I was in excruciating pain that started on a Thursday night and by Saturday morning I just couldn't take it anymore. None of the otc pain needs were helping and I was in tears. I called Gentle Dental in Seekonk and the receptionist was so kind and said they could see me that day. From the moment I got there through the entire procedure of removing a very bad wisdom tooth, Dr. Z and his staff were just amazing and so caring. He was thorough with his explanation on what he was going to do and made sure i was comfortable throughout the tooth extraction. I cant thank them enough for seeing me on a Saturday on short notice. I definitely recommend going to Dr. Zeigler. Thank you all!

This is one of the best places I've ever gone for dental work. Dr David Ziegler is awesome, he pulled all of my teeth and I actually started to fall asleep. That's how gentle he is. His bedside manner is impeccable. He asks you how your doing throughout the whole procedure. The whole staff is wonderful. Elizabeth at the front is fantastic she will help you with appointments and all your financial needs. Thank you all. Keep up the great work. Your now my dentist for life.

clean,dentist was very nice,pricilla took my xrays and was also nice, I paid for a new patient special consult.. I got an estimate for a Crown And 3 fillings upon checkout.. The office manager/receptionist told me about the special where I would pay for a yearly plan which I was not interested in, They do not accept my current dental plan, I found the prices outrageous for just fillings and know of other dentists that unfortunately are cheaper. But the dentist was very nice and the place was very clean. Also very accommodating to make appointment.

Beyond thankful for giving this office a try as I have some serious teeth issues and had 2 other opinions prior and wanted to check other options. Gentle Dental being my 3rd opinion and I was blown away by the staff all together and especially Dr. Ziegler...hope I spelt that correctly. He explains EVERYTHING and why things do what they do and what they effect and as well as all the options in details. Obviously my personal needs are much more difficult but I felt beyond comfortable even with anxiety and the amount of work I need done but he's compassionate, realistic, very patient, understanding and asks allot of questions and also answers any and all concerns and questions I had and with allot of detail. Thank you for that and thank you to the staff as you are all very informative and helpful.

I was welcomed in as a new patient to Seekonk Gentle Dental with kindness and skill. Lucy, at the front desk is a beacon of caring and warmth. Priscilla offered a perfect introduction to Dr. Ziegler and to the overall values held and sustained by the Gentle Dental Practice. Dr. Ziegler is discerning and communicative - a superior diagnostician and educator, his focus is firmly on superb dental care, and, just as importantly, on the insurance of each individual patient's comfort and ease. Run, don't walk, to claim a place as a patient here. The Seekonk Gentle Dental staff makes everyone feel right at home.

Don't let "ego" stop you from your own quality of life! I cracked a "smile tooth" a few years back when I was in minimum eating potato chips. The tooth from the "appearance" filled my smile. And I "as a man" decided "I still have a smile, and it Dosent hurt".. I am a man of poor dental genes. My teeth seem "brittle" like my biological father's were.. I had already had all my top molars and 1 pre molar removed, and impacted wisdom teeth, as well as 3 bottom molars removed... I have seen my fair share of dentist while incarcerated, as well as "anchor card dentist", and I have even had the chance to see Dr. Dahl in Connecticut (he's been in magazines). This front tooth I just had done, I really didn't want to loose it... And I let the infection get totally out of control.. I was having night sweats, I was moody, I wasent "the ol Brian".. I told myself the pain wasent so bad... I was Poppin ibprofin like Skittles.. Life was not good for me, and I really didn't understand why.. I just told myself "you pushing 40 Brian, your just a mortal".. The "Gentle Dental" care, I received from Dr. David, was 1st class. I feel 5-10 years younger. Apparently this infection was going into sepsis, and Dr. David not only fixed all that for me, but the healing process was by far the easiest (and I was anticipating a harder recovery being a front/smile tooth) (and Im a smoker ) Hand to the bible, I took less than 10 "over the counter ibprofin" the entire healing process (maybe 3 days) And I took the day after the procedure off from work (from what I've known from past expierences with other dentist) and honestly.. I woulda been fine.. (it was nice to be pampered by my girl tho ) All in all.. I hate that I lost that tooth.. But my quality of life has improved "ten fold". Dr. David your a Dental Wizard "Gentle Dental" is definitely where you belong
