Implant Dentist in Sarasota, FL 34237

Dr. Craig Misch gained early acceptance into dental school after only three years of undergraduate study at Michigan State University. He received his dental degree from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 1985, graduating Omicron Kappa Upsilon (top 5%). Thereafter, he practiced with his brother Dr. Carl Misch for three years at Michigan Implant Dentistry, one of the first dental practices in the country to focus on implant tooth replacement. Dr. Misch then decided to specialize and attended the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine where in 1990 he received his certificate in Prosthodontics. Prosthodontics is the dental specialty involving the replacement of missing teeth using biocompatible substitutes, such as implants. Dr. Misch then completed a fellowship in oral implantology at the University of Pittsburgh and in 1992 was awarded a Master of Dental Science degree for his research on dental implants. He was appointed Co-Director of the University of Pittsburgh Oral Implant Center and taught implant dentistry to the postdoctoral residents. An interest in jaw reconstructive surgery led him to enter a four year residency in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at St. Francis Medical Center and Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh. He completed his surgical training in 1999 and moved to practice in Florida.
