Morris Edelstein, D.D.S.
Dr. Edelstein grew up in the east-side Cleveland suburbs. After graduating from The Cleveland State University, he went on to receive his DDS degree at New York University University College of Dentistry. During his time at New York University College of Dentistry, Dr. Edelstein received multiple honors for academic excellence including the Dr. Edward G. Kaufman Award, the Dr. William S. Kramer Award, and induction into the OKU National Dental Honor Society.
After graduation, Dr. Edelstein returned to Cleveland where he practiced as a general dentist for 6 years. During this time, he had the opportunity to explore the full range of dental medicine and found a true excitement and innate skill for the surgical side. With the encouragement of Dr. Shapiro, who Dr. Edelstein had begun to refer his more complicated patients to, the decision was made to return to Boston University to complete a 4-year residency in the field of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
With his unique combination of prior work experience and understanding of occlusion and the restorative portion of dental implants, Dr. Edelstein was able to excel during his residency training program and further hone his skills. He served as chief resident in his final year of training and is certified in BLS, ACLS, ATLS, PALS, and CPR.
Dr. Edelstein is trained in the full scope of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with his main interests being simple and complex dental extractions, third molars (wisdom teeth) extraction, bone and soft tissue grafting, and dental implants. His training in IV sedation and local anesthesia allow him to treat patients in a safe and low stress environment.
Dr. Edelstein is excited to be back in Cleveland where he enjoys spending his time with his wife and two children exploring the amazing Cleveland Metroparks and getting their his hands on as much Mitchel’s ice cream as they can.
