I truly love what I do. My profession is the perfect blend of science and art and I am still amazed at the difference that a great smile can make on ones self-esteem. I would not trade this for the world. Dr. Previtt

Dr. Mark Previtt has proudly served the New Haven and Naugatuck Valley areas since 1986. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, he attended the University of Pittsburgh for his dental and orthodontic training.

Dr. Previtt and his staff strive to create a warm, comfortable environment that is full of laughter and fun for their patients and their families. Great attention is given to presenting comprehensive, conservative treatment plans and to involve the family in the decision-making process. Dr. Previtt would like to treat your child in a manner that he would want his own family to be treated.

A long-time member of several professional organizations, Dr. Previtt makes continuing education a priority in his practice. He is an active member of an interdisciplinary dental study club which keeps him constantly updated on all phases of dentistry as they relate to orthodontics. Dr. Previtt has also been named in Connecticut Magazines list of Top Dentists since it began in 2009.

An avid Pittsburgh sports fan, Dr. Previtt takes his Steelers very seriously. You may have noticed the banners displayed in the windows as you drive down Route 34. Being an accomplished metal sculptor, he has been affiliated with Creative Arts Workshop in New Haven since 1993. He also enjoys racquetball, cycling, and working out.

You cannot help but notice the relaxed, friendly atmosphere that permeates throughout the office. Laughing is contagious and it will not be long before you feel as if you are one of the family. That might be why so many of our patient referrals come from friends, family, or co-workers, as well as the general dentist.

Keeping the proper perspective is critical. Dr Previtt tries to propose the treatment options that he would if it were his own family. If he feels that your child is not yet ready for treatment, they will be placed on recall until the time is more appropriate. If an early phase of treatment is necessary, he will keep it as simple and practical as possible.

Serving the New Haven/Naugatuck Valley since 1986, Dr. Previtt still emphasizes the importance in continuing education in keeping the practice up-to-date with current techniques and technology. His involvement in a multi-disciplinary study group helps to keep him abreast of all phases of dentistry as they relate to orthodontics.

The cost of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the needs of your child. We will discuss fees and payment options before treatment is started and can find an option that fits your budget. With a small down payment, we will commonly finance interest-free monthly payments over the course of treatment. Most major credit cards are accepted. We accept assignment from most insurance plans and will assist you in filing the paperwork.

Most of us have experienced orthodontic relapse over the years, but retention is quite different these days. Long-term success is now our goal. Retainers are much easier and designed to keep your smile looking great for years to come. Therefore, Dr. Previtt will continue to see you for as long as you wish at no additional charge.

We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice. We are pleased to welcome you and your family, and we look forward to working with you.
