Portsmouth Dental Associates has been perfect for me over the last couple of years. Every visit is handled efficiently and professionally and they don't try and force you into the extras if you don't need them. My hygienist, Jenny, remembers every detail of my family through our conversations and does a great job with my cleanings. I recommend this dentistry to anyone in the area looking for great service in a friendly environment!

I have been a patient at this practice for 24 years and have recommended it highly, however, it is…read moreunder new management and leaves much to be desired. They have not updated their website, they have billing problems and the front desk employees at the Portsmouth office are extremely rude. For the 1st time in 24 years, I called with an emergency and left messages daily but no one called back even after 1 week. It is inconceivable that there are now 5 doctors and no one is monitoring the phones. They finally got me in a week later at the Newport office. The employees there were wonderful. The front desk people in Portsmouth are sadly lacking people skills, are rude and talk over you and not let you finish a sentence. After calling several times asking for help, Ariana put the phone on auto-answer for the remaining office time of one hour. It is unacceptable to treat a valued patient like this. Additionally, they are no longer accepting certain insurances. After 24 years, this practice management is down the drain. My husband and many other patients are leaving this practice.

My father and I have been going to Frenchtown Dental for many years, and the experience has always…read morebeen consistently excellent. From the moment you walk in, Kristen and Lisa are incredibly welcoming and kind--they make you feel comfortable right away. I've always had a fear of the dentist (I used to cry before appointments), but the atmosphere here really helps ease that anxiety. The staff are patient, understanding, and never make you feel rushed or judged. My father uses a walker, and they are always attentive and accommodating to his needs. They take the time to make sure he's comfortable and even chat with him, which means a lot. Dr. McCauley and Dr. Cariappa are both skilled and compassionate. They explain things clearly and have a calm, reassuring approach that makes a big difference. The hygienists are thorough, gentle, and friendly. If you're someone who gets nervous about dental visits or needs a practice that truly cares about their patients, I would definitely recommend Frenchtown Dental. My teeth have never looked or felt better.

My first contact with Dr Gomes-Moore was by telephone during an emergency when I was in severe pain…read morewith an abscess. She began treating me like I was a long-standing patient before I was. She consulted a medical doctor that I had previously seen and together they started antibiotic treatment. That was several years ago and during the pandemic. My dental health has come a long way since then and it's because of her kindness, compassion and skill. My lifelong fear of dental appointments has been alleviated by the entire team. A visit to the dentist now is far less stressful and way less painful than my past providers. So I go. Dr Gomes-Moore had also coordinated a root canal treatment with another doctor that turned out painless, and dental implant that was recently completed and feels just perfect. The entire team is friendly, the office is clean and professional. Choosing this doctor and office was one of my best decisions.

5 Stars for Dr. Gomes / 1 Star for Billing Operations…read more Dr. Ashley Gomes is an AMAZING dentist. She listens, takes pride in her work, and I'd be surprised if there's a better dentist out there. My family stayed with this practice for years because of her talent, despite noticing high turnover among the hygiene and office staff. Unfortunately, a recent issue with the billing department ruined our experience. After receiving an unexpected charge that was not disclosed prior to treatment, I attempted to resolve it via email. I received a brief, abrasive response alongside a hand-scribbled bill that lacked clear explanation. To clarify the charge, a Cigna insurance representative joined me on a conference call to advocate on my behalf. During that call, the billing staff member, Colin, was dismissive, repeatedly interrupted the representative, and became heated when challenged. While Cigna successfully got the inaccurate charge waived, our reward for advocating for transparent billing was receiving a certified letter terminating our care. Dr. Gomes is one of the best dentists around, but the unprofessionalism and hostility from her administrative team ultimately forced us out. I strongly encourage management to review phone recordings with Cigna so Dr. Gomes understands how her patients are being treated behind closed doors.

I have severe anxiety about dentists, and generally even a cleaning causes me a great deal of…read moretrauma I need time to recover from. I needed a tooth extracted. I knew it would be difficult. I made the appointment and was asked if I wanted two appts - one with a consultation and one with the extraction. Well of course I didn't want TWO appts, I just wanted to get it done. I did not get a consultation, but when I asked the receptionist why it would be needed, she said "You know to discuss what is needed for your tooth." Well they had an Xray from another dentist. Seemed a waste of time to me. I told them about the anxiety when I made the appt ("I have extreme anxiety, so I may need addtl support during this"), I told them when I showed up (I have anxiety, I need whatever you can provide to make this easier). I told the nurse. I told the doctor. I told everyone who would listen I needed as much support as they had. Everyone nodded. There was no nitrous, no offer of sedation, no additional support beyond "we can numb you longer" which, bless them, is not really helpful when you have severe anxiety. I cried while they extracted it, but I held very very still while crying, except for the trembling, because my childhood taught me to be still during traumatic moments when I am being hurt. There were no blankets offered, no headphones available, no tvs, no distraction. Nothing at all really. Just me in a freezing cold room having trauma done to me. Does it make it any better that my insurance paid for it? Not really. I like to think Dr Castaneda would have offered nitrous or additional supports if they were available to the practice. I would have paid for any of it, no question - we could have afforded it. So clearly they just...don't? Which is awful, really. Not even one sad faded poster on the ceiling for me to stare at instead of a bright light. We are full time nomads. I saw a gyno in Austin, TX who had nitrous for the anxious. Too bad they didn't offer dental work. Spent the evening sobbing and being held. Thanks for the trauma. Will bring it to my therapist next time we meet. (three stars were for getting the tooth out, I suppose, which needed to happen, but holy crap is this going to take time to process)
