For over a decade, Dr. Michael L. Schwartz has restored and rejuvenated smiles. He graduated with an undergraduate degree from Lehigh University before receiving his doctor of dental surgery degree from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry. He then went on to complete the Advanced General Dentistry residency program at The University of Maryland.
As a graduate of the Misch Institute of Implantology, Dr. Schwartz values postgraduate training. He pursues many courses each year to stay on top of the latest developments in dental procedures and technology. Dr. Schwartz attended the Nash Institute for Dental Learning, and he's a fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry and the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. He currently holds membership with the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
Dr. Schwartz firmly believes that to provide the best possible care for his patients, the very best and most caring dental professionals are required and they must form a cohesive team. He is immensely proud of the professionals that comprise his Catonsville dental team. We are positive you will find our care as warm and friendly as it is professional and thorough.
Michael Schwartz is a strong member of the Catonsville community and is proud to live here with his wife and her two children. When not tending to his patients, he enjoys spending time with his family and dogs and outdoor photography.
Like a caring family member, Dr. Michael L. Schwartz wants you to feel comfortable and at home at our office. A warm environment and welcoming team awaits you. Rest assured, Dr. Schwartz's training and technology will make your dental experience comfortable and rewarding.
Because of his emphasis on continuing education, Dr. Schwartz has countless tools at his fingertips. With intraoral cameras and X-rays, Dr. Schwartz will study the details of your teeth, gums, and bite to diagnose your situation. To show you what your smile could look like, and to analyze function, Dr. Schwartz may create a diagnostic wax up. For your comfort during clinical procedures, we may use the Wand. This computer delivers local anesthetic steadily during a procedure, so you can stay comfortable.
Many patients feel anxious before dental procedures. We'd hate for your dental experience to be anything less than a pleasure, so Dr. Schwartz offers oral sedation. With oral sedation, you will enter a state of relaxation and drowsiness that reduces or eliminates pain, anxiety, and stress.
Cosmetic bonding can be a viable, affordable alternative to porcelain veneers, but it lasts only 5 to 10 years with proper care. Bonding will not discolor as your natural tooth enamel will, so touch-up teeth whitening may be required to keep your natural teeth the same shade as the bonded area.
