What Sets Wells Street Dental Apart
Westerly’s Dental Home for Over 120 Years
Wells Street Dental has been caring for Westerly families for over 120 years. Patients who came here as children now bring their own families. The practice has changed and grown over that time—the commitment to thorough, honest, relationship-driven care has not.
Over 120 Years of Roots in Westerly
More than a century of continuous care in one community is not common. It means the practice has been part of Westerly through multiple generations of families, through the growth of the town, and through the kind of shared history that does not exist at a practice that opened five years ago.
The team here shows up beyond the office. The doctors coach local teams, serve as first responders, and are known throughout Westerly in every context—not just as dentists. New residents consistently say Wells Street Dental was the first place in town where they felt genuinely at home.
Hygiene Appointments That Cover Everything
Every hygiene appointment at Wells Street Dental includes full periodontal probing, X-rays on schedule, blood pressure monitoring, and oral cancer screening. Our hygienists are certified to administer local anesthetic for periodontal treatment. Guided Biofilm Therapy is available for patients who benefit from a more precise, minimally invasive cleaning approach.
None of this is an upgrade or a special request; it is the standard of care applied at every visit to every patient. Patients who come from other practices regularly notice that steps they expected to be skipped were not. That consistency, over years of appointments, produces oral health outcomes most patients did not expect to achieve.
Modern Technology That Makes Care More Accurate
The technology at this practice is here because it makes care better.
CEREC allows us to design and place a permanent crown in a single appointment, no temporary crown, no second visit. Digital impressions replace physical molds with precise scans that are more comfortable for patients and more accurate as a foundation for fabrication. Cavitron ultrasonic scalers make hygiene appointments more thorough with less physical pressure. Overjet AI diagnostic software supports our team in identifying concerns at the examination stage with greater consistency, before small issues become larger ones.
What It Feels Like to Be a Patient
Patients at Wells Street Dental are known by name. The hygienists remember what was discussed last time. The doctors explain what they found and what they recommend before any treatment is scheduled, clearly and without pressure.
Nothing here is rushed. Recommendations are based on what a patient needs, not what generates the most revenue. This practice has operated that way for over a century, and it is reflected in the number of families who have been coming here for two and three generations.
Wells Street Dental serves patients from Westerly, Pawcatuck, Watch Hill, Weekapaug, Dunn’s Corners, and the surrounding communities. Whether you are due for a cleaning, considering a new dental home, or dealing with something urgent—reach out, and we will take it from there.
