Cosmetic dentistry in North Smithfield, RI

Kind, Caring, and Affordable I recently moved to Rhode Island and lost my dental insurance this month. Last night, I had unbearable tooth pain — I couldn’t lie down or sleep. First thing this morning, I called Aspen Dental, and the receptionist immediately scheduled an appointment for me at the earliest available time and nearest location. Everyone I met was kind and professional. The front desk staff and the X-ray technician were both friendly and caring. The facility was clean, and I noticed they use modern dental technology that I hadn’t seen before. Dr. Choi saw me after my X-rays. He carefully examined my teeth and confirmed what my hometown dentist had said — that my teeth were actually fine. I was shocked because the pain felt unbearable and I thought something was seriously wrong. Dr. Choi patiently explained his findings and strongly recommended getting a second opinion before removing any teeth. He assured me there was no infection, so instead of antibiotics, he prescribed pain medication that I could pick up at the nearby CVS. He also pointed out one tooth that might need a crown in the future. The dental hygienist was very understanding and decided not to perform a routine cleaning since I was clearly in a lot of pain, and she didn’t want to make me more uncomfortable. I only paid $29 for the X-ray and exam, and the pain medication cost just $3. I truly appreciate Dr. Choi’s honesty and professionalism — he spent almost an hour with me and clearly cared more about my health than money. While my husband and I were waiting for my prescription, he went over everything with me and agreed with Dr. Choi — both dentists confirmed that my teeth are actually fine. However, I was still experiencing a lot of pain. My husband suggested that it might be nerve pain rather than tooth pain, possibly caused by the whitening toothpaste I had recently been using. My husband recommended use Sensodyne Repair & Protect (without whitening) we used before to cover my teeth. I bought it right away at CVS and used it there, and within just a few minutes, I started to feel some relief. After taking one pain killer, I was finally able to get a few hours of sleep. It’s now been about eight hours, and I’m already feeling normal — without needing a second painkiller. Once my insurance starts in early 2026, I plan to return for regular cleanings for my husband and me, and to get the crown that Dr. Choi recommended. I’m very grateful for the kindness and compassion I received at Aspen Dental, and I’ll gladly recommend them to others.

Had to have a tooth pulled after having a weekend of immense tooth pain. The staff was super nice and sympathetic. Went in for a normal appointment and they made the decision to pull the tooth that day for me. They were so nice and friendly and took super good care of me when I was at my breaking point with that tooth. The pull only took 3 minutes. When I had a tooth pulled in the past I had a previous dentist that took over a half an hour to get it out, leaving behind shards that came out for weeks. This dentist was quick and efficient and was able to get the whole tooth out in one pull. Thank you again to the staff at this location for being so nice, friendly, sympathetic and caring to my situation!

Very happy with their services and what they did for me to compensate, my problem would do business with them again.For any other dental needs
