Dr. Michael Louis Cherubini

Michael L. Cherubini, DDS, MS I love what I do, and always give my best efforts for each and every patient. My goal is to make my office a family style practice that places patient care at the top of the priority list. Education/Experience: In order to become an orthodontist, I attained the following certificates of education: The Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA: Bachelor of Arts 1993 Creighton University Medical Center, Omaha, NE: Doctor of Dental Surgery 2000 Graduated Summa Cum Laude and class Valedictorian University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY: Certificate of Specialization in Orthodontics 2003 University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY: Master of Science in Orthodontics 2004 Continuing Education I believe my patients deserve the best care available, so that is why I focus on the latest advances in orthodontics like Invisalign, implants, and surgical aesthetic approaches as well as the newest digital technology. The courses I take as well as my previous engineering background allow me to solve complicated orthodontic treatment problems to achieve beautiful results for my patients. I also concentrate on advances in pediatric dentistry. This allows me to help my younger patients with conservative treatments of guided tooth eruption as well as facial and smile development. In the Practice Orthodontics is unique in the sense that I can develop a closer relationship with my patients and their family because of their time in treatment. I really feel blessed to have the opportunity to watch my patients personalities grow and develop as their smiles change. This is truly rewarding for everyone and we learn so much about each other.
