About Us

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

Our commitment is to listen to our patients' concerns and to provide complete satisfaction. We will not allow any of our patients' choices to be controlled by what insurance and HMOs dictate. We will discuss all possible options, both pros and cons, and give patients the opportunity to decide what is important in preserving or improving their dental image and self-confidence.

Experienced Dentist — Dr. Pettengil in Plainville, MA

ABOUT YOUR DENTIST

Dr. Pettengill was very instrumental in developing all policies for sterilization methods in a hospital-based dental center. A standard required not only by OSHA and the Department of Health, but also by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospital Organizations (JCAHO). This is an exceptional asset of which we are so proud of since hospitals are typically held to a higher standard than most dental centers. Please feel free to ask us about our methods when you visit.
