Featured Reviews

The team at Aspen Dental in North Smithfield is absolutely amazing. I mad an emergency appointment for a tooth infection, i ended up needing a tooth extraction. I explained to them how nervous I was and they talked me through every step of the way. They made me feel so comfortable and assured. I will definitely be using them as my primary dentist!

My teeth and breath smells much better ever since I came here. Furthermore, Jenny is the most kindest and funniest dentist ever.

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.

Root canal in North Smithfield, RI

If you’re dealing with ongoing tooth pain or infection, a root canal may be the recommended treatment. At Aspen Dental in North Smithfield, our care team provides root canal treatment close to home—so you don’t have to wait to feel relief.

What is a root canal?

A root canal is an endodontic treatment that cleans infection inside your tooth so we can save it instead of taking it out. If left untreated, the pulp that has nerves or tissue may die as a result of infection. Left untreated, an infected tooth can cause damage and lead to other issues. At Aspen Dental, your comfort is our priority at every step—we’ll explain everything and keep you comfortable throughout the process. If cost is what’s holding you back, don’t delay your visit—we accept most insurances and financing options—so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
