During the past 25 years, I have been honored to develop a personal relationship with each of my patients and their families. It is very rewarding to use my artistic and clinical expertise to create healthy teeth with beautiful smiles. It is an honor and a privilege to know that I am directly helping people in my community. I take that responsibility seriously and work hard to give each patient the very best dental treatments available today.

I am a native of Central New Jersey and currently reside in Basking Ridge with my wife, our three children and our family dog. When Im not spending quality time with my family, I enjoy playing tennis and golf. I previously served as an assistant coach of the Basking Ridge Little League for nine years. I am also an active member and volunteer at St. James Catholic Church.

Being a dentist allows me to directly help people improve their health, happiness, and general well-being. Specializing in periodontics and dental implant surgery is intellectually stimulating, but even more so I get great satisfaction from knowing Ive helped someone improve their dental function or given them the beautiful smile theyve always wanted.

As a member of the American Academy of Periodontology, I have completed hundreds of hours of continuing education courses to ensure I am profoundly knowledgeable of the most recent innovations in the fields of periodontology and dental implantology. My patients deserve the very best care, and it is my goal to exceed their expectations at every turn.

Our office has the friendliest environment Ive ever encountered in a dental setting. We truly want our patients to feel as comfortable as possible when theyre with us. Dr. Kellam is one of the most highly skilled practitioners Ive ever had the pleasure to work with. We have a wonderful team approach to our practice, with our wonderful staff and doctors working together to ensure the best treatment outcomes and experience for our patients.

We feel strongly in addressing the causes of disease and dental health problems rather than just the treatment of symptoms. We believe that our level of preventive dentistry and expertise can stabilize and improve our patients oral health and aesthetics for a lifetime.

We prefer to take a comprehensive and patient-friendly approach to everything we do. We believe that education is extremely important to disease prevention and health maintenance. It is our goal to ensure each patient fully understands all aspects of their oral health, as well as the benefits and drawbacks of each treatment method available. Each patient we see is an important and special individual. We take time during each visit to make sure our patients needs are not only heard but understood as well.

We work very hard to take a comprehensive approach to the dental care we provide our patients. Not many patients understand just how destructive grinding (bruxism) and having an unstable bite (malocclusion) can be to their teeth, jaw muscles, and temporomandibular joint.

There are so many negative side effects of malocclusion such as fractured teeth, loose or mobile teeth, shifting and crowding of the teeth, gum recession, and fractures to existing crowns. By accommodating the TMJ and balancing a patients bite prior to beginning restorative treatment or Invisalign, the restorations and teeth will not only be more comfortable, but will last much longer as well.
