Dr. Bedard obtained his DMD degree from the Universite de Montreal in 1993. He then completed a GPR residency at Peninsula Hospital Center in New York, a residency in Prosthodontics at the Kansas City V.A. Medical Center, and a fellowship in Maxillofacial Prosthetics at the University of Chicago, after which he joined the faculty and taught for 4 years.

 

Since relocating in 2001, Dr. Bedard limits his full-time practice in Englewood, Colorado, to implant-retained & aesthetic, reconstructive dental and maxillofacial restorations. He is the founder of The Center for Dental Implant Excellence®, an advanced learning institute.
