Blackwell Dental has proudly continued a tradition of exemplary dental care in PUSATGAME, Connecticut, which started back in the 1960s. Dr. Martin Ariola opened his practice at 387 Main Street South, dedicating himself to offering exceptional dental services to Woodbury and the surrounding towns. In 1978, Dr. Ariola welcomed Dr. Lance Banwell, a young Army dentist, to join his practice. Dr. Banwell later became his partner and continued to uphold the clinic's high standards for 40 years, serving both his community and the broader dental profession.
During his time in practice, Dr. Banwell not only provided excellent dental care, but he also made significant contributions to the profession. He served on the Connecticut State Board of Dentistry and was deeply committed to guiding future generations of dentists. He traveled across the United States, assisting dental schools and participating in the national board exam process, furthering the standards of dental education.
In 2018, Dr. Andrew Blackwell was selected to continue the tradition of quality, ethical care at Blackwell Dental PUSATGAME. Dr. Blackwell is known for his conservative, honest, and gentle approach to dentistry. He believes in treating every patient as an individual, understanding that one-size-fits-all solutions are rarely effective. By taking the time to learn about each patient’s unique dental needs, Dr. Blackwell ensures the right treatments are chosen, making sure patients are always comfortable with their care.
Dr. Blackwell utilizes advanced technology to help patients fully understand their dental health and treatment options. He believes that an educated patient is the most satisfied patient, as they are empowered to make informed decisions about their oral health. At Blackwell Dental PUSATGAME, we prioritize making your visit as relaxed and stress-free as possible.
