At the practice of Dr. Robert Rapisarda, we know that having a strong, beautiful smile that will last a lifetime is important to everyone. That is why we are committed to offering only the highest standard of dental care from sedation dentistry to laser dentistry to our patients from Worcester to Springfield.
Dr. Robert Rapisarda and our staff are keen to listen to your needs and concerns, and will work closely with you to achieve your goals. This individual attention ensures procedures are done right the first time. That is also why we have worked to nurture a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental atmosphere in our office so that each and every patient feels comfortable asking for and receiving the treatment they require.
Your comfort and rewarding experience are our top priorities! We know that many people feel nervous or fearful about visiting the dentist, so much so, in fact, that they often put off getting the dental care they need or would really like. For these patients, we offer oral conscious sedation. We stand among the best in sedation dentistry in Springfield, Worcester, and surrounding areas. During conscious sedation, the patient remains in a state of complete relaxation, though still awake, and feels no pain. We also offer laser dentistry from our offices near Worcester and welcome patients from Springfield and beyond. This helps us perform many routine and complex procedures more comfortably and efficiently, meaning our patients spend less time in the dentists chair.
Dr. Rapisarda earned his Doctor of Medical Dentistry (DMD) from the Tufts University of Dental Medicine in 1981. Since that time he has kept up with the latest developments in dental technology and technique by completing an average of 80 hours per year of postgraduate training.
Dr. Rapisarda's post-graduate training includes a series of courses offered through the Nash Institute for Dental learning titled The Esthetic Epitome Seminar Series as well as the full core curriculum offered at the world premiere postgraduate teaching facility The Las Vegas Institute.
Dr. Rapisarda also has extensive training and experience with comfort-driven (see Nu Calm) aesthetic dentistry. He maintains active membership inThe Academy of Laser Dentistrywhich supports the principle of offering his patients the best minimally invasive, comfortable,tech-oriented treatment optionsavailable.
I graduated from Springfield Technical Community College in 2000 with an Associate Degree in Dental Hygiene. I currently live in Western Massachusetts with my husband and two daughters. I have worked for Dr. Rapisarda for the past 16 years, where I take great pride in treating my patients like family. I strive to provide exceptional care in a relaxed environment.
I graduated from Porter and Chester Institute in 2015 with a certification in dental assisting. I then continued my education and took DANB tests to become a Certified Dental Assistant. I have had the pleasure to work for Dr. Rapisarda for the past 4 years and take much pride in the practice. I love making our patients feel comfortable while helping them in any way I can.

They were able to give me a same day appointment due to a toothache. The front desk staff were great and very helpful. The dentist was good as well and he was able to see is issue come up with a plan to fix the problem in a couple of days. Great to have a local business in town that cares about their patients. Thanks for going the extra mile!!

I moved here from out of State and was recommended Dr. Rapisarda's office by a friend. This is my first new Dentist in almost 20 years and it was a great experience. The staff is friendly, they seem to know their more long term patients by name and have a history with all of them. Dr. Rapisarda was straight forward and to the point and he and his staff make sure you aren't left in the dark about anything.

Very quick, absolutely painless, and the staff was delightful. Had a growing cavity and Dr Rapisarda saw me, over the holidays, to fix it. They also have newer non-sharp x-ray parts so you wont leave with a sore mouth after an exam.
