“I have been a patient of Smith Family Dental for many years and have been very happy with the care I’ve received. The dental crowns have lasted for many years and do not give me any trouble. They feel like my natural teeth. I have always received friendly, professional and skillful service from the dentist and the dental hygienists alike. They use modern, up-to-date equipment. I would highly recommend them.” – Susilee D.

Not Your Average Dental Clinic

Dr. Michelle Smith-Goncalves, the owner of Smith Family Dental Associates, generously gave us a few minutes of her time to tell us about this one-of-a-kind business and its award-winning online reputation.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that sets Smith Family Dental Associates apart from their competition in Rhode Island. Here’s Dr. Smith-Goncalves’s response:

“My sister and I have both been practicing for over 20 years. When you come in, you’re family. We make it a priority that you don’t dread your trip to the dentist.”

Building Success Through Word of Mouth

When we asked Dr. Smith-Goncalves about Smith Family Dental Associates‘ secret to such a strong online reputation, she said:

“Patients leave reviews on their own. We are honestly surprised by such amazing feedback.”

Outside of building the kind of online reputation any business owner would envy, Smith Family Dental Associates has spread the word about who they are and what they do by dabbling a little into social media; however, the vast majority of their business comes from word of mouth.

Clearly, Dr. Smith-Goncalves knows a thing or two about growing a business and building an online reputation. Here’s her expert advice for the many other business owners out there:

“Do your best. Show your customers/patients that you care.”


Congratulations to the team at Smith Family Dental Associates for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Dr. Smith-Goncalves, for taking the time to speak with us!

We highly recommend Smith Family Dental Associates in East Providence. Visit their website today!
