Summary of 215 patient reviews, October 2024–September 2026, updated September 2026
Comfort Dental serves children, teens, and adults seeking orthodontic care in Providence, Rhode Island.
Established in 1999, the practice operates two locations and offers treatment planning for patients across multiple age groups. The practice provides Invisalign clear aligner therapy, early interceptive treatment for younger patients, and TMJ disorder management. Dr. Carmen Sanchez, Dr. Rachael Gilardetti, and Dr. Luis Fraguada hold Diamond Plus Provider status with Invisalign, a designation reflecting case volume and experience with the aligner system. Digital impressions are captured using intraoral scanning technology, eliminating the need for traditional molds during records appointments. Comfort Dental offers complimentary initial consultations, which can be conducted in person or through virtual platforms. Patients may schedule appointments online through the practice website. The practice has received 836 reviews on Google, with an average rating of 4.6 stars. Both Providence locations provide access to the full range of services offered by the practice. Treatment recommendations vary based on individual diagnostic findings, age, skeletal development, and presenting malocclusion. Patients interested in Invisalign, early intervention protocols, or TMJ assessment can request a consultation to determine whether they are candidates for these approaches. Geographic proximity and insurance acceptance should be confirmed directly with the practice prior to scheduling.

My experience at Comfort Dental today was amazing! Like always. I always feel peacefulness when I’m there for my appointments. 😌

Very deceptive billing practices. Called the insurance company for a root canal, and this place was recommended. Made the appointment for a consult. Within 6 days, they suddenly no longer take the insurance plan, as well as the fact that nowhere is it mentioned that the specialist for said root canal DOES NOT TAKE INSURANCE. The front desk tried to have the consult move forward regardless and we walked out. Would not recommend.

I had an amazing experience at Comfort Dental Providence! The office is always very clean, organized, and welcoming, which immediately puts you at ease. The staff truly go above and beyond for their patients they are friendly, attentive, and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. Dr. Sanchez is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain everything clearly. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and their dental health. Deandre was also outstanding—very professional, kind, and made the whole visit smooth and stress-free. Overall, the level of care and customer service here is top-tier. I highly recommend Comfort Dental Providence to anyone looking for a dental office that truly values their patients!
