Jump to Personal Statement
Dr. Toback received his Bachelor of Science from St. John’s University (magna cum laude) in 1991, and his Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the University of Connecticut in 1995 (Award for Excellence in Restorative and Prosthetic Dentistry). Following completion of his dental degree, Dr. Toback pursued advanced training in periodontics and dental implants at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. In 1998, Dr. Toback returned to Connecticut to begin private practice with Shoreline Periodontics.
In addition to private practice, Dr. Toback enjoys teaching others about his passion of periodontics.  He was an appointed faculty at UCONN School of Dental Medicine from 1998 – 2007. As an assistant clinical professor during that time, he spent one day per week providing clinical and lecture instruction to dental students and periodontal residents. He now returns to UCONN as a guest lecturer and instructor as his …schedule permits.   Dr. Toback frequently lectures on a variety of surgical topics at dental meetings, to dental societies, hygienist societies and dental study clubs.  Most recently, Dr. Toback has lectured extensively on computer guided implant surgery, and the use of three-dimensional imaging in diagnostic planning.
Dr. Toback has authored papers in major periodontal and dental implant journals. In addition, he holds a certificate and license to provide services in conscious sedation. Treating patients with anxiety and apprehension holds special interest for Dr. Toback. He is the only periodontist in eastern Connecticut licensed to provide these services. He has advanced training in medical emergencies and holds a certificate in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS).
Dr. Toback is a diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology. He is also a member of the American Academy of Periodontology, Academy of Osseointegration, American Dental Association, Connecticut Dental Society, Connecticut Society of Periodontics, and New London County Dental Society.
In 2006, Dr. Toback was invited to join the S.C.P.P. (Society for Contemporary and Progressive Periodontists). This select group of 12 leading periodontists from across the nation was developed to provide objective evaluation of new research and technology. In addition, the S.C.P.P. developed customized computer software that will allow the 12 members to combine clinical research data on dental implants and bone regeneration, in a way never before possible.
Personal Statement:
I’d like to welcome you to our website and thank you for your interest in our practice. Since 1998, I’ve taken great pride in our office, my staff and the premier level of quality care we provide our patients.
I grew up in New York, on Long Island, attending St. John’s University on a tuba scholarship. While enrolled in the School of Pharmacy, my girlfriend and future wife, was working for a dentist and she encouraged me to explore a future in dentistry. I soon realized that dentistry provided me with the perfect opportunity to merge my love for science with the artistic/creative side of my personality.
Jenine and I were married while I was in dental school at UCONN. We then moved to San Antonio for three years while I trained at the University of Texas, in the surgical specialty of Periodontics and Dental Implantology. We have fond memories of barbecue, enchiladas and the start of our family.
In 1998, we made a decision to make southeastern Connecticut our home, and I began practice at Shoreline Periodontics in New London. We immediately felt at home and knew that it was the perfect place to raise our family. I enjoyed getting to know all of my patients, and the small-town feel of our quiet corner of the state.
Jenine and I are very proud of our three wonderful children; Austin, Ashley and Ethan. I enjoy spending as much time with them as possible when not in the office. We love to ski together as a family in the winter, taking the drive north to Vermont whenever possible. We also love spending time on the wat
