At Salvatore Dental our mission is to deliver exceptional comprehensive dental care to all of our patients. We believe in improving, educating and maintaining oral health for everyone in a professional and compassionate environment. We promise to devote ourselves to excellence and always remain open-minded to possibilities, keeping our family dentistry up-to-date with ever-changing advances in dental science.
We are a family style practice, where everyone finds himself or herself comfortable, where everyone at our general dentistry is enthusiastic and caring to our patients and one another. Our goal is to build long-lasting relationships where our patients feel right at home. We are a true family practice consisting of three dentists: Dr. Richard Salvatore Sr., Dr Richard Salvatore Jr. and Dr. Vera Popova Salvatore.
Dr. Richard Salvatore JR.
Dr. Richard Salvatore Jr. is a leading member in the Academy of 3D dentists, pioneering the implementation of 3D technology with dentistry. Less than 1% of dentists provide the in-house 3D technology that Salvatore Dental uses on a daily basis.
Dr. Vera Popova Salvatore
Dr. Vera Popova Salvatore is a passionate dental provider with a focus on aesthetics. She received an International Leadership Award and has a minor in Aesthetic Dentistry. Dr. Vera has a hunger for knowledge and receives 10x more Continuing Education than the average dentist. We now have the ability to accurately and efficiently diagnose, leading to higher quality of care.
Dentistry has been a family tradition since 1934. Dr. Arthur Salvatore Sr.’s passion for helping the community inspired four of his children to pursue careers in the dental field. Currently practicing in a newly built, state?of?the?art office, Dr. Richard Salvatore, Sr. (Doc), his son Dr. Richard Salvatore, Jr. (Dr. Rich), and his wife, Dr. Vera Popova Salvatore (Dr. Vera), provide premier digital dentistry using 3D printers, cone beam technology, digital impressions and dual patient televisions. Salvatore Dental has been the proud recipient of numerous awards, including recognition as the top?rated practice in the Capital District. Doc has been practicing for 49 years in the Capital Region, taking over the practice from his father. Many of his career?long patients, having been with the practice for more than 60 years, have seen all three generations of doctors. Doc continues to enjoy all aspects of dentistry and blends time? tested techniques along with cutting?edge digital dentistry. Dr. Rich is a leading member in the Academy of 3D dentists, pioneering the implementation of 3D technology with dentistry. Less than 1% of dentists provide the in?house 3D technology that Salvatore Dental uses on a daily basis. Further, he has obtained more than 500 hours of additional training with focus on providing dental implants for a permanent solution for his patients.
Ironically, Dr. Vera also comes from a family of dentists with both parents practicing in Ukraine. Dr. Vera’s cosmetic dentistry is award winning! She has won the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry Award as well as International College of Dentists Award. Spanning 122 countries, a nominated dentist must pass a rigorous peer review process leading to the recognition of the individual’s “outstanding professional achievement, meritorious service and dedication to the continued progress of dentistry for the benefit of humankind.”
