About New Fairfield Orthodontics
Dr. Emily Ding
I feel incredibly fortunate to spend my days helping people smile with confidence. One of the things I love most about orthodontics is getting to know each patient and their family along the way. Building meaningful relationships with my patients, my team, and my community is what inspires me every day, and it’s a privilege to be part of each patient’s smile journey.
My passion for science led me to the University of Pennsylvania, where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry and Master of Science in Chemistry. I went on to complete my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree, followed by my specialty training in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine.
In addition to caring for patients in my practice, I enjoy giving back to the profession through teaching and leadership. I serve as an attending orthodontist for the General Practice Residency program at Danbury Hospital, where I enjoy mentoring the next generation of dentists. I also serve on the board of the Greater Danbury Dental Society and value the opportunity to support and connect with colleagues throughout our local dental community.
After spending 10 years in Philadelphia, I was thrilled to return home to Connecticut to be closer to family. Outside the office, I love spending time with my daughter and taking advantage of everything New England has to offer—from camping and hiking to fishing, nature photography, and exploring the outdoors together.

As I enter my 44th year of practicing Orthodontics, I have made the decision to turn over the reins of my practice and transition to the next chapter of my life. I feel truly privileged to have treated so many wonderful patients throughout my career! I want to take a moment to thank you for your confidence, trust, and patience. The relationships that I have formed with all my patients will continue to enrich my life and greatly contribute to my happiness. I look forward to seeing everybody around the office as we all transition during this new and exciting time.
MEET THE TEAM
RANA Office Manager
I have been lucky enough to find a career where I love coming to work every day. I have the privilege of getting new patients started on their orthodontic journey. Accuracy and customer care are important to me because I want to ensure our patients have the absolute best experience! The best part of my job is bonding with our patients on a personal level and seeing their smiles transform into something they are happy to show off. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends – hiking in the Adirondacks or just home cooking and playing games.

I am very excited to be the newest member of the team! The most rewarding part of my job is making patients feel relaxed and helping them get the beautiful smile that they deserve! There is no better feeling than walking out of the office with a new and improved sense of confidence. In my free time, I love hanging out with friends and family, crocheting and traveling the world.
