Jay Dworkin said some key advice he took from his dad was to treat people kindly, like they’re part of the family. Maybe that’s why third and fourth generations of Valley families have been returning here for decades for teeth cleanings, root canals and crowns.
“I worked alongside my dad for 10 years and he taught me a lot, and today, my daughter is teaching me new things," said Dworkin.”We’ve come full circle. My dad also taught me to balance work, family and play. He set a very high bar for the business and I’m sure he would be proud of how far we’ve come.”
The Dworkins, their partners and staff have even more reason to celebrate, as the practice was again named top dentist in the state by Connecticut Magazine for a third consecutive year.

Our office is committed to helping you maximize your insurance benefits. Because insurance policies vary, we can only estimate your coverage in good faith but cannot guarantee coverage due to the complexities of insurance contracts. Your estimated patient portion must be paid at the time of service. As a service to our patients, we will bill insurance companies for services and allow them 45 days to render payment. If you have any questions, our courteous staff is always available to answer them.
