About Comprehensive Dental Associates of Central Connecticut
Long-time patients credit Dr. Moscow with decades of steady, gentle care, even as billing disputes and staff turnover followed the practice's sale to a new ownership group.
This is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, traditional and clear braces, clear aligners, and TMJ treatment. Reviews describe a clean, well-organized office with modern equipment, and many patients mention gentle handling during cleanings and numbing for deeper work, including one account of a child with autism being put at ease during an emergency visit. A number of reviewers note that longtime doctors left after the practice was sold, and some describe newer front-desk staff as less accommodating and pricing as higher than before, though Dr. Moscow is repeatedly named as a trusted, longstanding provider.

I had an amazing experience. Staff was extremely professional and friendly. My hygienist was quite thorough in explaining what was happening throughout the process. I’m overall satisfied with my results, and would recommend them to anyone. 🫶🏼

We had a dental emergency with my son, and while other pediatric dentists either turned us away or offered appointments months away, this office got us in quickly and took excellent care of him. The dentist was kind, patient, and made my son, who has autism and other conditions, feel completely comfortable throughout the visit. What could have been a stressful experience turned into a positive one. My son left happy and is actually excited to come back. We are so grateful for their professionalism, compassion, and outstanding care. Highly recommend!
