Dr. Robert Sachs, DDS - Chief Operating Officer of FTG Imaging

Dr. Robert Sachs, DDS

Chief Operating Officer, Freedom Technologies Group

Dr. Robert Sachs brings over 42 years of clinical and business expertise in general dentistry, having led Sachs Family Dentistry in Dearborn, Michigan—a practice originally founded by his father, Dr. Mischa Sachs, in 1953. A proud University of Michigan graduate (BS and DDS), Dr. Sachs has long been recognized as an early adopter of advanced dental technologies.

In the early 2000's, Dr. Sachs began integrating cutting-edge imaging and practice management solutions into his workflow. Under his leadership, the practice has grown by 65% in the past 7 years, in part due to strategic acquisitions and an unyielding focus on modernization.

Dr. Sachs is also the designer of the Zero Profile™ Holders, an innovative positioning system for the DC-Air™ Wireless sensor that enhances patient comfort and optimizes image positioning.

Third Generation Leadership: 10 years ago, he was joined in practice by his son, Dr. Evan Sachs, proudly supporting the third generation of family dentistry. As Chief Operating Officer of FTG Imaging, Dr. Sachs continues to bridge the gap between clinical practice and innovative technology development.
