A Note from the Director

I received my dental and prosthodontic specialty training here at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry and it is a privilege to play a role in the educational process of so many young people who are pursuing their dream of becoming dentists.

I hope that you enjoy our Web site and if there are any questions, please contact me at bural@umich.edu.
