Dr Miguel A. Ortiz

Dr. Miguel A. Ortiz began working in the dental industry as a dental technician in 2002 after graduating from one of the only two-year ADA accredited programs in California. During the next eight years he both worked and studied full-time in Los Angeles, receiving a B.S. in Biochemistry with Honors from California State University. He was recruited to Harvard School of Dental Medicine, where he won the Leo Talkoy Award for excellence in clinical dentistry and his Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry, (DMD). While over 95% of dentists decide to end their training there, Dr. Ortiz went on to become a prosthodontist at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He completed a full-time three-year dental specialization where he was educated extensively on everything that has to do with prosthetics involving the mouth. As a prosthodontist, Dr. Ortiz has been specially trained and has mastered the art of cosmetic and esthetic dentistry, smile design, digital dentistry, veneers, all bridge work, crowns, implants, and full mouth rehabilitations. After a number of years working with a mentor at a clinic in Brookline, MA, Dr. Miguel A. Ortiz decided that he wanted to create a special dental environment in Wayland, MA at the clinic formerly owned by his good friend Dr. Courtney Lavigne. Lit Dental Esthetics & Implant Center in Wayland, MA is a beautiful clinic that Dr. Ortiz runs together with his wife Colleen Ortiz and an amazing team of highly-trained hygienists and dental assistants.
