graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine and member of the Tri-Beta Biological Honor Society. Inspired by his love of the sciences and fine arts, Dr. Aris knew early on that he wanted to pursue dentistry as a profession. Since finishing dental school, he has logged over 1,500 hours of continuing education. Dr. Aris’ extraordinary commitment to education allows him to perform sophisticated procedures including fullmouth reconstructions, root canals, implants and bone grafts. He is among the top one percent of general dentists in this country who have earned a Mastership from the Academy of General Dentistry. “Patients come first” at Advanced Dentistry of Wilton,
he says. “That’s what drives us to seek out world-class educators to bring back world-class dental knowledge for the benefit of our patients.” Dr. Aris is a PACE-approved provider of dental continuing education with the Academy of General Dentistry. Dr. Aris and his team offer compassionate care and are determined to make all patients feel comfortable from the minute they walk into the inviting reception area. This is especially important, he feels, for younger patients. “Attitudes and habits established at an early age are critical in maintaining good oral health for life,” stresses Dr. Aris. “Each member of our team is passionate about providing the highest quality of care.” In addition to his Mastership Award, Dr. Aris
was named Scholar of the Dawson Academy, where dentists come together to gain a better understanding of not only teeth, but also the muscles and systems that control them. Dr. Aris recently completed an intensive oneyear course on Advanced Full-Mouth Reconstruction at NYU Linhart Continuing Dental Education. He is a member of the Spear Study Club and recognized as a Leading Physician of the World and Top General & Cosmetic Dentist. Dr. Aris’ practice is stateof-the-art and includes Planscan CAD/CAM, which he praises for “accurate form and function” as well as same-day results for crowns and veneers. “I’m inspired on a daily basis by the patients I’m fortunate to serve,” he says.
Nestled away in the heart
this way; it was more of a natural progression. Dr. DeLallo, who graduated from Boston College in 1983 with a Bachelor of science degree, and received a D.M.D. degree from the University of Connecticut in 1987, says he could not imagine having it any other way. He believes that honesty and trust are the keys to building a successful dental practice. The numerous three and even four generations of families being treated by Dr. Sonny and his staff are a testament to this belief. All aspects of General Dentistry, including preventive, cosmetic, and over twenty years experience in implant dentistry, are performed with care and competence in this unique and friendly home office.
of West Norwalk, yet just one mile from U.S. Route 1 in Darien and two miles from downtown New Canaan, lives a unique couple with a rare home-office dental practice. Dr. Santo DeLallo (Sonny) and his wife, Kathy, a dental hygienist, have practiced together in what was the three-car garage at their home on West Norwalk Road for the last 25 years. The two natives of Norwalk, met in middle school and then went their own ways after graduating from Brien McMahon High School in 1979. Sonny and Kathy were reacquainted at their 10-year high school reunion, got engaged and then married, bought a home and set up shop in Norwalk one year later. They say they never really planned for it to happen
