My passion is to create possibilities and enhance lives, one smile at a time. It is so exciting to help my patients achieve their dream smiles, especially when they never felt it was possible. When patients express their trust in me, thats rewarding. To me, being a dentist is the perfect marriage of art and science. Every day I get to help people not only to be healthier but to look and feel better in the process. My mission is to listen to each individuals concerns and create possibilities to achieve his or her personal goals.
I graduated Cum Laude from Fairfield University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. Next came my Doctorate of Dental Medicine (DMD), followed by a Residency and Fellowship in Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD), at the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine.In 1995, I was drawn to Windsor and developed Great New Smile.
Im so blessed to work with such an excellent team. Im constantly impressed by their ability to connect with patients of all different ages and backgrounds. They bring a personality and understanding to our practice that makes it a delightful place to wake up and go to every day. I truly appreciate every smile and hug my team brings to our office and I love our team-building exercises, like painting homes for Habitat for Humanity and going zip-lining.
Continuous education keeps my knowledge and skills on the leading-edge of dentistry, and stokes my passion for dentistry and wellness. With a blend of both Western science and traditional Ayurvedic Medicine, my patients benefit from a holistic approach to both their oral health and their overall health and wellbeing.
Throughout the year I participate in lectures and seminars, attend multiple meetings, and avidly study the latest journals. Staying up-to-date with new techniques and materials, as well as technological innovations, ensures I am offering patients proven, safe, and effective care.
I grew up in Naugatuck, Connecticut, and have lived in Avon for over 20 years. My husband Jerry and I have two amazing children now in college: Jacenda is studying to become a Physicians Assistant and Liam is pursuing degrees in Finance. Our Labradoodles, Nemo and Naya, keep our empty nest from feeling very empty!
When Im not at the office, I prefer to be in nature in solitude and with family and friends hiking, biking, skiing, and just about anything else in the fresh air! I also teach and share yoga and wellness online and in-person, enjoy reading nonfiction, and work jigsaw puzzles to unwind.
Over the years, in addition to projects and donations through Great New Smile, I have personally strived to serve others. I have taught community yoga to residents of St. Marys Home, Windsor Independent Living Association, and Yoga for Cancer Patients.
Our team is an extension of family. While some members are newer, others have been with the practice for over 20 years. Every team member is dedicated to making sure each person in our care knows they are safe, heard, and our top priority.
You, as an individual, are important to each and all of us. We will always see, listen to, and care for you holistically, putting your physical and emotional health, safety, and comfort at the forefront of all we do.
I am a graduate of Tunxis Community College, class of 1979, andbegan my career in this office the same year. My purpose is to ensure our patients dental needs are met with excellence in a comfortable,caring environment. We are a group of genuinely caring people who work together to give our best to our patients daily. We takemany continuing education courses to improve our quality of care constantly. The greatest reward I receive is being part of enhancing peoples lives through dentistry and establishing long-lasting relationships with those we serve.
When Im home, I enjoy spending time with my family. I have five beautiful grandchildren named Gabriel, Sophia, Francesca, Christianna, and Lucas. They keep their Nana busy! I also enjoy gardening, camping, boating, and yoga.
I started in the dental field in 1986 and graduated from a Technical School in Dental Assisting. I continue to further my dental education all year long, as we are always attending courses in the newest technologies and techniques. I joined Great New Smile in 2015 and assist Dr. Garceau in all facets of our dental practice. The best part of my job is partnering with our patients to help them achieve their best overall health. Our patients are like extended family and helping them brings me great joy.
I love working with Dr. Garceau and my team because we have fun while creating great new smiles. We make our patients overall health something to smile about. I love collaborating with our team, as it allows us to put all the pieces of the puzzle together. We can then care for our patients in the best possible way.
I am a blessed mother of one child, Molli, who is an alumnus of Emerson College and resides in NYC where she works for NBC. I am also an animal lover, especially cats. I love the beach, long walks, crocheting, and being with family and friends.
My husband Tom and I have been married for over 45 years. He is my best friend. We have three great children and two beautiful grandchildren. In my free time, I enjoy taking walks, bicycling, going out to dinner, and being with loved ones.
I love working with Dr. Garceau and this team because we all work so well together. Before working here, I was Dr. Garceaus patient and appreciate that she is a knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate dentist.
My career started in 2000, when I obtained my Dental Laboratory Technician Certification. Then, in 2012, I completed an Associates in Science of Dental Hygiene and local dental anesthesia at Tunxis Community College and came to work at Great New Smile. I perform dental prophylaxis (cleanings), preventive and maintenance care, and provide patient education. I love being able to help people achieve a smile that makes them proud.
Born and raised in Poland, I moved to the USA in 1998. In my free time, I love to spend time with my family, garden, hike, and enjoy good coffee. In addition to being a hygienist I am also a real estateagent. I have a passion for helping people improve their smile and finding their dream home.
We are frequently seen working on Fridays, when we help our mom (Dr. Garceau) in the office. Always keeping Dr. Garceau in my sight, I love to stand chair side with patients who enjoy petting me to relax during their visits.
