Anthony became interested in dentistry when he was 9 years old and had his one and only filling done. His dentist was one of his mom’s best friends; so, he was always felt very welcome at the practice. Dr. Carbonella shadowed him in high school for 100 hrs and became completely hooked.  He went to UConn undergrad with every intention of getting accepted into UConn School of Dental Medicine. The summer before dental school started, he was offered a USAF scholarship for school. After graduating, Dr. Carbonella went onto active duty, did AEGD residency in California, got lots of good training in every specialty, then was assigned to McGuire Air Force base in New Jersey. He’s been at McGuire for the past 3.5 years and has been moonlighting for the past year for private practice experience and to save some extra cash. In the past has lectured to younger "airmen" on the benefits of retirement planning and being smart with money. It's a passion of his. Next spring he is leaving for San Antonio Texas where he will start the TORP (Tri Service Ortho Residency Program, Army, navy, and Air Force). Other than that, he is the oldest child of 4 boys, who all went to UConn. He is engaged to his lovely fiancé Angela who is a jersey girl through and through, Columbia University graduate, and a child psychologist.
