Since graduating from Tufts University in 1977, Dr. Edward Feinberg has been on a mission to help patients and improve the profession of Dentistry. A practicing dentist in Peoria, Arizona, he is the successor to a tradition established in 1948 by his father, Dr. Elliot Feinberg–a renowned expert, teacher and author in the field of crown and bridgework, precision attachment partial dentures and implant restorations. The principles and techniques of this tradition are documented in a growing collection of more than 100,000 slides of cases that date back to 1950. Dr. Feinberg’s foremost mission is to provide patient care according to these principles. A second mission is to share these principles with other practitioners through seminars, publications, the internet, and the Online World Academy of Restorative Dentistry (www.theonwardprogram.com), which he directs.
