I highly recommend Dr. Foise if you ever need extractions or dental implants. He made the process as quick and easy as possible. I like that he explains everything in simple terms and gives you the power to decide your next steps. I had an implant done today, he gave me the right medication and I am in little pain. I love that I was able to pay with a payment plan that had no interest. I will recommend this place to everyone. The staff is kind and the office is very clean. He called me personally to make sure I am okay. Plus hes cute.. and very professional! :) also wanted to shout out Corey he was super helpful and followed up on all of my phone calls quickly. Thank you River Valley team!

I had an outstanding experience at River Valley Periodontics. From the moment I walked in, the team’s professionalism and warmth made me feel completely at ease. The reception staff were welcoming, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable.
Dr. Foisie and Elizabeth are an exceptional treatment team. Their communication was clear and reassuring, and I appreciated being informed about every step of the procedure. The surgery itself was smooth, completely pain-free, and I had no swelling afterward- a testament to their skill and precision.
What stood out most was their remarkable bedside manner. During such a delicate procedure, their calm confidence and genuine care created an atmosphere of trust and comfort. I am grateful for their expertise and compassion, and I highly recommend River Valley Periodontics to anyone seeking top-quality care delivered with kindness and professionalism.

Dr Anu is the most wonderful woman/ doctor. This was a follow up appointment from surgery performed day after. She makes you feel better and is there for any questions or concerns.

Preparing for a dental implant and everyone is very courteous and friendly. Doctor and assistant are willing to take time to explain what is going to happen in each of the procedures. Both my wife and I are having dental implants and would highly recommend this practice.

About River Valley Periodontics & Implant Dentistry
River Valley Periodontics & Implant Dentistry is a periodontal specialty practice with an office at 744 Broad Street Ext in Waterford, Connecticut, one of several locations the group operates along the Connecticut shoreline and in Rhode Island. The practice says it has been providing dental implants and periodontics since 1974, and each of its doctors is a periodontist with advanced training in treating gum disease, repairing gum recession and placing dental implants. Patients can come directly for gum and implant care without a referral, or they may be referred by their general dentist.
For patients considering implants, the practice handles procedures ranging from replacing a single tooth to a full mouth of teeth, and it offers implant-supported dentures and treatment for infection around existing implants (peri-implantitis). The doctors describe using detailed diagnostics to plan implant placement so implants can be placed with little or no incision, and they partner with restorative dentists who make the crowns, bridges or dentures that attach to the implants. Other services include gum disease treatment, gum recession treatment, the LANAP laser protocol, the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique, periodontal maintenance and cosmetic gum reshaping. The practice also offers comfort amenities and sedation options. The Waterford office is open Monday through Friday, with weekday opening times ranging from 7:00am to 8:00am depending on the day.
