Hometown Roots for East Greenwich Patients
Dr. Chan was raised in East Greenwich before heading to the University of New England for his undergraduate degree and dental training. Today he cares for neighbors from the town where he was raised.
The town itself dates to 1677 and serves as the seat of Kent County. Its downtown sits within a historic district along Main Street, and the waterfront draws boaters to the public docks every summer. Landmarks like the granite Free Library on Peirce Street, dedicated in 1915, give the town its unhurried character. A small practice with one dentist suits that pace, because you see the same face at every visit.
Our office is just over the line in Warwick, so you are never far from home. Across Greenwich Cove from the town docks, Goddard Memorial State Park covers 490 acres of Warwick shoreline, a daily reminder of how closely the two communities connect.
Dental Priorities for Families Across East Greenwich
The town is known for its school district, which runs from the elementary schools through Archie R. Cole Middle School to East Greenwich High School. Parents juggling practices, rehearsals and homework want dental visits that fit around all of it. Our weekday hours start at 8:00 AM, so a checkup can come before the first bell or right after dismissal.
Teenagers are often thinking about straighter teeth before graduation photos or college applications. Clear aligners move teeth gradually with removable trays, and Dr. Chan enjoys this kind of orthodontic work. Because we use digital impressions in place of putty molds, the start of treatment is quicker and far less messy.
The town also hosts the main campus of New England Institute of Technology. Students living locally for the first time can keep up with cleanings close to campus instead of waiting for a trip back home. Adults working long hours often notice jaw soreness or morning headaches, which can point to clenching worth a closer look.
Older residents have different concerns: a cracked filling, a loose bridge or a missing back tooth that makes steak harder to chew. Dr. Chan handles crowns, implants and partial dentures in the same office, so a longtime patient does not need to start over somewhere new when the needs change.

Each tool helps Dr. Chan explain what he sees and why he recommends a particular step.
When a tooth breaks or a toothache flares up, call early in the day. Our emergency visits focus on getting you comfortable and explaining your options, and new patients can book a $69 Emergency Exam & X-Ray (*New patients only.) that includes any necessary x-rays and treatment recommendations.

Is late summer a good time for East Greenwich students to get a checkup?
Yes, a checkup before classes begin finds cavities while they are small, when a tooth-colored composite filling can usually fix them. Treating them over the summer avoids missing class later for a toothache. We are open 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Thursday and 8:00 AM to noon on Friday, so a morning visit fits easily into a summer weekday.
How should I care for a new crown?
Treat a crown like a natural tooth: brush twice a day, floss around it daily and keep up regular cleanings. The crown itself cannot decay, but the tooth edge beneath it can, so plaque control at the gumline matters most. A night guard helps if you grind, and avoid chewing ice or opening packages with your teeth.
Will my teen need messy putty molds to start clear aligners?
No, we use digital scanners instead of traditional impression material. A small wand captures a 3D image of the teeth, and that scan guides the aligner plan. Most teens find it far easier than biting into a tray of putty, especially those with a sensitive gag reflex.
