Skilled Dentist in Hackensack, NJ

Few children know exactly what they want to be as adults, and I was no exception. Although I found all areas of healthcare fascinating, it wasn't until I shadowed different professions at our local hospital that I decided to become a Dentist. The dental department gave me a glimpse of several different aspects of dentistry and I was excited at the possibility of doing something that gave a profound and immediate change to patients' function and esthetics all while improving oral health. As a woman in healthcare, I appreciated the flexibility dentistry could provide with building a family. There was just one problem with that idea, I didn't know I would fall in love with my career. Fast forward 10 years after graduation and I still wake up everyday excited and grateful to serve my patients.

Completing my residency in a trauma 2 level hospital gave me the unique experience to help treat several facial traumas that would require precise and meticulous suturing. Although none of this is seen in private practice, it did leave me with a desire to explore ways to integrate overall facial esthetics to comprehensive oral health. And we are achieving just that. By applying products such as Botox and dermal fillers to our practice, we are able to complement your treatment to meet all your dental needs.

However nothing can replace proper communication and patient education. It is my sincere mission to foster an environment where a patient can feel comfortable asking any questions and where they can truly learn about their oral health so we can work together as a team. The trust that my patients have bestowed upon me throughout the years is not taken for granted and as you read this I hope you will want to make Smiles by Pinto your new dental home.
