A native of Newark, Dr. John Carollo has lived in New Jersey his entire life. He received his Bachelor of Arts from Rutgers University and his Doctor of Dental Medicine from University of Medicine and Dentis-try of New Jersey., (Now Rutgers Dental School). He has maintained his current practice in Florham Park since 1985. For more than 30 years Dr. Carollo has built an impeccable reputation in the community.
Throughout the dental profession, Dr. Carollo is a respected author, lecturer and peer. Dr. Carollo has presented over 300 lectures on Dental Implants, Cosmetic Dentistry and Dental Sleep Medicine. He has helped thousands of dentists learn about the latest clinical techniques both nationally and internationally. In addition, he has written more than 20 articles that have been published in a variety of dental journals. At the same time, he actively searches for opportunities to expand his knowledge and to learn from others.
Away from the practice, Dr. Carollo stays busy. He is very proud to be the Official Team Dentist of the New York Jets since 2006. In addition, he is a NJ Top Dentist since 2005, Dr. Carollo enjoys spending time golfing and with his family at the NJ Shore. He is married with two daughters and is an avid photographer.

Every member of his staff shares his commitment to be responsive to the individual needs of each patient. We value your time, and we believe your healthy smile is our #1 priority. From the first phone call to our office and on each and every visit you will experience the warm and compassion from everyone in our office.
We believe dental care should be comprehensive, courteous and responsive, and every patient is treated in a friendly, reliable and efficient manner. We want you to look forward to coming to the dentist.
As effective as they are, traditional dental implants may not be a possibility for some patients -- especially if the teeth have gone without replacement for an extended period of time. If you are missing all of your teeth in the upper or lower jaw, if you have been told you are not a good candidate for traditional dental implants, or if you are on the brink of total tooth loss, it is time for you to learn about All-on-4 dental implants in Florham Park. Dr. John A. Carollo provides this option, also known as Teeth In a Day, to help eligible patients enjoy all the benefits of a long-lasting, comprehensive tooth replacement.
Many adults are missing teeth. In fact, the majority of Americans over the age of 35 have lost at least one tooth -- and almost 28 percent of people over the age of 65 are missing all of their teeth. If total tooth loss has happened to you, you may have thought that seeking a traditional denture was a sufficient solution. Dentures look more or less natural and function well enough, after all. But if you are like most of our patients, you will soon find your dentures slipping around when they shouldnt, or that you just cant eat everything you like without your natural teeth. But we encourage you not to give up! Its definitely not too late to enjoy the benefits of a complete, natural-looking smile that functions just like it should. After total tooth loss, All-on-4 dental implants from Dr. Carollo or Dr. Sufian provide a wonderful solution.
To understand just how All-on-4 dental implants work, it is important to know something about traditional dental implants. Tiny titanium posts inserted below the gum line, they are a comprehensive tooth replacement that gives you back the missing crown, or the visible portion that helps you chew and speak, as well as its supportive root. When cared for properly, dental implants can be expected to last for a lifetime. Non-implant supported dentures or fixed bridges will require replacement or refitting as time passes and the jawbone gradually diminishes.
By replacing the supportive root structure, dental implants provide the most natural-looking and properly-functioning tooth replacement available today. Bone tissue needs stimulation and plenty of blood flow to thrive, and after the loss of the natural teeths roots, the dental implants provide this activity for the jawbone. Patients who have had their teeth replaced with dental implants are likely to retain their youthful appearance -- non-implant retained denture wearers, on the other hand, are sure to experience the aged, sunken look we often associate with tooth loss.
Without a properly-fitting tooth replacement, patients are also more likely to suffer from painful oral sores. Aside from being uncomfortable, these persistent sore spots are linked to infection and oral cancer. And meanwhile, sufferers of ill-fitting dentures have to deal with the stress and potential embarrassment of a prosthetic that moves around or falls out at inopportune moments.
All-on-4 dental implants offer a faster route to dental implants than is possible with the traditional method. The solution is only possible for fully edentulous patients, or those who have lost all of their teeth. All-on-4 dental implants are also known as Teeth In a Day for their ability to be restored very soon after placement, usually within 24 hours of the initial procedure. Compare that time-to-teeth to traditional dental implants -- which can leave patients waiting for up to a year -- and its clear that one of the most significant differences between the two are in total treatment time.
Thanks to their strategic placement, All-on-4 dental implants can also eliminate the need for the preparatory procedures that are often necessary before traditional implant dentistry. That means All-on-4 can be a much faster and less invasive procedure overall.
Teeth In a Day also offer a more affordable solution for total tooth loss. Placing enough traditional dental implants to support an entire row of teeth would come with a hefty price tag. But because a full denture can be supported on just four dental implants, All-on-4 is a realistic option for many budgets. (See more on How Much Does All-on-4 Cost below.)
However, smokers should be aware that tobacco use greatly diminishes the success of their dental implants. Smoking inhibits healing and makes it difficult for your jawbone to grow together with the dental implants. You may be advised against All-on-4 if you cannot give up smoking. If you are ready to quit smoking but are unsure how to go about it, talk to your doctor about successful smoking cessation tactics.
Impressions or molds of your upper and lower jaw will be made so that we can create your personalized treatment plan. All-on-4 dental implants require extreme precision, so the planning phase is crucial to the ultimate success of your new tooth replacement. With these molds, our technicians create the new, lifelike prosthetic (the denture) that will be affixed to your All-on-4 implants.
On the day of the procedure for your All-on-4 dental implants, our staff will welcome you warmly into Dr. Carollos office and answer any questions you may have about the treatment. Then, we will administer local anesthesia and sedation, as desired. Once we are sure you are completely comfortable and relaxed, the procedure can begin.
Dr. Carollo or Dr. Sufian begins by removing the remaining teeth (if any still exist in the gum line) and cleaning out any diseased or infected tissue. Then, two dental implants are placed at the front of the jaw, where there is maximum support. Two more dental implants are inserted at a 45 degree angle along the side of the jaw to draw as much strength from the sturdy bone as possible.
After they have restored your smile with your new teeth, Dr. Carollo or Dr. Sufian will send you home with important after-care instructions to help you speed through healing as comfortably and quickly as possible. That includes keeping up with your good dental hygiene (brushing and flossing), and maintaining a diet of soft, nutritious foods until you feel comfortable eating normally again. Do not engage in strenuous activity, and definitely avoid putting your face at risk of trauma (like playing contact sports).
Dr. Carollo has been the team dentist for the NY Jets since 2006, when the team moved to Florham Park, NJ. An avid football fan, he has come to love the New York Jets over the past 7 seasons. During this time, he has had the pleasure of getting to know many of the players, coaches and management of the club personally, and it is an honor for him to play a small role in their success. Dr. Carollo & Dr. Sufian are at every home game, there for any dental issues if the need arises. He works closely with the medical team to ensure each member of the organization has a healthy smile. Dr. Carollo and the Jets understand the direct link between oral health and a healthy, strong body. And, he does everything possible to ensure every player protects their teeth while being ready to handle tooth-related emergencies should they arise. Keep your eyes open on your next visit to our office. You never know who will be in the dental chair next to you.

