Glenn Abrahmsohn, L.D.S., R.C.S., (Eng.)

Born in 1951 in Johannesburg, South Africa and educated in London, Glenn graduated cum laude as Dental Surgeon at Guys Hospital in 1976.

In 1979, Glenn moved to Miami with his pregnant wife Jo, expecting their son Brett, and his daughter Samantha, to complete his specialty training in Oromaxillofacial surgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital.

In 1983, Glenn fell in love with the Island of Key Biscayne and found it an ideal place to open the doors of The Dental Connection. Glenn's advanced training allowed him to offer exceptional service in cosmetics, implantology and family dentistry. The small office soon became an incubator for the research and development of revolutionary technology, including a reversal to anesthesia with a painkilling agent and an anti-microbial solution which he hopes will have long lasting benefits for mankind.

Although Glenn was thrilled to be recognized by the ASDA for excellence in cosmetic dentistry, his greatest achievements have been working with the loving support of the Key Biscayne community and his loyal patients...including the Seaquarium's own Lolita, the Killer Whale!

Glenn was most humbled in 2009 when the local newspaper, The Islander News, honored him as “Key Biscayner of the Year” for helping to save a young man's life in Bill Baggs State Park . He has been a Lion's Club member for 23 years. In 2011 the Key Biscayne Lion's Club awarded him the Melvin Jones Fellow award “Humanitarian of the Year”  He has been a feature at Key Biscayne Elementary School's “career day” for kids, a Yacht Club member, former Fleet Surgeon and the co-organizer of Key Biscayne’s annual holiday Flotilla Boat Parade.

Glenn credits his wonderful wife Jo, mother Zena and daughter, Samantha, for being his inspiration and thanks his fellow Key Biscayners for their camaraderie and friendship.
