Dr. Gregory Guth

Dr. Gregory Guth brings a unique blend of artistic sensibility, scientific rigor, and genuine care to James M Blake, DDS, PC, where he joined the team in December 2024. As the newest member of the practice, Dr. Guth shares Dr. Blake's commitment to providing exceptional dental care while bringing his own fresh perspective and enthusiasm to the Hamburg community.

Born and raised in Western New York, Dr. Guth comes from a distinguished family of healthcare professionals. As the son of prominent area physicians, Dr. Kenneth Guth, MD, and Dr. Carol Cooley-Guth, MD, he was exposed to the healing arts from an early age. This family influence would eventually guide him toward his own calling in healthcare, though his path to dentistry was anything but conventional.

Educational Journey

Dr. Guth's educational background reflects his diverse interests and talents. He attended Canisius High School in Buffalo before pursuing higher education at SUNY Geneseo, where he studied Piano and English, earning his Bachelor of Arts in English. His passion for learning led him to continue his studies at SUNY Buffalo, where he earned his Master's degree in Biology.

With healthcare beckoning, influenced in part by his physician parents, Dr. Guth took a pivotal step in 2015 by beginning work as a dental assistant. Within just two weeks of this experience, he discovered his true calling. The combination of artistry, science, and patient care inherent in dentistry captivated him completely, and he knew he had found his career path.

Committed to this new direction, Dr. Guth returned to school and attended SUNY Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, graduating with his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) in 2023. He further honed his skills by completing his general practice residency training at Erie County Medical Center (ECMC), ensuring he was well-prepared to provide comprehensive dental care.

Dr. Guth maintains active membership in several prestigious dental organizations, including the American Dental Association, the New York State Dental Association, and the Eighth District Dental Society. These affiliations reflect his commitment to staying current with the latest developments in dental science and maintaining the highest professional standards.

Beyond Dentistry

Dr. Guth's interests extend well beyond the dental office, showcasing a well-rounded personality that enriches both his personal life and professional practice. His musical talents are particularly noteworthy. He has served as a church organist for over 20 years, bringing joy and spiritual enrichment to his congregation through his musical ministry.

When not practicing dentistry or playing music, Dr. Guth enjoys working on cars, a hobby that allows him to apply his technical skills in a different arena. 

One of Dr. Guth's most distinctive hobbies dates back to 2008, when he learned the art of homemade winemaking from his father. This skill has become a cherished tradition and serious pursuit. In his most productive year, he bottled an impressive 12 cases of wine. This passion for winemaking reflects his attention to detail, patience, and appreciation for traditional crafts, qualities that serve him well in his dental practice.

Dr. Guth is excited to build relationships with patients in the Hamburg community and provide the high-quality dental care that James M Blake, DDS, PC is known for. His combination of technical expertise, artistic sensibility, and genuine care for patient well-being makes him a valuable addition to the practice team.
