Convenient Access from Coventry
From the mill village of Anthony, Dental Home is about 10 minutes east along Route 117, on Toll Gate Road in Warwick. That one state road makes us a practical dentist Coventry, RI patients can reach without I-95 or a maze of side streets. Dr. Stanley Chan handles emergencies, fillings, root canals, jaw pain and implants, so most care stays with a single office.
Begin at the General Nathanael Greene Homestead on Taft Street, then take Laurel Avenue to Washington Street, where Routes 117 and 33 run together through the Anthony Village Historic District. Stay on Route 117 into West Warwick as it becomes Wood Avenue, West Warwick Avenue, Main Street and Legris Avenue. Crossing into Warwick, the road turns into Centerville Road and passes Toll Gate High School before the roundabout at Toll Gate Road (Route 115). We are at 176 Toll Gate Rd Ste 201, Warwick, RI 02886, about half a mile east of Kent Hospital.
Expect roughly 5.2 miles and 10 minutes, a little more at rush hour, and use our Google Maps location for live turn-by-turn guidance. If you are coming from the next town over, our West Warwick page covers that drive, and the Apponaug page describes the village just east of our office.
A Practice That Fits Life in the Pawtuxet Valley
Coventry covers more land than any other town in Rhode Island, and its two halves feel very different. The eastern end grew around 19th-century mill villages such as Anthony, Washington, Quidnick and Harris, while the western end stayed rural. Families in the east sit closest to us, but the whole town shares Route 117 as a main artery.
History runs deep here. General Nathanael Greene built Spell Hall in Anthony in 1770 and lived there until 1776, and the house has been a museum since 1924. A few miles west, the 1748 Paine House in Washington village holds the Western Rhode Island Civic Historical Society. The Town of Coventry keeps its offices on Flat River Road, near the library.
A neighborhood practice suits a place like this. You see the same dentist at every visit, your records travel with you from one appointment to the next, and nobody hands you off to a stranger. We are open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Friday mornings until noon.
Our team also speaks Spanish and Mandarin. For relatives who feel more at ease in either language, that makes it easier to ask questions, understand a treatment plan and follow aftercare instructions at home.
Sports, Trails and Tooth Protection Across Coventry
Youth leagues for football, basketball, baseball and softball keep plenty of local families busy from spring through fall. Contact on the field means chipped incisors, split lips and the occasional loosened tooth. Quick attention often turns what looks like a disaster into a simple bonding repair.
The Coventry Greenway adds another kind of activity. The paved path follows the old Washington Secondary rail corridor and links the town with West Warwick, Warwick and Cranston as part of the East Coast Greenway. A hard fall from a bike can crack a tooth just as easily as a tackle can.
Adults bring different concerns. Jaw tension, clenching and grinding wear down enamel and leave the joint near the ear sore by evening. Teeth that ache with cold, or that hurt when you bite, may need more than a filling, and Dr. Chan can tell the difference with a careful exam and digital imaging.
Then there is the question of missing teeth. Many adults lose a molar to an old filling that finally gave out and simply live with the gap. Over time neighboring teeth drift and the bite changes, so replacing a tooth sooner keeps chewing balanced. Dr. Chan completed the American Academy of Implant Dentistry Boston Maxicourse, and he plans implants with CBCT 3D imaging.
Services a Dentist Coventry, RI Families Count On
Emergency Dentistry
Broken, knocked or throbbing teeth get prompt care during office hours. From Anthony, the run down Route 117 takes about ten minutes.
Composite Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings repair cavities and minor damage without a dark metal patch. They are a common fix for small chips from the ball field.
Root Canal Therapy
A deep cavity or an old sports crack can let bacteria reach the pulp. Clearing that infection keeps your own tooth in place, and it is work Dr. Chan particularly enjoys.
TMD Treatment
Clicking, locking or aching jaws respond to targeted care. Relief for TMJ-related symptoms can make long workdays and nights far more comfortable.
Dental Implants
An implant gives you a permanent replacement that looks and functions like a natural tooth. CBCT imaging and 3D guided placement help plan each one precisely.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Dental Home from Coventry, and how do I get there?
Dental Home sits about 5.2 miles from the Greene Homestead in Anthony, roughly a 10-minute drive. You follow Route 117 the whole way, from Washington Street through West Warwick to Centerville Road and Toll Gate Road. Families wanting a dentist Coventry, RI residents can reach on one road find the trip easy to remember.
Can Coventry patients replace an old denture with implants?
Often, yes. Dr. Chan places implants with 3D guided planning, and a few implants can replace single teeth or anchor a bridge so the bite feels steadier than a loose denture. A CBCT 3D scan shows whether there is enough bone. He compares implants with a new full or partial denture so you can weigh comfort, upkeep and cost.
How long does a root canal appointment usually take?
Most root canals are finished in one appointment of about an hour to an hour and a half, though some infected or complex teeth need a second visit. Dr. Chan numbs the tooth, cleans out the infected pulp and seals the canals. Afterward, a crown is usually placed to protect the tooth, often in one visit with CEREC.
When should Coventry patients book to avoid morning traffic?
The 8:00 AM slot works well for many Coventry patients, since you finish before mid-morning and still have most of the day. Rush hour on Route 117 across Kent County can add several minutes, so leave a small cushion for an early visit. Mid-morning and early-afternoon times usually mean a lighter drive, and Friday appointments end at noon.
What if a youth football player chips a tooth during a weekend game?
Save any fragments in a small container, use a cold compress, and call us when we open on Monday at 8:00 AM. We are closed on weekends. If bleeding will not stop or swelling spreads across the face, go to a hospital emergency room right away, then follow up with us.
