Dr. David Paulussen and the members of our team are dedicated to serving our community with advanced treatments and comprehensive education.

Dr. Paulussen has served as President and Treasurer of the R.V. Tucker Cast Gold Study Club of New Jersey. The study club consists of a group of dentists with the collective goal of perfecting the placement of advanced cast gold restorations. They meet eight weekends a year to work hands-on with a selective group of patients.
Dr. Paulussen is a Master in the Academy of General Dentistry. He attained his Mastership Status by first obtaining his fellowship degree, and then over 1,100 hours of continuing education in the 16 disciplines of dentistry. The Mastership Award is the highest honor available in the AGD and only three percent of the dentists in the AGD in the United States and Canada obtain it. By becoming a Master, Dr. Paulussen has made a commitment to offering his patients a better variety of diagnosis and treatment choices and he will continue to attend continuing education classes to maintain this edge on his professional excellence.
Dr. Paulussen routinely takes hundreds of hours of continuing education yearly. His dedication to the dental profession is not only fulfilling to himself, but he is also able to bring the most advanced and highest quality dentistry to his patients.

He and his family love to enjoy the Jersey Shore at Beach Haven as well as sailing and kayaking in the bay. He enjoys watching his children's sporting and musical events. His hobbies include woodworking, home projects, collecting antique toy soldiers, and sailing.
After a short career as a pharmaceutical chemist in Princeton, New Jersey, he found his calling in dentistry. He graduated among the top of his class from Rutgers School of Dental Medicine (formerly UMDNJ), where he received numerous academic and clinical distinctions and was awarded membership to the dental honor societies Omicron Kappa Upsilon and Gamma Pi Delta. Dr. Keon completed a General Practice Residency at Morristown Medical Center.
He holds memberships in the American Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, New Jersey Dental Association, and Mercer County Dental Society. He performs a full range of dental services with an emphasis on quality of care and compassion.
After dental school, Dr. Novak attended the rigorous and highly regarded residency at Morristown Medical Center. His experience at the #1 hospital in New Jersey allowed him to expand his dental training by completing advanced oral surgery procedures, dental implants, pediatric dentistry and comprehensive full mouth rehabilitation.
Dr. Novak focuses on education, innovation and advancing his skills so he may give the best and most up to date treatment to his patients. Recently, he trained in the field of dental implants by studying under the renowned Dr. Dennis Tarnow and the Columbia University Dental Implant Continuum. He is a dedicated member of the American Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, New Jersey Dental Association and Tri-County Dental Society.
CEREC technology also involves the use of an in-house milling unit. This is the machine that creates your crown. The crown is cut out of a block of ceramic that we place into the machine after it receives the information from the crown we designed.

I have a dreadful fear of the dentist but Dr Paulussen and his staff have never hurt me or made me feel afraid. They even cover me with a warm blanket during my visits. Super cautious and professional during this COVID crisis. They're the best!

If possible I would like to leave zero stars. He had to put on a crown three separate times and it is still not right. The first time he sent me out in pain and when I called his office the staff said it will get better, it never did, finally I went back in and he did it for the second time and told me three other popes in his office had the same issue. IT IS A DENTIST ISSUE!!! BEWARE!!

I broke a tooth and called to make an appointment , I was seen that day. Everyone was professional and friendly, always concerned about my comfort. Never thought I would say "it was a pleasure going to the dentist" however it was.

Dr Paulussen and his entire staff are not only wonderful human beings they are top notch in their field. I have been going to Dr p for many years, he has taken on some new Dr.s and I have seen both of them as well, excellent care. They all hygienists included deserve 10 stars. These Dr.s care bottom line.

The entire staff here is amazing! I really REALLY hate when people try to stick sharp objects in or near my mouth/teeth/gums, but I actually look forward to cleanings here. I also don't have dental insurance and they are extremely reasonably priced.

Dr Paulussen and his staff have provided perfect care for my 3 children and me for several years. They are cheerful, professional, thorough, state-of-the-art, trustworthy, and truly caring. Between the 4 of us, we've presented some dental challenges and the advice and care has been consistently excellent. I'm even kind of a coward about going to the dentist, but since going to Dr P, I have started to relax, knowing I'll receive the best and kindest of care.
