About Us

Dr. Anthony Prezioso, D.M.D.

Dr. Anthony Prezioso, owner of Prezioso Dental Associates, established the practice after taking over two dental practices in Hamden and merging them together at the current location. Both of the merged practices were in existence in the community for over 40 years. Dr. Prezioso’s office is here to provide an exceptional dental care option. Today, with a practice philosophy that focuses on uncompromising care and compassion, Dr. Prezioso and his awesome team have achieved their goal.

Dr. Prezioso received his Doctor of Dental Medicine Degree from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. As a dental student he served as president of the student council and was awarded certificates of merit from the department of Pediatric Dentistry. He was also awarded a merit scholarship for superior academic performance while in dental school. Upon graduating from dental school he accepted a residency at Danbury Hospital and Yale University. He gained extensive experience in oral surgery, endodontics (root canals) and in the treatment of dental emergencies and trauma. Dr. Prezioso is committed to continuing professional growth and development. He is an alumnus of the L.D. Pankey Institute for Advanced Dental Education. He has completed courses that teach advanced TMJ, occlusal, prosthetic and practice management skills, making Dr. Prezioso a highly trained rehabilitative and aesthetic dentist. He has also taken several courses over the last 11 years to keep him on the cutting edge of technology, so that he can offer the best treatment to his patients.

Dr. and Mrs. Prezioso currently reside in Cheshire, CT with their daughter Olivia, who enjoys art and dance, and sons Alex, who loves spending time playing sports and video games, and Aidan, who loves spending time with his brother and sister and has a real knack for baseball and football at an early age. Dr. Prezioso has always enjoyed fitness and is currently active in competitive sprint triathlons. He has completed several of them and will continue to as long as his body allows! He also enjoys playing golf, and spending time with his family. He and Ann Marie share fitness as a hobby and you will usually find them exercising somewhere. He and his wife are animal lovers, and also enjoy their yorkie, Joey.

Liz Ghidini - Certified Dental Assistant

Hi my name is Liz.  I reside in East Haven with my husband of 40 years, Bob. I was lucky enough to join  Prezioso  Dental when Dr. Prezioso opened his practice,  here in Hamden, 13 years ago.   I was employed in manufacturing for many years before making a complete turn  around  in my career and decided  to go to dental assisting school.  It was a decision that I never have regretted. I look forward to seeing our patients , who I now consider friends, or introducing myself to an unfamiliar face.  I get  satisfaction knowing that I can comfort someone who has an extreme fear of the dentist.  One of my passions outside of the office is gardening. I am a member of the Morris Cove garden club. Besides gardening, my husband and I love to travel. We have been traveling for as long as we have been married .From the mountains of the Poconos, to the ocean of the Caribbean, with Jamaica being one of our favorite destinations, but we are happy to return home to our cat, Toby.
