Manoel Roberto P Macedo, D.D.S., M.S., Ph.D.

"During my career, I was involved in numerous complete oral rehabilitations whether or not there was a need for reestablishing the vertical dimension of occlusion. One of the major strengths of the residency training and throughout my career is to identify the patient’s needs, develop a treatment plan, and reproduce accurately in the patient’s mouth what was planned to solve their problem. The challenge of a complete oral reconstruction is always exciting for me because most of the time you have to mix and match different kinds of prosthesis, like fixed, implants, or removable restoration."

Biography

I have been practicing dentistry since I graduated in 2001. One of the greatest strengths of my operative dentistry programs, and the prosthodontics residency, is the opportunity to learn and apply cosmetic dentistry as a part of comprehensive treatment (crowns/caps, veneer, implant and removable prosthetics). Esthetic dentistry is becoming an increasing part of the dental curriculum and the application of esthetic to advance restorative cases is an educational challenge. I have been doing advanced restorative cases with an emphasis on esthetics and implants for the past nine years, and these are what I enjoy most as a clinician.
