Dr. Naomi Goldman, DDS, owner of Levy Goldman Dentistry in Peabody, Massachusetts, has been named a 2026 Castle Connolly Top Dentist. This honor is awarded to only 10% of the nation's licensed dentists each year, based on peer nominations and a rigorous selection process by the Castle Connolly research team.
Dr. Goldman, a cosmetic and restorative dentist, has built her practice around modern technology, preventive care, and minimally invasive treatments. Her philosophy emphasizes preserving natural tooth structure whenever possible. 'Every smile is different, and cosmetic dentistry should never be a one-size-fits-all approach,' she said. 'Sometimes a patient thinks they need veneers, when whitening, Invisalign, bonding, or another more conservative option may help them achieve their goals.'
Levy Goldman Dentistry offers a range of services designed to prioritize patient comfort and conservative treatment. The practice utilizes Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) Airflow Cleanings, which use warm water, air, and fine powder to gently remove biofilm and stains, offering a comfortable alternative to traditional cleanings. Additionally, iTero digital oral health scans are performed annually to monitor changes in teeth over time, allowing for early intervention when concerns arise.
For eligible early-stage cavities, the practice provides Curodont, a non-invasive treatment that supports remineralization of early enamel lesions, potentially avoiding the need for drilling or fillings. 'The earlier we find a problem, the more options we may have,' Dr. Goldman explained. 'Prevention and early detection can make a tremendous difference in how conservatively we are able to treat a tooth.'
The practice also features same-day restorative dentistry through in-office milling technology, enabling eligible patients to receive custom crowns and restorations in a single visit. Laser gum lifts are available to reshape the gumline and improve smile proportions without downtime. Other services include Invisalign clear aligner therapy, no-prep porcelain veneers, composite veneers, cosmetic bonding, professional teeth whitening, and comprehensive dental examinations.
Dr. Goldman has completed advanced training in no-prep veneer techniques, including the Marshall Hanson Method, which focuses on facially driven smile design and conservative cosmetic dentistry. This training allows her to offer cosmetic transformations that often require little to no removal of natural tooth structure. 'The goal isn't to give every patient the same smile,' she said. 'The goal is to create something that looks natural, fits their face, and feels like them—while preserving as much of their natural tooth structure as possible.'
Beyond clinical technology, Levy Goldman Dentistry aims to create a comfortable patient experience with a comfort menu and membership plans for those without dental insurance. Located just 15 miles north of Downtown Boston, the practice serves patients from Peabody, the North Shore, Boston, and surrounding communities.
Dr. Goldman's recognition as a 2026 Castle Connolly Top Dentist adds to her previous accolades, including being named a Boston Magazine Top Dentist in 2025 and 2026 and being an Invisalign Platinum Provider. Castle Connolly publishes its Top Dentists list at castleconnolly.com, and dentists cannot pay to be selected.
