Dr. Casiglia has practiced for the last decade in Massachusetts. He enjoys the wide range of procedures that comprise general practice dentistry, and the ability to provide almost all treatments that a patient might need within one office.
Dr. Casiglia is deeply committed to education--both his own and that of others. Beginning in high school, he has always been involved in teaching others. He currently teaches several classes at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine throughout the academic year. He also provides continuing education lectures to dental and medical professionals in New England and across the country on subjects such as pharmacology, oral cancer, HIV disease, medical conditions, and facial pain.
Dr. Casiglia has also been involved in numerous clinical and laboratory research studies. He has published articles in national dental and medical journals (and reviewed those of others for publication), authored articles for online medical reference, written book chapters, and served as editor of books.
His dedication to education is also evident in his approach to patient care. First and foremost, he will make sure that you as a patient completely understand the rationale for the proposed treatment, the risks and benefits of treatment, and what specifically is involved in the procedure. He will also make you aware of any alternative treatment options you may have. Dr. Casiglia will then provide the treatment upon which you agree in a compassionate manner with the utmost attention to your comfort and the best possible results.
When not at the practice, Dr. Casiglia spends most of his time sharpening his instruments for the next patient (or honing his dry sense of humor). He enjoys music, exercise, building restoration, reading, and foreign languages.

Lori Caldarone, RDH
|
Lori has been practicing dental hygiene for more than 20 years in Massachusetts. She is in charge of our preventive and periodontal maintenance programs. She will perform your routine recall visits every three, four, or six months, and take necessary X-rays.
Lori is committed not only to keeping your mouth clean, but identifying and preventing future problems. She will make suggestions to improve your home care and may advise and perform scaling, root planing, or other therapy to ensure your teeth will have the proper support for a lifetime of use.
When she isn't banishing plaque and calculus, Lori is a dedicated mother and chauffeur. Her three active children keep her very busy with their many activities. She also enjoys spending time in the gym—though chasing after her kids would be exercise enough for most of us!

Lucy Poulin, Office Manager
|
Lucy has been with our office for about five years. Prior to this, she worked in several other dental and medical settings. As a result of her extensive experience, she is an expert in handling all of the financial aspects of dental care. Lucy is the practice's liason to insurance companies and our third-party financing partners. Lucy will make sure you are always comfortable with your finances before we commence treatment, as well as maximizing any insurance benefits you might have.
Lucy has raised two lovely daughters, but now she uses her parenting skills to make sure that Dr. Casiglia doesn't get too far out of line. She is active in her church and also speaks fluent Portuguese. Our patients love her sunny disposition and her dedication to making sure their interests are served.

Lenka French, Clinical and Office Assistant
|
|
Lenka is originally from the Czech Republic near Prague. Lenka trained extensively in hotel management and customer service in her home country, so she knows a thing or two about customer service. She originally came to the US as a nanny because she loves the English language and wanted to experience more American culture. When she found out that we use something called “novocaine” for dentistry, she was sold and decided to stick around! Lenka became interested in dental assisting and soon became part of our family. She assists Dr. Casiglia during procedures, and on days we do not see patients, she helps in the front office. So if you ever receive a phone call from a girl with a lovely accent from our office, you will know right away who it is! She would like to remind everyone that, despite the similarity in accent, she is not Russian!

Dr. William F. White (deceased)
|
Dr. White received his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Michigan in 1961. He founded and maintained this private practice on Essex Street in Salem, Massachusetts until 2006.
Though Dr. White was a talented dentist, his bedside manner is what earned him great renown. He was a true gentleman: he always had a firm handshake for the men and a suitable compliment for the ladies. Even the most fearful patients would leave with smiles on their faces once they experienced his gentle touch. With a memory like a steel trap, he could always recall your vacation, promotion, or grandchild’s birth, even if it had been years since your last visit. He was a man of wit and great compassion for his patients and everyone he met.
For many individuals, Dr. White was the only dentist they ever knew. He passed away in the fall of 2007. He is greatly missed and will always be a part of our office.
