I grew up in Brooklyn, NY before moving to New Jersey for high school and college. I received a Bachelor of Science in psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in biology from Rutgers University. My interest in dentistry came from my early interest in the biological sciences and my desire to work with my hands. I enjoy learning new techniques and acquiring the latest technologies to best serve my patients.
I obtained my dental degree from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. After dental school, I joined the U.S. Air Force. There, I reached the rank of captain and completed an advanced education in general dentistry residency at Bolling Air Force Base in Washington DC. During my three years of active duty, I received extensive training in oral surgery and forensic dentistry.
After my Air Force years, I started the Harmony Dental Group with Dr. Faber from scratch, with the belief that if you build a clean and modern facility and treat people the way you would want to be treated, then success would be inevitable.
I am a current resident of Southport, CT. In my spare time, I enjoy bike riding with my wife Diana and my two kids. My other hobbies and interests include playing racquetball, traveling, and watching my kids play sports.
Compared to getting a new denture, partial, or having a traditional bridge made, dental implants are the only type of restoration that mimics the look and feel of natural teeth. As such, they've become the gold standard for tooth replacement treatments in modern dentistry.
Non-Invasive to Other Teeth - A traditional bridge calls for reshaping healthy virgin teeth on either side of the missing one, permanently altering their structure. Implants are stand-alone restorations that function independently of other teeth.
Enhance Your Facial Profile and Bone Anatomy - By design, implants trigger bone development in the area where they are placed. This permanently fuses the implant to the mouth and preserves natural bone height in the jaw, limiting the 'sunken' appearance usually seen after tooth loss.
