I wish I could give 10 Stars! I usually don't like to recommend dentist or doctors but I highly recommend Affiliated Periodontist.. Dr. Kumar is so good. He not only had to remove a failed implant placed by someone else, who should have never tried to put it where there was so little bone, but he also had to extract two teeth, do two bone grafts, and insert another implant. After this procedure there was no swelling at all. There was just a little soreness for a couple of days and all healed perfectly. If you are considering getting implants you should feel confident about Dr Kumar and his staff. I'm just amazed at how perfect it all went.

Dr. Akshay Kumar is wonderful, but for me the best part of going here is getting a cleaning from Diane Katz the dental hygienist. She gives the best and most thorough cleaning I've ever had.

Affiliated Periodontists is not only the best office but the ONLY office I would go for tooth extractions/consultations. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. I was awoken at 3AM with throbbing molar pain. I called the office and they were able to squeeze me in at 10:45AM. Dr. Akshay Kumar and Magdalena worked tirelessly to ensure I was comfortable and pain free. When my day comes for implants I will again entrust this office to take care of my dental requirements and maintenance. 6-Stars Review.

I have to say that Affiliated Periodontists and Dr Jaffin are the only ones I would go to for dental implants. I have had quite a lot of work done and they have made the experience a very pleasant and painless one. Dr. Jaffin is clearly the best at what he does and makes you feel very comfortable! Most Important, my work turned out perfectly and there was never a problem! The staff is very ,very nice and friendly! I recommend them highly and will only go back to Dr. Jaffin for any future dental needs!!

* I lost a few teeth despite $pending a lot of money on fillings, root canals, and bridges. * What followed was researching dental implants, consulting a dentist, listening to friends' word-of-mouth, and getting recommended to Dr. Kumar. * I was so pleased from the first consultation. Dr. Kumar was very clear, thorough, and informative, and I left fully confident to go forward ... and invest in myself ... because ... I hope to live forever. * The actual surgery was a cakewalk. Implants and bone graft completed within an hour or so, and I returned to work immediately afterward. Healing required only a few days. The complete process took three months with short follow-up visits to assess the fusion of bone and implant. * Now, my life has returned to good chewing. And I believe I was gifted a makeover with my restored natural smile. This life-satisfying investment allows my day to go the way the corners of my mouth turn. * So, if you're looking for the best, reach out to Dr. Kumar. You will be so happy w/the long-lasting results. Diane P.

I've been a patient of Dr. Jaffin for over 3 years. He has placed 6 upper implants for a complete upper reconstruction as well as 1 lower and I couldn't be more pleased with the ease of the procedure and the outcome. His expertise and thoroughness for both short and long term care are unparalleled. The care and compassion of his entire team are amazing.

Dr. Robert Jaffin has got to be the best periodontist in New Jersey if not the world. He is professional, keeps up with the latest in his field, and caring. I travel 2hrs to his office and would not think of going to anyone else. Bella the hygentist is wonderful and the staff (especially Lois) are wonderful to work with.
