Your Downtown New Haven Dentist on Orange Street

Center for Esthetic Dentistry is a general, restorative and cosmetic dental practice at 375 Orange Street in downtown New Haven, CT, two blocks from the New Haven Green and near Yale University, with free parking behind the building. Dr. Summer Lerch and Dr. Frank Amaefuna care for checkups and cleanings, root canals, crowns and bridges, and dentures and partials, alongside the smile design our office is known for.

Caring for your smile in the heart of downtown

Between work, campus and everything happening around the Green, it's easy to let a checkup slide until something feels wrong, and by then the last thing you want is a long drive across town. Our office sits right on Orange Street, so the team that knows your smile is close to where your day already happens: you park free behind the building, walk into an office filled with art, and see the same warm faces every visit. If you live in East Rock, Wooster Square or the Ninth Square, we're just as close to home.

Everyday care with a cosmetic eye

General dentistry with us covers the care that keeps a smile healthy: checkups, cleanings and preventive treatment, plus the restorative work you need when something goes wrong. Dr. Amaefuna focuses on general dentistry and root canals, and when a tooth needs a crown afterward, we make sure it blends in with the rest of your smile. For general dentistry we are in-network with Delta Dental of New Jersey, and we walk through what your plan covers before you decide anything.

Smile design, close to home

The same office is where Dr. Lerch, the fourth woman ever Accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, designs porcelain veneers, Invisalign treatment and full smile makeovers. If you've been picturing the smile you'd love to have, you don't have to leave downtown to meet the person who plans it with you.
