Gentle Dental

Gentle Dental is a prominent dental care brand with a broad presence across multiple states in the U.S. While there appear to be distinct entities operating under the "Gentle Dental" name (e.g., Gentle Dental of New England, and a network supported by InterDent primarily in the Western US, and another group in Florida), they generally share a common mission: to provide high-quality, comprehensive, and accessible dental care. The Gentle Dental brand (specifically the network supported by InterDent, which includes the Spanish Trail location) is a leading dental care provider with over 160 locations across eight states. They are committed to excellence in oral health for patients of all ages, offering a wide array of services from routine check-ups and cleanings to advanced cosmetic treatments and specialized procedures. These services often include general dentistry, orthodontics (traditional braces and Invisalign), periodontics, endodontics, pedodontics, oral surgery, and cosmetic dentistry (including teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, and implants). A key aspect of Gentle Dental's approach is convenience and affordability. They often provide extended hours, including evenings and weekends, and user-friendly online booking systems to accommodate busy schedules. They strive to remove barriers to care by accepting most major insurance plans and offering flexible payment options, including in-house dental plans and financing solutions. New patients are frequently welcomed with special offers, such as comprehensive exams, x-rays, and cleanings at a reduced cost. Gentle Dental emphasizes a patient-first approach, aiming to create a comfortable and stress-free environment. Their team of skilled professionals, which often includes on-site specialists, works to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs and goals. Many Gentle Dental offices are equipped with modern technology, such as digital x-rays, 3D scanning, and in some locations, CEREC machines for same-day crowns. The brand has roots dating back decades, with Gentle Dental of New England, for instance, founded over 45 years ago by Dr. Ron Weissman and Dr. Sam Shames on the principle of accessible quality care. Some segments of the Gentle Dental brand are supported by larger Dental Support Organizations (DSOs) like InterDent or 42 North Dental (formerly Gentle Dental Partners in New England), which provide administrative and business support, allowing dentists to focus primarily on patient care. This structure aims to enhance efficiency, incorporate the latest technologies, and ensure a consistent standard of care across their network.
