Meet Dr. Gross:
Richard Gross, DDS graduated from Ohio State University in 1985. He continues to educate himself in the latest dental technology. Although Dr. Gross practices all aspects of family dentistry, he specializes in laser dentistry.

And, when a new technology is truly ready for the marketplace, he is eager to introduce it to his patients.
Dr. Gross resides in Solon along with his wife, Simone, and three children. "I see my patients in the grocery store, golf with them, and socialize with them.
