Brett Z. Godlewski, D.M.D

My name is Brett Godlewski I’am a specialist in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. With board certification by the National Dental Board of Anesthesiology and a Fellowship in the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology. I am very involved with not only the surgical aspects of our specialty but also the art of sedation practices which are of the utmost importance in my practice.

 My friends and patients call me “Dr. Brett”.

I was born and raised in West Virginia, coming from a small town I understand that spending time with each individual patient is satisfying not only for them but also for the entire clinical procedure. After graduating high school I attended the University of Pittsburgh for an undergraduate degree majoring in Biopsychology. I continued on at the University of Pittsburgh school of dental medicine and received my DMD degree in 2006. Following dental school I completed a General Practice Residency focused on Oral Surgery at the University of Louisville. Here I became very interested in all aspects of surgical care and spent much time with the residents taking call and assisting operating room procedures. I was now sure this was what I wanted to specialize in and make a career of. I then completed an internship at St. Vincent’s Catholic Medical Center in Queens, NY. Here I was trained in multiple facets of oral surgery and covered facial trauma call at hospitals in Queens, the Bronx and Brooklyn. From here I continued with the program which merged to be Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. I was trained under multiple excellent surgeons in Brooklyn and Queens including Dr. Vito Cardo the head of the department and a phenomenal oral surgeon and teacher. My residency consisted of the full scope of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery including intense facial trauma procedures, corrective jaw surgery, preprosthetic surgery, dental implants, TMJ treatment and reconstructive surgery. Here I was also highly trained in the administration of general anesthesia and also in office deep sedation. I graduated from Brookdale Medical Center as chief resident in 2012. I’am interested in wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, head and neck pathology and in office sedation techniques from nitrous oxide to deep sedation. Keeping my patients well informed and establishing a close relationship is not only my goal but the only way I wish to practice. I’am very excited about providing the best care possible at our Providence road location and I look forward to meeting you.
