Dr.
Dr. Michael has been practicing dentistry for almost 40 years in Warwick, where he was raised with his eight siblings. He graduated from the University of Vermont, where he received his bachelors, and Tufts University School of Dental Medicine for his doctorate. He has three great children, Rachel, Mia, David and a wonderful wife Maureen.
Dr. Michael and his family have loved living in Rhode Island. They grew up enjoying summers on his boat on the Bay and visiting Block Island, the Vineyard and Nantucket. He is grateful to have been able to give his children these wonderful Rhode Island memories. In his free time, he plays A LOT of golf, in Warwick in the summers and in South Carolina in the winters.
Dr. Michael feels blessed to have had an incredibly gratifying career thus far. After four decades of dentistry, he still enjoys going to work everyday just as much as the day he started. He is continuously investing in bettering himself and his practice. Over the years, he has attended countless continuing education courses at institutions including, but not limited to, L. D. Pankey Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, Dawson Center for Advanced Dental Studies, Seattle Institute for Advanced Dental Education, Spear Institute, and Cerec Academy. He has also held teaching positions at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, as a clinical instructor in Restorative Dentistry in 2000 and 2001, and is currently a Cerec Academy Mentor at the Spear Institute.
In addition to his extensive achievements in advanced dental education, Dr. Michael has always strived to stay current with the latest in dental technology. He has been nothing short of enthusiastic about the nuances digital dentistry has brought to the profession. In 2015, he brought CAD/CAM intra-oral scanning technology (CEREC) into the office and began practicing in-office digital restorative dentistry. In 2020, he brought the Itero intra-oral scanner to the practice to expedite Invisalign treatment. In the near future, he plans to bring a Cone Beam CAT (CBCT) scanner into the practice so he can provide surgical implant procedures to his patients.
With the future of the practice always on his mind, Dr. Michael was thrilled to have his daughter, Dr. Mia, join him in 2018. They have enjoyed working together in Warwick and are excited to continue to grow in Rhode Island. As of 2020, they have opened a second location in Wakefield, RI and look forward to serving the patients of South County.
