Shoreline Periodontics: Dr. Gregory A. Toback, Dr. Lavanya Rajendran, & Dr. Ellen Pearce

Periodontal care often flies under the radar until it becomes urgent. Gums, after all, support everything from daily comfort to long-term dental health—yet many people only think about them when something feels off. Shoreline Periodontics offers a quiet kind of expertise in this specialized field, handling everything from routine maintenance to more involved procedures like gum grafts, dental implants, and pocket reduction surgery. The practice operates from 190 Hempstead Street in New London, a stretch of road where the city’s older brick facades meet the steady rhythm of local life. It’s the sort of place you might drive past on your way to the waterfront, unaware of the precise work happening just off the sidewalk.

Three periodontists—Dr. Gregory A. Toback, Dr. Lavanya Rajendran, and Dr. Ellen Pearce—cover a range of treatments that extend beyond basic cleanings. Scaling and root planing, regenerative procedures, and even cosmetic gum contouring fall within their scope, each aimed at preserving or restoring the structures that hold teeth in place. No fanfare, just function. For appointments or questions, the number to call is (860) 775-4839. Directions can be pulled up here: map.
