Dr. Naomi Goldman, DDS, owner of Levy Goldman Dentistry in Peabody, Massachusetts, has been named a 2026 Castle Connolly Top Dentist, an honor reserved for only 10% of the nation's licensed dentists. The recognition underscores her dedication to modern, patient-centered dentistry that prioritizes conservative treatment and advanced technology.
Goldman, who has also been named a Boston Magazine Top Dentist for 2025 and 2026 and is an Invisalign Platinum Provider, runs a practice that combines cosmetic and restorative dentistry with a strong emphasis on preserving natural tooth structure. Her philosophy is evident in her approach to smile transformations: she evaluates each patient individually, often recommending less invasive options like whitening, Invisalign, or bonding before considering veneers. 'Sometimes a patient thinks they need veneers, when whitening, Invisalign, bonding, or another more conservative option may help them achieve their goals,' Goldman said. 'Preserving natural tooth structure is extremely important to me.'
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. This allows her to offer transformations with minimal to no removal of enamel in appropriate cases. The practice also provides composite bonding, laser gum lifts, and same-day crowns using in-office milling technology, enabling eligible patients to complete restorative procedures in a single visit.
Prevention is a cornerstone of Levy Goldman Dentistry. The practice incorporates Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) Airflow Cleanings, a gentle alternative to traditional cleanings that uses water, air, and fine powder to remove biofilm and stains. Additionally, Goldman utilizes iTero digital oral health scans annually to monitor changes in patients' teeth over time, allowing for early intervention. For early-stage cavities, the practice offers Curodont, a non-invasive treatment that supports enamel remineralization, potentially avoiding traditional fillings. 'The earlier we find a problem, the more options we may have,' Goldman noted.
The patient experience is also a priority. Levy Goldman Dentistry offers a comfort menu to help patients relax during visits and provides membership plans for those without dental insurance, making care more accessible. Located just 15 miles north of Downtown Boston, the practice serves Peabody, the North Shore, Boston, and surrounding communities.
Castle Connolly Top Dentists are nominated by peers and selected by the research team based on criteria including education, training, and disciplinary history. Dentists cannot pay to be selected, ensuring the honor reflects professional excellence.
