Meet the Dentist

Steven W. Farley, DDS, FAGD

We are a very progressive, value-driven office, and we make every effort to exceed the standard of care with all of the services we deliver to our patients. My team consists of exceptional leaders who want to make a difference in people's lives. They are experienced, highly competent, and love what they do. The relationships we form with our patients are based on fairness, trust, and integrity. My goal is to add value to my patients' lives and increase their self-esteem by the creation of beautiful, predictable, long lasting restorations. I always take into consideration my patient's needs and opinions. My practice philosophy can be summed up in one word- excellence.

Education

I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry, graduating cum laude from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1973. I graduated with high honors from the Columbia University School of Dental Medicine in 1977, and then went on to a hospital-based General Practice Residency program at Hartford Hospital, where I received advanced training in all of the dental specialties.

Continuing Education

I have made a serious commitment to be a lifelong student of my profession. I am an active alumni member of the L.D.Pankey Institute, one of the most advanced post-doctoral education centers in the world. In 2004, I received a Fellowship award from the Academy of General Dentistry. This career milestone requires continuous membership in the Academy of General Dentistry, which includes a strict continuing education component, completion of over 500 hours of coursework, and the passing of a comprehensive written examination.
