About Dr. Neal B. Graber
A native of Stamford, Connecticut, Neal B. Graber, DMD graduated from the University of Alabama School of Dentistry after completing his studies at Emory University. Every year, Dr. Graber takes continuing education courses involving diagnostic, cosmetic and restorative dentistry. Recently, he participated in a course taught by Dr. David T. Wong of UCLA, a mentor who is at the forefront of salivary diagnostics. He was excited to learn about tools in development today, which may enable the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in addition to other conditions.
Dr. Graber contributes to research studies conducted by the prestigious PEARL Network (Practitioners Engaged in Applied Research and Learning), which is sponsored by the National Institutes of Health through New York University. Currently, Dr. Graber is working on their implant placement and restoration study.
In addition, he was among the first dentists to partner with StemSave to harvest and bank dental stem cells. Currently, scientists are exploring the use of dental stem cells to grow replacement teeth, treat illnesses and repair injuries.
As part of his effort to provide the highest standard of care, Dr. Graber has been testing dental materials for the president of Centrix Dental, a Shelton-based company, for several years in addition to collaborating with engineers to fine-tune dental products and technology in development.
Advanced Technology
For your safety and comfort, we use the Isolite system to provide light, suction and a comfortable bite during dental procedures. You can relax and watch television while we post digital X-rays and intra-oral photos on our overhead monitors. This technology enables us to point out any areas of concern so you can make educated decisions about your treatment options. Our rigorous safety standards include putting instruments through ultrasonic disinfection and steam sterilization before placing them in sterile wraps. To further prevent exposure to germs, we use distilled water and antibacterial tablets in our water lines. When necessary, we use Picasso Lite soft tissue lasers to minimize pain and decrease the risk of local infection. And, while we hope that no one needs an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED), we keep one on site in case of a cardiac emergency.
Office Policies
To facilitate clear communication, we ask that you review our HIPAA Policy, Adult Health History and/or Child Health History and Patient Consent, Insurance and Financial Policies prior to treatment.
Priority for early, lunch hour, late and Saturday appointments is given to patients of record who regularly arrive on time. Patients are kindly asked to give us the courtesy of 24 hours notice prior to canceling or rescheduling an appointment. After two missed appointments without proper notice, patients will be asked to find another dentist. These policies enable us to stay on schedule (barring emergencies) so that we can give you the time and attention that you deserve.
We are currently transitioning our system to provide text and email appointment reminders. Please be sure to update your patient record with your current information and communication preferences. For your convenience, all of our patient forms are available below for your review. You are welcome to print and complete them in advance or obtain a copy when you arrive in our office.
