Perfect Smiles in Seekonk. They are awesome. I had severe anxiety about getting my teeth taken care of after many many years of neglect but they have been just great. Free nitrous if you request it. You can watch TV while in the heated massage chair while they work on you. It is awesome. haha I had a ton of work done and only one more procedure left to do. The only time I felt any kind of pain was the day after an extraction. Didn't feel any pain with the crowns/onlays I had done.

I second this. They specialize in people with anxiety with dentistry, they have a spotless facility and the staff is fantastic. They take Care Credit and most insurance policies. I love it because I watch TV in a massage chair during all appointments. I won’t go anywhere else. 👍🏼

It really is pretty great. I only have minor anxiety about it these day but once I'm in the chair it's all good. I go for cleanings every 3 months or so. I get the same hygienist each visit and she's great. I'm deaf (wear hearing aids) and she makes sure I understand everything during the visit. It really helps ease my anxieties over it. Been going there 4 years now.

Yup, jumping on board this recommendation here. They even offer stronger sedation than nitrous, if your anxiety is that severe (not free, but depending on discomfort levels it’s worth it for some people!). Everyone I’ve seen here has been incredibly friendly and soothing, very respectful of people who are uncomfortable at the dentist and they make every effort to make it as comfortable as possible.

Thank you so much for your comment! The nitrous is a huuuuge plus. Not to delve too deeply, but my last trip to the dentist I got a call that my dad had died while I was waiting for novocaine to kick in, and had to roll through the rest of that insane day with a completely numb and drooling mouth lol. I haven’t had novocaine since then and was really trying to avoid it if possible, so this is great. Sounds like exactly the vibe I was searching for. Thank you again!
