Dr. Frank A Bogdan, DDS

MEET DR. FRANK BOGDAN
Dr. Bogdan graduated from Mt. St. Mary’s College in 1970 where he received a B.S. degree in Biology. He pursued his dental education at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, being awarded his Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) in 1973 and Certificate in Orthodontics in 1976. During his last year of specialty training he served as a Teaching Associate, giving lectures in orthodontics to undergraduate dental students. Currently, he is president of the UMDNJ Orthodontic Alumni Society, a post at which he has been serving since 1997. Dr. Bogdan has guest lectured at the University since 2001 and joined the part-time faculty in 2003.
Orthodontics and teaching have always been his passion. He has done lectures for Orthodontic Societies, Study Groups, and Universities across the United States, Mexico, and Europe. The one and two day presentations on the ‘Damon System’ and advancements in jaw orthopedics have been well received. In addition, he …heads up the regional Damon study group of Orthodontists utilizing this state-of-the-art treatment system.
Dr. Bogdan is an avid skier and enjoys playing most sports including softball, golf and soccer. He coached his children for many years in the Bayonne Youth Soccer Association and obtained both a coaching and referee license. Besides his wife, family, and orthodontics, his next greatest passion is baseball. Whether it is radio, television or at the stadium you would be hard pressed to find a more avid Yankee fan. Scattered throughout the office you’ll find Yankee, Met and other baseball memorabilia as evidence of that passion.
Finally, one of his greatest joys is having his son Dr. Mark Bogdan join him in private practice.
