Dr. Dan Caban

Dr. Dan grew up on Long Island but was first introduced to the Capital District when he attended Siena College for his undergraduate degree.  After Siena he worked at Albany Medical College in research and went on to attend Temple University School of Dentistry where he received his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree. After dental school, he completed two residency programs. A one-year general dentistry residency at Woodhull Medical Center during which he realized that he wanted to pursue working with kids and special needs patient. He went on to complete a two-year pediatric dental residency program at Maimonides Medical Center &Kings County Medical Center, both in Brooklyn, NY.  After residency he moved back to the Albany area which he always felt was the place he wanted to start his career. Dr. Dan is a Diplomate and Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist with the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.

Dr. Dan currently resides in Troy, NY where he enjoys spending time with his wife and family, working on a never-ending list of projects and short lived hobbies, and trying to figure out how to get his family from Long Island to visit more so they can bring him bagels.  Oh, and he loves bagels…..A LOT!!!!
