Dr Salvatore Lotardo

Dr. Salvatore Lotardo has been working on complex cosmetic cases for many years. He has extensive education and experience in orthodontics and implants. Dr. Lotardo recognized that cosmetic dentists have general apprehension towards using orthodontics in their practices, which hindered their cosmetic dentistry outcomes. This has led him to develop specific orthodontic techniques using braces, which could be quickly learned and applied by cosmetic dentists in-house. Dr. Lotardo created a comprehensive two-day hands-on course to teach such techniques to cosmetic dentists who want to take more control as well as lower the time and costs of their cosmetic procedures. Dr. Lotardo is an accredited member and the former 2020/2021 President of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. He is a member of the American Orthodontic Society and a graduate of Progressive Orthodontics. After obtaining his degree at The Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine, he opened three start up practices on Long Island focused on Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry. Dr Lotardo has published multiple articles and lectures internationally on Smile Design, Cosmetic Dentistry and Restorative Driven Orthodontics. With over 25 years of experience treating multidisciplinary cases, he has devised systems and modalities that allow general dentists to expand their knowledge base and skillset to ensure optimized outcomes for their patients.
