Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry of Connecticut was founded by Dr. Aaron M. Gross, our lead dentist, in 2001. Dr. Nicole B. Becker and Dr. Dominic Gambino later joined him in practice to provide the high-quality dental care that's kept Hamden, CT, and the entire New Haven area smiling wide for over two decades.
Each of our three dentists received specialized training in their respective fields of dentistry. They pursue continuing professional education so they can maintain the highest standard of care and handle even the most complex dental care needs.
Our practice in Hamden and East Haven has a reputation for excellence. In addition to our use of cutting-edge technology, we're also known for how we care for our patients. We've been honored to receive the Talk Award for customer service 13 years in a row, earning perfect patient satisfaction scores each year since 2010.

Our Featured Treatments
Dental Crowns
Crowns are an incredibly versatile treatment option. Our dentists can use them to restore teeth that have been damaged, protect teeth after treatment for decay, and improve the appearance of teeth that are stained or misshapen. Your dentist will remove a small amount of tissue from your natural tooth to provide a snug fit for the crown. Our crowns are made of durable materials and can last for more than a decade with good dental care.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the best solution available for missing teeth. Implants fuse the jawbone over the course of three to six months, ultimately creating the most stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. They provide important stimulation to the jawbone, keeping it healthy and preventing bone atrophy, shifting teeth, and changes to your facial appearance. With dental implants, you can eat, speak, and smile with ease once again.
Root Canals
Root canal infections can be incredibly painful and extremely harmful to your oral and overall health if left untreated. If you notice symptoms like a toothache, a discolored tooth, sensitivity to hot or cold, or tender gums, contact our dentists for prompt care. We can provide virtually painless treatment that eliminates the infection, relieves your discomfort, and saves your tooth from extraction.
Cosmetic Dentistry
We believe everyone deserves a smile they feel confident in, so we offer a range of effective cosmetic dentistry treatments to meet all manner of aesthetic needs. Whether you have chipped teeth, gapped teeth, stained teeth, or another cosmetic issue, we're here to help with services like teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, and more.
Our State-of-the-Art Tools Set Us Apart From the Rest
We pride ourselves on being the most high-tech dental practice in New Haven County. Take a look at some of the special technology that takes our care to the next level:
Digital intraoral scanners are slim devices that help our dentists capture detailed images of your teeth, gums, and oral structures in just seconds, all without the need for messy dental putty. The hyper-accurate scans they take can be used to create treatment plans that are uniquely tailored for each patient.
The CEREC® system allows us to design and fabricate fully customized dental crowns in just one appointment. CEREC takes a block of dental porcelain and shapes it into a crown that has the ideal shape and shade for your smile. If you need a new crown, you can cut weeks off your treatment time by working with us.
We practice laser dentistry using BIOLASE® Waterlase technology. This gentle laser makes procedures like tooth decay treatment and gum disease therapy virtually pain-free by precisely targeting problem spots and using a cooling stream of water to soothe treatment areas. Waterlase reduces bleeding and swelling, as well as pain after the procedure. With Waterlase, we can perform dental work that's safer, more effective, and more comfortable.
You don't have to worry about painful anesthetic injections when you visit our dentists. We use the Wand®, a modern system for anesthetic delivery. This tool uses a tiny needle to administer medication, allowing us to comfortably work on single teeth at a time rather than numbing large portions of your mouth. When using the Wand, your dentist can control the flow of medication for a painless dental experience.
