Meet Dr. David Persky

Growing up in between the Philadelphia and Boston areas, I spent my childhood creating art, reading, and outdoors mountain biking. I attended the University of Pittsburgh and earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a Minor in Chemistry and a second Major in Religious Studies. Continuing my health sciences education, I earned a Master’s Degree in Biomedical Science at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM). The culmination of my Master’s work at PCOM earned me publication of my research on dental materials and factors affecting dental bond strength.

I attended the Boston University School of Dental Medicine and was an active participant and leader in several student organizations including holding the elected position of Student Government Treasurer. Upon graduating from BU with a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree, I continued my dental training in Boston through a Residency in Advanced General Dentistry at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. During this Residency, I honed my skills and continued learning to incorporate new technologies into my everyday practice.

Now living in East Providence with my wife, our dog Libby, and cat Macy, I have been enjoying trying all sorts of new restaurants, exploring the Providence area, and maintaining my love for NFL football (Go Pats!!)

I am excited to continue working with patients to meet their oral health needs and aesthetic desires. While seated in my chair, my patients often remark about my friendly demeanor, attention to detail, and commitment to providing the highest quality of care. I recognize that open communication is crucial to success in my job as a dentist, and I always take the time to chat with each patient about their specific needs and desires. I am glad to answer any question and make sure that every patient is fully aware of their options for care.
