Dr. Tobey has been in private practice in the Philadelphia area since 1979. After graduating with honors from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in 1975, Dr. Tobey was given the honor of being selected to study in that institution’s highly selective post-doctoral graduate program. This experience gave Dr. Tobey three more years of education than the average dentist and the opportunity to receive advanced training in prosthodontics and periodontics. Because this additional training gave Dr. Tobey the ability to treat a broad range of general and cosmetic dental cases, including challenging cases that other dentists might have to refer out, he likes to think of himself as a “supergeneralist.”
Dr. Tobey has taught at the University of Pennsylvania for over 15 years. He has lectured in the U.S. and abroad on all aspects of advanced dentistry, including cosmetic dentistry, occlusion (misalignment), periodontology (treatment of the gums), implantology, and complete oral rehabilitation. Dr. Tobey is a member of more than a dozen dental associations and has held offices in many.
Dr. Tobey is also an award winning sculptor. He works mainly from the human form, producing wonderful pieces of art in clay, metal and stone.
