Dr. Nathan
Makay, DDS
Great care starts with a genuine connection. For Dr. Makay, dentistry is about more than a healthy smile—it's about the people behind it.
A familiar face. A warm welcome.
Here for you.
The best part?
The relationships.
“The relationships I’ve built with my patients have made such an impact on my life.”
Dr. Makay's profession means everything to him. Other than spending time with his family, helping people feel better about themselves and their smiles is what he enjoys most.
Every day brings an opportunity to learn something new from a patient, and those connections continue to nourish his professional growth. That same spirit extends to the Essex Family Dental team: people who genuinely enjoy their work, their patients, and each other.

Vermont at heart.
