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 licensed dentists nationwide, based on peer nominations and a rigorous selection process by the Castle Connolly research team.
Dr. Goldman's practice, located just 15 miles north of Downtown Boston, focuses on cosmetic and restorative dentistry with an emphasis on preserving natural tooth structure. She has also been recognized as a Boston Magazine Top Dentist in 2025 and 2026 and is an Invisalign Platinum Provider.
Her philosophy centers on a conservative approach to cosmetic dentistry. "Every smile is different, and cosmetic dentistry should never be a one-size-fits-all approach," says Dr. Goldman. "Sometimes a patient thinks they need veneers, when whitening, Invisalign, bonding, or another more conservative option may help them achieve their goals. Preserving natural tooth structure is extremely important to me, and we always look at the most conservative options first."
Dr. Goldman has completed advanced training in no-prep veneer techniques, including the Marshall Hanson Method, which emphasizes facially driven smile design and conservative treatment. This allows for cosmetic transformations with minimal or no removal of natural tooth structure when appropriate.
The practice incorporates modern technology to enhance patient care. Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) Airflow Cleanings use a gentle stream of warm water, air, and fine powder to remove biofilm and stains, offering a comfortable alternative to traditional cleanings. iTero digital oral health scans are performed annually to monitor changes in teeth over time, enabling early intervention. For eligible early-stage cavities, the practice offers Curodont, a non-invasive treatment that supports remineralization and may avoid the need for drilling or fillings.
Dr. Goldman explains, "The earlier we find a problem, the more options we may have. We don't want patients to wait until something hurts or breaks before they come in. Prevention and early detection can make a tremendous difference in how conservatively we are able to treat a tooth."
Levy Goldman Dentistry also utilizes in-office milling technology to create custom crowns and restorations in a single visit, and offers laser gum lifts to reshape the gumline without downtime. Other services include Invisalign, composite veneers, bonding, professional teeth whitening, and comprehensive restorative dentistry.
Beyond clinical care, the practice offers a comfort menu to help patients relax and provides membership plans for those without dental insurance. "We want patients to feel comfortable coming to the dentist—not wait until they have an emergency," says Dr. Goldman. "From the technology we invest in to the environment we create, everything is designed to help patients feel cared for and to give them access to modern options for their oral health."
Castle Connolly Top Dentists are selected based on criteria including medical education, training, and disciplinary history. Dentists cannot pay to be selected. The full list is published at castleconnolly.com and in partner publications.
