Anna Simonis, DDS
Dr. Anna received her Doctorate in Dental Surgery from Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery in 2002. She furthered her education to pursue a certificate of Specialty in Pediatric Dentistry at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn New York, where she served as Chief Resident and provided comprehensive clinical care for children. At Columbia University she led her peers as class president for three years and then delivered the Salutatorian speech at graduation. During her time at Columbia University, she joined a team with Healing the Children Northeast where she provided care to underprivileged communities in Ecuador.
After residency, her private practice experience as a pediatric dentist began on Long Island and Westchester, eventually landing in her permanent New Canaan office, which she built from the ground up and has expanded it into the success it has become today. Just this year, she added an associate, Dr. Michaela Matos, to her practice.
She is a proud and active member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, which she has sung the Star-Spangled Banner for, in the past few years at meetings throughout the country. She is also active with the American Dental Association, Connecticut State Dental Association, New Canaan Dental Society and is Board Certified with the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. In the past she has served on the board for New Canaan Cares and is currently on the Board for New Canaan Daycare Center. She also holds a certificate in Health Coaching from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, which she pursued in 2021, to expand and complement her scope of services.
Dr. Anna, who lives in New Canaan, adores spending time with her family, including husband Dennis, her 17-year-old son, Niko, who is a rising senior at New Canaan High School and her two dogs, Barkley and Leo. Niko has also been an active participant in the community for various activities and sports and is currently working between her office and as a teacher at the Daycare Center of New Canaan.
