Dr. Naomi Goldman, DDS, owner of Levy Goldman Dentistry in Peabody, Massachusetts, has been named a 2026 Castle Connolly Top Dentist. This honor is awarded to only 10% of the nation's licensed dentists each year, based on peer nominations and a rigorous selection process by the Castle Connolly research team. Dr. Goldman's practice, located just 15 miles north of Downtown Boston, is known for its modern technology, preventive care, and personalized smile transformations.
Dr. Goldman's philosophy centers on preserving natural tooth structure. She emphasizes that cosmetic dentistry should not be a one-size-fits-all approach. "Sometimes a patient thinks they need veneers, when whitening, Invisalign, bonding, or another more conservative option may help them achieve their goals," she says. This approach has earned her recognition as a Boston Magazine Top Dentist in 2025 and 2026, as well as an Invisalign Platinum Provider.
A key aspect of her practice is the focus on minimally invasive treatments. Dr. Goldman has completed advanced training in no-prep veneer techniques, including the Marshall Hanson Method, which incorporates facially driven smile design and conservative cosmetic dentistry. No-prep veneers can allow for cosmetic transformations with little to no removal of natural tooth structure, when appropriate. "The goal isn't to give every patient the same smile," she explains, "but to create something that looks natural, fits their face, and feels like them—while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible."
Levy Goldman Dentistry also integrates advanced technology to enhance patient care. The practice offers Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) Airflow Cleanings, a modern alternative to traditional cleaning that uses warm water, air, and fine powder to gently remove biofilm and stains. Additionally, Dr. Goldman uses iTero digital oral health scans annually to monitor changes in patients' teeth, allowing early intervention. For eligible early-stage cavities, the practice offers Curodont, a non-invasive treatment that supports remineralization without drilling or fillings.
The practice also provides same-day restorative dentistry using in-office milling technology, allowing certain crowns and restorations to be completed in a single visit. Laser gum lifts are available to reshape the gumline, improving smile proportions without downtime. Other services include Invisalign, composite bonding, teeth whitening, and comprehensive examinations.
Beyond clinical care, Dr. Goldman has designed the practice to enhance patient comfort, offering a comfort menu to help patients relax during visits. The practice also provides membership plans for patients without dental insurance, making care more accessible. "We want patients to feel comfortable coming to the dentist—not wait until they have an emergency," says Dr. Goldman.
Castle Connolly Top Dentists are selected based on criteria including medical education, training, and disciplinary history. Dentists cannot pay for this recognition, underscoring its credibility. Dr. Goldman's selection reflects her commitment to conservative, patient-centered dentistry and her contributions to the field.
