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.
Susan M.
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.

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 Cleanings and Exams

Why are dental cleanings and exams important for overall health?
Cleanings and exams allow us to detect signs of inflammation, airway restriction, clenching, and other early indicators of systemic health concerns. These visits support your immune system, reduce your risk for chronic disease, and help protect your energy and well-being over time.
Yes, Dr. Kaady often uses cleanings and exams to look for subtle signs of airway restriction, such as mouth breathing, tongue positioning, or teeth grinding during sleep. These early markers can indicate underlying issues, such as sleep-disordered breathing, that may impact mood, focus, energy, and overall health if left unaddressed.
Pain is typically a late-stage symptom. Many oral health issues develop quietly and without noticeable discomfort. Routine dental exams enable Dr. Kaady to identify early signs of decay, inflammation, clenching, or airway issues before they develop into more serious problems. By identifying these concerns early, we can offer conservative, minimally invasive solutions to protect both your smile and your overall health.
