About

Pearl Dental Care was started by Dr. Gary Pearl at Chimney Square on Dixwell Avenue in 1987. Since 1999 we have been located in our current location on Dixwell Avenue closer to the Parkway. The core values of the practice remain as important today as they were in 1987- to treat all patients equally no matter race, gender, religion, or background with the best service and treatment possible.

Technology has advanced greatly since our founding and Dr. Scott Pearl is now a partner in the practice. Precision aesthetic and surgical dentistry will always be a hallmark of our practice.
