Dr. Ianzano

My philosophy for treating patients is simple, I try to treat every patient as I would treat a member of my own family and I try to like every one of my patients as a person. Because of my background in teaching I try to educate my patients so they can make intelligent treatment decisions.

I started my own practice when I became a faculty member at New Jersey Dental School and have maintained a private practice continuously.

In 1975 I graduated from Stevens Institute of Technology with a Bachelors of Science and a Masters of Science degrees, with majors in both Physics and Chemistry. While at Stevens, I was awarded an UPTAM fellowship to investigate the effects of a liver tumor on cholesterol synthesis. Several papers were published from this research, and a new metabolic pathway was discovered. I continued with my PHD work at Stevens, funding my education by teaching Multivariate Calculus and Differential Equations at Stevens and continuing my research at New Jersey Medical School.

In 1976 I decided to go to dental school and started my dental education at Fairleigh Dickenson Dental School. I worked my way through dental school fixing the dental equipment and tutoring students in physics in the undergraduate division. I graduated in the top 10 in my class receiving the Removable Prosthodontis award. I continued my dental education at Indiana University School of Dentistry receiving a Masters of Science and Dentistry in 1983.s

I returned to New Jersey where I got a job as a research associate in the Department of Dental Materials at New Jersey Dental School.

Within a year, I was offered a faculty position and within 3 years became a Director of Dental Materials. I ultimately left New Jersey Dental School to become Director of Fixed Prosthodontics at Stony Brook Dental School.

During my academic career I have taught both Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. I have taught dental anatomy, dental materials and operative dentistry. I have published over 20 papers, contributed to four books and have lectured both nationally and internationally. I have been selected to be a reviewer for the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry as well as President of the local chapter of the American Association of Dental Research. I was one of the founding members of the Suffolk County Emergency Forensic Identification Team and was one of the forensic dentists for the TWA 800 crash.
