Meet The Doctors

Dr. Paul Harbottle brings a rich international background and over two decades of clinical experience to his dental practice. Raised in London, England, Dr. Harbottle began his academic journey at a traditional English boarding school before pursuing university studies in London. Initially, he began studying Pharmacy but soon realized his true passion lay in dentistry—a field that runs in the family, with both his parents in the medical profession and his older brother also practicing as a dentist in London.

Motivated by this passion, Dr. Harbottle went on to earn his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the University of lowa College of Dentistry in 1994. Following dental school, he completed a two-year fellowship in implant dentistry at New York University from 1996 to 1998. His advanced training has shaped a practice that blends precision, cosmetics, innovation, and compassionate care.

Even from a young age, Dr. Harbottle demonstrated a keen eye for detail-excelling in carpentry and wood turning classes throughout middle and high school. The craftsmanship and precision required in those disciplines have translated seamlessly into his restorative dental work, where meticulous attention to detail is key to delivering natural, long-lasting results.

In 1994, Dr. Harbottle came under the mentorship of the esteemed Dr. Stephen Sovich, who had been serving the New Canaan community since 1970. Since then, Dr. Harbottle has continued the legacy, proudly caring for many local families-now spanning four generations.

With a deep commitment to individualized treatment and lifelong learning, Dr. Harbottle is known not only for his clinical skill but also for the long-lasting relationships he builds with his patients and his genuine affection for so many of them.

An artist long before he was a dentist, Dr. Graham Caulkins brings a special focus in biomimetic dentistry to the practice — a conservative, tooth-preserving approach that uses the latest, science-backed techniques and highest-quality biomaterials to save every healthy tooth rather than replace it. His restorative work rebuilds teeth to mimic their natural strength, function, and beauty.

Raised in Chappaqua, New York, and educated at Brunswick School in Greenwich, Dr. Caulkins showed an early aptitude for the arts — earning recognition as a teenage artist, with work exhibited on Greenwich Avenue, and later becoming a landscape oil painter. He spent his summers restoring antique colonial furniture, disciplines that demand patience, a trained eye for proportion and color, and a deep respect for the integrity of the original material. It is the same sensibility he brings to every restoration he performs today.

A merit-scholar graduate of the New York University College of Dentistry, Dr. Caulkins completed his clinical residency at Montefiore Hospital, where he received advanced training in restorative dentistry and worked alongside oral and maxillofacial surgeons on complex cases. Over the past five-plus years, a growing passion for biomimetic dentistry has taken him to its source — studying under two of the field’s founding masters: Dr. Simone Deliperi at the Sardinia Dental Teaching Center in Italy, and in person with Dr. David Alleman in Provo, Utah. That training culminated in a mastership program, making him one of the few dentists in the United States to reach this level of biomimetic certification. His work has been recognized with the USA Top Dentists 2026 award for Cosmetic Dentistry.
