Dr. Joshua D. Howard, DMD

Dental care in Dover doesn’t have to involve a trip across town. Dr. Joshua D. Howard, DMD offers general and preventive services for patients who prefer staying closer to the central area. Routine cleanings, fillings, and basic extractions are handled here, along with the occasional crown or bridgework when needed. The practice sits at 375 6th St, a short walk from the Cochecho River’s east side, where the street grid tightens into a mix of older residences and professional offices.

Around here, dental visits tend to be treated as maintenance rather than emergencies. That means most appointments revolve around checkups, X-rays, and the kind of minor repairs that keep things from escalating. For those who’ve put off a filling or need a second opinion on a treatment plan, this is one of the nearer options without venturing toward Portsmouth or Rochester. The building itself is unassuming—no grand signage, just a standard storefront in a neighborhood where understatement is the default.

Dover’s downtown has its share of dental practices, but this one keeps its listing simple: no specialty claims, no cosmetic-focused pitches. When questions come up—about insurance, scheduling, or what to expect from a procedure—the phone is the quickest route. Reaching the office directly is as straightforward as calling (603) 749-9124, though the voicemail, like most in this area, gets checked within a day or two.

First-time visitors usually start with the map. Directions pull up easily, though the one-way stretch of 6th Street can confuse drivers who aren’t used to Dover’s layout. Locals know to park along the side streets—because in a town this size, you learn the shortcuts or you spend five extra minutes circling the block.
