A Strong Foundation as a General Dentist
Dr. Kuzma began his practice with a very strong foundation as a general dentist, which is the best start when growing into cosmetic dentistry. He received his BA in Biology from Lafayette College.

After his DDS was complete, Dr. Kuzma began his career of service with a one-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency in the US Army. Upon completion of this residency, Dr. Kuzma served as a General Dentistry Officer at Fort Bragg, NC for three years.
Advanced Education as a Cosmetic Dentist
To be the best cosmetic dentist he could be, Dr. Kuzma sought out the best training available. He received training as a cosmetic dentist at the world-renowned LVI Global Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI), including a foundation in many crucial areas that support the practice of cosmetic dentistry, including neuromuscular dentistry, implant dentistry, and sleep apnea treatment. He joined the ranks of the elite cosmetic dentists who can call themselves LVI Fellows because they have completed the entire strenuous course of study.
Dr. Kuzma was also honored with a Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD), an honor bestowed on dentists who receive extensive postgraduate education. Dr. Kuzma has always been drawn to the leading edge of dentistry, and his continuing studies ensure his practice always remains at the forefront of dental medicine.
