Meet Dr. Albert Kurpis

Dr. Kurpis received his doctorate degree from Columbia University, School of Dental Medicine, in 1974. Upon graduation, he was immediately asked back to Columbia to serve as a teacher of Prosthodontics while continuing his research on dental implants on primate baboons. His research on the influence of dental implant design on osseous tissue culminated in being granted a U.S. Patent for the ‘dental implant’ in 1988.

Over the past four decades Dr. Kurpis has published and lectured both nationally and internationally on the subjects of dental implants and full mouth reconstruction on the advanced deteriorated dentition. He was a founding member of the American Academy for Oral Systemic Health. He is a member of numerous dental organizations, most notably an Honored Fellow in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry where he served as a past president of its northeast section. He is also a Life Fellow of the prestigious Greater New York Academy of Prosthodontics.

Dr. Kurpis presently serves as the Clinical Director of the Oral Systemic Evaluation Center. Here he coordinates dental treatment for patients who may be at risk for complications prior to receiving advanced medical treatments and/or procedures. The Oral Systemic Evaluation Center is a cutting edge facility offering dental clearance not often found in the typical dental office.
