Meet the Doctors

The most important people in our practice are our patients. We enjoy each day because we have the privilege to help people look and feel their best. It is the deep relationship that we develop with each patient that allows us to personalize their treatment and deliver the highest quality dental treatment to each individual. Helping nice people is what we enjoy doing each day.

We truly listen to each person’s needs and questions. We never rush. After making a complete and thorough study of your dental health we take the time to explain your problems, answer your questions and set goals with you to help you to keep your teeth for a lifetime in maximum comfort, function and looking your best. We live by the quote from Michelangelo, “Trifles make perfection and perfection is no trifle.”

We value and work hard to earn and keep your trust so that we can continue to give you the highest level of personalized service and care. This includes respecting your time and being on time for our appointments together.

Donald W. Miller, DMD

Welcome to our practice! I am devoted to enhancing smiles and providing my patients with the highest quality of preventative and restorative dental care. The partnership I establish with each patient is the key to dental wellness while also providing the opportunity for me to connect on a personal basis with members of my beloved community!
I know how important a fabulous smile is to everyone, as it boosts your confidence and enhances your interaction with others. A truly gorgeous natural smile, one that lights up a room, says something positive about that person!

For my dental education, I acquired the following certificates:

• Boston College, Bachelor of Arts and Science
• University of Connecticut Dental School, DMD
• University of North Carolina: Advanced General, Surgical and Cosmetic Residency

I know that a great education doesn't stop in the classroom. In order to provide my patients with the best and most up-to-date services available, I actively pursue my continuing education.

I take courses as a member of the following organizations:

• Connecticut Dental Association
• American Dental Association
• Academy of Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry
• Academy of General Dentistry

Outside of the office, you will find me enjoying special time with my wife and children, Sophia, Devon, and Michael. I also love golf, skiing, and sailing on the Sound.

We invite you to browse through our web site and get to know us better. We continuously improve and expand our services to better serve our patients. We realize that when it comes to your smile, you have many choices. We want to help you make the decision that means comfort and great services for your family!

Stephen H. Guss, DDS

I believe in treating each person that I see with respect and empathy. I strive for excellence both in the dental care that is given to each patient, and just as important, in the quality of our relationship. The trust placed in me by our patients is truly valued by me. It's an honor and privilege to serve them. I enjoy each day that I practice because of the wonderful patients that I treat and the exceptional, skilled staff that I work with.

I have received the following education:

• New York University - Bachelor of Arts
• New York University - DDS
• Postgraduate Education - L.D. Pankey Institute

After acquiring my DDS, I became the co-chief of Prosthetics in Park City Hospital. I have lectured to over 5,000 dentists on cosmetic and reconstructive dental techniques that were pioneered in our office.

Although my required education is complete, I know that I can only serve my patients the best dental care possible by staying on top of new technology and methods. I continuously take courses and attend seminars as a Fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry, as well as a member of the Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the Fairfield County Study Group, the American Academy of Osseointegration, and the International Congress of Oral Implantology.

When not practicing dentistry, I enjoy spending quality time with my wife and family. I also enjoy skiing, kayaking and flower gardening. I regularly volunteer my dental skills to victims of domestic violence and to The National Foundation of Dentistry for the Handicapped.

I believe that each day presents us with an opportunity to make life better for others while becoming closer to our best self. I hope you'll come in and experience the difference a caring and accepting atmosphere can make.

Richard M. Goldman, DDS

I believe in treating my clients like my friends and family in delivering the highest quality dentistry available in a home-like practice environment. I truly enjoy the relationships I have developed with my patients while creating smiles that are beautiful and functional.

We know that there are a variety of ways to maintain positive oral care and a fresh image, which guides our commitment in helping patients meet their needs. We hold ourselves to the highest standards, striving to make your visit with us comfortable, pleasant and memorable.

In order to become a dentist, I began my education at the New York University College of Dentistry. I then became a dental resident at Beth Israel Medical Center. Afterward, I opened a private practice in Fairfield, Connecticut.

One aspect of dentistry that I truly love is that it changes almost daily. There are always new technologies and methods that provide a more efficient and comfortable experience for patients. That is why I consider my continuing education an incredibly important part of my job. I am a fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry, and a member of numerous local and national dental clubs and organizations. I regularly attend courses and seminars on the latest dental advancements that apply to my patients.

In my free time I enjoy winter sports, especially skiing! I also love spending time with my wife, our sons and their families, including my two wonderful grandchildren, Henry and Sadie, who make me smile every time I think of them.

Our entire staff shares my philosophy and commitment to provide you with excellence in cosmetic dentistry with the highest level of service. We build long-lasting relationships with our patients, one smile at a time! We take great pride in helping you achieve the look and smile you've dreamed of.
