DDS

Dr. Timothy Garofolo founded The Dentistry Collective in 2007 with a clear and compelling mission: to redefine the dental experience by treating every patient as an honored guest. His vision was born from personal experience—having once feared dental visits himself, Dr. Garofolo is deeply committed to creating an environment where comfort, trust, and care are paramount.

Practicing since 2002, Dr. Garofolo brings a comprehensive skill set to his guests, with expertise in dental implants, cosmetic dentistry, and root canal therapy. He is certified in advanced dental technologies, including CEREC, Galileos CT scanning, and Invisalign®, and holds a Fellowship with the International Association of Implant Dentistry. His dedication to continual learning ensures that guests receive the highest standard of modern, minimally invasive care.

What truly sets Dr. Garofolo apart is his belief that dentistry should go beyond procedures—it should be an experience rooted in intention, hospitality, and genuine connection. Under his leadership, The Dentistry Collective has become a destination for those seeking a more personalized, innovative, and human approach to oral health.

Guided by core values—boldness, authenticity, gratitude, and service—Dr. Garofolo continues to lead a team passionate about making a meaningful impact in the lives of their guests and the greater community.

I just got my first ever root canal done here, and honestly I cannot express how comfortable and relaxed I felt. I have/had severe dental anxiety preventing me from going to get any amount of work done along with some other factors, so it was pretty hard to get myself to get anything done. I had a toothache that was so unrelenting it bothered me so much I made an appointment the next day and got it done all within less than 12 hours. Dr. Garfolo was very kind along with the other staff who helped me feel more at ease throughout the whole thing. I didn't even feel a single thing the whole time I was in the chair! If there was any place to go if you suffer with dental anxiety and want to get over it, this is the place!
