Dr. Drake J. Battista, DDS

Near General Wing Road sits a longstanding dental practice always busy at the edge of Rutland’s residential stretch. Dr. Drake J. Battista, DDS keeps a steady schedule for cleanings, fillings, crowns, and simple extractions—nothing cosmetic listed here, just the essentials done well. Around the corner from Allen Street, the building sits mid-block between older single-family homes and newer duplexes, an easy drive from both halves of town.

Inside this unassuming storefront a team handles exams and X-rays with a focus on prevention; children’s fluoride treatments and adult periodontal maintenance appear as standard offerings in the usual slots. With a new-patient form online, you can breeze through what’s needed before stepping into the chair. Teeth-whitening isn’t on the roster, so if that’s your goal you’ll need to look elsewhere.

Before you leave your house on a weekday morning, call and check the daily openings. (802) 775-0819 will connect you to whoever answers; they’ll let you know if the next routine slot is free or if you’ll need to slide into a later week. Weekends stay dark here, so plan ahead if Monday through Thursday won’t work.

A quick turn onto General Wing then a left into the small lot puts you within steps of the door. Remember the map at https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89e024f7f042a13d:0xc5b89b0fc1470b05 should your GPS stumble. See you in the waiting area—not much to describe, but wait time is usually short.
