MEET OUR TEAM
Our Doctors
Dr. Christopher M. Cappelli, DDS
President/CEO
Dr. Cappelli earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from NYU College of Dentistry in 2000 and completed his residency at St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx, where he served as Chief Resident and received advanced training in restorative, surgical, and emergency dentistry.
A lifelong commitment to service defines Dr. Cappelli both professionally and personally. As a firefighter, he courageously assisted others during the events of September 11th — an experience that reflects his strength, composure, and dedication to helping those in need. That same calm under pressure carries into his dental practice every day. He is also a licensed pilot, a testament to his discipline, precision, and pursuit of mastery.
Clinically, Dr. Cappelli has developed extensive expertise in dental implant surgery and advanced full-arch rehabilitation procedures, including complex All-on-X cases. He is deeply committed to restoring function, health, and confidence for patients seeking transformative dental care.
What truly distinguishes Dr. Cappelli is his personality. Patients consistently describe him as authentic, approachable, and genuinely caring. His humor and quick wit make appointments enjoyable, easing anxiety and building lasting relationships. Children feel especially comfortable in his care, while adults value his ability to connect on a real and human level. Under his leadership, Cappelli Dental blends advanced technology with a warm, family-centered environment — honoring its roots while continually striving for excellence.
