About Our New Haven, CT Dental Practice
A Dental Team That Listens First
For more than 40 years, the Center for Esthetic Dentistry has been a place where people feel known, heard, and never judged. Dr. Summer Lerch built this New Haven dental practice around a rare mix of science and artistry, and around a team that genuinely loves what they do. Many of us have worked together for years, and patients feel that closeness the moment they walk in.
We believe great cosmetic dentistry is a collaboration between you, our team, and our dental lab. You always have a say in your outcome with a mirror in every room, and time to ask every question. That’s how you end up with a smile that looks like you, only more confident and free.
Comfort in Every Detail
A Warm, Home-Like Space
Our office is filled with color and art, and patients often say it feels more like walking into a home than a dental office. It’s a calm, welcoming place designed to put you at ease from the moment you arrive.
The Same Familiar Faces
You’ll see the same team each visit. Our team members stay for years, so you build real relationships with our hygienists, assistants, and doctors who care for you rather than meeting someone new every time.
Free Off-street Parking
Skip the downtown parking hunt. We have free patient parking right behind the building, so your visit starts without the stress of circling the block.
A Celebration at the Finish
When your smile design is complete, we mark the moment with a smile styling visit, photos, and a little celebration. Finishing your treatment should feel like the milestone it truly is!
