Lip Repositioning / Gummy Smile Seminar

Paula and I had an enjoyable visit with our son and daughter-in-law recently while in Chapel Hill, NC.  I spoke at the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry on the subject of Lip Repositioning and management of a gummy smile.  It was enjoyable to share my novel technique of Reversible - Trial Lip Repositioning Surgery with a group of Oral Surgeons, Periodontists, and Prosthodontists. 

My next presentation on Lip Repositioning Surgery will be in Washington, DC at the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry Annual Session. 

Bryan and I are excited to see the next couple of issues of The Journal Of Periodontics And Restorative Dentistry.  Our article on Lip Repositioning has been accepted for publication there, and it will present a case series of patients I treated with my technique of the Reversible - Trial Lip Repositioning Surgery.

Proud Father and Mother

Last Saturday, Paula and I had the honor of attending a luncheon of the American College of Dentists in Boston at the Yankee Dental Congress Meeting. Our son Bryan Jacobs was presented with a distinguished student award for ethics and leadership in dentistry. The award was introduced by the Dean of Bryan's Harvard School of Dental Medicine, R. Bruce Donoff, DDS, MD.

In attendance were the deans of 4 dental schools, the president of the ACD, the executive director of the American Dental Association, past presidents of the ADA, among others.

Bryan has worked hard and persevered through the demands of dental school at Harvard. He has kept his sights on the goal of completing a quality education in dentistry. He is passionate about his profession and I know he will continue his lifelong quest for learning.

Bryan will soon be the fourth generation of dentists in our family. He will be the first Harvard grad. Paula and I are so proud of him - almost as much as we love him. His grandparents are so proud of him. All of his family, friends, cousins, neighbors, even Linda (soon to be Dr. Linda) are proud of him. What a great example. Way to go Bryan!
