Meet Our Dentists

Dr. Michael Buglione is a life-long resident of Vestal, NY.  After graduating from Vestal Central High School in 1975, Dr. Buglione attended the University of Rochester where he received a BS degree in Biology.  He then completed a post graduate education at Georgetown University before enrolling in the University of Buffalo School of Dental Medicine.  After graduating with a DDS degree in 1983, Dr. Mike returned to the community that gave him his start and early education. 

In 1983 Dr. Mike partnered with his father, Dr. Anthony Buglione, in his established dental practice to form Vestal Dental Associates.  Dentistry has always been Dr. Mike’s passion.  Early on, he realized that in order to provide the best care possible, it would require a commitment to continuing education.  His focus has been on cosmetic dentistry and prosthodontics ---creating personalized treatment plans for his patients and delivering them in the most gentle and caring way possible

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Buglione loves to travel and experience different cultures.  He enjoys outdoor activities and especially skiing and hiking, as well as landscape design.

Dr. Nolan Robinson was born and raised in the Southern Tier, and is proud to be serving our hometown community. He is a graduate of nearby Hobart College, where he earned his bachelor of science in chemistry and was a two-year captain for the football team. Dr. Robinson began his career in dentistry at the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, where he graduated magna cum laude and as a member of the OKU National Dental Honor Society. He then completed an Advanced General Dentistry Residency at The Ohio State University and remained in Columbus, Ohio with a private practice for over a year before returning to the Binghamton area.

Dr. Robinson believes in a comprehensive medical approach to achieving optimal dental health. He has a passion for implant dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and working with the latest advances in dental technology. As an advisor and guest lecturer, Dr. Robinson works with students and faculty at Binghamton University, specifically in the Biomedical Engineering Department, to develop technology and research initiatives to advance dental medicine. During his training in Buffalo, Dr. Robinson participated in research on dental implants and bone physiology, and continues to receive advanced training on implants and the utilization of digital dental technology to optimize surgical and restorative outcomes.  In addition, Dr. Robinson has advanced training in both sedation dentistry and pediatric dentistry through his residency program at The Ohio State University.

Outside of the practice Dr. Robinson loves spending time with his wife Megan, and his two children, Quinn and Grant. He is an avid golfer, enjoys hiking in the Adirondacks, and being around family and friends.
