Dr. Michael Stein is a graduate of Tufts School of Dental Medicine.
“I’ve been fortunate; not one day goes by where I don’t see multiple patients that I have been treating for over 30 years.
I have been blessed to practice general dentistry long enough to be treating my 3rd generation of families.”
When I’m not chairside or working to improve my office, I love to travel, especially adventure travel. I enjoy playing golf, tennis, and spending time with my family. My favorite sports team is the NY Yankees! My favorite procedures to perform are cosmetic procedures that can transform people’s lives.
The case that was most memorable to me was a patient who had been missing her lateral incisor her entire life. We restored the area with an implant which changed her smile and made her a much more confident person. She told me this one simple procedure had changed her entire outlook on life.
