Meet Dr. Blodgett

Our practice holds a worldwide status of being one of the most sought-after destinations for dental tourism. BDC’s uniqueness stems from both the respect it offers to its patients as individuals along with its artful fusion of biology and technology. Dr. Blodgett is committed to investing his energy to help all dental practices adopt biological practices and develop communication skills that respect the autonomy of the patient.

“If your dentistry is making you sick but your dentist won’t help because they think ‘there’s no evidence to prove it’, Dr. Blodgett can be your guide back to health.”

– Happy Patient
