“Seeing patients smile with confidence at their improved appearance and dental health is what gives me the most satisfaction from practicing dentistry,” said Dr. Alti. “I want my patients to know that I’ll do my utmost to make their experience as comfortable and pain free as possible. I’m a chicken when it comes to pain, so I know how they feel!” Dr. Alti received his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Temple University School of Dentistry. Dr. Alti’s love of building models outside of work makes the intricacy of dentistry closer to his heart.
Outside of work, Dr. Alti’s interests include swing dancing, racquet ball, and, of course, model building.
