New Hyde Park, New York, United States
As a dentist with more than 30 years experience I have managed and treated countless oral conditions ranging from simple fillings to root canals, gum surgeries, extractions of teeth, dentures, complex crowns/bridges, implants and full mouth reconstruction. I enjoy dentistry immensely and continue to push myself to learn new procedures and techniques as the field evolves. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with me whether you are a student thinking about dentistry, dental student, fellow dentist, physician, patient or just someone who is plain curious about a particular topic. I am active on social media and you can follow me or contact me anytime if you have questions! www.landldental.com www.facebook.com/LandLdental www.mylongislanddentist.blogspot.com www.twitter.com/frankliudds
