  • My first visit to the office was for a consult for frenectomy for my newborn. Staff very friendly & informative. They were calm, patient, & great bedside skills, taking time to explain procedure, handling my newborn gently. I plan on continuing her dental care with this group, very impressed. -Lynn C 11/21/17
  • If ever a person really "earned" their paycheck, It is Dr. Anna Capalbo! My child has special needs and Dr. Capalbo goes far above and beyond to make my daughter's dental experience as pleasant as can be. She is patient, she is kind, she is loving - and she sings! Who could ask for more when it comes to calming the fears of a child?!

  • It was our first time, my daughter who is 22 months had a great visit! Everyone was nice, and helpful. They even helped make her feel very comfortable, which is a plus since a lot of people don't enjoy going to the dentist. Thank you Children's dentistry of Westerly keep up the great work!!!

  • We love Dr. Shannon and Dr. Capalbo. They along with their friendly staff make my children extremely comfortable and safe. They have never been nervous to go to the dentist, and they know at a really young age how important it is to take care of their teeth and keep the "sugar bugs" away.
  • After going to a different Pediatric Dentist for 6 years and not being happy, knowing that there has to be a better group that will do well with high anxiety kids, I switch. Today was our first visit and I am beyond happy with how everyone treated my daughter and myself. She doesn’t like the dentist and has a really hard time with going. It was a long visit because they took their time and worked with her. In the end she was hugging Dr. Capalbo and Kim. I think she is going to have an easier time going to the dentist know how nice everyone was. I look forward to a long relationship with this group. I couldn’t have asked for better people and the most child friendly environment. - Katie Q 2/9/18
  • Very smart and knowledgable dentists. They are also very nice with good senses of humor. All three of my children enjoy their visits to Drs. Capalbo and Shannon.
  • I am so grateful that my children have such great dental care. Thank you!

  • Very happy when the staff called me to see if I would like to come in sooner than our appointment next week. Dr. Shannon and Dr. Capalbo fantastic. The staff is great too.
  • Evelyn was very nervous about having her tooth pulled today. To make matters more stressful, I was stuck out of town and she had to be brought by Grandma to her visit. She called me immediately after getting out saying it was a breeze! Dr. Capalbo does a great job not only with the dental piece of her profession but also with calming nervous children and making them feel comfortable and safe. Mark 1/19/18
  • Excellent all round care for Isabelle. She enjoyed the visit.
  • "It was our first visit to this Dentist Office and my son needed to have 2 teeth pulled for the first time. The dentist and assistant were so great with my son and explained everything and it was done and over in minutes. I could not have asked for a better experience and I highly recommend them."by Erica K.
  • My son had to have teeth extracted and was very anxious, because of a previous bad experience. Dr. Capalbo was so amazing! She calmly talked my son through each step, soothing his concerns all along the way. She also used humor well. He had the procedure done and didn't even realize he had had the "numbing shots," the part he was most anxious about. Thank you, Dr. Capalbo!

  • I've been coming to Dr. Shannon's office since I was a kid. I've always had such a great experience here. The staff is all so nice! They have all taken such great care of my teeth and my sister and I over the years.
