When I meet you, remember this introduction; it’s likely you’ll be looking up at me in this manner when I see you. 

I know that a dental office is not a place that most patients enjoy visiting.  Our goal is to provide you with superior care while we spend our time getting to know your needs, from your perspective.

One of my favorite aspects about practicing dentistry is getting to know my patients.  A core value of my practice is creating a comfortable environment for the people we have the privilege to serve.  I would like you to know that my team and I are committed to being your partner in creating a smile that lasts a lifetime—from the inside and out.

My background in dentistry is varied.  I wanted to take some time to share my curriculum vitae with you:

I graduated from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, MA.  I am a third generation dentist; my father, Mark S. Pollack DDS, is an Orthodontist in Windham County and Hartford County; and his father was a dentist, as well.

I have extensive continuing education in Forensic Dentistry, including course work with Dr. Henry Lee. I am an Appointed Team Leader for the Connecticut State Disaster Identification Response Team, and have held that position since the organization’s inception in 2004.   I am a member of the American Society of Forensic Odontology, American Dental Association, Connecticut State Dental Association, and my local dental society. I am on the American Dental Association’s Council of Scientific Affairs as a Clinical Evaluator of Dental Products and Materials for the profession. I am certified in anxiety management through DentalFear.com.  In 2007 I have taken an active role in the public health sector of dentistry by testifying before our state's legislature to increase access to care for Medicaid patients.

My practice skills are multi-dimensional in that I am versed in a number of different techniques, including Exceptional Oral Health Care for the Entire Family · Comprehensive Diagnosis and Treatment Planning to meet your needs ·  Periodontal Diagnosis, Treatment and Maintenance · Cosmetic Dentistry including, tooth colored fillings, porcelain inlays, onlays, veneers, whitening, bridges, Snap-On Smiles, and invisible orthodontics · Complete Reconstructive Dentistry including Root Canal Therapy, Implant supported crowns, bridges and dentures · Adult Orthodontics · TMJ therapy including night guards, bite guards and sport guards·  Oral Cancer Screenings and Tobacco Cessation · Halitosis and Dry Mouth Therapy · Anxiety and Pain Management.

With dentistry changing so rapidly, I am committed to keeping up to date with all new technologies and procedures.  I am a member of the SeattleStudyClub.com and I continually attend educational programs to deliver the highest level of care to my patients.

I hope to meet you soon so that I may begin to serve you with the exceptional level of dental care that you deserve.
