Dr. David Scardella grew up in Princeton Junction, New Jersey. He always loved playing sports and his passion for ice hockey first brought him to Massachusetts at the age of 16 when he attended Milton Academy. He then went on to attend Wesleyan University (Middletown, CT) and it was there that he decided to pursue a career in dentistry. Dr. Scardella received his DMD from Rutgers School of Dental Medicine (Newark, NJ). He then completed advanced training in a General Practice Residency at the Washington, D.C. Veterans Affairs Medical Center. During his residency, Dr. Scardella was able to expand his dental skills while treating a deserving and diverse patient base.
'I have been in the dental field for 25 years, starting out with Dr. Santelli in Plymouth in 1990. I love my job as much now as I did back then. I 'm a people person and like to make our patients feel comfortable and happy while in the office. When I 'm not working, I love spending time with my family in Maine. Family, Friends, Laughter!' -- Stevie
'Being in the dental profession for nearly 30 years has allowed me to assist our patients with all their dental concerns. A happy patient is always my goal. Loving what I do is an important part of who I am. I also enjoy taking walks with my husband, traveling, and dinners with my family and friends.' -- Kathy
'I 've been in the dental field for many years now, first as a dental assistant and then as a hygienist. I have been fortunate enough to work with some really special co-workers and I again join them with Dr. Scardella. I enjoy educating my patients and helping them improve their dental and overall health. When I 'm not working I enjoy spending time doing almost anything outside with my family and friends and traveling with my husband.'

In search for a new dentist, I was very fortunate to find Dr. Scardella. He is very professional, yet so friendly, kind and caring. He and his team are amazing! They all make you feel extremely comfortable, as though you are their only patient! You know from the start, you are in good hands! My end results were exactly what I had hoped! After 60 years, I can recommend a dentist and actually say, I look forward to my next appointment! Dr.Scardella is highly recommended!!

This a FANTASTIC practice. I have moved many times and have visited many dental practices....some good, some not so good. Dr. Scardella's office is GREAT. He has built a team of dentistry professionals who are kind, caring, and display the utmost in attention to detail. The front desk will always do their best to arrange a scheduled appointment that is best for you. Appointments are scheduled so that I never have to wait more than 5 minutes. The dental hygienists are skillful and pleasant. Dr. Scardella communicates well and is genuinely concerned for every patient. From the waiting room, to the equipment, and to the supporting staff...Dr. Scardella has invested in the future if this practice. I plan on making him " my dentist."

As a person who has more than a passing familiarity with the trauma of dental pain, I have been the guest of many dentists. They have ranged from abominable (Thank you U.S. Navy) to inept to horrid and then I walked into the Center for progressive dentistry in Duxbury and I met Dr. Scardella. He listened to every concern that I had and took the time to care about every level of detail in my treatment. It is astonishing when a dentist takes the time to actually listen to a patient so entirely. Dr. Scardella heard me and the excellent treatment that I received is the result. I couldn't be happier. Beside the good doctor, he has a fantastic staff of knowledgeable, cheerful professionals that make every aspect of a visit to his office a genuinely pleasant experience. The South Shore has loads of dentists but you would be hard pressed to find a better one than Dr. Scardella and the fine people at the Center for Progressive Dentistry in Duxbury.

I have had horrible experiences with (some) dentists in my long life, a legit phobia, super sensitive teeth. Dr. S. saved a tooth that fractured at the gum line, a big gaping hole, fun stuff. I get nervous and talk to much, before and...DURING...my teeth being worked on. Litteraly zero pain, and I was waiting for it. Even the novicane needle didn't hurt, as I clutched the chair arms waiting for pain. A first for me. He and the dental assistant had a lot of patience with a nervous, talkative patient that sounded like an adult in a Charlie Brown cartoon. It was quite the broken tooth he saved with a crown. When the novicaine wore off it did hurt a bit, which I expected (super sensitive teeth) but no gaping hole. It settled down after a couple of days, and I still have a tooth!!! Thanks Doc!!! Highly recommend .

I called this office early morning because of a chipped filling I noticed last night. They got me in right away and promptly fixed the filling. It was as pleasant as getting a filling replaced can be! :)

As far back as I can remember I have had issues in going to the dentist. As a result, for 5 years I had not been to the dentist prior to discovering Dr. Scardella in 2019. When I saw an ad for the Center for Progressive Dentistry I decided to give them a try. Was I ever pleasantly surprised. I needed a lot of dental work including 2 extractions and 3 implants. Dr. Scardella totally understood my feelings about dentistry and took me on a journey that I had never been on with a dentist before. Dr. Scardella and his staff were not only very professional but also very caring and concerned about my comfort throughout all the necessary procedures. I experienced virtually no pain at any time. And you can even request your favorite music to listen to while in the dental chair- I like 50's music. Bottom line, I would highly recommend Dr. Scardella and his wonderful staff to anyone who who may have had concerns in going to a dentist in the past.

My dentist retired after a thirty year relationship. After considering the options in the Duxbury area, I decided to try the Center for Progressive Dentistry. I am extremely pleased with my choice. Dr. Scardella is a skilled dentist who goes out of his way to keep me informed about what needs to be done and how he plans to do it. The staff is professional and competent. An added bonus is the warm, friendly environment. The transition to the Center for Progressive Dentistry has been a wonderful experience!

Yesterday was my first visit to the Center For Progressive Dentistry. Dr. Scardella and his staff, Kathy, Irene, and Kate, are wonderful, exceptional, kind people. From the moment I walked in the door, they made me feel welcome and at ease. It seemed as though they were waiting for me, and were genuinely happy to see me. Kate, the hygienist, is excellent; I will always ask for her in future appointments.
