About Dr. Gilardetti

Rachael Gilardetti, DDS, FICOI graduated from New York University College of Dentistry (NYUCD) in 2018. Through the orofacial honors program, Dr. Gilardetti gained experience in the treatment of myofascial pain, neuralgia, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. She also completed a general practice residency at Lincoln Medical Center in Bronx, NY, through Cornell Medical School, followed by a two-year surgical fellowship in implantology at NYU.

Dr. Gilardetti’s general dentistry practice focuses on crowns, fixed prosthodontics, dental implantology, simple and surgical extractions with additional experience in sinus lifts, bone grafts, and alveoloplasty. She is certified in Invisalign and in the placement of Botox.

Dr. Gilardetti is a fellow in the International Congress of Oral Implantology. She is a member of The American Dental Association, Massachusetts Dental Society and Donated Dental, a nationwide volunteer program where dentists provide free dental care for elderly and disabled patients.

Dr. Gilardetti is passionate about treating her patients. Her gentle touch, and calm and empathetic approach allow her to make even the most sensitive patients at ease with their dental care. In her spare time, Dr. Gilardetti volunteers to help disadvantaged populations obtain access to affordable dental care and co-founded a nonprofit mission called Smiles for Ethiopia.

In November 2023, Dr. Gilardetti visited the rural mountains of Peru treating nomadic Inca people. These peoples’ native tongue is quechua, which is an Inca language. The Quechua people have an agricultural lifestyle with very low economic resources. Dr. Gilardetti spent six days doing volunteer dental treatment, such as extractions and fillings, as well as educating the villagers of tooth care. She joined the trip through a nonprofit organization, GoBe International, which is committed to providing free dental care to rural populations in developing countries. On this trip, Dr. Gilardetti set up a mobile dental clinic to visit the villages Cruzpampa and Aquibamba. More than 50% of the patients treated were their first time seeing a dentist.
