My daughter has anxiety and almost canceled her procedure. They called us on our way home and the dentist personally reassured her the procedure was easy. She ended up going back and had a great experience. She said: "I will never go to any other dentist!" And I agree! Thank you for actually caring!

I have been a patient at Aquidneck Dental for over 12 years and highly recommend Dr Nogueira. He is professional, kind, gentle and always puts me at ease. For someone who can get a little nervous with dental procedures, I always leave thinking well, that was not bad at all. Cheryl, my hygienist is the best and the admin staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

I qualified for a deep tissue cleaning 2 years ago but didn't get it due to a lack of insurance. Now that I acquired insurance, Aquidneck Dental wanted to milk my insurance over 3 appointments to determine if I qualified for a deep tissue cleaning (even though I qualified 2 years ago previously at this office). They told me my insurance would not pay for this procedure if I didn't get these first 2 appointments first. Reluctantly, I went along for "the ride" and let them clean my teeth. During the procedure the hygienist accidently informed me that this was a "scaling" and not a "cleaning." - Even though I specifically asked for a cleaning. Then after cleaning my teeth, they inform me they don't even have the equipment to conduct a deep tissue cleaning, however, "if I want to pay for one out of pocket" I could get one?! Let me repeat that; they don't have the equipment available for deep tissue cleaning, however, is the service available if I want to pay out of pocket? Feeling aggrieved, I called my insurance company to explain what happened. My insurance said all Aquidneck Dental had to file the paperwork they had from 2 years ago and I would qualify for that deep tissue cleaning! Aquidneck Dental lied to me! My suspicion was confirmed, Aquidneck Dental just wants to milk the insurance. Even my insurance company was suspicious when I explained what had happened - So I'll end by saying, "Buyer Beware!"

I have been coming to Aquidneck Dental for decades. I have had many dentists over my 75 years. Aquidneck Dental is the best ...by a wide margin. Clear description of procedures and follow-ups.

I have been to many dentists in my lifetime but no one compares to Dr Nogueira and the entire staff at Aquidneck Dental. The staff is very professional and friendly. Dr Nogueira is gentle and methodical in everything he does. St. Elisa is a sweetheart and is equally gentle and methodical. Every experience has been pain-free. I HIGHLY recommend Aquidneck Dental. Although I live in Lincoln, the trip to Portsmouth is worth it. I will not go anywhere else!

Rude and the lady at the front desk doesn't know how to look up your insurance so be prepared to do it yourself.

I have a legitimate fear of seeing the dentist, and was not looking forward to having dental work done. Dr. Nogueira was amazing--he explained everything, frequently asked how I was doing during the procedure, and truly made it a pain free experience. So grateful for his caring nature and professional expertise!

I am new to Portsmouth and hated leaving behind my dentist of 20 years. I was pleasantly surprised to find a practice I like just as much. I have been seen by both father and son and am equally impressed. They both are professional, friendly and take the time to explain what they are doing. I would highly recommend the practice and both doctors,

My time at Aquidneck Dental was fantastic. Beautiful building, friendly staff and I was in and out for a bridge without a hitch. Dr. Nogueira made time to see me and explained things as he went along in a very professional, friendly, and calm manner. If I could give six stars, I would!
