I love working in dentistry. The building of relationships with our patients and their families, the happy smiles, and the confidence that our patients gain from improving their health make dentistry a truly wonderful profession! I am also fortunate to be part of such a great practice. I enjoy working with Dr. Ungerleider because he is genuine and sincere, and works hard to make sure our patients feel good.
I am originally from Connecticut, and have worked in dentistry since 1985. When I am away from the practice, I enjoy spending time with my two daughters, precious grandson and my fun-loving, handsome husband, John. I also enjoy cooking, entertaining, swimming, and gardening.
In dentistry, there’s always something new and exciting to smile about, and at Granby Dental Center, that’s what we do: make people smile! I’ve enjoyed working in the dental field since 2001, and it continues to be a rewarding and fulfilling career.
Working with Dr. Ungerleider is such a pleasure. He is truly an artist, and every single one of our patients looks great after treatment. Our entire team is dedicated to making patients feel like family. We want you to enjoy your dental visits, and we always look forward to seeing you at each appointment.
I started my career in 2010 as a dental hygienist for my Fathers practice in West Hartford Center. It was an amazing opportunity to work in a well-established practice and gain skills in dentistry. After my Father retired I continued to work in the dental field. Fast forward a few years later , I was fortunate to have found Granby Dental Center. I knew from the moment I met the team that this is where I belong. Granby Dental Center is a modern office with the latest cutting edge technology. We put the patient first and treat everyone like family. I enjoy educating people about their oral health and helping them achieve a better smile.
When I am not fighting tarter, you will find me outdoors with my husband and my dog, Revy. We love traveling together and seeing what the world has to offer. I am an avid skiier, scuba diver and equestrian rider. I am currently riding and training my off track thoroughbred named Pi.
I graduated from CT State in 2023 and am proud to be practicing as a dental hygienist who truly loves what I do. While in school, I served as President of our Student American Dental Hygienists’ Association chapter, which strengthened my commitment to leadership and patient advocacy.
My goal is to make every patient feel comfortable, informed, and cared for. I’m passionate about continuing education and consistently seek opportunities to expand my knowledge so I can provide the highest level of care. I also volunteer each year at Connecticut Mission of Mercy (CTMOM), where I help deliver free dental services to those in need.
When I’m not in the office, you can find me baking sourdough, spending time with my dog, Kobi, or enjoying time with my family.
I enjoy working for a dental practice that is always current with the latest technology. I have been working in dentistry since 1994, and have worked with the Granby Dental Center since 2001. Dr. Ungerleider is an amazing dentist to work with, and he shows a keen attention to detail. I love helping our patients and being able to utilize new dental technology to help them achieve the beautiful, healthy smiles they deserve.
In my free time away from the practice, I enjoy spending time with my husband Shkelzen, and our two sons Leon and Leke. I also enjoy reading, gardening, and volunteering with various church activities.
I began my career in dentistry in 1989 and The Granby Dental Center in 2013. Our practice is a very high-tech, modern dental practice where education is key, and the opportunity to grow is always available.
I enjoy attending regular CE courses to keep my knowledge of dentistry current, as well as keep my skills sharp. My goal is to help our patients feel comfortable and at ease while they are here.
I live in Granby with my family and our cat. I enjoy spending free time with my son and our friends. I also enjoy reading, running, and practicing yoga.
With over 10 years of experience in the dental field, I’m passionate about helping patients feel comfortable, confident, and informed about their care. I’m especially fluent in navigating the dental insurance world and love helping patients understand their benefits and options — no confusing jargon here!
When I’m not at the office, I’m a proud mom to my son and love spending my free time at concerts, discovering new breweries, and trying new things. I’m always happy to answer questions and help make your visit as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Cynthia Minichino is a lifelong resident of Granby, Connecticut, who brings warmth, experience, and a genuine love for people to her work in dentistry. She truly enjoys meeting new patients and helping them feel comfortable and at ease during their visit, understanding that a positive experience can make all the difference.
Outside of the office, Cynthia is a proud mom to Peyton and Brody. She loves spending time with her family at their cabin in Vermont, tucked away on 10 peaceful acres down a dirt road. When she’s not working, you can often find her skiing in the winter, mountain biking in the warmer months, enjoying a glass of red wine with friends, or playing a competitive game of setback.
Cynthia values community, connection, and creating meaningful experiences both in and out of the dental office.
