Gerald L. Herman, DMD
Dr. Gerald L. Herman, a board eligible prosthodontist, is a specialist in oral rehabilitation and occlusion utilizing crowns, bridges, dentures and implants for patients who are missing teeth or have advanced dental problems and esthetic concerns.
Dr. Herman is considered one of New York City's finest cosmetic dentists with expertise in all of the latest techniques in smile enhancement, porcelain bonding and teeth whitening. He also has attained advanced certification in Invisalign Orthodontics.
Dr. Herman combines the very best of conventional and holistic dental philosophies in his practice. Failing mercury amalgam fillings are replaced with tooth-colored composites or porcelain but never another mercury amalgam. Any metals used in the mouth are of the high noble or precious metal variety; never any base or non-precious metals. Our dental x-rays are computerized digital radiographs which provide immediate diagnostics and excellent images with 90% less radiation than conventional x-rays.
Dr. Herman graduated from New York University in 1977 with a BA in biology and psychology. He then completed one year of a master’s degree program in oral biology at Hofstra University. After earning his DMD degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in 1982, he spent two years in private general practice in Philadelphia. In 1984, he was accepted into the Advanced Education Program in Prosthodontics at New York University College of Dentistry. This prestigious program is internationally recognized for its dental academic excellence. He received his certificate in the specialty of prosthodontics in 1986.

He has published articles in various dental journals, and he has lectured at scientific meetings and at hospitals. He has made numerous television appearances to discuss topics in dentistry, and has contributed to several books in the areas of prevention of dental disease and cosmetic dentistry.
