Dr. Emily Ding

I consider myself incredibly fortunate to interact with so many wonderful people through the practice of Orthodontics. Through every relationship I form with my patients, my colleagues, and my community, I am motivated to build on my own personal and professional passions. I am honored to be a part of each patient’s journey as we achieve their best smile.

I earned my BA in Biochemistry and MS in Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. I continued to complete my DMD and residency training in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. I am a proud member of the American Association of Orthodontics as well as the American Dental Association.

I met my amazing husband Greg in Philadelphia, PA where we lived for 10 years, but we were excited to move back to CT in 2018 to be closer to family. In 2023, we were overjoyed to welcome our daughter Adeline into our family. On the weekends, we always try to enjoy some of our favorite outdoor activities: camping, hiking, fishing, and nature photography!

As I enter my 44th year of practicing Orthodontics, I have made the decision to turn over the reins of my practice and transition to the next chapter of my life. I feel truly privileged to have treated so many wonderful patients throughout my career! I want to take a moment to thank you for your confidence, trust, and patience. The relationships that I have formed with all my patients will continue to enrich my life and greatly contribute to my happiness. I look forward to seeing everybody around the office as we all transition during this new and exciting time.

MEET THE TEAM

RANA

Office Manager

I have been lucky enough to find a career where I love coming to work every day. I have the privilege of getting new patients started on their orthodontic journey. Accuracy and customer care are important to me because I want to ensure our patients have the absolute best experience! The best part of my job is bonding with our patients on a personal level and seeing their smiles transform into something they are happy to show off. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends – hiking in the Adirondacks or just home cooking and playing games.

CLINICAL ASSISTANT

I believe the best part about being an orthodontic assistant is seeing how happy our patients are throughout their treatment and seeing the progression from start to finish. It’s so fulfilling to take part in helping make our patient’s smiles their best accessory. I am grateful that I can work with such a great team who is so passionate and excited about what we do each day. Outside of work, I enjoy cuddling up with a good book, shopping and most of all, spending time with my 3 boys and my dog, Kaia.

I am very excited to be the newest member of the team! The most rewarding part of my job is making patients feel relaxed and helping them get the beautiful smile that they deserve! There is no better feeling than walking out of the office with a new and improved sense of confidence. In my free time, I love hanging out with friends and family, crocheting and traveling the world.
