Our story

A practice built on explaining first

Dr. Chiara Ferraro opened Lapis Dental in Stamford so patients would get the plan, the options and the estimate in plain words before treatment.

Dr. Ferraro came to Stamford after working in large dental offices where visits ran short, and she wanted a practice where your dentist has time to explain. Lapis Dental has grown from one dentist into a group of three, with a front desk that checks your benefits ahead of time. We keep Saturday mornings for families and for people who work in the city all week.

  • 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.
