Our Values
We combine old-school friendliness with cutting-edge advancements. It’s a labor of love, and it seems to resonate – we’ve grown to over 20 locations throughout Rhode Island and Connecticut.
Our clinicians provide comprehensive, compassionate general, specialty and cosmetic dental care to over 60,000 patients annually. Staying true to our core values is our number one priority. We’re so grateful to our fantastic staff and our loyal patient base, and we’re committed to serving both as we grow.
You’ll feel right at home in your local Plum Dental® office.
That’s because our practices – and the people who run them – represent the town they serve. We take pride in staying true to the local values and maintaining a small-town dental office feel.
Our Plum Dental® Values
COMPASSIONATE CARE
At Plum Dental®, empathy and respect are “in our blood.” Decades ago Dr. P. Edward Capalbo set the tone for uncommon compassion. His sons and grandsons carried this attitude forward and instilled it in their staff. We listen, answer questions, and get to know each patient as a person. It’s an approach that comes from the heart and is a proven way to provide the best care.
ALWAYS ADVANCING
We pride ourselves on offering the safest and most effective services in dentistry. We’re always on the lookout for new advancements. Our clinicians enjoy continuous education and pass along new knowledge to our patients.
COMMITTED TO PREVENTION
As Dr. P. Edward Capalbo always said: an ounce of prevention goes a long way. That wisdom holds true today. The best dental visit is one that requires no follow-up, except for the next hygiene appointment. We educate patients on proper oral health to help them avoid problems down the road.
COLLABORATIVE CARE
There’s nothing “old-school” about our tech and innovation and most of the time, more perspective is better than less. Our partner dentists collaborate to meet the needs of every patient. We organize a qualified team and have systems in place to keep everyone on the same page.
COMMITTED TO OUR COMMUNITIES
It’s our long-held belief that the best dental care happens well before there’s any sign of trouble. That’s why we host public awareness initiatives in our communities. Events, engagements, sponsorships, social media – whatever it takes. We see it as our role (and privilege) to be an active voice in our communities on the topic of oral health. We're committed to education and initiatives that support dental care for all patients and many of our dentists participate as provider volunteers for the Dental Lifeline Network.
DEDICATED TO HEALTHY SMILES
We began as a single practice. Today we’re a thriving organization advancing dentistry in new ways. Each of our dentists brings expertise and uses the latest techniques. From routine cleanings and check-ups to fillings and crowns, we offer the best possible care, period. That’s our mission and promise to every patient!
