Best Dentist
In Connecticut

Here is a list of the best dentists in Connecticut, based on patient reviews, awards, and professional recognition: This list is not based on advertising or payment. Dentists cannot 'buy' their way onto my list.

These are dentists that I have become familiar with over the last 40 years, either by personal interaction, online, at Continuing Education courses, or by reputation.

They all have exceptional skills, and are experts in one or more fields. I would trust these dentists to work in my mouth without hesitation!

This list is not comprehensive, and I will be adding to it regularly.

Dr Nicholas Calcaterra DDS

Dr. Nick graduated number one in his class from the University at Buffalo (SUNY) School of Dental Medicine, receiving his D.D.S. degree Summa Cum Laude in 2009. Dr. Calcaterra then furthered his training by completing the residency program in General Dentistry at Saint Francis Hospital in Hartford, CT. Prior to attending dental school, Dr. Calcaterra received his B.S. in Geological Sciences from Tufts University.

As a general dentist, Dr. Nick is highly skilled in all areas of dentistry, treating children and adults. In addition to providing family dental care, he also focuses on the field of IV sedation dentistry, and is widely regarded as Connecticut’s most accomplished sedation dentist.

He is currently the only general dentist in Connecticut who has achieved Master status through the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology. This is the highest level a general dentist can achieve in anesthesiology and can only be obtained after passing rigorous board exams. He has a current license to administer Intravenous Sedation in his office, a license that only four other Connecticut general dentists have been granted. He receives referrals from all over New England and New York to treat patients under IV sedation.
