James Patterson DDS

The James Patterson DDS office sits along River Street, a stretch where old brick storefronts meet the waterfront’s steady hum. Walk down from the Washington Park end, and you’ll spot the modest sign set into the sidewalk-level storefront; it’s one of the few neighborhood businesses that hasn’t moved or rebranded in years. The street’s brick sidewalks, uneven in spots, still draw locals heading to the market on Main, making this corner feel like part of the daily rhythm rather than a detour.

This general Dentist practice handles the usual preventive maintenance—cleanings, exams, and x-rays—but also slips in a few less common services you might not expect from a single storefront. Patients can drop in for teeth whitening between errands, or swing by after work for a quick mouthguard fitting. Kids needing sealants or athletes seeking sports dentistry rarely need to travel farther than the next block. The same office handles fillings, crowns, and even basic orthodontic referrals without sending patients across town.

If you’re coming from the east side, head west on Main toward the river; the office is two blocks past the library on the left. The address—114 River St, Bridgeport, CT 06604—puts it within a five-minute walk of the health clinic and a handful of cafés that open before eight. River Street’s angled parking spots are usually free after ten, though a quick scan of the meters is the only rule you’ll need to remember.

Need directions? The office is listed on Google Maps under its exact location—pin it on your phone when you park, then walk the last hundred feet without worrying about landmarks. When you call to schedule, mention whether you’re coming in for a cleaning or something more involved; *(203) 612-6971* will connect you straight to the front desk.
