The concept for The Centers for Clinical Oral Medicine was developed by Ted C. Bleckstein, DDS, MS in response to the expressed needs of restorative dentists to develop a method of clinical care which is designed to promote the delivery of unsurpassed comprehensive oral health care for the patients who visit their practices. The clinically applied science of Periodontics encompasses all fields of modern dental medicine and, when practiced with diligence, can assure both the doctor and the patient of successful restorative results. That’s why many dentists rely on Dr. Bleckstein’s guidance and experience. During his faculty appointment as Director of Northwestern University Dental School’s Advanced Continuing Education Programs, Dr. Ted Bleckstein had the unique opportunity to work with many of the finest dental clinicians in the United States, Canada and Europe.  Whether the patient requires extensive full mouth reconstruction including the reduction /elimination of TMJ problems or just a simple filling, the development of a healthy mouth is essential for long term patient health and success.   During his 7-year formal full-time training program at Northwestern University Dental School, Dr. Ted Bleckstein has received extensive education in all aspects of surgical periodontal, pre-prosthetic and restorative techniques in the treatment of the dentally complex patient.  One of Dr. Bleckstein’s most requested skills by general dentists is in the area of developing practice growth through optimizing hygiene production and practice efficiency through enhanced communication and expanded treatment options.

With over 20 years of clinical dental experience, practiced both in the United States and in Europe, Dr. Bleckstein is prepared to deliver the finest care in restorative and surgical dentistry to his patients and provide his colleagues with the most predictable approaches to achieving success with complex restorative care.
