Dr. T did an incredible job repairing my damaged front tooth after an injury. Did an excellent crown procedure even though the tooth was very vulnerably cracked. Great work and service!

I’ve been going to Dr.T for 5 years now, and I can honestly say it’s been the best dental experience I’ve ever had. The entire staff is incredibly welcoming and professional, and they go above and beyond to make each visit comfortable. Dr.T has a calm and reassuring demeanor, always explaining each step of the process and ensuring that I feel informed and at ease. Whether it’s routine cleanings or more complex procedures, the level of care and attention to detail is outstanding. I highly recommend Dr.T to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate dentist!

I decided to switch dentists after an uncomfortable interaction with the staff at my last dentist’s office. I was fortunate enough to stumble upon Dr. Rishaad Taraporewalla’s office at College Avenue Dentistry via my insurance’s search engine. I was able to make my first appointment the same week I called for an appointment. Upon arriving to the office I was greeted by the kind office staff Adam who checked me into my appointment and later went over billing with me. The dental assistant Viviana was extremely kind and also made me feel comfortable. Dr. T was extremely kind in his initial assessment and explained every single thing he was doing and the reasons why. This type of care is so important to me because like many people I struggle with anxiety about going to the dentist and feeling judged, but this has not been my situation at all with my experiences at College Avenue Dentistry. I have had 2 cleanings now with Dr. T and he is amazing- extremely kind, patient, and caring. If you are going to be spending your hard earned money on dental work, it should be with an office like this one- I can’t recommend enough!

What is the Mouth-Body Connection® ?
The Mouth-Body Connection® refers to the link between oral health and overall health, and the role that the harmful bacteria and inflammation in our mouths play in chronic, systemic disease. That’s why it’s time we talked about more than your teeth. Our office prioritizes your overall health as it relates to your oral health. When we care for your smile we’re also looking out for your entire self.
