Dr. Calder

I grew up in Liverpool NY, which is a suburb of Syracuse. I attended the State University of New York at Buffalo where I majored in cell-molecular biology and earned my bachelors degree in 1982, graduating cum laude. I went on to attend the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine and graduated in 1986, earning a DDS. I completed a one-year general practice residency in Port Jefferson, NY at St. Charles Hospital, where the emphasis was treatment of the handicapped and special-needs patient. From there, I moved to Westchester County and eventually purchased a practice in Rockland County in September 1989, where I practiced for 25 years. I also began providing mobile dental services to nursing home and long-term-care facilities as Porto-Dent. I joined Rockland Dentist January 2019.

My special interests in dentistry are conservative adhesive-based dentistry, aesthetic dentistry including the use of Invisalign, Smile makeovers using minimally invasive porcelain veneers, and the treatment of Migraines, bite disorders and grinding using the NTI-TSS night appliance. I also treat sleep related breathing disorders with oral appliances when CPAP is not tolerated well.
