We look forward to helping you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile, and we want to provide you with a rewarding orthodontic experience that leaves you smiling for years to come. We love working with all of our patients and watching as their smiles transform with each treatment they receive. It is our goal to give you and your family the attention, the treatments, and the final results you expect and deserve. We are passionate about our work as orthodontists, and it shows with each smile we create! Meet Dr. Conroy As your orthodontist, I believe in always pursuing excellence with each smile I help create. I consider my patients as family, and I strive to meet their needs and exceed all their expectations when it comes to orthodontic treatment. I feel very lucky to work with so many great people; everybody from dentists and dental specialists, to my incredible office staff, and of course my wonderful patients who remind me every day why I chose to become an orthodontist! Education Before becoming an orthodontist, I attended University of Notre Dame where I completed my pre-dental education in 1983. In 1987, I graduated from the University of Connecticut School Of Dental Medicine with my Doctor of Medical Dentistry (DMD) degree. I then accomplished a General Practice Residency in the US Air Force dental corps at Wright-Patterson Air force Base in Dayton, Ohio. On active duty for ten years in the Air Force, I had the opportunities to serve at Zaragoza Air Base, Spain, Charleston Air Force Base, SC and RAF Lakenheath, England. I completed my orthodontic education while still in the Air Force at the University of Iowa College of Dentistry where I earned my Masters Degree in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics. Continuing Education and Industry Involvement I believe in continuing education as a way for me to stay current on the latest products and treatment techniques in orthodontics. I participate in continuing education through the Connecticut State Dental Association (CSDA), including attending a leadership forum in 2005. I have also been recognized as a "Top Dentist" for several years in both "Connecticut Magazine" and "Hartford Magazine." I am particularly proud to be Board Certified, a Diplomat of the American Board of Orthodontists. In addition, I am an active member in several orthodontic and dental associations, including: Awarded a Fellowship in the Pierre Fauchard Academy (2006) for outstanding contributions within my community. Fellow, World Federation of Orthodontists Bottom Line International Orthodontics Study Group - member and lecturer American Association of Orthodontics New England Society of Orthodontics Connecticut State Society of Orthodontists Connecticut State Dental Association Connecticut Study Club for Excellence in Dentistry Hartford Dental Society Middlesex County Dental Society - Past President, Chairman of Scholarship Committee CT Mission of Mercy Still Smiling in his Spare Time When I'm not at the practice helping my patients take care of their smiles, I enjoy spending time with my amazing wife, Jennifer, and our two daughters, Bernadette and Victoria. I love snow skiing, saltwater fishing, hiking, and watching college football, cheering for Notre Dame and UConn. I am an avid Boston Red Sox fan. My community continuously supports me, and I am always looking for ways to give back to my community. I am involved in the Exchange Club of Middletown, on the Advisory Board for the Tunxis Community College Dental Assisting Program, and I sponsor youth baseball, t-ball, and basketball teams in many local communities, as well as participating in various other local organizations and activities. I feel privileged to be an active supporter of local schools, sports teams, bands, theater performances, safe graduation events and other organizations.
