Detailed Introduction

River Valley Periodontics & Implant Dentistry is a well-established and respected clinic specializing in periodontal care and dental implant solutions. Founded in 1974, it is the longest-operating periodontal practice in its area, with six offices across Connecticut and Rhode Island. The clinic is staffed by a team of highly trained, board-certified periodontists, including Dr. Craig Foisie, Dr. Matthew Cantner, Dr. Tatyana Oks, Dr. Matthew Miller, and Dr. Anu Viswanathan. Each doctor has completed extensive training beyond dental school, focusing on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of gum disease, as well as the placement of dental implants. The clinic offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to restore and maintain oral health. Key services include advanced gum disease treatment using both traditional and innovative methods like the LANAP® laser protocol, cosmetic gum procedures such as gum reshaping and tissue grafting, and a full spectrum of dental implant solutions. Their dental implant services range from replacing a single tooth to a full mouth of teeth, and they have over 50 years of combined experience in placing implants. The team also uses high-tech diagnostics, including 3D imaging, to ensure precise and minimally invasive procedures. In addition to core services, River Valley Periodontics & Implant Dentistry provides a variety of other treatments, such as bone grafting, frenectomies for both adults and babies, and treatment for TMJ and sleep apnea. The clinic places a strong emphasis on patient comfort, offering a welcoming environment, friendly staff, and various sedation options to help ease anxiety. They also prioritize patient education, ensuring individuals fully understand their condition and treatment plan. A unique aspect of the practice is its commitment to the community, with a donation program that contributes to local charities for every new patient seen. The clinic has been consistently recognized as a "Top Dentist" by Connecticut Magazine for over a decade, a testament to its high-quality care and patient satisfaction.

I can’t say enough good things about River Valley Periodontics and Dr. Craig Foisie. I came in as an emergency patient, in terrible pain from a molar that needed to be removed right away. My regular dentist referred me urgently, and Dr. Foisie was kind enough to squeeze me into his schedule that same day. I have extremely bad dental anxiety—so bad that I usually avoid the dentist at all costs—but Dr.

Foisie completely changed my experience. He was calm, compassionate, and incredibly thorough. He walked me through everything that was going to happen and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. I never felt rushed or dismissed, and for the first time in years, I felt like I was in truly good hands. The procedure itself went smoothly, and I honestly couldn’t believe how well it was handled. This is the first time I’ve ever left a dental office feeling relieved and cared for instead of traumatized.

If you’re anxious about dental work or in need of expert periodontal care, I highly recommend Dr. Foisie and his team. They are professional, empathetic, and absolutely top-notch.

To say I have anxiety at the dentist is an understatement. I was referred to Dr Miller for a tooth extraction on Emergency. They got me in within 2 hours (only due to my work schedule). Debbie at the front desk was the most kind, understanding, caring and compassionate person from step one. Once I got there and into the chair, Beth, my dental assistant helped get me as comfortable as possible. I was crying, and physically shaking.

Dr. Miller came in, recommended Nitrous oxide which I have never had before. Once that was hooked up and running, I was so calm, smiling, and laughing with them. They got the two out in less then 5 minutes (after Novocain kicked in). Fantastic experience with great bedside manner from start to finish.
