We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.
To me, being a dentist is more than just filling cavities. It's about improving the smiles and lives of my patients. For over 28 years, I've dedicated myself to going above and beyond to ensure my patients' health and satisfaction. Above all, I treat each patient like a member of my family. I began my education at Eastern Connecticut State University for my undergraduate degree, followed by Tufts University School of Dental Medicine for my Doctorate of Dental Medicine.Since graduating, I have actively pursued continuing education in cosmetic dentistry and computer-generated crowns, as well as many new techniques that dentistry has to offer.
Being able to meet and connect with so many different people is very fulfilling. Over the past 17 years, I've made many friendships with my patients. Knowing that I can help them reach their ideal smile and learn about the importance of oral healthcare is very important to me. I attended Fairfield University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, followed by dental school at the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine.I completed my Advanced Education in General Dentistry at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
Our practice is committed to providing you and your family with safe, gentle, high-quality dental care. We understand that you, or your child, may feel anxious about visiting the dentist. We are sensitive to your needs, and it is our goal to make you feel comfortable visiting our practice while providing the best care possible.

Superior quality, service and professionalism! I highly recommend Dr. Maria Hacker. She is incredibly smart, thorough in her assessment and treatments and able to make a visit to the dentist comfortable. Her bedside demeanor is calm and poised. Additionally, Kathy, is a phenomenal dental hygienist. She thoroughly explains the best ways to clean and care for your teeth.
If you want a dental office that is professional, clean, innovative and that provides personalized care, this is the place for you! I give both Branford Dental Care and Hammonasset Dental Care 5+ stars.

I'm an elderly patient that I had the opportunity to have Dr Ryan Finnegan work on my crown. He was very professional, yet personal while making me feel comfortable during my crown procedure. Cant say enough good about him. He truly cared about my well being along with doing everything he could to help me with my situation. Anyone looking for a good dentist these days that aren't puppy mills then you will find a home here. James

This place is so clean- they have the best covid-19 cleaning plan I have seen- the waiting room is very distanced from one chair to the other, and once you get up, they immediately clean your chair. As a new patient, I was very impressed. I got a night-guard and I was expecting weeks for it to be made, but they made it in house and it was ready for me to pick up within 24 hours.

So I typically love this dentist but I've been trying to reach them for the last few weeks to see if I can get in to have a cracked filling fixed. I called left a voicemail they called me back left me a voicemail and I've been trying to call back ever since. I know with all the craziness going on its difficult but this tooth is very sharp and I need it fixed. I'll try to call again after the holiday and hopefully I can get in before I have to go the next route and find another dentist.

Conveniently located near the Branford green, with free parking on street and in the back. The office is clean and pleasant, and the front-desk staff friendly and efficient. The dental hygienist was professional and thorough, and they take my insurance - which is a huge plus. The dentists are kind and competent. The entire staff is also great with my 8-year old daughter. Win, win, win.

Dr. Hacker and my dental hygienist Kathy were terrific. The office has a great relaxing feel and the staff does a great job walking you through each phase of your visit, from arrival, procedure, insurance/billing to making sure you've scheduled your next appointment. Their process definitely takes the intimidation out of going to the dentist, highly recommend!

Absolutely love this place! The atmosphere and staff makes you feel at home. Their office is very modern. There rooms equipped with tv screens and small camera tools, so you can see exactly what is going on in your mouth. The staff is so warm and welcoming. They take great care of their patients. I must say I have the best dental hygienist ever (Kathy) love ya!
