Meet Our Dentist - Waterford, CT

Meet Dr. Justin Swank, D.D.S.

Dr. Justin Swank’s journey into dentistry is deeply rooted in family tradition. Inspired by the strong relationships and trust his father and uncle built with their patients, he knew early on that dentistry was his calling. It was more than a career choice; it was a way for Dr. Swank to give back to his community and make a difference in the lives of others.

Dr. Swank earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) from the University of Maryland Dental School, followed by completing an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) at the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine. After his residency, Dr. Swank joined a practice in New Hampshire where he provided comprehensive care, including restorative dentistry, extractions, dentures, and root canals for several years before moving back to Connecticut.

Dr. Swank is a proud member of the American Dental Association (ADA). He is passionate about helping patients overcome dental challenges, especially when the result is a confident, healthy smile. His gentle approach and dedication to patient care help create an environment where patients feel comfortable and supported throughout their dental journey.

When he’s not in the office, Dr. Swank enjoys spending time with his wife of eight years, their three children (with a fourth on the way), and their Old English Sheepdog, Maggie. He’s a motorsport enthusiast, whether it’s cars, motorcycles, or jet skis. At home, you’ll often find him outdoors, tackling a new project, riding four-wheelers, or playing with his kids.

For Dr. Swank, dentistry isn’t just a profession—it’s a way to serve his community, one smile at a time.
