Jeffrey Dixon, DDS, MS

I feel honored to be an orthodontist. Obtaining this specialized skill and implementing those skills to make lasting positive changes in someone’s life is rewarding and unique. Meeting so many people across varying degrees of cultures and situations makes me grateful for what I have and what I am able to do for others in this great specialty.

Helping patients become less self-conscious when smiling and more confident overall is so exciting! Watching patients progress through treatment and finally achieving the smile they have always wanted is what I love the most.

My Education

I graduated from SUNY Buffalo Physical Therapy Program in 1992 with a BS degree, Cum Laude, and practiced for four years. Then, from SUNY Buffalo Dental School in 2000, I received my Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree, (DDS) and graduated Magna Cum Laude. After dental school, I completed a three-year Post-Doctoral residency in Orthodontics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham where I received my Post-Doctoral Certificate in Orthodontics and an additional Master’s Degree. I also served as a component president and trustee of a state dental society for two years.

Continuing Education

Continuing education is very important to me and I am actively involved in it through my attendance at multiple regional and national orthodontic educational meetings every year. I have completed the Invisalign® Master Series course, attend the Dawson Academy, and regularly attend CE courses through the ADA and the AAO. Keeping up with the latest technology and methods for creating beautiful functional smiles ensures we are delivering the best possible care.

Something Personal

I am a native of Vestal, NY and now live in Granby, CT. My wife Amy of 22 years is from Westfield, MA. She has a Master’s degree in Elementary Education but stays home and takes care of everyone else. My oldest daughter Ashlyn is a junior in high school and loves basketball and fishing. My youngest Evelyn is in the eighth grade and loves basketball and gymnastics. Our dog Lila is eight and loves taking trips in the car!

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, fishing, hiking, and volunteering as a coach for soccer and basketball.
