Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent, natural-looking solutions for missing teeth. Our team uses titanium posts anchored in the jawbone to restore function and prevent bone loss. The process includes CBCT scanning for precise placement, osseointegration for stability, and custom crowns for aesthetics. Patients benefit from improved comfort, durability, and facial structure preservation through this advanced restorative treatment.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers discreet orthodontic treatment using custom thermoplastic aligners. This solution gradually straightens teeth without metal brackets, allowing removable wear for eating and cleaning. 3D imaging maps treatment progress, ensuring predictable results for issues like crowding and spacing. Patients enjoy fewer office visits and a comfortable, aesthetic alternative to traditional braces for achieving aligned smiles.
Laser Dentistry
Laser technology enables precise treatment of soft and hard tissues with reduced discomfort. Applications include gum contouring, cavity removal, and periodontal therapy. The focused energy minimizes bleeding, promotes faster healing, and often eliminates the need for anesthesia. This innovative approach enhances outcomes for procedures like tissue sculpting and decay treatment while improving patient comfort.
Oral Surgery
Our oral surgery services address complex dental conditions using advanced techniques. Procedures include wisdom teeth extraction, corrective jaw surgery, and implant placement. State-of-the-art diagnostics ensure accurate treatment planning, while minimally invasive methods prioritize patient comfort. The team focuses on restoring function and aesthetics through precise surgical interventions tailored to individual anatomical needs.
Routine Cleanings
Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup to maintain oral health. Our hygienists use specialized tools to clean hard-to-reach areas, reducing gum disease risk. Personalized education on hygiene practices complements each session, while customized plans address specific patient needs. These visits serve as foundational care for preventing decay and ensuring long-term dental wellness through proactive maintenance.

Report
Worst dental facility I have been. Provides you with a very misleading information and tries to add extras in attempt to rip more money off you. Charged me over $900 for basic cleaning service (no dental work what-so-ever). I had been asking them to send a copy of the EOB for over a year and yet no response.

Dr. Tara and her staff are amazing. It is so wonderful to see a female ran and operated dentist office in the area. Will definitely be recommending to my family and friends!

I have been going to this dentist for many years and I always look forward to going back! I grew up in Waldwick and have since moved, but I still make the 45-min drive since I refuse to switch dentists. I always have great chats with the hygienists and staff, and Dr Aversa is so funny. He always explains exactly what is going on in my x rays and what needs to be done. I have gone here for both necessary and cosmetic dental work and would recommend for both.

Even for a cleaning, they are fully committed to excellent service. The hygienist makes double sure that everything planned is covered by insurance. She's reviewed my treatment plan and works towards it. Dr. Aversa doesn't just stop in he fully discussed the next 6 months of treatment.
