A Message From Dr. Lupini

More than 30 years ago, I joined Central CT Dental Group and had the opportunity to grow alongside a practice that has served the Plainville community for generations. Over that time, I have seen how rewarding dentistry can be when clinical skill, patient relationships, strong mentorship, and a commitment to doing things the right way all come together.

For me, dentistry has always been about more than treating teeth. It is about how patients feel when they walk through the door, how clearly we communicate, how much trust we build, and whether they leave feeling genuinely cared for. A great dental visit is not only defined by the quality of the clinical outcome, although that always matters. It is also defined by the patient's confidence in the process, their comfort with the team, and their belief that we are recommending care for the right reasons.

That patient-first mindset has helped shape Central CT Dental Group into the practice it is today: a long-standing, multi-doctor practice with a loyal patient base, a talented team, modern technology, and a reputation for providing comprehensive care in a welcoming environment. Our patients come to us because they trust us, and that trust is something we work to earn every day.

Now, I am looking for a dentist who wants more than a standard associate position. This is a long-term opportunity for someone who is clinically motivated, eager to learn, and interested in growing into a future leadership role. My goal is to help the right dentist continue developing clinically, build lasting patient relationships, strengthen treatment planning and communication skills, and better understand how a successful practice is built and sustained.

For the right candidate, there is potential for a future path toward partnership or ownership.

If you are thoughtful, driven, coachable, and committed to treating patients with honesty, integrity, and personal attention, I would welcome the chance to meet you.
