Dr. Naomi Goldman, DDS, owner of Levy Goldman Dentistry in Peabody, Massachusetts, has been named a 2026 Castle Connolly Top Dentist, an honor awarded to only 10% of the nation's licensed dentists each year. The recognition underscores her practice's focus on conservative, patient-centered dentistry and its integration of advanced technology.
Located just 15 miles north of Downtown Boston, Levy Goldman Dentistry has built a reputation for combining cosmetic and restorative dentistry with a prevention-first approach. Dr. Goldman, who has also been named a Boston Magazine Top Dentist in 2025 and 2026 and is an Invisalign Platinum Provider, emphasizes preserving natural tooth structure whenever possible. "Every smile is different, and cosmetic dentistry should never be a one-size-fits-all approach," she said. "Sometimes a patient thinks they need veneers, when whitening, Invisalign, bonding, or another more conservative option may help them achieve their goals."
Central to her philosophy is minimally invasive treatment. Dr. Goldman has completed advanced training in no-prep veneer techniques, including the Marshall Hanson Method, which focuses on facially driven smile design and conservative cosmetic dentistry. In appropriate cases, no-prep veneers can achieve a dramatic transformation with little or no removal of natural tooth structure. The practice also offers composite bonding, Invisalign, and whitening, ensuring each patient receives a personalized plan.
Technology plays a key role at Levy Goldman Dentistry. The practice offers Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) Airflow Cleanings, a gentle alternative to traditional cleaning that uses warm water, air, and fine powder to remove biofilm and stains. Dr. Goldman also uses iTero digital oral health scans annually to monitor changes in patients' teeth, allowing for early intervention. For eligible early-stage cavities, the practice provides Curodont, a non-invasive treatment that supports remineralization and may avoid drilling or fillings. "The earlier we find a problem, the more options we may have," Dr. Goldman explained.
The practice is equipped for same-day restorative dentistry, using in-office milling technology to create custom crowns in a single visit. Laser gum lifts are also available to reshape gumlines without downtime. Other services include comprehensive exams, professional whitening, and cosmetic smile transformations.
Beyond clinical care, Levy Goldman Dentistry aims to make dental visits comfortable. A comfort menu helps patients relax, and membership plans for those without insurance make preventive care more accessible. "We want patients to feel comfortable coming to the dentist—not wait until they have an emergency," Dr. Goldman said.
Castle Connolly Top Dentists are selected through a peer-nomination process and rigorous research by the Castle Connolly team, based on criteria such as education, training, and disciplinary history. Dentists cannot pay to be selected. The full list is published at castleconnolly.com.
This recognition is significant for patients in the Boston area seeking a dentist who prioritizes conservative, technology-driven care. It also reflects a broader trend in dentistry toward minimally invasive procedures and early detection, which can lead to better outcomes and less discomfort for patients.
