Dr. Dori Lang Columbus, D.D.S.
A Strong Foundation of Knowledge
"McGill University is very well regarded, and I chose to go there because I wanted the best possible education. Later, I chose the University of Maryland for the same reason. And I believe that
shows in the quality of care I provide."
Bachelor of Science from McGill University
D.D.S. from University of Maryland at Baltimore
Advanced Studies
"Advances in dentistry are coming at a faster rate than at any other time in history. Ailments that just a few years ago would have meant losing a tooth can be treated today. My postgraduate studies make sure that I can offer these advances to you."
Over 30 hours postgraduate study annually, in topics such as:
- Crown and bridge dentures
- Partials
- Porcelain inlays (and onlays)
- Tooth whitening
- Implant dentistry
- Adhesives in dentistry
- Bonding agents
- Modern resin systems
- Special emphasis on dentistry for children
Networking with Other Professionals
" A membership in a professional organization is another tool I can use to make sure you're getting the most up-to-date care. By networking with others in my field (and related fields), I can offer you more than one dentist's point of view. Instead, I can offer you
the combined knowledge of thousands."
Member: American Dental Association, New Hampshire Dental Association,Nashua Dental Society, Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honor Society, Gorgas Dental Honor Society "I went into dentistry because I love it; especially working with my patients. Technical knowledge just isn't enough. It's what the patient feels that really counts."
Dr. Joseph V. Columbus, D.D.S.
A Powerful Education is an important starting point for any dentist.
I was lucky enough to learn from some of the best instructors in the
country, at two different universities."
Undergraduate studies at Washington and Jefferson College, 1984
D.D.S. from University of Maryland Dental School, 1998
Extra Training
"My education didn't stop when I graduated. Each year, new and better techniques for cosmetic and
restorative dentistry (and stronger materials) are developed. I owe it to each of my patients to keep up with every advance."
Over 30 hours of postgraduate study annually, in topics such as:
- Crown and bridge
- Dentures and partials
- Porcelain inlays (and onlays)
- Tooth whitening
- Implant dentistry
- Adhesives in dentistry
- Bonding agents
- Modern resin systems
Active in the Profession
"I think professional memberships are a vital part of dentistry. When you join one of these organizations, you agree to hold yourself to higher standards than the government requires, and that means better care for our patients. Plus, when we meet, we can share ideas and
develop more effective ways to give you a healthy smile."
Member: American Dental Association, New Hampshire Dental Association,Nashua Dental Society, Gorgas Dental Honor Society, Member Advanced General Dental Society
"Over the years I've spent studying and practicing dentistry, I've tried to make my patients feel at ease. That means answering all of their questions, explaining everything I'm doing, and making friends. I think it's the best way to provide care."
