Dr. Stephen Wallace is a 1971 graduate of Boston University School of Graduate Dentistry with a Certificate in Periodontics. He has been on the faculty of the New York University Department of Implant Dentistry for 14 years attaining the academic rank of Associate Professor. He is a Diplomat of the International Congress of Oral Implantology and a Fellow of the Academy of Osseointegration.

Dr. Wallace’s time at New York University is divided between clinical teaching and human clinical and histologic research. He has helped develop the world’s largest data base on sinus augmentation surgery. He has performed research studies on products from the world’s leading manufacturers of implants and bone regenerative materials.

Dr. Wallace lectures at home and abroad on issues relating to dental implantology and periodontics. He is the author of an evidence-based review of the sinus augmentation procedure published in the Annals of Periodontology as well over 25 journal articles and textbook chapters. He is co-editor of a text book on sinus elevation surgery recently published in Italy. In addition to his faculty appointment, Dr. Wallace maintains a practice for Periodontics, bone regeneration and implant dentistry in Waterbury, CT.

Dr. Wallace lives in Cheshire, CT with his wife, Bonnie and his cat, Alley. His son, Eric, is an oral surgeon in Santa Barbara, CA and his daughter is an attorney living in Martha’s Vineyard.
