Dr. Peter Auster strives for his seminars to be “uplifting, inspiring, and educational” – as a recent testimonial summarized. The latest technology, materials, and techniques are combined in a free moving, collaborative day, where audience participation is embraced and videos, hands-on, and the tailored needs of the particular audience are honored.

Dr. Auster continues thirty-five years of cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry in his private practice in Pomona, N.Y. He has lectured from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon and he speaks internationally as well.

Dr. Auster has written dozens of articles for major dental publications.

He is a Fellow of the International College of Dentists and the American College of Dentists.

Dr. Auster has spent 12 years in leadership positions at the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), including the 2022 chair of their Professional Education Committee.
