Very caring and professional staff. Elizabeth provided thorough pre and post op care and instructions. Corey delivered superb local anesthesia. Dr Foise took great care to assure my comfort during an efficient and successful procedure. I’m grateful to all.

I would highly, highly recommend this group! I have been a patient for 40+ years. I had to have an extraction of a old root canal molar. Because of my upcoming major surgery I was in need of getting the tooth extracted ASAP. I was given an appointment the very next day in the morning. Yesterday was the first time I saw Dr. Craig Foisie. He went over all my concerns and double checked what he could use to numb me for the procedure because of all my allergies. I completely trusted him. He informed me as to what he was doing during the procedure. He called me early evening the same day to check in to see how I was doing. This group of doctors are so extremely knowledgeable and up to date on dental changes. Dr. Foisie and his assistant Elizabeth put me at complete ease. Doing great the next day. I have only taken Motrin and 3 Tylenol over the last 24 hours. Ice is key! I love this group!

Very professional and kind. This was my first visit with them after a referral from my dentist and it was clear that the doctor and staff had actually reviewed my information prior to my visit - which was refreshing. The seating area is very nice but separated by a door that you need to walk through to check in, after check in had to go back to the seating area - which was very minimally confusing but seemed inefficient. That is the only criticism I would have - which is really nothing…just a little different.

I'm very happy to be a patient of this practice. Dr Foise did a great job installing my implants and called me on a Friday night to make sure I was doing okay. The staff are warm and welcoming. Highly recommend!

I am so happy that Dr. Fosie and his staff do a very thorough check up of my teeth each year. He and they are very competent and professional. With his help, I am hopeful of keeping my teeth through my old age.

River Valley Periodontics & Implant Dentistry is a periodontal and dental implant specialty practice with an office at 88 Beach Street in Westerly, Rhode Island, alongside several offices along the Connecticut shoreline. The practice says it has been providing dental implants and periodontal care since 1974, and its doctors are periodontists, meaning specialists in treating gum disease and placing dental implants. No referral is needed to visit, and patients come directly or are sent by their general dentist for help with moderate to severe gum disease, cosmetic gum treatment, and implant procedures ranging from replacing a single tooth to a full mouth of teeth.
For patients considering implants, the practice offers individual implants for single teeth, implant-supported bridges for several adjacent teeth, implants to stabilize an existing denture, implants for new removable snap-in or fixed-in dentures, and Teeth-in-a-Day. The doctors use cone beam 3D CT scanning to plan implant placement so procedures can be done with minimal incisions, and they coordinate with restorative dentists who make the crowns, bridges, or dentures that attach to the implants. The practice also treats gum disease and gum recession, including the LANAP laser protocol and the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique, and treats peri-implantitis, which is infection around an existing implant. Comfort amenities plus oral and intravenous sedation are offered for implant procedures. The Westerly office lists hours on Fridays from 7:00am to 3:00pm.
The practice's clinical team includes Dr. Craig Foisie, DMD, MS, a board-certified periodontist and Navy veteran who is a diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology; Dr. Matthew S. Cantner, DMD, a board-certified periodontist trained at the University of Pennsylvania; Dr. Tatyana Oks, DDS, MS, a board-certified periodontist trained at Columbia University; Dr. Matthew Miller, DDS, a board-certified periodontist and former Navy periodontics program director who also trained other periodontists in the LANAP technique; Dr. Joshua Lin, who received his DDS and periodontics training at Columbia University; and Dr. Jennifer Duffy, who earned her DMD at Tufts University and completed a Master of Science and periodontology specialty training at the University of Connecticut. The website does not specify which doctors see patients at the Westerly office.
