Dr. Westerman has and continues to practice dentistry in his home office for over 30 years.He graduated from Colby College with a BA in Biochemistry and Math-Economics, and received his dental DMD degree from the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. He belongs to the American Dental Association, the Connecticut State Dental Association, and the Naugatuck Valley Dental Society, where he served as president. Dr. Westerman has served as the Dental Director at two facilities in Southbury the Lutheran Home and Pomperaug Woods.
Continuing education has always been a passion for Dr. Westerman. He is an active member of the Academy of General Dentistry, a national organization committed to continuing education. He earned his Fellowship in 1998 and is getting close to achieving Mastership, the highest level of achievement. One of his favorite aspects of dentistry is taking time to get to know his patients, treating them as neighbors, family and friends, and not just mouths.
On days off, he may be seen around town jogging with Maddie, their energetic Chocolate Labrador. Now that his days of working with Boy Scouts and coaching youth sports are over, he has more time for leisure activities such as photography and guitar, fitness, hiking, cycling, golf, and skiing.

I have been seeing Dr. Westerman for over 10 years and having nothing be great things to say about him and his amazing staff. Like many, I have a decent amount of anxiety about going to the dentist, but he always makes each visit as comfortable and painless as possible. I feel like I'm always getting a highly personalized experience and the highest level of care. I recommend this office to anyone in the area.

Been a patient for over 8 years and he and his staff have taken very good care of my teath and gums. It's a very friendly old fashion office environment. My only issue is that they no longer do insurance coverage precertification and they don't accept the maximum allowable fee as stated by your Dental insurance provider thus you wil be paying much more for services than other Dentists in the area. so over the last 2 years their fees have increased over 30% and I can no longer afford his treatments with my coverage.
