Hi neighbors! I just moved here from Pennsylvania and I’m looking for a new dentist that’s taking new patients. I’m kinda picky about dentists and prefer someone who is gentle - I have sensitive ass teeth 😅 TIA

If you’re open to driving to Norwalk (exit 16 off 95) Dr. Stebbins is legit the best dentist ever!

Old Greenwich Dental Center. Great people. Right at the OG train if you need it. Ample parking if you have a car.

Dr. LoPresti right downtown. He's a second-generation dentist. There are two LoPrestis Jon and Matt. You want Matt. He started it and he's the best.

Also I don't think he'll ever admit it but I think there's a requirement for his staff to be phenomenally attractive. They're all very good at their job too.

I love Dr Patel at the Stamford dental spa! The staff are so nice and it’s just a very chill, relaxing atmosphere.

Funny timing, I just went to my new dentist today for the first time since moving here. I went to Dr. David Rosch.

I really liked the office and him. I usually hate the dentist but he was so nice and patient with answering all of my questions. I hated my last dentist and I left very happy today.

You’re welcome. I haven’t gone to him personally, but my brother has. He had a bunch of work done and it was shoddy. He went to another local dentist to get it fixed and the new dentist said, “let me guess, Dr. Stein?”

Apparently. In another twist of fate that he has no control over, his hygienist went off the rails a few years ago and hid in the back seat of her ex boyfriends new girlfriends car and stabbed her when she got in the car

Dr. Chopra (Norwalk Dental Care) is truly amazing. I had a terrible couple of experiences with a dentist on Long Island and she rescued my mouth. Fixed a chipped bottom front tooth, identified a poorly fixed cavity in another tooth and performed a root canal to save it. Her work is flawless. Dental hygienists are gentle, kind, and do great work and any pain is addressed promptly and respectfully. I actually love my dentist!

Looks like you've got a lot of recs, but I will add that Dr. Cimato at Harbor Point Dental is great as well!

My heart goes out to you re: sensitive af teeth. For some reason my mouth takes a while to get numb and I need 2 doses of whatever they administer with the needle. They never make me feel bad, and are actually really patient and understanding about it. They just check in and if I'm not numb enough, they give me more and then we hang out and chit chat until I start slurring my words and then we get to work, LOL.

I used to love going to the dentist (weirdo alert) but the dentist I went to on LI the year I lived there used the most intense cleaning methods unnecessarily (I didn't have gingivitis or periodontitis but he claimed I needed my teeth descaled over the course of 2 months as well as several fillings and caused bruising and bleeding) and didn't employ a hygienist, he did the cleanings and fillings alone. Anyway, one filling was crappy and caused further decay and the tooth ended up cracked, I could see the back of it moving when flossing. I had just moved to Norwalk by the time I realized what had happened (and the pain was getting worse) and had received a mailing from Dr. Chopra's office and thought I'd give them a try. I moved to a nearby state last year and still came back to Dr. Chopra every 6 months anyway because I feel like I can't trust anyone else now and I'm so thankful for her.

That is just terrible, he was doing way more harm than good to your teeth… that makes me cringe just reading about your LI dental experience. I just read a ton of reviews for Dr Chopra’s office and turns out they take my insurance and have an average of 4.9 star reviews (that’s the best one I’ve seen so far!)

I’m thankful for your review as I take my dentist visits very seriously. I’m so nervous to switch as I’ve been going to the same dental office since I was a kid so maybe that’s my weirdo alert? Lol I hope you have a wonderful night and again, thanks for the thorough recommendation!

Vinny’s Backyard is a dive bar that has arguably the best wings in town and they have good cracker crust pizza too. My family and I actually sampled wings from about 6 restaurants a few weeks back trying to see who had the best. Vinny’s and Murphy’s town house were the winners (according to us anyway)

‼️ Bonus points if you have any oral surgeon recommendations for wisdom teeth extraction in Stamford/surrounding areas!

Forgot to mention on my OG post that I need all 4 taken out like yesterday 😅

I really like Dr. Roth at Dental Care of Stamford, on summer street. Kirsti is my favorite hygienist there, they are both kind and gentle but thorough. The office does wisdom tooth extractions as well, I believe.

Seconded. Plus his hygienists have been super rude before. One said “ew” when looking at my teeth (in his defense, they prob weren’t great since I was a kid and didn’t have a great upbringing, but still hurt). I also have kept refusing braces due to finances, but while most have let it go after a minute or two, one of the hygienists kept pressing even after I explained that we couldn’t afford it, which as a 14 year old just made me feel worse. Finally, last time I showed up (I’m in my 20’s now), my cleaning lasted 15 minutes and they didn’t bother making me a new appointment at all. Immediately started looking for someone new and now pay fully out of pocket just to avoid them.

Dr. Diette of Family Dental in Darien is amazing! My family and I have gone there for decades and it's been nothing but a great experience!

Came here to say this! Nidia at the front desk is a literal angel. I love how they take the time to describe the recommended procedures, how much it would cost, and they are excellent at communicating with my insurance company to iron out all the necessary details. Dr. Kim may be the most chill dentist I've ever had. Can't recommend this office enough.

Dr. Poon @ Newfield Dental. They also have the nicest hygenists. Literally the nicest most non-judgmental office I’ve ever been to.
