Ground was broken in May for a new office for Salvatore Dental in Malta.
The business has been in Malta for 25 years. Six years ago, Richard Salvatore’s father sold it to Salvatore and his wife, Dr. Vera Popova Salvatore, who also works in the business.
Encompassing 93,000 square feet, the building is designed to be two stories with 11 treatment rooms and an all-glass waiting room. It will be located on Dunning Street.
“Everything is 3D, state-of-the-art technology, including a 3D milling machine, 3D printer and high-tech computer,” Salvatore said.
The existing building is part of a Methodist Church from the 1800s. Salvatore said he plans to preserve part of the foundation for history’s sake.
Salvatore is a third-generation dentist, coming from a long line that includes his father, grandfather, and an aunt and uncle. He and his wife, also a dentist, engage in continuing education related to their field—traveling often.
