Our Mission 

Smiles That Exceed Expectations

Simply put, our mission at Waban Dental Group is to serve our Newton neighbors with the very best care, no matter their age or background. From a child’s very first visit to complex restorative treatment for adults, we go beyond simply “fixing teeth.” Our team focuses on education, prevention, and personalized solutions that help each patient enjoy a beautiful smile. We believe a healthy mouth and a positive outlook on oral care can set the foundation for a better quality of life.

Advanced Experience & Expertise

To our team, education is everything—and it never stops. Each of our doctors has earned a doctorate from a respected dental school and brings years of hands-on experience to the chair.

They regularly attend advanced courses and study clubs to refine their skills in areas like prosthodontics, periodontics, orthodontics, restorative dentistry, and more. Many are active members of prestigious organizations, including the American Dental Association, the Massachusetts Dental Society, the Northeastern Society of Orthodontists, and others.

We believe that great dentistry is a product of practiced techniques and advanced technology. This commitment to science and continual improvement is what sets us apart and allows us to consistently deliver excellent results.

Multiple Doctors & Specialties

At our Newton practice, we’re proud to have some of the best and brightest experts on our adult dentistry team, representing multiple fields. Here, you’ll find prosthodontists Dr. Leong‑Yokota and Dr. Vazouras, periodontist Dr. Govostes, and general dentists Dr. Manoukian and Dr. Di Paolo—specialists covering nearly every aspect of dentistry.

Dr. Ana and Dr. Resnick take a collaborative approach to treatment, utilizing each other’s specialized training to create lasting smiles for their patients. They emphasize prevention of dental disease and focus on the early diagnosis of dental abnormalities while building meaningful relationships. It’s their passion to meet the unique needs of each individual child as they grow.

High-End Comfort

When you open the door to our Newton practice, it feels more like stepping into a neighborhood hangout than a traditional clinic. Our office is designed with warm, neutral colors, comfortable seating, and thoughtful touches that help ease anxiety from the moment you arrive.

You’ll be greeted by friendly team members who know you by name and are genuinely interested in your comfort. You’ll never feel rushed, and we’re happy to provide amenities that make your visit easier. We’ve carefully shaped every detail around a calm, relaxing impression that we hope is apparent from the start.

Committed to Community

Our dedicated team at Waban Dental Group strives to create an outstanding dental experience for our community of patients. We’ve been caring for Newton families for over 40 years, and in that time we’ve watched children grow up, celebrated milestones, and shared many smiles together.

That commitment has been recognized beyond our doors—we’ve been voted the Best of Boston by Boston Magazine (2017–2019), the Number One Dental Group in Newton by the Wicked Local Readers’ Choice Award™ (2014–2019), and a family favorite by The Boston Parents Paper. We’re honored by this trust and work hard every day to earn it.
