Meet Dr. Gary Opin

I enjoy changing people’s lives with a smile, and it is wonderful that I get to work alongside and learn from my father. I believe it is extremely important to build long-term, trusting relationships with my patients, and that starts by taking the time to listen to their needs and concerns. I enjoy the one-on-one interactions I have with my patients and I consider many of them friends.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Colgate University and continued at Tufts University of Dental Medicine, where I earned my Doctorate of Dental Surgery and graduated with honors. I attended the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine to obtain my master’s degree and certificate in orthodontics.

I received the Maury Massler Award for demonstrating outstanding ability academically, clinically, and professionally in all phases of clinical dentistry, as well as the Tufts University Alumni Dental Association Award for excellence in periodontology. I was also inducted into the OKU dental honor society. I am currently a member of the American Board of Orthodontics and the Angle Society and am an assistant professor and a member of the craniofacial team at Yale University School of Medicine and the University of Connecticut.

I currently reside in Milford with my certified therapy dogs Cooper and Lucy. In my free time, I enjoy playing hockey, boating, surfing, and taking Cooper and Lucy to schools and hospitals to bring a little joy to those who need it. I am active with the United Way, Boys and Girls Club, Rotary, and Milford Bank.
