Meet Dr. Edward C. Yates

Dr. Edward C. Yates received his dental training at Creighton University. After dental school, he went into residency in Palo Alto, California. During his time in the Palo Alto VA/ Stanford, he received additional training and extensive continuing education. After finishing residency, he moved to Waterford, Connecticut and joined the National Health Service Corps, treating low-income families for more than two years. In September of 2001, Dr. Yates spent a year with the Mystic Dental Group and then another year in Westerly, Rhode Island with Dr. Mitchell. In the fall of 2004, Dr. Yates bought the practice of Dr. Kathryn Payne in Norwich, Connecticut. Continuing education remains an important part of his professional life. He focuses much of his training on cosmetic dentistry as well as prosthetic full mouth reconstructions. He is a member of the American Dental Association, Connecticut State Dental Association, American Dental Implant Association, International Association of Orthodontics, American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and attends many courses and seminars. He is one of very few general dentists who uses fully guided implant placement. Dr. Yates is also happy to offer Invisalign in his office for many of your orthodontic needs.  He enjoys traveling to train other dentists in using CEREC technology.

"Could not ask for a more caring, competent and knowledgeable team. Dr. Yates has changed my life with his expertise. When I sit in his chair I have complete confidence in his skills and those of his staff."

"I have been very fortunate to have been a patient of Dr. Edward Yates since 2004. He has taken exceptional care of me and my family, particularly providing my children with the most amazing smiles! His pain management is amazing, I have never experienced any discomfort during the root canals and crowns that he has performed for me. His technology is outstanding, crowns are completed in one visit. Dr. Yates and his staff are outstanding!"
