Yes! Dental Essence is welcoming new patients of all ages. New patients receive a comprehensive exam and necessary X-rays for $120, and we offer complimentary consultations for Invisalign and dental implants. Call (774) 251-9113 or book online to get started.

We're open Monday through Thursday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. We're closed on Saturday and Sunday. Emergency appointments are available — please call.

Appointments & First Visit

Your first visit is unhurried and friendly. We'll review your medical and dental history, complete a comprehensive exam (with digital X-rays if needed), discuss your goals, and walk you through a clear, personalized plan. A cleaning may be completed that day or scheduled for a follow-up depending on your needs.

Please bring a valid photo ID, your dental insurance card (if applicable), a list of current medications, and any recent X-rays or records from a previous dentist.

Yes. We do our best to see patients with dental emergencies the same day. If you're experiencing severe tooth pain, swelling, or have suffered a dental injury, call (774) 251-9113 right away.

Insurance & Payment

We accept most major dental insurance plans, including Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, Delta Dental, Guardian, Humana, MetLife, UnitedHealthcare, Assurant, Principal, Ameritas, and Medicaid. If you don't see your plan listed, please call us — we'll verify your benefits.

No problem. We offer transparent pricing and flexible payment plans for patients without insurance. Give us a call and we'll find an option that works for you.
