About Smith Family Dental Associates
Smith Family Dental Associates is a general and family dental practice on Pawtucket Avenue in East Providence, Rhode Island. The office cares for patients of every age, from young children to adults.
General and family dentistry forms the foundation of the practice. Comprehensive examinations, professional cleanings, tooth-colored fillings, and monitoring for tooth decay and gum disease keep teeth and gums healthy, with care available for the whole household at one office.
Seeing the family together at a single practice makes it easier to coordinate appointments and keep everyone on a steady checkup schedule. Regular checkups are the most dependable way to catch small problems early, before they need more involved treatment, and professional cleanings clear the hardened tartar that everyday brushing cannot reach.
The practice places emphasis on keeping care affordable, with attention to keeping common treatments accessible for families budgeting for their dental care.
Treating families over the long term lets the office build a clear picture of each patient’s dental history, which supports better recommendations and steadier long-term planning.
A new-patient visit generally begins with a thorough examination and cleaning, with any findings and recommended treatment explained clearly before care begins. Patients are encouraged to ask the practice about its appointment and cancellation policies so the practical side is clear in advance.
The Pawtucket Avenue location is convenient for East Providence and the surrounding communities. You can review Smith Family Dental Associates’ services and contact details on this page and reach the office directly to request an appointment.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Dr. Michelle Smith-Goncalves and her outstanding team at Smith Family Dental to restore my front teeth with three new crowns. From the very first consultation through the final placement, the entire process was remarkably comfortable, with zero discomfort at any stage—an experience that far exceeded my expectations. When Dr. Goncalves handed me the mirror to reveal the final results, I was genuinely speechless. The transformation was stunning. The crowns look incredibly natural, perfectly proportioned, and seamlessly integrated with my overall smile. In that moment, I felt an overwhelming sense of pride and joy that I hadn’t anticipated. Even now, weeks later, I catch myself smiling more often simply because I can’t stop admiring the result. What truly sets Dr. Goncalves apart is her exceptional skill, meticulous attention to detail, and calm, reassuring presence. She combines deep clinical expertise with a genuine commitment to patient comfort and satisfaction. Her team is equally professional, warm, and efficient, creating an environment where you feel truly cared for. I have complete confidence placing my dental health in Dr. Goncalves’ hands. If you’re considering any restorative or cosmetic dental work, I can unequivocally recommend Smith Family Dental without hesitation. My new smile has not only boosted my confidence - it has genuinely enhanced my quality of life. Thank you, Dr. Goncalves and team, for the beautiful work and the outstanding care! Unequivocally Recommended!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this dental office and the entire staff. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like family. Everyone is so caring, patient, and genuinely takes the time to get to know you—not just as a patient, but as a person. That kind of compassion is rare and so appreciated. I recently brought my 3-year-old daughter to the clinic. She’s been to the dentist about four times before this, and every single visit at other places was a struggle. The moment she sat in the chair, she would panic and have a terrible experience. As a parent, it was heartbreaking. But this time was completely different. Brenda was absolutely amazing. She took the time to gently explain everything to my daughter and showed her how each tool worked in a way that wasn’t scary at all. She was so patient, kind, and understanding. My daughter ended up loving the entire experience—something I never thought I’d say about a dental visit! It truly brought tears to my eyes seeing her feel so comfortable and safe. I am beyond grateful for the care we received and will definitely be recommending this dentistry to everyone I know. If you’re looking for a place where you and your children will be treated with kindness, respect, and genuine care, this is it.
I was charged a no show fee while I had the flu. I was told that because I have been sick before I was going to get charged for it (I am immunocompromised). Not really great as I had no option but to take the fee. I will not be a patient with them in the future.
I just had my first appointment there after switching from another dentist. I found the level of service and care to be excellent! I'm recommending Smith Family to all my friends.
The staff was very nice and professional, Dr Gonzalez was fantastic and explained what needed to be done to correct my problem, assistant Krizia was very sweet and caring taking my stays with a great personality, I would definitely recommend Smith family dental to everyone.
Have been going here for around 5 years and I don't have anything to complain about. The front desk people are kind and understanding. The dentist is professional and usually has all the right answers when tasked. Lastly, I've been seeing the same hygienist Lisa and she is as amazing. Super nice, friendly and keeps you comfortable while working. Some people may underestimate good customer care but this is the root of a good business. We need more people like Lisa!!!!
I had my first cleaning with Brenda today and it was by far the best and most relaxing cleaning I've ever had. She was very kind and friendly and made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process. For the first time, I experienced no pain during a cleaning. Stephanie at the front desk was very helpful and kind as well and has a very beautiful soul. It was like love at first sight when I saw her! Thank you all for the amazing dental experiences today! I'll never go to another dentist office again!
