George C. Solanek, DDS
Dr. George C. Solanek, DDS, is a co-owner of Amoskeag Urgent Dental Care of New Hampshire and the neighboring Amoskeag Family Dentistry. He has served patients in the greater Manchester community for many years and played a central role in developing New Hampshire’s first dedicated urgent dental care practice.
Dr. Solanek moved from Romania to the United States with his family as a young child and was raised in the Manchester area. He attended the Dalhousie University Faculty of Dentistry in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. After completing his dental education, he returned to Manchester to begin his clinical career and serve the community in which he grew up.
Throughout his career, Dr. Solanek has developed extensive experience in surgical, endodontic, implant, and restorative dentistry. Dental implant treatment is a significant part of his practice, and he provides both implant surgery and the restorative care needed to complete treatment. He particularly enjoys complex cases involving dental implant placement and restoration, root canal therapy, difficult extractions, extensive restorative treatment, or a coordinated plan to address multiple dental concerns.
Dr. Solanek understands that many patients arrive in pain, feel anxious about dental treatment, or have postponed care for many years. His approachable personality, sense of humor, and ability to explain complicated dental problems in understandable terms help patients feel more comfortable and confident about their treatment decisions.
Committed to continuing education, Dr. Solanek regularly studies advancements in dental implant treatment, surgical techniques, endodontics, restorative dentistry, dental materials, and technology. He believes that combining clinical experience with modern dental technology allows him to provide efficient, thoughtful, and individualized care.
Dr. Solanek finds particular satisfaction in helping patients with challenging dental needs regain their oral health and confidence. Whether a patient requires treatment for an immediate problem, dental implant care, or a comprehensive plan for long-term treatment, he works closely with the clinical teams at both Amoskeag practices to help ensure that the patient receives appropriate and coordinated care.
Outside the office, Dr. Solanek enjoys traveling, staying active, and spending time with his wife, Claudia, and their family.
I hadn't been to the dentist in a while and since nothing hurt, I figured everything was fine. Boy was I wrong! I woke up one day with so much pain so I called the good folks at Urgent Dental Care and they got me in immediately. I had a big cavity and infection on one of my molars and thought I was going to lose the tooth, but they were able to fix it with a root canal and crown all in the same day! The procedure was surprisingly painless and the staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. I came back another day for a cleaning and they found and fixed a few more cavities. A great team and a great office for everything you need.
