November 26, 2014 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • Page 15 Midland Family Dental is technologically advanced Dr. Fred Puccio, DDS One year ago, Dr. Fred Puccio, DDS opened the doors of his state-of-the-art dental facility in his hometown of Wyckoff. It was the culmination of hard work, and a dream to serve the community he calls home. “I am so proud of this new venture, and being able to treat patients in my hometown is espe- cially gratifying,” Dr. Puccio said. Midland Family Dental is noth- ing like the dental office of the past. From the family-style home that houses the facility, designed by Puccio, to the cutting-edge technology in every room, the facility is a one-stop shop for all dental needs. “We incorporate the services of specialists at our locations,” Puccio added. “Our patients spend the least amount of time in the chair because of all of the technol- ogy we have on the premises.” What would normally require a patient to coordinate multiple visits to the dentist, or additional visits to multiple offices, can be accomplished at Midland Family Dental in one visit. Puccio brings together the comfort of a neighborhood family dentist experience with the advan- tage of high tech dentistry. He believes in staying ahead of the curve when it comes to the latest technology and complex proce- dures. He has brought all of his knowledge and expertise to his practice and contin- ues to bring cutting-edge innovation to his practice. “Our mission has always been to blend the latest dental technology and art to create beautiful, natural, healthy smiles,” he explained. Puccio is a firm believer in sharing his knowledge and has started to set up pro- fessional learning communities where he can meet with colleagues and share best practices. He also continues to develop his craft and share his knowledge by teaching at New York University College of Den- tistry as a clinical instructor in the Honors Restorative Clinic. Puccio hopes that a mix of hometown and high-tech will be the key to bringing smiles to his patients. Midland Family Dental is located at 243 Morse Avenue in Wyckoff.
