 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.

 MEET DR. MARK BOGDAN
Dr. Mark Bogdan earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Fairfield University in Connecticut. He continued his education at the University of Maryland Dental School, graduating Magna Cum Laude and receiving his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree (DDS). Similar to his father, Dr. Bogdan received the honor of being selected into the prestigious national dental honor society, Omicron Kappa Upsilon. He then completed his residency in Orthodontics at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
Dr. Bogdan is board eligible through the American Board of Orthodontics. He is also a member of the American Association of Orthodontics, the American Dental Association and the New Jersey Association of Orthodontics.
Dr. Bogdan enjoys all aspects of the orthodontic profession, working with both children and adults. He feels extremely fortunate to be practicing in a time when the profession is experiencing a technological revolution, so to speak. With the advent of high-tech orthodontic wires and brackets, the focus of orthodontics has shifted to the face and creating beautiful smiles to fit the face. It’s exciting to go to work and know that you can improve a patient’s smile, facial features and often their self-esteem.
Aside from orthodontics, baseball season consumes much of Dr. Bogdan’s spare time. He enjoys following the entire baseball season, as well as attending Yankee Stadium to watch his favorite team win another World Series Championship. A large number of memorabilia can be seen when visiting the office. He also enjoys skiing and trying to learn how to keep the golf ball out of the woods!
In addition, Dr. Mark Bogdan,his wife Dr. Jaclyn Cardinale (D.M.D. in Bound Brook NJ), and son Justin will be welcoming a new addition to their family in January 2010.
