Client Reviews

Continually the best dental care I have ever received. This is a well run, professional practice. Dr. Kaady and his wonderful staff have a thorough knowledge of dentistry and understand how the entire body and lifestyle can impact oral health. I feel incredibly fortunate that I found Bridgetown Dental.
Mary F.
Dr. Kaady is a compassionate listener but also communicates directly about your dental needs - no ambiguity whatsoever. I was a reluctant and fearful patient BEFORE seeing Dr. Kaady. Three crowns later, I think Dr. Kaady is quite amazing: fast, efficient while tending to my anxieties about pain and noise. I have great confidence in the whole team at Bridgetown.
Lora L.
As someone who has a level of anxiety around dental work, Dr. Kaady and his team put you at ease with their demeanor and by clearly outlining your treatment plan. I cannot recommend this crew enough. I have moved out of town but refuse to switch offices. I tell everyone I know to get in here.
Anthony J.
Dr. Kaady is very caring and does excellent work. He goes beyond just caring about dental. Dr. Kaady cares about your health as well. I feel very comfortable and part of the family-like atmosphere. The whole team is very friendly and always remembers you.

Dr. Kaady and his entire team are thorough, knowledgeable, and great communicators. My entire family has been trusting our teeth and mouth health to Bridgetown for 15 years + now. We all look and feel better due to Dr. Kaady's conscientious care.
John M.
Best dental experience I have ever had. Staff were professional and friendly. Melanie and Melissa were very helpful explained next steps and procedures. Dr Kaady was great, highly recommend this dental group.
Maria L.
5 months and several appointments getting my teeth back in shape and still a wonderful experience as a returning patient. They take the time to understand your questions and concerns. Then they provide you with the info, answers, and options for required work moving forward, scheduling, and costs. Great overall service. The office is very modern and comfortable.

Dr Kaady and all the staff that work with him at Bridgetown Dental are amazing. I have always had excellent care whether it is dental cleaning or something more serious like a filling or a crown. Not only is the atmosphere friendly but this is one of the most affordable dentists I have been to.
Jane S.
Can't say much more than that they are great! My son was treated for broken front teeth some years ago. They did such an impressive job that I decided to change dentists. Great people, and excellent work! Best dentist and assistants I have ever had!

Common Questions About Gum Reshaping

What is gum reshaping?
Gum reshaping is a cosmetic procedure that gently removes excess gum tissue to improve the proportions of your smile. It’s often recommended for patients with what’s sometimes called a “gummy” smile, where too much gum tissue covers the teeth and throws off facial balance. Dr. Kaady uses precise, health-focused techniques to contour the gumline and reveal more of your natural tooth surface, without compromising gum health or long-term comfort.
Gum reshaping is typically very comfortable, especially when performed with Dr. Kaady’s gentle, conservative technique. Only a small amount of excess tissue is removed. We’ll ensure the area is fully numbed before beginning. Most patients feel little to no discomfort during or after treatment. If you experience dental anxiety or simply want extra relaxation, we offer both laughing gas and oral sedation.
Gum reshaping is often recommended when excess gum tissue creates an uneven or “gummy” smile, making teeth appear shorter than they are. By gently contouring the gumline, Dr. Kaady can improve the symmetry of your smile, helping you feel more confident in personal and professional settings. In addition to its cosmetic benefits, gum reshaping can create the proper foundation for restorations like veneers or crowns.
