“I had a dental emergency, and they went above and beyond to see me as soon as possible, as I was leaving for vacation the next day. The entire staff was so nice, and the office is modern and immaculate! I was not a patient before I went today, and now I am. I will be returning for my cleaning very soon. I highly recommend Dr. Lakhkar!” – Karen A.

Not Your Average Dental Clinic

We wanted to learn what makes this award-winning business tick, so we took a few minutes to talk with Corinne Latraverse, Office Manager at Cranston Cosmetic Dentistry.

To kick off our conversation, we asked Corinne about what makes Cranston Cosmetic Dentistry unique compared to their competition in Rhode Island. Here’s her response:

“We’re kind and caring to the patient. We make sure they feel comfortable, know all of their options and understand the procedure. I think they appreciate that, and a lot of people say that, too.”

We also asked Corinne about the Cranston Cosmetic Dentistry mission and how they work to make the world a better place. Corinne told us about their dedication to giving quality care to their patients, listening to their needs, giving them advice and meeting them in the middle. She added:

“We’re going to do what’s ethical and right and educate them on why we might not do things a certain way… That’s the transparency. If we know how something should be handled or situated, we explain it to them. We show them the pictures and the x-rays and make them understand what’s going on in their mouth. When they leave here, they are satisfied and have a clear answer. They’re happy about having to come back to the dentist instead of being scared and not knowing the next step.”

Building Success by Providing an Enjoyable Experience

When we asked Corinne about Cranston Cosmetic Dentistry’s strong online reputation, she said:

“I’ve been with this business for 12 years, and I think it’s just the way we treat our customers when they come in. We try to make them forget they’re at the dentist’s office. I think that’s key, because everybody’s nervous to come here. We try to make it an enjoyable experience.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Cranston Cosmetic Dentistry has grown through word of mouth:

“A lot of our patients have come from referrals from other patients. Some people come from online by googling Cranston ‘dentists,’ but word of mouth, I think, is always the best.”

There are many business owners looking to grow their business and build their online reputation. Here’s Corinne’s expert advice for them:

“My advice is to be honest with your patients, customers, clients, etc. I think honesty is the best policy. If you know that you can’t do something or treat something for a patient, just tell them. Don’t try to do something to take someone’s money. I tell patients that we’re not here to take their money. We want to give you the best treatment possible. As long as you understand and feel comfortable, we want to be able to treat you. I feel other businesses should do the same thing. Businesses are here to make money, but patient care is what is important. They’re the ones who put money in our pockets to be able to feed our families, and if we didn’t treat them with the respect they deserve, we wouldn’t have a job.”


Congratulations to Cranston Cosmetic Dentistry for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Corinne, for taking the time to speak with us!
