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.

Aquidneck Dental still gets a 5 star rating from me BUT Dr Ruel gets a 0 rating!…read more Disappointing Denture Relining Experience with Dr. Ruel I had a highly unsatisfactory experience with Dr. Ruel at Aquidneck Dental in Portsmouth for a hard relining of my dentures, which cost $1,600. My upper denture was initially comfortable, with only a minor thin spot prompting the relining, but my lower denture was problematic, requiring denture adhesive before meals and still becoming loose during eating. Dr. Ruel, nearing retirement and working only one day a week, scheduled my impressions for the following week, promising a next-day turnaround. However, when I called to confirm post-relining care for potential sore spots, the office assured me Dr. Ruel would be available. Upon dropping off my dentures, he then informed me they would take a week, contradicting his earlier promise. After I reminded him of his initial claim, he made a brief call to the lab and stated they could deliver the next day. I suspect he was reluctant to come in on his day off, leaving me without dentures for longer than expected. When I received my dentures, the upper plate was uncomfortably tight, and the lower plate felt unchanged, as if no work had been done. After pointing this out, Dr. Ruel reduced the charge to $800 and offered an immediate soft relining. Unfortunately, the soft relining was poorly executed: the lower plate had untrimmed excess material and there are sharp edges on the outer teeth, while the upper plate's roof lining felt like sandpaper, causing significant soreness in the roof of my mouth. I had to return multiple times, waiting a week between appointments, to address persistent sore spots and problems. The teeth still feel unpolished and rough. Now, my upper denture requires adhesive to stay in place--unlike before--and moves when chewing tougher foods like steak. The lower denture is so loose that I need to re-apply adhesive multiple times during a single meal. Overall, my dentures are in worse condition than before, and I'm don't think they can be fixed. I strongly advise against seeing Dr. Ruel, who has since relocated to Tiverton. This review pertains solely to Dr. Ruel's service, not the other excellent dentists at Aquidneck Dental in Portsmouth.

I got to be in the bird room office - a corner space with enormous windows on two sides and a view of a bird feeder in a big evergreen tree with tons of cute birds coming and going as you get your teeth cleaned. It was beautiful and relaxing. Dr. Lubbe was positive, fun and answered all my questions. It was a wonderful experience.

Their high standards are established and defined at the top with Dr. James Cavanaugh, whose technical skills are the finest I've ever experienced and who also happens to be one of the nicest people you could ever meet. He always greets me with a kind smile, quick wit, and quiet confidence that combine with his impressive abilities to inspire great confidence. He also always ensures I completely understand any topic discussed or procedure considered. My hygienist is Katlyn. She is always on-time, never rushes, her cleaning technique is as thorough and gentle as it gets and she is as nice person as she is incredibly competent. Every member of the Portsmouth Family Dental team with whom I have interacted is exceptionally personable, engaging and exudes an upbeat persona, which I imagine is a point of emphasis during the hiring process, reinforced regularly and something for which they strive on a daily basis. The office itself is bright, has a professional yet comfortable appearance, possesses the most modern technical equipment and inspires as much confidence as do the team members. I truly have never seen a finer example of supreme representational and technical ability at any professional office. They are a role model. Simply stated, Portsmouth Family Dental has no equal and has my highest recommendation.
