After graduation, Dr. Skerpan was the first female to attend and graduate with a certificate from the two-year General-Dental-Residency at the Brookdale Hospital and Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. Brookdale's medically-based program was known for being one of the most rigorous, strict and diverse dental residencies in the country. She was one of 200 applicants to this high-powered program, with only 5 dental graduates accepted to train under the hospital's dental department-head world-renowned dental implantologist, Dr. Norman Cranin. ** This advanced dental education and heavy medical background gave Dr. Skerpan a wide exposure to a broader and more diverse set of dental experiences. But more importantly, such a background expanded her ability to offer a varied wide-range of comprehensive dental services. *** (See Dental Services) |
** Dr. Skerpan's 2 year dental-hospital program included assigned routine patient
appointments in the hospital dental clinic, 24 hour hospital emergency-room call, admissions for all necessary & elective oral-surgery cases---as well as responsibility for in-hospital dental emergencies & oral-care for in-hospital cancer patients. *** From Dr. Skerpan's extensive training and dedicated years in practice, her strength is rooted in a combination of skills, as well as in comprehending the restoration and maintenance of a balanced healthy dental-environment. Also her background has served to increase her sensitivity to the oral-body/dental-medical connections. |
Procedures offered include everything from the simplest cleanings & fillings, to toothache relief & cosmetic dentistry with smile makeovers---from periodontal disease therapy & periodontal treatments, to extractions & surgeries---from root canals & crowns, to replacement of teeth with bridges, partials, dentures and implant restorations.
