Specializing in general dentistry, Dr. Stern has been helping people eat in comfort and smile with confidence for over 30 years. At his family-friendly dental practice in Southfield, Michigan, he remains dedicated to providing the best dentistry in a caring, relaxing environment. He and his staff believe that treating the mouth as a whole is essential to improving patients’ quality of life.

Born in New York City, Dr. Stern attended City University, where he was part of Phi Beta Kappa and obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree where he graduated cum laude with honors in biology. He then went on to earn his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the New York University School of Dentistry in 1977.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. A general dentist is a primary care dental provider. They diagnose, treat, and manage patients’ overall oral health care needs, including gum care, root canals, fillings, crowns, veneers, bridges, and preventive education.
