Dr. Jerry Simon, a proud Stamford resident, is an award-winning, top-rated cosmetic dentist serving patients across Stamford, Greenwich, Darien, and surrounding communities—with many traveling from out of state for his advanced, specialized care. With over four decades of experience, he delivers comprehensive preventive dentistry with an emphasis on aesthetic smile transformations, precise bite alignment, and the treatment of TMJ-related pain, headaches, or jaw discomfort.
Dr. Simon is known not only for his clinical expertise but for his role as a dental coach—guiding patients to better understand, value, and take control of their dental health. His approach goes beyond treatment, helping patients build long-term healthy habits and confidence in their smiles through education, prevention, and personalized care.
When Dr. Jerry Simon isn’t in the office, he enjoys traveling with his wife—whether it’s a quick getaway to New York City or an international adventure, like their recent trip to Africa, where they experienced and captured the beauty of its remarkable wildlife. He values time with family above all, especially cherishing moments with his grandchildren. During the winter months, if he’s not in the office, you can often find him on the slopes, enjoying a day of skiing.
Dr. Jerry Simon founded Dental Care Stamford with a vision of delivering a higher level of coordinated, patient-centered dental care—making it easier for patients to access the comprehensive treatment they need, all in one place.
Through years of experience, he recognized that many adults with dental anxiety trace their fears back to negative childhood experiences. Determined to change that, he expanded his vision to create a more positive path forward for future generations.
Building on this philosophy, he also founded:
Together, these practices create a fully integrated, multi-specialty approach—allowing patients and families to receive expert care at every stage of life, all within one convenient location.
Dr. Jerry Simon has dedicated his career to helping patients achieve their dental goals—creating natural, confident smile transformations, lasting oral health, and meaningful relief from jaw pain and headaches.
Over the course of his career, he has treated a vast number of patients, each with a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique smile and goals. Treatment options may include clear aligners or adult orthodontics—often delivering results in months, not years—as well as natural-looking cosmetic enhancements such as porcelain veneers, or a combination.
With Dr. Simon, you don’t have to know exactly what you need. He serves as your dental coach, guiding you toward the right solution with a plan designed around your priorities, timeline, and budget.
Beyond clinical care, Dr. Simon is deeply committed to giving back. Through his charity, the Smiles for Life Foundation, more than $600,000 has been raised to support children and health-related causes.
Locally, Dr. Jerry Simon has been consistently recognized as a Top Dentist in publications including Fairfield County Magazine, Stamford Magazine, Greenwich Magazine, and Stamford Plus Magazine. Nationally, he has delivered over 50 professional lectures, published extensively in dental and medical journals, and has been featured as a dental expert on major media networks, including Fox, ABC, NBC, and Discovery.

Dr. Jerry Simon is widely recognized for his work in identifying and addressing bite-related causes of chronic headaches, jaw pain, and head, neck, and facial discomfort associated with TMJ (temporomandibular disorders). His approach focuses on uncovering whether an imbalanced bite or jaw dysfunction may be contributing to a patient’s symptoms—especially in cases where traditional treatments have not provided lasting relief.
Dr. Simon is the author of Stop Headaches Now, a widely read resource that explains how dental factors can play a role in headache and facial pain, along with potential treatment approaches. With over 40 years of clinical experience, he has helped patients from across the region—and beyond—better understand the source of their pain and explore personalized treatment options.
He is also the inventor of the patented, FDA-accepted Best-Bite Discluder, a diagnostic device used by dentists worldwide to help evaluate bite alignment and its potential impact on head, neck, and facial discomfort. This non-invasive evaluation process allows for a more precise understanding of whether bite imbalance may be a contributing factor.
Today, thousands of dentists across multiple countries utilize this diagnostic approach as part of their assessment of TMJ-related symptoms and bite dysfunction—reflecting Dr. Simon’s contribution to advancing awareness and evaluation in this area of care.
