Doctor's Bio

Dr. Thomas S. Giugliano represents the newest breed of New York City trained prosthodontists whose practice reflects the very latest in clinical technologies along with a strong artistic and cosmetic emphasis. A graduate of the prestigious dental program at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, he is distinguished for having completed his clinical requirements in less than the usual four years. From his early years, Dr. Giugliano’s scholastic history shows trends in academia seldom seen with such consistency, including a full academic scholarship at the famous Regis High School in Manhattan. There, he was among the top seven graduates in this highly competitive environment. In college, he excelled equally as a Biology major at New York University, graduating with “cum laude” honors as a result of near perfect scholastic scores.

Upon completion of the Doctor of Dental Surgery degree, Dr. Giugliano was asked to accept an appointment as Clinical Instructor with the Department of Prosthodontics and Occlusion. As an instructor to other dentists still in training, at age 27, he was one of the youngest appointees ever to this post at NYU College of Dentistry. In 1989, Dr. Giugliano completed the very rigorous specialty training program in Prosthodontics at NYU College of Dentistry.

Dr. Giugliano has thus become known not only for his distinguished clinical history but also for his warm and personable approach to the “patient as person first”, often overlooked by practicing dentists. His easy smile and emphasis on careful listening allows the apprehensive dental patient to quickly forget they are in the presence of impeccable scholarship. Patients are often surprised that his humanistic concerns for patient comfort are joined with the necessary talent to perform all aspects of restorative dentistry with equal refinement. He is equally adept at replacing cracked and loosened fillings through advanced bonding methods as with the latest prosthodontic and reconstructive techniques for full mouth restorations. Recently completing over 300 hours of continuing education, he has become one of the few pioneering dentists in New York trained to both surgically place implants AND complete the restoration on implants.

Dr. Giugliano holds active memberships in many prestigious dental organizations, including the American Dental Association, the New York State Dental Society, the New York County Dental Association and the American College of Prosthodontists. He is currently an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Prosthodontics at the NYU College of Dentistry and is a published author whose work has appeared in the Journal of the Connecticut State Dental Association.

In free time from his demanding schedule, Dr. Giugliano relaxes through reading and playing classical piano.

With over 20 years experience in private practice, Dr. Giugliano has perfected the special emotional commitments needed to place the anxious dental patient at ease.
