Tom Gebeck, Jr. DDS MS

An orthodontist practicing in Birmingham, Michigan, Dr. Gebeck received his undergraduate degree from St. John’s University in Collegeville, MN, and graduated from the University of Michigan Dental School in 1993. He specialized in orthodontics and received his degree in 1995. Dr. Gebeck will coordinate the custom mouthguard fabrication, as well as offer the standard boil and bite product for those athletes who are not ready for the customized protection (baby teeth and braces).

Tom played hockey growing up in the city of Grosse Pointe and has great memories of those days. Years later, he now finds himself around the same local rinks with his children. Tom realized that the area needed a business to provide consistent skate sharpening with reasonable hours and found out another local hockey dad, Paul Boyer, had the same thoughts. In addition to skate maintenance, they knew the area could also benefit from training and skill development, and thus, Precision Blades was born. “I am proud to be a partner in Precision Blades and look forward to watching our local athletes benefit from the services we will provide.”
