Dr. Dornbush can honestly say he has walked in his patient’s shoes. He knows exactly what his patient’s experience is with Restorative Dental Care, and it gives him that unique perspective on what goes through a patient’s mind when deciding to undergo a restorative procedure. He truly has “been there, done that, and got the smile to prove it!”
Skill and compassion go hand in hand in Dr. Dornbush’s approach to dentistry. For more than 25 years, he has helped patients restore comfort, function, and confidence through precise, detail-driven restorative and esthetic care.
Dr. Dornbush understands exactly what it feels like to be in the patient’s chair—he’s truly “been there, done that, and has the smile to prove it.” That experience gives him a unique perspective on what patients feel when they’re considering restorative treatment, and it’s why he and his team focus on delivering care that’s both technically excellent and personally reassuring.
After earning his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from New York University College of Dentistry, with concentrations in complete dental prosthodontics and gnathological principles, Dr. Dornbush continued to refine his skills under Dr. Gerald Kramer in the Periodontal Prosthesis Program in Boston. Over the years, he has shared his expertise as a mentor and educator—teaching at the Institute for Advanced Dental Studies and lecturing nationally and internationally for 3i (Implant Innovations, Inc.).
Dr. Dornbush has published articles on interdisciplinary implant treatment, conducted hands-on courses across the U.S. and Europe, and developed innovative techniques such as the “Gold Occlusal Provisional Restoration”—a transitional method that allows patients to move from a failing dentition to an implant-supported restoration without ever wearing a removable denture.
Whether performing a single crown, full-mouth reconstruction, or implant restoration, Dr. Dornbush brings an artistic eye and uncompromising attention to detail to every case. His philosophy is simple: address the issue thoroughly, restore beauty and function, and make sure the patient never has to worry about it again.
