“I had a great experience at Laughlin Dental! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by Emma at the front desk she was incredibly kind, professional, and went out of her way to make sure I felt welcome. She answered all my questions with a smile and made the check-in process effortless. Dr. Laughlin and his team were just as fantastic, thorough, knowledgeable, and focused on patient comfort. The office is modern, offering same-day crowns and free cosmetic consultations, which is a huge plus. They also work with many insurance providers, making quality care accessible. I highly recommend Laughlin Dental.”

“I have been coming to Dr. Laughlin for over 20 years. When I met him, my teeth were in horrible shape and I was distrustful of dentists in general. Over the course of 2 decades and I have traveled from multiple states away to maintain my dentistry care with Dr. Laughlin. His commitment to the care of his patients, conservative approach, and personal connections have made all the difference and are the reason I still fly in from CT to see him. Could not recommend him, Lisa and the entire crew enough. World-class care!”
