Our Story

Fifty years on Grove Street, two hundred on this corner

Peterborough Family Dental began in 1973 with a Navy dentist who drove up from Boston on nights and weekends. Today it is the oldest privately owned dental practice in the Monadnock region, still independent, still on Grove Street.

“I've been a patient of Dr. Rahim for ten years. The fact that I live two hours away is some measure of my esteem for his work. I have found him to be courteous, patient and thorough and I've been very pleased with the results. My dental hygienist, Wendy, has been great. I highly recommend this group.”

“Moe is an excellent hygienist. He spent enough time with me to explain what I needed and how we were going to get it done. He worked with my insurance company and with me to feel comfortable financially. Thank you 😊”

“I have been seeing Dr Rahim since we moved to Peterborough 5 years ago and am so impressed with him and his team. On a Saturday afternoon recently I had a crown break. I called the emergency number and Dr Rahim called back within 15 minutes. Amazingly he was in the office for an emergency and told me to come right in. Due to the state-of-the-art equipment they have in the office, he was able to replicate the tooth and within an hour I had a new crown - permanent (not temporary) at no charge. His assistant was wonderful – but I could say this about their entire staff. I highly recommend this practice!!”

“Dr. Rahim is hands down the best dentist in all of North America! One of the most gentle, caring professionals you could ever encounter. I will never choose another! Thank you Dr Rahim for making my experience tolerable.”

“Dr. Rahim has a wonderful quiet manner that would be calming to even the most hesitant dental patients. He has done several new crowns for me as well as a redone crown and all procedures have been carefully done and pain free. He always takes the time to explain what he is planning to do and shares the photos he takes of my mouth with me so everything he plans to do is made perfectly clear. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking a proficient and knowledgeable dentist. Everyone in the office is friendly and helpful, making the experience a pleasant one.”

“I became one of Dr. Rahim's patients when Dr. Hedstrom retired and am thankful to have had two exceptional dentists since moving to Peterborough more than 20 years ago. As other reviewers have noted, Dr. Rahim is incredibly kind and absolutely masterful in his work. Whether you are going in for a filling or a more extensive procedure, you know you are in great hands. To top it off, he is backed up by an equally exceptional staff. Everyone in the office makes you feel welcome the moment you arrive, the patient coordinators are always really helpful, and the hygienists and dental assistants are top notch. Thank you Michelle and Jayne for all of your care over the years.”

“I had a very positive experience at Peterborough Family Dental and Implant Center, specifically with Dr. Jasper Ainslie. I had been a long-standing patient at another practice. One day, the dentist called me into her office and sat me down. She had a very solemn demeanor. She said that she wanted to discuss my treatment plan. She said that in her opinion, I needed to have all my teeth removed and replaced with dentures. I was shocked. My immediate reaction was to get a second opinion. Her colleague recommended a dentist who was retiring but suggested I see 'the best dentist I know', Dr. Jasper Ainslie. I went to see Dr. Ainslie, and to make a long story short, he, with great skill, corrected all the problems in my mouth without removing a single tooth. I have since had many procedures performed by Dr. Ainslie, which have all been great and pain-free. Dr. Ainslie is more than a great dentist. He is a dental virtuoso! - George and Suzanne”

“Dr. Rahim is amazing! I was going on an Alaskan cruise with the family at Christmas time, and he got me a new pair of dentures, starting from scratch, in one week. Throughout the time of getting them fine tuned, he has been excellent and very responsive. He is the best!”

“I couldn't be happier with Dr Rahim and the staff. From our first meeting when he quickly saw me on an emergency basis (my front tooth (cap) came off) to my last appointment a few days ago, he is responsive, attentive and professional. He is clear in explaining my options and providing practical guidance for my dental care. I have recommended him to friends and will continue to do so as he is top-notch!”

“Dr. Rahim is a very skilled and experienced dental professional. And more than that, he is kind. From my first visit, he carefully listened to my concerns and then patiently and clearly explained my options, considering first my dental health, and then also acknowledging my concerns about appearance, time, and cost. He is very thoughtful when I am in the chair, checking to make sure I have no pain or discomfort. I highly recommend Dr. Rahim! He is one of the best!”

“The staff? Excellent. Hygienists? Friendly, great at their jobs. Dr? Answered all my questions, presently factually and realistically all of my options going forward, I look forward to working with them in the future as a new patient now.”

“So often we feel a terrible trepidation when we have to get dental work done. I have had my share of visits, and most recently for a bridge. I had such a comfortable experience, the care and professionalism shown by my dentist Dr. Rahim, his able assistant Jane and indeed all the office stay really helped in the entire process coming to a successful conclusion. Our dentists are vitally important to us, I am so happy we have the services of such a fine practice. I strongly recommend them, they will work with you till you feel comfortable.”

“The best dental experience that I have had. From routine to emergency care, Dr. Rahim and his staff have been outstanding. Recently I was in an accident and needed to be seen. Dr. Rahim for me into the schedule within a few hours of my call. The treatment plan was timely and there were no surprises. I could not be more pleased with the results.”
