Following in the footsteps of his father (who practiced dentistry in Brooklyn, NY, for 38 years), Dr. Myles Spodak found the pursuit of a dental career to be a natural choice. After graduating from Fairleigh Dickenson University, he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree from Temple University.

Following dental school, Dr. Myles served his country as a Captain in the U.S. Army Dental Corps. Upon leaving military service, he returned home to New York City where he practiced for the next seven years. Endowed with a keen sense of adventure, he pulled up roots and moved his young family to Delray Beach, Florida, where in 1976 he founded the Spodak Dental Group.

As the town of Delray Beach grew, Dr. Myles’ practice grew with it.

Over the course of the next three decades, he and his wife, Arlene Spodak, cultivated a reputation of trusted care and commitment to the local community. Now, the same sense of adventure and drive for excellence that brought him to Delray Beach in the first place, has kept Spodak Dental Group on the leading edge of innovative dentistry.

Today, with fifty years of experience behind him, he enjoys practicing dentistry now more than ever, and also sharing his knowledge with the team of dentists. In his spare time, you’ll find him on the tennis court or doting over his four beautiful grandchildren.

A child of the heartland, Dr. Tiffany Dudley (formerly Dr. Peterson) graduated from Michigan State University and the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry. After finishing dental school, she moved to South Florida where she completed her General Practice Residency at the Veterans Hospital in Miami. There she served as Chief Resident until joining a practice in the Florida Keys.

Committed to the idea of comprehensive dental care, she was drawn to the visionary team approach to dentistry pioneered by the Spodak Dental Group and joined the team in 2009. Driven by a love for people and a deep sense of responsibility to serve those in need, she has committed herself to various charitable dental organizations, including the Give Kids A Smile program that provides free dental care to disadvantaged children.

She was awarded the 2014 Ken Ellingsworth Community Service Award from the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce and looks forward to continuing her efforts to make sure that community members have the dental care they need.

In her free time, she loves to run and can often be found participating in local fitness events and marathons, and also spends time with her husband Brian and their newborn son, Marc.

She has participated numerous times at Aesthetic Advantage at the Rosenthal Institute at New York University perfecting her skills in cosmetics.

Dr. Muir has developed a passion for cosmetic dentistry. She thrives from the increased confidence her patients get through an improved smile, and believes that comprehensive oral care should not only focus on a localized issue, but include a whole mouth view with long term solutions.

While in Costa Rica, she volunteered at Aldeas SOS and Las Escuelitas, providing dental care to children with special needs and to families with limited resources.

In her free time, she enjoys yoga and spending time with her husband James, her son Bruce, and her two dogs, Ollie and Livie.

Since then, he has fully immersed himself in the Spodak culture and participates in philanthropic events, including All-Star Smiles Day and Freedom Day.
