I like Bridgetown Dental because Dr. Kaady is one of the coolest guys I know. We go to basketball games together. I come over, he does my teeth, he examines me, he treats me really, really nice. And I just love coming over here. It’s a fun place. What is most important to me is they’re always on time. Because I’m always rushing to get from one place to the next place.
They’re always here, they’re always happy, they’re ready to go. And they talk me through the process. They tell me what’s going to happen so I’m not, like, “What’s going on now?” Because they’ve already told me. They always let you know what’s going on. And they’re friendly, they’re kind, they’re warm, and they’re always on time.
He is one of the most gentle dentists I’ve ever worked with. He tells you what’s going to happen and he keeps talking about other things so he gets your mind off what’s going on. I come all the way to Bridgetown rather than going across the street from my dentist because I love hanging out with him. And I like coming over here because they’re going to take really good care of me.

Say Goodbye to Dental Anxiety With Our Gentle Care
Many people get nervous when they think about going to the dentist. If you do too, you’re not alone. Surveys show that the majority of people have at least some anxiety about dental visits. Our compassionate dental team will do all we can to help you relax. If you have any questions about your treatment, we’ll take time to answer them and make sure you’re fully informed.
You can also take advantage of our soothing sedation options to get comfortable:
- Inhaled Sedation – You’ll inhale sweet-smelling laughing gas through a small mask. In a few moments, you’ll begin to feel relaxed from head to toe. You may even feel a tingling sensation in your arms and legs or feel a little giddy. The best part is, you’ll feel like yourself immediately again as soon as the gas is removed. You’ll be able to drive yourself home with no problem.
- Oral Conscious Sedation – Dr. Kaady will give you a prescription for a small pill that you’ll take before your appointment. By the time your exam or procedure begins, you’ll be relaxed all over. You will most likely remain awake, although some patients become so relaxed that they doze off. The effects of the pill will last for several hours, so you’ll need a friend or family member to drive you home afterward.

It feels like home. I mean, I come in, I always get greeted with a big smile, which is hugely helpful. I’m not always comfortable with the dentist, but when I come here I do, I feel really at home. I feel like I know Ziad and he’s always asked me great questions and remembers who I am and about my family. Those things make me feel comfortable, especially in this kind of setting. It feels really good.
And then when I’m sitting in the chair, the hygienist, she always talks me through everything that she’s doing. And that’s really reassuring. I just like knowing, “Okay, this is what’s going to happen next. We’re going to do this and then we’ll be all done.” I always love that. Afterwards, when your teeth are so clean, it feels so good. I love that.
Some of the things that I’ve really walked away from my conversations with Ziad are he looks at things holistically. It’s not just about your teeth, it’s about your jaw and the rest of what’s going on with your body. And that’s really important to me. I don’t want to just come in and feel like you’re just looking at this one little aspect of who I am, but really looking at all the avenues of why this might be happening. It’s really good to hear and to know that he’s thinking that way.
Excellent service! I had terrible anxiety about dentist offices from a poor experience when I was a kid. I ended up not going to the dentist for many years as an adult, resulting in many problems. Ultimately, one day, I had a dental emergency and found Bridgetown Dental, who got me in immediately. I had so much fear about dentist offices that I was tearful during the initial consult. However, Dr. Kaady never shamed me for my worry. He was kind, explained everything about the procedure, and took the time to make me feel like he cared about my teeth and experience. I totally survived the cavity-filling! He asked if I would return (I had a lot more cavities) and start regular cleanings. Five years later, I am still a patient here! Valerie, who cleans my teeth, is wonderful! Everyone here is exceptional, professional, and friendly. I decline to go anywhere else. Bridgetown Dental cured my dentist office anxiety, and I highly recommend them!
I had a lot of work done, several caps. They were great every time. They helped me work with my insurance to maximize coverage and prioritize the important work. On time, clean and friendly. My earlier work is holding up great. Highly recommend. Book cleanings well in advance.
I’ve been coming here for a few years now and had good experiences. I hadn’t been to the dentist in over 5 years before i started coming here – they deep cleaned my teeth, got me set up for a wisdom tooth removal, and have always been nice to work with. No complaints!
My family and I have been coming to Bridgetown dental for over a decade. I’ve needed extensive dental care for most of my life and have always been happy with the level of treatment Dr. Kaady and his staff provide. The regular and deep cleanings are gentle and thorough; the cavity and crown work: clean, strong and long lasting. Dr. Kaady’s approach always makes me feel like he takes my dental health and well-being as his upmost priority. My spouse and children (all with much stronger teeth than mine) have also been very satisfied clients over the years.
I have reviewed before and after reading a friend’s unfortunate experience of going to the dentist, it made me want to come here to leave another review.
Dr Kaady and his crew are empathetic and seek to understand. Not once did I or my children ever feel judged or shamed. Ever. They talked through any situation and discussed potential solutions. The solutions were up to us to choose. When my daughter needed an orthodontist we talked about how to select an orthodontist. The choice was ours, and we found an excellent one!
I unfortunately no longer live in the area, but hearing other peoples experiences with dentists, I might consider driving to Portland twice a year 😁😂💕
I was in Portland on vacation and I had to see a dentist for an emergency.
I usually dig deep in my research and after comparing all my options I decided to take an appointment with Dr. Ziad.
I have nothing to say more than the fact that I was thrilled!
Highly Skilled, Clean, kind !! For the first time since I have been living in the US (7 Years now) I didnt feel I am getting oversold tons of unnecessary stuff and procedures !
I just moved out here from Las Vegas, NV and was looking for a personal dental office and I’m pretty sure I’m going to stay here for good. The staff is friendly, efficient, texted updates and reminders from an actual person.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you have anxiety at these places. Feels like iv known them for years.
I have been going here for years and am always comfortable, and receive professional and friendly service. I have recommended them to many friends and family.
Fantastic dental office, personnel is always friendly and helpful and Dr. Kaady is highly recommended.
I don’t usually give reviews, but this one was worth it! After chipping a tooth at night, I was able to get in the next day – even as a new patient. They moved my appointment up, took care of me right away, and were incredibly friendly and helpful. I would 100% recommend Bridgetown Dental to anyone looking for a dentist. I get a little nervous at the dentist and they were totally patient and kind.
