staff is welcoming and efficient. If you fear the dentist check this clinic out! *My story, through most of my adult life I did not have the money for dental care nor did I have the insurance coverage, let alone the ability to take time off for care. In my early twenties (I'm now in my mid 40's) I had a drug problem that destroyed my teeth. I kept moving forward with a closed mouth smile. At one point I had Kaiser insurance and went for an evaluation and the dentist and her assistant left me feeling like there was no hope and to listen to the 2 of them talk about how fowl my mouth was... I left and never returned....continued to move forward with a closed mouth smile. Things changed two years ago; when, I met Dr. Turk (out side of his clinic) and we got to talking and laughing. A few months later I had SEVERE tooth pain, so unbearable that action had to be taken on an emergency level. My employer reminded me about the interaction that I had with Dr. Turk and suggested that I reach out to him, I did. They got me in PROMPTLY and TOOK ACTION, I could function again. While in his chair he made jokes that put me at ease, he and his dental assistant made conversation that did not leave me feeling excluded, nor did they make me feel like an inferior human. I continued with my life strategy of delay until in crisis and a year later I had another rotten tooth that had me screaming and writhing in pain, once again he took action. I still had rotten teeth and still would smile with my mouth closed. Yesterday I went in for the first of what I would call the restoration of my smile. My front upper teeth. I am looking in the mirror and crying tears of joy as I can pull my cheeks into a full toothy smile. I do not know how to thank Dr. Turk enough! (Good thoughts, Good words, Good Deeds)

I love this place it’s fantastic. They take good care of you and they have always done a great job on any work I’ve had done

Always had a great experience. Dr. Turk did an amazing job on my crown. Thank you for always being thorough!

The team at Portsmouth Dental is outstanding. Merima and Dr. Turk are exceptional professionals who truly excel at caring for their patients. I wholeheartedly recommend them!

Updated on 4/2/2025 Well, no one ever said Wisdom Teeth extraction would be easy or fun. My healing was interrupted by a few complications, no one's fault. However, Doctor Hunt was there the whole step of the way. Even fit me in on his day off to help. Communication with him has been awesome and I feel as though I'm on my way to a wonderful recovery......bring on the onion rings(in 2 weeks). Thanks to the entire team and especially Doctor Hunt. To find a dentist office that is open on weekends and open til 7pm is so rare. My first appointment was: scheduled with ease, very thorough and I left with a full understanding of what the dentist was recommending. Love this place.

This place is awesome and amazing! They really take such good care of me. Definitely recommend them!!

Amazing they are gentle with your teeth and they care best dentists buy far thank you guys for being awesome

I am a high maintenance patient. I have to be medicated to have any work done. I have to have nitrous just to get my teeth cleaned. I cannot express how amazing this place is. How wonderful Dr Turk is. This facility is dedicated to patience and kindness, and I can’t recommend them more. If you are of faintheart, this is your home. Thank you thank you Portsmouth !

These people were absolutely amazing!!! I got my braces done here and I love my new smile. The first place that I went to told me that I had to remove two of my good teeth and I left there office disappointed because I wasn’t going to remove any of my good teeth. This place made it possible.They straightened my teeth without extracting any of my teeth and I love the results. The staff is super friendly and efficient would recommend this place to anyone.

Been coming here since 2010-Rose and Dr. Turk are the best! They really care about their patients, are funny and personable, and make the visit as easy and comfortable as possible, even when needing major work done. I highly recommend!

Every staff member has been so great. My dentist is the best so far and so nice including his assistant. Love it here.

I’ve now visited three times—twice for cleaning and once for crowns. Everyone here is so friendly and welcoming. They make everything easy to understand and are great about explaining insurance coverage vs. out of pocket. Scheduling is easy and I never feel like I’m “in trouble” at the dentist (you totally know what I mean). They give helpful feedback without it feeling like a lecture. I’m glad I found them!

definitely will visit again. They’re friendly , knowledgeable, and trustworthy!!
