We Give Back

We at Tribury Dental are extremely blessed. We feel it is important to give back and help those who need it most – both people and animals. We do this in two ways.

1. Dr. Nicole donates her time with the University of Connecticut’s dental school. She travels with dental students to provide care to underserved individuals and families around the world. She has been to Honduras, the Galapagos Islands, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Maine and Haiti.

2. One percent of all profits are donated to charities. In the past, we have donated to Shrinner’s Children Hospital, the Leever Center, Toys for Tots, St. Vincent DePaul Soup Kitchen, the ASPCA and many more.
