Thomas J. Tiberi, D.M.D.

Growing up in Bridgeport, CT, Dr. Thomas Tiberi attended St. Patrick’s Grammar School. He also attended Notre Dame High School in Fairfield. Dr. Thomas Tiberi received his undergraduate degree at Duquesne University and his graduate degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine. 

Upon graduating, Dr. Thomas Tiberi decided to return to Connecticut because of familial roots and strong ties to the Bridgeport community. He has been in practice since 1992 and has strong affiliations with dental specialists in the greater Bridgeport area. Dr. Thomas Tiberi strongly believes that a great dental provider should always put patients' needs first. He provides excellent cosmetic, aesthetic, preventive and functional results that suit each patient’s financial situation. He has a keen sense for the artistry and skill required to provide these results. What he finds most fulfilling is when a patient is truly satisfied and gives him a hug and a big smile and says, “Thank You, Dr. Tom. You are a great dentist and a great person!" His response is usually, “This is my calling and I will always be there for my patients.”
