Dr. Ritzcovan grew up right down the road in Somers, New York graduating from Somers High School. Immediately following graduation he felt the call to serve his nation and enlisted in the US Marine Corps. After a successful career which entailed numerous overseas deployments, he rose from the rank of Private to the rank of Major. Following this service where integrity, justice and dedication to ones duty is paramount, he then decided to take on the new challenge of becoming a dentist.
Dr. Ritzcovan completed his residency training at the Veterans Administration in Castle Point, New York and was awarded his Advanced Education in General Dentistry Certificate. It was at this point, Dr. Ritzcovan and his family decided to move to Ridgefield, Connecticut.
Dr. Ritzcovan worked in a large group practice for many years in the Hudson Valley area while he earned his Fellowship in the surgical placement dental implants. While working in New York, Dr. Ritzcovan always hoped for an opportunity to purchase a practice in the town where he now lived. In 2018, that opportunity to purchase a practice in Ridgefield finally presented itself as longtime resident and dentist, Dr. James Finklea, thought about retirement. With Dr. Finkleas help and a hardy handshake, the practice was purchased in July 2018.
Now that Dr. Ritzcovan was now working and living in Ridgefield he decided to call his practice, Hometown Dental. He wanted his patients to feel at home during their dental visits so the office has been made to feel welcoming and warm. Dr. Ritzcovan has been married to his lovely wife for 22 years and has one beautiful young daughter. Dr. Ritzcovan enjoys hiking, fishing, art and working in the yard. He thrives on continuing education courses and always searches out new treatment opportunities.

I have taken both my elderly Aunt & Uncle to Hometown Dental. The entire staff is very friendly and professional. Dr. Ritzcovan could not be more pleasant and accommodating. He does everything to ensure you have minimum discomfort. The Dr. discusses a treatment plan and listens to what the patients goals ans wishes are. I could not be more pleased with how they treat their patients.

Best Dentist in Ridgefield. Had my first visit with Dr Nick today and was very pleased. He did a thorough exam, explained what he was doing and looking for. Made recommendations and made the visit very comfortable. The office was also very clean and the safety precautions were very obvious. Highly recommend Dr. Nick.

I had cracked a tooth & needed to have it taken care of so I looked on Google because I didn't have a dentist. I was able to get a same day appointment & get it taken care of. Dr. Ritzcovan, Amy & Ellen were great! I highly recommend them!
