Meet the Doctor
Committed to Excellence in General and Cosmetic Dentistry
MASTER, ACADEMY OF GENERAL DENTISTRY
Dr. LaRocque is "the dentist who you want to see". He is truly the dentist to other dentists, to surgeons, physicians, dental specialists, dental lab technicians, dental office staff and hygienists. All of these professionals are patients, and they also regularly refer to this office based upon their first-hand knowledge of Dr LaRocque's skill and ability in comparison to what they see in other offices. Dr. LaRocque takes great pride in this fact, and he offers the same level of excellence to all patients in his office. It is a good place to be a patient. Excellence is both a passion and a pursuit in this office.
Many patients love it here just because Dr. LaRocque is simply superb with injections of local anaesthetics. "He does not hurt you". "You don't even feel the Injection". These are just a few of the daily comments spoken by our patients.
If you need to invest in treatment to enhance or improve your dental health, or just to maintain what you already have, you have found the right office. Our services are second to none, our fees are fair and comparable. Why not have the finest care for yourself and your family?
Dr LaRocque has been voted by his peers as BEST OF THE NH GENERAL DENTISTS IN THE NH MAGAZINE in 2007, 2010, and 2011.
