Center for Esthetic Dentistry

Center for Esthetic Dentistry is a cosmetic and general dentist on Orange Street in New Haven, Connecticut, led by Dr. N. Summer Lerch, DDS. The practice, which also goes by The Art of Smiles, brings an artist's eye to dentistry: the goal is a smile that fits the person, not a one-size-fits-all result.

The practice specializes in digital smile design, using state-of-the-art technology to plan and preview cosmetic work before it begins. Services include porcelain veneers, Invisalign clear aligners, professional teeth whitening with LED light systems, dental implants and full smile makeovers. General and restorative dentistry are offered too, so patients can have their everyday oral health and their cosmetic goals handled in one place. The office also takes a holistic view of dental care, considering how oral health connects to overall wellbeing.

Dr. Lerch combines decades of experience with an artistic sensibility, and she takes time to listen to what each patient dislikes about their smile before designing a plan. Patient stories on the practice's site describe the confidence that comes from a smile they are finally happy to show.
