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. This recognition underscores her dedication to minimally invasive, patient-centered dentistry, a philosophy that sets her apart in the field.
Dr. Goldman's practice, located just 15 miles north of Downtown Boston, emphasizes modern technology, preventive care, and personalized smile transformations. Her approach is rooted in preserving natural tooth structure whenever possible. "Every smile is different, and cosmetic dentistry should never be a one-size-fits-all approach," says Dr. Goldman. "Sometimes a patient thinks they need veneers, when whitening, Invisalign, bonding, or another more conservative option may help them achieve their goals."
A key aspect of her practice is the focus on no-prep veneer techniques, including training through the Marshall Hanson Method. This method incorporates facially driven smile design and conservative cosmetic dentistry, allowing for transformations with minimal to no removal of healthy tooth structure. "The goal isn't to give every patient the same smile," she explains. "The goal is to create something that looks natural, fits their face, and feels like them—while preserving as much of their 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 gentle alternative to traditional cleanings that uses warm water, air, and fine powder to remove biofilm and stains. Additionally, Dr. Goldman utilizes iTero digital oral health scans annually to monitor changes in patients' teeth, enabling early intervention. For eligible early-stage cavities, the practice provides Curodont, a non-invasive treatment that supports remineralization without drilling or fillings. "The earlier we find a problem, the more options we may have," Dr. Goldman notes.
The practice also features same-day restorative dentistry through in-office milling technology, allowing patients to receive custom crowns in a single visit. Laser gum lifts are available for reshaping gumlines without downtime. Other services include Invisalign, composite veneers, bonding, and professional teeth whitening.
Beyond clinical offerings, Dr. Goldman has designed the patient experience to reduce anxiety, including a comfort menu and membership plans for those without dental insurance. "We want patients to feel comfortable coming to the dentist—not wait until they have an emergency," she says.
Castle Connolly Top Dentists are selected through a peer-nomination process and rigorous research. According to Castle Connolly, dentists cannot pay to be included, ensuring the list reflects professional excellence. Dr. Goldman's recognition as a 2026 Top Dentist, alongside her Boston Magazine Top Dentist honors in 2025 and 2026 and her status as an Invisalign Platinum Provider, solidifies her reputation as a leader in conservative, high-quality dental care.
