Dr. David Cabeceiras, is what they call a “Double Jumbo,” being a graduate of both Tufts University School of Dental Medicine for dentistry as well as his specialty in Orthodontics. His passion for teaching was spawned early on, and he has been a long-time member of the school’s Orthodontic faculty. With ARCH, Dr. Cabs sees patients in both the Bridgewater and the Stoughton offices.
Dr. Chase says, “Dr. Cabeceiras has a long track record of exceptionalism that blends wonderfully with our team. We all share a mutually beneficial approach to our professional and personal lives using ARCH’s core values, recognized as the acronym SPIRE: Support, Professionalism, Integrity, Respect, and Excellence.”
On joining the practice, Dr. Cabeceiras said, “ARCH offers a great opportunity to continue a high level of care in a patient-centered environment with the most up-to-date technology including digital radiology and CBCT scans. A group practice allows doctors to share ideas to solve complex problems which raises the standard of care for patients. These attributes combined with great assistants and staff are the reasons why I decided to join the practice.”
It was in dental school that Dr. Cabeceiras decided to specialize in the treatment of children: “Orthodontics has such a great impact on a child’s dental growth and development. No two cases are alike so the challenge of diagnosis and individualizing treatment plans is what most appeals to me. One patient anecdote stands out. In 2006, Dr Cabeceiras read an article concerning a former patient who was selected as Miss Massachusetts. “I contacted her and she visited the office. It was a treat to see her all grown up and on her way as we all shared in her accomplishment. She sent me a signed photo thanking me for her smile that hangs in the waiting room for patients to admire.”
