| BIOGRAPHY |
| DR. STEVEN T. CURRY |


| Dr. Steven Curry, a native of Harrison County, graduated magna cum laude from West Virginia University with a B.A. in Chemistry. As an undergraduate student at WVU, he was honored with membership in Phi Beta Kappa for superior academic achievement. Three years later, he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) degree from WVU. Before establishing his private practice, Dr. Curry served as Dental Clinic Director/Clinician of the Mineral County Health Department. While there, he assessed and treated economically disadvantaged children of that county and supervised undergraduate dental students on clinical rotation from West Virginia University's School of Dentistry. As Director at Mineral County, Dr. Curry's major goal was the provision of high quality, compassionate dental care for the underprivileged children of that area. Beginning with his experiences in Mineral County, Dr. Curry recognized that a large percentage of people are fearful of dentists and dental offices. He saw a need within the community for gentler methods of care, so anxious patients can become more comfortable, calm and relaxed during their dental appointments. After opening his own practice in Harrison County, he began developing a mode of patient care aimed at decreasing patient fearfulness. Having committed long hours to continuing education over the years, Dr. Curry offers a range of comprehensive professional services to his patients. His interest in innovative dental procedures prompted him to begin inventing dental instruments. In addition to his private practice, he is currently an adjunct professor working with the West Virginia University's School of Dentistry in Morgantown, WV. There, he partners with WVU and WVU's Research Corporation (WVURC) developing new dental and medical instruments and devices. |
