Dr. Michael Petrillo, DMD

The Pacific Aesthetic Continuum and The Dawson Seminars in St. Petersburg, Florida are renowned post-graduate programs that provided Dr. Michael A. Petrillo with specialized hands-on training in cosmetic dentistry. While incorporating smile design cosmetic procedures and Full Mouth Aesthetic Reconstruction into his practice, he has accrued over 250 hours of continuing education. Due to his training in California with the same dental professionals shown on ABC’s Extreme Makeover, he is qualified to provide Smile Makeovers. At the renowned Las Vegas Institute for Exceptional Dentistry in Las Vegas, he and his dental team have completed advanced training in Aesthetic Full Mouth Reconstruction. Only 650 dentists worldwide have received the Las Vegas Institute’s certification; Dr. Petrillo is one of them.

He is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine and served in the US Air Force where he was chosen for a six month rotation post-grad program receiving advanced training for surgery and periodontics. He is a member of the American Dental Association, American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, Academy of General Dentistry, Pennsylvania Dental Association, and The Lehigh Valley Dental Society.

Some may wonder how does all this training benefit the patient who wants a Smile Design and Makeover? It enables the Dentist:

• To know how to shape, lengthen, lighten, and straighten teeth to achieve the perfect natural looking smile
• To know what materials to use that will be cosmetically superior as well as very durable
• To have access to some of the finest aesthetics labs in the country
• To develop an eye for beauty and have the ability to make the artificial look natural
• To increase his experience in customizing a smile for each individual

Dr. Petrillo believes that improving his patient’s smiles through conservative, cosmetic dental techniques has a positive impact on the overall appearance and self-confidence of his patients. A healthy smile impacts all aspects of one’s life — social, professional and romantic.

Dr. Petrillo created and still serves as the CEO of Lehigh Valley Smile Designs, which is based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. His vision and leadership continue to have an impact on the way the group delivers dental care. The core principles of providing exceptional patient care, thorough and kind dentistry, and assisting patients in developing beautiful, healthy smiles are shared by every member of the team. This makes sure that patients are content with their treatment. Dr. Patrick Petrillo, the treating dentist, enjoys helping us achieve our objective.
