Dr. Joe Maltsberger
|
Dr. Joe Maltsberger has been a serious student of dentistry since he was a junior at Pawnee High School. After graduating from Oklahoma State University with a degree in Physiology, he moved on to the OU College of Dentistry, where he graduated with honors. For 27 years, Dr. Joe has studied and traveled extensively to develop a cutting-edge, cosmetically oriented dental practice. In 1982 and '83 Dr. Joe traveled to Dallas for training in straight wire orthodontics. He has since trained in many more advanced dental courses. His advanced training has helped Dr. Joe to develop a dental philosophy based on excellent service, high quality care and exceeding expectations.
Dr. Joe's latest passion is guided implant placement. This technique was developed in Sweden and is now being used world wide. Thanks to a proper balance of technology, experience, and focus, this cutting-edge treatment is making major quality of life improvements for our patients.
Traveling, working with his church, and involvement with different community activities are some of Dr. Joe’s main interests. He loves working with kids and spending time with his family. Dr. Maltsberger is a member of the American Dental Association, the American Orthodontic Society, and the Oklahoma Dental Association, which recently honored him with the prestigious Thomas Jefferson Citizenship Award. Dr. Joe is an alumnus of the Pride Institute, is a Life Fellow of the J. Dean Robertson Society (of which he was a past board member), and he has an ongoing affiliation with The Seattle Institute for Advanced Dental Education.
