Dr. Joel Chasen grew up in Cheshire, CT. After graduating from Choate Rosemary Hall in 1992 he moved to Atlanta where he earned his Bachelors degree from Emory University. He then went on to obtain his DMD degree from the Harvard School of Dental Medicine where he graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2000.

His research has been published in the Journal of Dental Research as well as the Journal of Endodontics.

Dr. Chasen is a specialist member of the American Association of Endodontists, a past-president of the Meriden-Wallingford-Cheshire Dental society, and currently sits on the board of directors of the Schilder Institute for the Advancement of Endodontics.