Dr Carollo and staff are so helpful and guided me through the process of sleep apnea treatment. I tried several other treatments before, but this dental appliance is the only one that resolved my problems.

I visited this office as an emergency. Both sides of my bottom jaw were aching and I was tired of depending on pain meds. As soon as I called they fit me in the same day. I had a thorough exam by Dr. Sufian and Dr. Carollo. They quickly pin pointed the issue and within 45 minutes Dr. Sufian was able to treat both lower wisdom teeth. The entire office was kind and attentive. Thank you Dr. Sufian for your great service. See you next week.

Dr Carollo cured my Acute Sleep Apnea problem and delivered me from the bulky machine I have used for many years. His device was both comfortable and flexible. His meticulous attention, care and concern was outstanding. No more machines!

GAME CHANGER!!! LIFE CHANGER!!!! I was referred to Dr. Carollo after a sleep study - never thought of myself as a "snorer" but just someone who snored a little bit. After he reviewed my reports and conducted a few more specialized tests (all in his office) Dr. Carollo educated me on my sleeping issues, explained to me how they were effecting my overall sleep/health, and recommended a night-time appliance. Cannot begin to describe how it has changed my sleeping and awake life.....Can never say enough about his staff (beyond kind and professional) and Dr. Carollo - a truly caring professional....if you are reading this post - go see him - now .....you will not regret it.

My name is Shulamit (nickname: Shula) and I did see Dr. Carollo to address my dental concerns. Being extremely dissatisfied with his care, after two visits, I decided to seek for another dentist. Luckily, I found an excellent dentist who I am very much happy with. I will never recommend Dr. Carollo.

Dr. Carollo is an amazing dentist. I had went one time for a real professional to fix my first chipped tooth and my experience was life changing. He noticed more which led to a sleep study test, diagnosing a mild case of sleep apnea. He is more than a great dentist and his assistant Megan was always very thorough in what was going on. This made my visits always very comfortable. Thanks!

I have severe sleep apnea and I tried a CPAP machine but I couldn't use it because I felt like it was suffocating me. I went to Dr. Carollo and he designed a dental piece for me that fits comfortably on my teeth but it protrudes my jaw slightly so I don't snore. I fall right to sleep and it doesn't bother me at all. My sleep apnea has decreased significantly from severe to mild and for a few days when I didn't use it, I actually started falling asleep in a meeting and a class at work on two different occasions! I totally recommend Dr. Carolla to anyone having issues with a CPAP! I put the dental piece on my teeth (it is fitted to my teeth pattern) and I just go to sleep. To clean it, I either brush it with whitening tooth paste or I put it in sensodyne denture cleaner for about 5 minutes.

My sleep apnea was "hidden" -- I do not snore, am not overweight, do not have a thick neck, etc. But something was wrong and my quality of life was suffering. Upon receiving my oral device from Dr. Carollo, I was uncertain that first night about a large hard plastic device in my mouth. I layed down on my side, and INSTANTLY could feel a difference. It was like a pipe was pumping oxygen into my lungs. I knew right then and there things would change, and they have. After the second night I was used to the device in my mouth, and the benefits during the day were immediately felt and are very positive. I feel better rested, no more dizzy spells, no more feeling unsteady, etc. As for Dr. Carollo himself, he is exactly what you want in a medical professional: passionate about his craft, detail-oriented, and excited to help his patients. He explains to me and his staff what he is doing and why, and asks me if I have questions and really listens to what I have to say. His staff are extremely friendly and professional, to a person. This whole experience has been fantastic.

I have been a patient of Dr. Carollo for more than 6 years. He is gentle, thorough and attentive. He spends time with you and explains all procedures, answers questions and genuinely makes you feel comfortable. His staff, especially Donna, my hygienist, are amazing supports and always pleasant. I can't say how pleased I am and being in the healthcare profession myself, my expectations of excellence have been met and exceeded.
