For nearly 40 years, I practiced dentistry as the first doctor in Hamlin, NY. I feel blessed for working in the same town with wonderful people, patients, and staff for so long. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your support, friendship, and allowing me to care for you and your families. Your loyalty is truly humbling, and forever appreciated.
I am proud of my accomplishments during this time, especially of my role in adding fluoride to our public water supply to prevent tooth decay. I also participated in one of the first five dental implant study groups in the country. Recently, I received the first installation of Dentsply/Sirona’s 3D medical grade printer in the USA. I use this printer to develop models, as well as print night guards, temporary crowns, and surgical stents for implant dentistry. Soon, we will even be able to print permanent crowns right here in the office!
At this time, I am excited to announce Dr. Nicholas Garcia will be taking over my practice. Some of you may already be familiar with him. We spent the past three years working together, and I found we have the same philosophies of care and patient treatment. I am confident he will continue to offer that same great level of care, while also using technology that few other offices in this country have.
But don’t worry, you aren’t rid of me yet! I am not ready to formally retire, but I will be slowing down. I will continue to treat patients 2 days each week, as well as lecture, teach, and spend more time with my growing family. Dr. Garcia will now be in the office full-time in order to take care of all your dental needs.

“I am extremely privileged to have the opportunity to continue what Dr. Lang has built. Working next to Dr. Lang for the past 3 years has been incredible. I am forever grateful. I love this town and will maintain the high standards set and exceeded by him for so many years. I look forward to this next chapter, and am excited to continue to meet the wonderful people that make up this community.”
