Our Mission Statement Committed to Excellence in Dentistry
Are you looking for a family dentist or cosmetic dentist in the Milford, Connecticut area? Dr. Yolani Edirisinghe has the practical experience and knowledge needed to help you!
Aside from providing you with invaluable counsel regarding your dental health, she can also educate you on a range of cosmetic treatment options that can improve your smile. Depending on your goals, your options may include teeth whitening treatment, porcelain crowns, porcelain veneers, and dental bridges or tooth-colored fillings to revitalize your appearance and restore your smile’s natural luster.
Along with Dr. Edirisinghe’s leadership, we are advocates for preventive dentistry and family dentistry because we believe that maintaining one’s oral health is the most effective way to ensure strong dental health. This means adhering to an oral hygiene routine and visiting the dentist regularly. However, professional intervention may be necessary to help our patients and their families maintain more complex issues while still ensuring their beautiful smiles.
Know Our Story
Our Milford, Connecticut dental practice was founded by Dr. Williams in 1945, upon his discharge from U.S. Service in World War II. Originally located in Milford Center, the practice grew so rapidly that Dr. Williams planned and built a large dental office in 1960 across from the Milford Town Hall. In 1988, upon his retirement, Dr. Chet Sokolowski took over the practice from Dr. Williams, and in 1990 moved the practice to its current location at Harmony Place.
Dr. Sokolowski continued the care of the practice and eventually left to pursue a career in anesthesiology. In 2009, after completing 6 years in private practice as an associate dentist, Dr. Edirisinghe joined the practice. In the years since the practice was founded, it has continuously grown, with doctors and staff—both present and past—taking a great deal of pride in the care we are able to provide our patients.
