A Westerly Dental Practice Serving Families for Generations
Drs. Woodward, Kaufman, and Jutla are more than dentists in Westerly, RI—they’re familiar faces, trusted names, and for many families, they’ve been part of the story for decades.
Wells Street Dental’s roots in this community stretch back over 120 years. Patients who sat in our chairs as kids now bring their own families. That kind of continuity isn’t accidental, it’s built on consistent care, honest conversations, and a team that genuinely knows your name.
Comprehensive Dental Care in Westerly, RI
Whatever your smile needs, Wells Street Dental offers the full range of services to keep it healthy — from your first cleaning to your most complex restorations.
General & Preventive Dentistry
Our preventive care includes thorough exams, professional cleanings, periodontal therapy, nightguards, and a modern approach to cleaning that goes well beyond the standard routine. Gum health is a real indicator of what’s happening in the rest of your body, and our hygienists take that seriously at every appointment.
Restorative Dentistry
A damaged or missing tooth doesn’t have to stay that way. Our restorative services, including dental crowns, bridges, dentures, tooth extractions, root canal therapy, and full mouth restoration, are designed to bring your teeth back to full strength and function.
Dental Implant Restorations
Once your implant is placed by a specialist or oral surgeon, our team handles the final restoration—the crown, denture, or bridge that gives your smile its natural look and feel. We work closely with implant surgeons to make the transition seamless for you.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Small changes can make a real difference in how you feel about your teeth. We offer porcelain veneers, take-home whitening, composite bonding, and tooth recontouring. Honest options for patients who want to refine what they already have, without the hard sell.
Emergency Dentistry
Tooth pain doesn’t wait, and neither do we. Same-day emergency appointments are available for both new and existing patients. Whether you’re dealing with a severe toothache, a broken tooth, a lost crown, or a dental infection that can’t wait until tomorrow.
Modern Technology for More Comfortable Dental Care
Our CEREC technology lets us design and deliver crowns in a single visit: no temporary crown, no second appointment.
Digital impressions replace the messy physical molds most patients dread.
Our hygiene team uses Cavitron ultrasonic scalers for a deeper, more precise clean.
And coming soon: Overjet AI diagnostics, which helps our team identify concerns with greater accuracy before small issues become larger ones.
Insurance & Financing Made Simple
Good dental care should be accessible. Here’s how we make it work for you. Have questions about your coverage? We offer a complimentary benefits check for new patients.
