Nashoba Valley Dental was founded on the idea that everyone should have a smile they love. Our services include anything from patching a tooth to a complete smile makeover – and everything in between. In taking over this dental practice that has served as a staple in the community for years, Dr. Matthew Annese stayed in line with the previous practice owner’s philosophy of patient education and involvement. Add that to a vast selection of services and use of the latest innovations in dental technology, and we help patients get the smile they always wanted in the way that works best for them.
Our dental professionals are driven by a commitment to deliver the highest-quality dental work in a setting that is familiar and relaxed. We never push patients to get treatment they aren’t comfortable with, and if the ideal solution doesn’t work with their budget, we find an alternative that produces results that are just as desirable. Dr. Annese and our staff have created a culture that is energetic, yet laid back, and proactive, yet resourceful.

Doctors fly in and also spend days at the office to see the newest technology and to learn. Dr. Annese truly has a passion for providing the best dental care to his patients and elevating the dental profession as a whole.

Whether coming in for a basic cleaning or to discuss particular dental work, we will first take the time to find out about your history and your goals, and then work closely with you to find the best course of treatment. Our dental professionals will do an oral exam and take x-rays, if necessary, to determine the options that are available for you. We will always suggest the ideal treatment plan, but will only move forward once you understand what that entails and are comfortable with it. By keeping up with the latest technological advancements in dentistry, we can offer a wide range of solutions to fit every budget. Please plan on being at our office for an hour to an hour and a half for your first appointment.
