Dr. Richard Seltenrich

Dr. Seltenrich brings a unique perspective to dentistry, having worked for several years as a licensed Massachusetts architect before pursuing his dental career. He earned his Bachelor of Arts from Yale University and his Master of Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania before completing his Doctor of Dental Medicine at the University of Louisville School of Dentistry. He has been with Rowley Family Dental and working alongside Dr. Shealy for 10 years.

What drew Dr. Seltenrich to dentistry was the opportunity to blend art and science, designing and constructing solutions in a compassionate way to help patients heal from oral health problems. His goal is to make patients as comfortable and informed as possible, taking time to answer questions and explain treatments thoroughly. He tailors care to each patient's priorities to achieve the best outcomes, and his greatest reward is hearing patients say, "Wow, that was easy!"

Outside the office, Dr. Seltenrich spends his time trying to keep up with his three boys, embracing adventure through hiking New Hampshire's 4000 Footers, trail running, and mountain biking. His hands-on nature extends to endless home construction projects, including his recent building of a backyard sauna!
