Highly respected, regarded, and well-loved by students, patients and peers, Dr. Tuminelli is a Council Member and a Past President of the Greater New York Academy of Prosthodontics. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Prosthodontics. After Hurricane Sandy struck last year, Dr. Tuminelli volunteered to help the American Red Cross provide dentures to patients in need. When travel for a patient proved difficult, he worked with fellow prosthodontist Dr. Louis DeSantis of Staten Island to assist. Prevention.com featured Dr. Tuminelli in its "8 Signs You Might Need Dentures."
"As a prosthodontist, we are trained to evaluate the entire mouth. We look at things that may indicate a disease. Patients who have a chipped, cracked or missing front tooth that needs to perfectly match the other front tooth in color, shape and size go to a prosthodontist," said Dr. Tuminelli. "We use the highest quality of materials with the latest technology so that our patients will be happy with the end result."
Like medicine, dentistry has taken incredible leaps forward in the past decade. Prosthodontists are at the forefront of this innovation by applying their advanced training and commitment to life-long learning of new materials as well as using state-of-the-art digital dentistry tools to help patients save time, visits and expenses. Prosthodontists apply advanced training to help improve patient outcomes for beautiful specialized dentistry, optimal oral health and improved patient outcomes. Patients are opting to go to a prosthodontist.
Prosthodontists are specialized dentists with advanced training in oral health issues and cosmetic dentistry procedures. Prosthodontists are committed to improving patient outcomes. From implants, crowns, veneers and tooth whitening, to full-mouth reconstruction, prosthodontists specialize in digital dentistry techniques featured in the Wall Street Journal's "Are No-Wait Crowns Worth the No Wait?" and the New York Times.
The ACP is the only prosthodontic specialty organization whose membership is based solely on education credentials. ACP members must be in or have completed an ADA-accredited advanced education program in prosthodontics.
The American College of Prosthodontists is the professional association of dentists with advanced specialty training dedicated to optimal oral health both in function and appearance including dental implants, crowns, veneers, dentures, and teeth whitening.
