About Olga Kandov, DMD
While growing up, Dr. Kandov’s grandmother was an Otolaryngologist, which is the fancy term for an ear, nose, and throat doctor. Her childhood years involved being around a lot of doctors (including dentists) who came over to her house and had very passionate exchanges of ideas that often led to heated debates. Her grandmother would always joke “two dentists – three opinions!” While Dr. Kandov knew she wanted to become a doctor early on, it wasn’t until she was introduced to several studies about implant dentistry and full mouth restorations during one of those heated debates at her grandmother’s that the dental field sparked her interest. She found the topic fascinating and shadowed several dentists who provided those services, quickly falling in love. Her path was determined at that point, and she couldn’t be happier about where she is now! After completing her undergraduate degree at Temple University, Dr. Kandov entered into the Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry at the same college to pursue her Doctor of Dental Medicine. She graduated Summa Cum Laude in the top 2% of her class and earned several scholarships and honors during her college years, including The Omicron Kappa Upsilon Fraternity Award. As for continuing education, Dr. Kandov has completed a great deal of advanced training through the world-renowned Misch Implant Institute regarding dental implant placement, CBCT treatment planning, socket grafting, and other crucial topics related to implantology. She has achieved Fellowship status with the International Dental Implant Association (IDIA) and been awarded for Distinguished Implant Excellence. She is a current member of the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Facial Esthetics, and the Eckert Dental Study Club. Dr. Kandov and her husband were high school sweethearts and have known each other for over 30 years now. They have two wonderful daughters named Elizabeth and Victoria, both of whom have numerous achievements in math, chess, piano, and swimming. When she isn’t busy caring for patients, her hobbies include hanging out with her loved ones and traveling as much as possible. As a former ballet dancer, she never misses Boris Eifman’s Ballet when they perform in New York City. She also has a strong passion for France, French history, Paris, and French cinematography!
