Dr. Ari Forgosh graduated with honors from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. In recognition of his academic excellence, the faculty inducted him into Omicron Kappa Upsilon, dentistry’s most prestigious honor society. After completing his residency at Lehigh Valley Hospital, he then accepted a position at one of Massachusetts’ top dental practices. There, for five years, he worked alongside two exceptional dentists who further refined his precision and attention to detail.
In 2005, however, Dr. Forgosh chose to return to his hometown in the Lehigh Valley and opened Green Hills Family & Cosmetic Dentistry. From the beginning, he built the practice on a vision of comprehensive, patient-centered care. Two years later, he invited his friend and mentor, Dr. Karl Glassman, D.D.S., to join the team. Together, they merged their offices and, as a result, preserved the Lehigh Valley’s oldest restorative dental practice when Dr. Glassman retired in 2012.
Training and Special Interests
In addition to his clinical experience, Dr. Forgosh completed advanced training at the world-renowned Dawson Academy.. There, he focused on occlusal disease, esthetic dentistry, and complex dental problems. Subsequently, he traveled to Manhattan each month to lead the Dawson Academy Study Club of New York, where he mentored dentists from across the Mid-Atlantic. He also serves as a Dawson Academy Ambassador at conferences and courses throughout the year. Notably, the Academy selected him for these roles from among tens of thousands of dentists worldwide—an exceptional honor.
Although he values mentoring other dentists, Dr. Forgosh ultimately feels most at home caring for his patients. In every interaction, he treats patients of all ages with a gentle, patient, and attentive approach. As a result, even the most anxious patients feel comfortable and confident in their care.
Outside the office, Dr. Forgosh enjoys cycling, skiing, and traveling. He spends his free time sharing these activities with his wife and son.
