Born and raised on the north shore of Long Island, Dr. Justin Rivers earned his bachelors degree at the State University of New York at Binghamton. As an undergrad, Dr. Rivers was part of the volunteer team during a measles outbreak. After graduating with honors, Dr. Rivers attended the University of Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. He earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery with a minor in pediatrics, and was chosen as one of only three Americans to attend an externship at prestigious Guys Hospital in London, England.
Dr. Rivers completed a residency at Jamaica Hospital in New York City, one of the busiest trauma centers in the US. While a resident at Jamaica Hospital, Dr. Rivers received training in trauma, emergency medicine, and prosthetic surgery.
After his residency, Dr. Rivers continued to treat New York Citys less fortunate at a clinic in Flatbush, Brooklyn. In 2000, Dr. Rivers married his sweetheart, Saga, and left behind the excitement of NYC to begin a family and practice on Old Cape Cod. Although he cared very much for his patients in Brooklyn, Dr. Rivers wanted a pastoral setting to start his family, with sandy toes and salty air. The Rivers family is now complete with two beautiful children, Sasha and Jonah, and two sandy dogs. For almost fifteen years, Dr. Rivers has treated folks of all ages and backgrounds from all over the Cape. He and his staff provide state of the art dentistry with the personal touch of days gone by, and just a bit of merriment on the side! New patients are always welcome.
We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice. We are pleased to welcome you and your family, and we look forward to working with you.
In order to ensure my patients of all ages achieve optimum oral health, I provide comprehensive hygiene care, which includes performing oral cancer screenings, cleanings, and education about the importance of taking care of their teeth and gums. For me, patient care is my number-one priority.
My husband, Chris, and I have two children, Colby and Chloe. We all love to read, watch comedies, and go on family vacations. Our two favorite places to visit are Disney World and Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia!

I was in a lot of pain and didn't want to bother Dr.Rivers on his w/e of skiing. Called his answering service & was told some one would call me back. Didn't happen. Tried again the next day, to no avail. Thought he would have an emergency back up person. All I needed was a script for an antibiotic to be called in...but nope. I didn't want to ask him to come in on a Sunday (not knowing he was also taking Monday off!) My husband &I have been patients for years. You would think that would count for something but no. Bottom line, I felt he didn't care about me. That made me so sad. My husband was angry. The new receptionist was very dismissive and condescending. We have since changed dentists. Just thought you all should know.

Best dentist I have ever seen, and i have seen a lot of them. Wouldn't go to anyone else, I travel over 30 min to get there but it's worth it!
