Dr. Cox has always loved the science of making things more beautiful. This is the main reason that he was drawn to dentistry, and it continues to be his favorite aspect of dental work.
Dr. Cox earned his DMD from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (now known as Rutgers University School of Dentistry). He went on to continue his education in the US Navy, completing a one year Advanced Education Residency in General Dentistry. During his residency in Norfolk, Virginia, Dr. Cox gained valuable clinical experience in all aspects of dentistry, including implants, sedation, root canals, and cosmetic dentistry.
Dr. Cox was awarded the FAGD (Fellowship of the Academy of General Dentistry), a prestigious designation achieved by only 6% of dentists, and he is one of the youngest dentists to receive this award. Dr. Cox worked in Westchester since 2008 and has maintained a thriving office in Scarsdale since 2011.
His dedication to Continuing Education and his proven passion for dentistry is what makes him a great choice for all of your dental health needs. When you come to Scarsdale Smiles, you can always rest assured that you are in good hands with Dr. Cox.
When he’s not at the office, you can find Dr. Cox spending time with his wife, three children, and his puppy. In his free time, he enjoys golf, bbqing, snowboarding, hiking, and anything that he can do out in nature.
