Prosthodontics, when I got exposed to it, I was like, 'That 's something I 'm really good at,' and that 's what led me to develop the passion that I have for it, and it 's what led to me go into my residency, which was two years, and then I also did an American Cancer Society Fellowship for a year. That exposed me to the world of implants, and I got to tell you, it 's an ongoing process. I 've been doing it for 32 years. I have more excitement for it today than I did at the very beginning. Dentistry has been a joy. It 's been a privilege. The staff that I work for is wonderful. They 're so kind and giving, and they give their effort, and I love my patients.
They said that it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert at something. That's what I felt that we got in our residency. But then, you couple that with a lifetime of learning, so over the last 30 years, I have probably spent maybe another 10, maybe another 15,000 hours of honing my skill. What it allows me to do is honestly, I look in a mouth today, I'm never surprised. I've seen it before. I know what's there and I know where it's going, and I can help you see that.
That's the whole objective that I have is that if I'm able to show you what's going on, where are you heading, what decisions do you need to make in order to prevent or avoid some obstacles. There's no such thing as a shortcut. If there was a shortcut, and it was little risk, that would be called the way. The shortcuts just lead to more risks. What I like to do is have patients engage with me and see the direction that they're going, and if I can help them, awesome. I think it comes off great. That's what experience does. I've been there before. I know what I'm looking at and I know how to fix it.
With 35 years of experience, Dr. Pablo Cuevas has been committed to excellence in dentistry as a lecturer, tenure-track faculty member, researcher, and practitioner. While he has experience in many areas of dentistry, as a prosthodontist, he is especially skilled in restoring and replacing teeth. After earning his dental degree from the University of Iowa, he was accepted into a premier postgraduate specialty training residency in prosthodontics. He then completed an American Cancer Society Fellowship in oncology and maxillofacial prosthetics at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Department of Otolaryngology. (This facility is consistently ranked #1 by U.S. News & World Report.)
After completing this extensive, mastery-level training, Dr. Cuevas was recruited to the nationally top-ranked University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine. As a full-time tenure-track faculty member, he taught both undergraduate and graduate-level courses. Dr. Cuevas publications and research projects focus primarily on dental implants and cosmetic dentistry. He recently attended the S.M.A.R.T. training course which allows for minimally invasive bone grafting, which will improve patient outcomes.
He was editor of a Dental Question and Answer column for the Fairfield Citizen newspaper and is an avid contributor to the local community. His peers named him one of the states Top Prosthodontists for 10 years in a row in a Connecticut Magazine poll.
Meghan joined our team in 2015, beginning her dental career at the same time. Her favorite part of her job is seeing the transformation in a patients confidence when Dr. Cuevas completes their treatment. Meghan also enjoys working with a great team of coworkers who help create a fun environment. Outside of work, she likes to spend time with her family.
Gina has worked for us since 2017, her first job in the dental field. She likes her position here because she gets to meet new people and witness their transformations both inside and out. Away from the office, Gina enjoys traveling and spending time with her boyfriend, Jay, and their black lab, Benny.

The number one thing that sets us apart is, I'm not that dentist that jumps from chair to chair to chair. When you're here, I'm the only dentist here, and when you come to my office, you're going to get me and you're going to get me pretty much for the full hour when you're here. You're going to listen to 32 years experience, but then you're going to give me your feedback, what you want to have done. If I can do it for you and it keeps your mouth healthy and beautiful and functioning, that's the direction that we can go.
I've hired people to have that same passion for dentistry. I have an office manager, I have two scheduling coordinators, I have a dental hygienist, my wife is still on board. So all of us look into one direction: it's making your mouth as healthy and as functional as possible.
As far as my office philosophy, it's consistent excellence. Everything that we do I put 100 percent in, albeit the small little filling on the last tooth in your mouth. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well. I will put the same amount of effort, and I feel like my staff does the same thing for patients, is that even if we're just doing one filling or just cleaning your teeth, simple procedures like that are just as important as the 10 veneers or the 20 veneers or the 12 implants, those type of things, or the complete denture. Because it's important to you, it's really important to me.
You can relax knowing youll receive care from a dentist who appeared in Connecticut Magazines annual list of Top Dentists for 10 consecutive years. He cares so much about his patients, he even makes it possible to contact him after hours for dental emergencies. Every member of our team shares his commitment to patient comfort, as youll see in our patient testimonials.
Even with our skilled team and comfort amenities, we know youll sometimes feel anxious about a procedure. If you do, you can choose one of our two forms of dental sedation. Easily administered laughing gas soothes nerves in most situations. For more extreme anxiety or more complicated procedures, you have the option of IV sedation.
