About Newport Dental & Orthodontics
Known for gentle care with young children and dentists who avoid pushing unnecessary treatment, though scheduling and billing draw frequent complaints.
Newport Dental & Orthodontics is a general dental practice that also offers traditional braces and clear aligners. Reviews often mention how the office handles young children, describing gentle corrections and patience with nervous kids, and several patients note that dentists here have not pushed costly add-on procedures. At the same time, a recurring pattern of scheduling mix-ups, long waits, and confusing billing or insurance charges shows up across many reviews, and a few mention inconsistency after a longtime doctor left and rotating dentists took over.

The staff was courteous and I felt comfortable. I do have to say I've never had so many x rays at any dentist visit . The x ray tech and I had fun with it though... at several points during the x rays I had to hold the plates in place.. Overall great experience..I recommend then if you need a new dentist.

Quick and efficient. 10 min wait, x-rays, dr checked, cleaning. Done within the hour. No pressure for anything else. I also don’t pay for this extra cancer screening. So I decline that. Only sign up for what you are there for.
