I had an emergency and was in pain. I called Cranston Dental and they had an opening to pull my broken tooth that same day. Procedure went well and quick. The people were nice and helpful. Definitely recommend.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cranston Dental Associates and the entire team especially Dr.Cosmo and his assistant Heather! From the very beginning of my jaw surgery journey, I felt like I was in the best possible hands. Having jaw surgery is a huge experience, and there were definitely moments throughout the process when I felt nervous, overwhelmed, or unsure of what to expect. The compassion, professionalism, and genuine care I received made such a difference. Everyone at Cranston Dental Associates was incredibly kind, patient, knowledgeable, and reassuring. They took the time to explain the process, answer my questions, and make sure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. I never felt like just another patient — I truly felt cared for. The process of having jaw surgery and going through recovery can be challenging, but having a team that you trust makes all the difference. Even during the harder parts of recovery, I knew I had people who genuinely cared about my progress and wanted the best outcome for me. I am so grateful for the care, support, and expertise I received. My experience with Cranston Dental Associates has been nothing short of amazing, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering treatment or jaw surgery. Thank you to the entire team for being so awesome and for making such an important and sometimes intimidating journey feel so much easier. I truly appreciate everything you have done for me!
The experience off having my teeth cleaned was very satisfying. The young lady was careful asked frequently if I was comfortable. My teeth feel great.
It was my first visit with Dr Shapiro, I had tried 2 dentists prior which did not work for me. I found his staff to be very nice and very helpful. Dr Shapiro himself was very knowledgeable, and explained everything thoroughly. He made me feel confident about my upcoming procedure. Thank you.
Today’s visit was not to good for me. the dental hygiene was very rough during the cleaning, I told her couple of times that she was being to rough, and she continued to do so, I have never complained of any of your team but she needs to be retired and patient care and some kindness, I understand that she needed to put pressure to remove the Tartar and need to put pressure but not destroy my gums.
