How we work

A dental office that explains before it treats

Your dentist shows you what they found, goes over your options and writes down the plan before anything starts.

Lapis Dental is a group practice of three dentists in Stamford. We see families who live here and professionals who work here, and we keep Saturday mornings open for people whose weekdays are full. At your first visit you get an exam, X-rays if your dentist decides you need them, and a conversation about what we found. Treatment follows only after you've seen the plan and the estimate.

  • Digital X-rays

    Taken when your dentist decides you need them, and shown to you on screen so you can see what they see.

  • Comfort first

    Numbing before treatment, breaks whenever you ask, and each step explained before it happens.

  • Care for every age

    Children, teens, adults and grandparents see the same three dentists, so your family has one office.

  • When something hurts

    Call us about a toothache or a broken tooth and we'll tell you what we can do today. If you can't breathe or swallow, call 911.

How It Works

Your path from first call to follow-up

Four steps, and you decide at each one.

  1. 01

    Step 1: Request a visit

    Use the form or call us. Tell us your preferred day and whether you'd like us to reply by call, text or email.

  2. 02

    Step 2: Exam and conversation

    Your dentist examines your teeth and gums, takes X-rays if they decide you need them, and talks through what they found.

  3. 03

    Step 3: Your plan, in writing

    You get the options, the visits each one takes and an estimate, with time to ask questions before you choose.

  4. 04

    Step 4: Treatment and follow-up

    Treatment starts when you say so. We check in afterward and book your next checkup before you leave.
