Dr. Edward M. Reifman, DDS
Dr. Edward M. Reifman is a native of Los Angeles, California. He received both his undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering and his M.S. in Biomedical Engineering shortly thereafter, both at UCLA. Dr. Reifman graduated Magna Cum Laude (high honors). For the next two years, he worked at Hughes Aircraft Co. in the mechanical design of the first communications satellites to encircle the Earth. These ‘artificial moons’ as they were called then, were the forerunners of our current crop of earth-orbiting satellites, which now bounce daily signals to earth for HDTV viewing, radio, skype, global satellite positioning (GPS), and the internet.

In 1974, Dr. Reifman applied to and was accepted to the UCLA School of Dentistry, where he matriculated with a DDS degree in 1978. He did a summer research project on the mechanics of chewing forces, and their effect on the TMJ (jaw joint). He also did important research on the longevity of various dental materials. Upon graduation, Dr. Reifman received an honorary fellowship where he worked for a world renown dental professor in Europe for six months. Upon returning to Los Angeles in 1979, he set up his current private practice in Encino, California.Dr. Reifman has been and is currently a member of the ADA, CDA, and the San Fernando Valley Dental Society.
