William Wilcko, D.M.D., M.S.
My professional goals are two-fold: to always provide my patients with excellent orthodontic care, based on their unique needs, and to be a leader and innovator in the field of orthodontics. In my more than 30 years of practicing, I believe I have achieved both.
For my patients, I spend time getting to know them as individuals, discussing what they hope to get out of their treatment. Based on those conversations, and clinical findings, I then design a plan for their individual requirements. I love the challenge that each new patient brings to me, and even more, I love that I am able to improve their confidence, self-esteem and quality of life. Hearing patient stories of how their new and improved smile has made a positive impact in their lives is extremely rewarding.
Education and Commitment to Continuing Education
- Undergraduate, Allegheny College
- Doctorate of Dental Medicine, University of Pittsburgh, School of Dental Medicine
- Orthodontic Residence, West Virginia University, Department of Orthodontics
In addition to lectures I deliver, I also actively pursue continuing education courses in oral healthcare. Doing so allows me to learn about the most current and up-to-date technologies and treatment processes and procedures, which in turn allows me to provide my patients with proven treatments.
I am currently an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Orthodontics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. Previously, I was a consultant to the Periodontics Department at the Naval Postgraduate Dental School in Bethesda, MD and an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Orthodontics at Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine.
