Meet the Doctor

Dr. Elena Bielawski and the team at Lifetime Family Dentistry are very pleased to be able to offer beautiful smiles to their neighbors in Collinsville and the surrounding communities.

Dr. Bielawski has a passion for dentistry and personalized patient care that began over 22 years ago. She received her initial dental degree from the School of Dental Medicine in Russia. After completing her specialty residency, she dedicated 10 years working as a maxillofacial surgeon in a hospital setting and in private practice. After moving to the U.S., Dr. Bielawski earned her dental degree from the New York University College of Dentistry with Honors in Oral Surgery. Upon graduation, she completed a general dentistry residency program at St. Francis Hospital in Hartford, where she received advanced training in restorative dentistry, periodontics, prosthodontics, dental implants, and sedation. At the completion of her residency, Dr. Bielawski was awarded the E. Gerard Keen, DDS Award for demonstration of the highest motivational and clinical skills.

In order to keep up to date on the latest advancements in dentistry and to provide the highest level of care for her patients, Dr. Bielawski takes between 100 and 140 continuing education hours per year, far exceeding the 25 hours required by the State of Connecticut. Her commitment to education grows from her sincere dedication to patient care and the desire to provide every patient with the smile of their dreams in complete comfort. She is a proud member of the Academy of General Dentistry, a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, a Fellow of the Misch International Implant Institute, and currently working toward Diplomate status in those fields.

Outside of the office, Dr. Bielawski enjoys organic gardening (if deer missed her flower beds), cooking, knitting, listening to classical music, working out at the gym, and learning more about American history. She lives in Canton with her husband, who's a proudly retired U.S. Army veteran.

Dr. Bielawski is excited to meet you and discuss your dental needs. Call our office today at (860) 693-8314 to schedule the first step toward your healthiest smile.
