Meet Dr. Epstein

One is truly lucky when he loves what he does. Dr. Epstein's vocation is also his avocation. A day in the office is as good as a day fishing or playing golf. His love and passion for orthodontics bring him great joy and pride in the creation of beautiful smiles. His pursuit of excellence in orthodontics has led him to his program of early intervention and interceptive treatment. He uses a dentofacial orthopedic approach to influence the growth and development of the teeth, jaw and surrounding structures. Your beautiful, confident smile will illuminate your harmonious, well-proportioned face. Great orthodontics requires more that just straightening teeth. Dr. Burton I. Epstein graduated magna cum laude from New York University, where he received his BA. He earned his DDS from New York University College of Dentistry and continued on to his postgraduate residency in orthodontics, also at New York University. Dr. Epstein has been certified as a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics since 1978. He was a captain in the U.S. Army Dental Corps for two years. He is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, College of Diplomates of the American Board of Orthodontics, Northeastern Society of Orthodontists, New York State Society of Orthodontists, American Dental Association, Dental Society of the State of New York, Suffolk County Dental Society, World Federation of Orthodontists and New York University College of Dentistry Orthodontic Society. Dr. Epstein is a charter member in founding of the College of Diplomates of the American Board of Orthodontics, a fellow of the World Federation of Orthodontists and has been elected to Omicron Kappa Upsilon (Honorary Dental Society of Academic Excellence). He handles transfer cases from all parts of the country and utilizes many different appliances where indicated, e.g., ceramic braces and fixed and removable braces. He is certified as an Invisalign Preferred Provider. He has done extensive work in temporomandibular joint diseases, dentofacial orthopedics and orthognathic surgical cases. His practice is limited to orthodontic treatment for adults and children. His office features an observation program and early interceptive and preventative orthodontic treatment. Dr. Epstein grew up and lived in New York City, but now lives in Huntington with his wife, Elaine, who is a speech language pathologist. They have three married children and six grandchildren. Dr. Epstein is a rapid walking enthusiast and enjoys both travel and photography.
