Dr. Francis D'auria

North of Forest Park, near Stratton Road, one quiet corner surprises first-time visitors with its unexpected medical touch. Dr. Francis D'auria sits on that unassuming stretch of Rutland real estate, delivering dental work to a neighborhood that values continuity. The address—240 Stratton Rd Ste 2, Rutland, VT 05701—is easy to reach if you’re looping off Route 4.

A dentist office at that crossroads might sound ordinary, yet the practice quietly draws locals for everything from routine cleaning to porcelain crowns, Invisalign adjustments, and root canals. Children needing fillings and adults seeking teeth whitening or sleep-apnea appliances find common procedures wrapped into a single appointment flow rather than multiple errands across town. The sign outside won’t shout, which keeps the sidewalk feeling relaxed rather than clinical.

Call in ahead and a polite scheduler will pencil you in without unnecessary small talk. Reach the front desk by dialing (802) 775-5777 on weekdays; the voice that answers has no agenda beyond confirming a date and time. No voicemail loops, no maze of prompts—just a straightforward conversation about the next available slot. Filling out new-patient forms beforehand, if you choose, shaves minutes off the first visit.

Still can’t place the building? Use the map link for turn-by-turn nudges. Once you park between the mobile-phone outlet and the karate studio, the dental door is tucked in a breezeway you’ll spot even at dusk. Trust your eyes when you see the blue-green house numbers—that’s the place.
