The practice's foundation rests on Dr. Beshar's extensive educational background and unwavering commitment to professional development. After completing his undergraduate studies at Michigan State University and earning his Doctorate of Medical Dentistry from Fairleigh Dickinson School of Dentistry, Dr. Beshar served as a General Practice Resident at Loma Linda University in California. Recognizing early in his career that mastery in dentistry required continuous advanced training, he invested a decade completing weeklong courses at the prestigious L.D. Pankey Institute for Advanced Dental Education, an internationally renowned postgraduate institution. His dedication to excellence was recognized in 1990 when he received a Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (F.A.G.D.), an honor reserved for practitioners committed to ongoing dental education.
Dr. Beshar's credentials extend across multiple specialized training programs. He completed the Aesthetic Dentistry Residency at Louisiana State University, the Dawson Master's Forum in Florida, and all eight levels of the Kois Center for Restorative Excellence in Seattle, Washington—earning the title of Clinical Instructor with Honors. His implant dentistry training is particularly comprehensive, including extensive coursework at the New York University Implant Training Center, the Misch International Implant Institute under Dr. Carl Misch, the Ickert Dental Implant Centre, and the Kois Institute under Dr. John Kois. He has also completed specialized training in bone grafting and computer-generated technology for implant placement.
Beyond clinical practice, Dr. Beshar has established himself as an educator and thought leader in dentistry. He was invited to return to the L.D. Pankey Institute as visiting faculty, where he now teaches other dentists contemporary restorative and cosmetic dental procedures. His professional achievements have garnered significant media recognition, with features in The New York Times, Inc. Magazine, Newsweek, and Working Woman. Notably, early in his career, Dr. Beshar was featured on the cover of Inc.
