Dr. Stephen W. Yardan, DDS

In Branford’s quiet, tree-lined reaches off Pine Orchard Road sits a practice many pass on their way south toward the shoreline. Dr. Stephen W. Yardan, DDS handles the basics—routine cleanings, fillings, crowns—while also tackling orthodontics and emergency repairs. Periodontal care is part of the same routine for patients who need deeper maintenance. The list runs to simpler items as well: night guards fashioned from digital impressions, simple extractions performed without fanfare, and the occasional wisdom-tooth takedown. You can reach the office before a detour to the shore gets in the way: 9 Pine Orchard Rd, Branford, CT 06405.

Standard X-rays still anchor the diagnostic process, updated with digital bitewing and panoramic shots. Bleeding gums, cold sensitivity, or a loose crown—these don’t wait well. Crowded molars get evaluated for aligners whether the patient is ten or sixty. The operatory mix leans toward metal-free restorations; implants are planned onsite and referred to trusted specialists when the graft is larger than a crack. Bleach trays soak overnight at home while the practice tracks the shade tab. Keep the next bridge appointment in six months, or call ahead when a temporary cracks.

There’s no need to plot a factory tour to find the office. A quick map settles it: use the directions and park by the wooded corner. Add contact info once near the end: call (203) 481-0338.
