About Jeffrey L. Katz, DDS
Dr. Katz grew up in New York State. He earned an undergraduate degree from the Ohio State University. Upon graduation he was accepted at Georgetown University School of Dentistry.

Desiring to be in private practice, he retired from his full time faculty position after 4 years and became an Associate of Dr. Phillip Corin. Dr. Corin became a friend and a mentor and introduced Dr. Katz to many of the fundamental concepts in dentistry that relate to full mouth rehabilitation and reconstruction. When Dr. Corin retired, Dr. Katz successfully transitioned as the primary provider and practice owner, carrying on the concepts and traditions that Dr. Corin spent much of his life developing.

When Dr Katz does find time outside of dentistry, he enjoys being with his family, his wife, daughter and friends. He enjoys skiing, swimming and hiking.

Dental emergencies happen. If a permanent tooth is knocked out, don’t delay. Call us immediately for an emergency visit. Re-implanting a tooth works best when done within 30 minutes. After two hours, the procedure is unlikely to be successful.
