We are dedicated to making patient care safer and more effective every day. That all begins with high quality materials. Thats why our practice offers mercury-free and metal-free restorative dentistry. Every restoration you receive in our office will look and feel like natural tooth structure. Safe and effective for patients with metal allergies or sensitivities, these restoration materials are of the highest quality, and they can last for decades with proper care.

We feel a responsibility to our patients to stay up-to-date on the latest advances in dentistry. When technologies come along that we know will change the way we interact with and treat our patients for the better, we do all that we can to offer these services to our patients. Digital x-rays, digital impressions, and an intra-oral camera are a few of the newer technologies we use in our office. Staying at the forefront of dental innovation is important to us because we know it can make your dental treatments faster, more comfortable, and more effective.

There are few dentists with a background in dentistry like Dr. Petulla. Not only did she have a direct connection into the dental field through her father, who owned the practice, but she began assisting him when she was very young. This gave Dr. Petulla the chance to learn his dental philosophy, which carried a more holistic approach to treatment.

For example, Dr. Petullas father was one of the first dentists in the 1980s to avoid the use of mercury in dentistry. When Dr. Petulla eventually took over the practice, she had the same philosophy and opted not to use mercury with patients of her own. We hope the next time you visit, you will not only be able to gain the beautiful, healthy smile that you deserve, but easily strike up a conversation with Dr. Petulla, as well.

When Dr. Petulla was only 14 years old, her father gave her the chance to learn the ins and outs of dentistry, starting with lab work. During her time in the lab, she created prosthetics, which gave her the opportunity to combine her passion for art with her growing interest for dentistry. For good reason, her father was excited to see her pursue his field. Through high school, college, and beyond, he encouraged and helped her whenever she needed it. Now, Dr. Petulla is an expert in producing many types of dental restorations.

With her strong desire to user her hands to create works of art and her interest in healthcare, she went on the educational journey that included undergrad, dental school, residency and more with the love and support of her family and friends.

After attending Elizabethtown College for undergrad, she enrolled at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry to earn her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. She then went on to complete a residency in General Dentistry at Abington Memorial Hospital in Abington, Pennsylvania. Dr. Petulla has always maintained the mentality that you can learn something new every day. She pursued her love for learning even after working with her father for so many years and continued her education with several leading dental experts around the world. She would eventually complete advanced training at the Las Vegas Institute, as well as the Astra Dental Headquarters located in Sweden.

Today, Dr. Petulla is a member of multiple dental associations and organizations, including the Crown Council of Dentists, the Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the Southern Dental Society. These groups dedicate much of their time to continuing their education and giving back to their communities through charitable work.

While Dr. Petulla really enjoys cooking, travelling and exercising, one of her greatest passions outside of dentistry is riding horses and participating in showjumping competitions. At age 13, she got her own horse and has been competing ever since.

These competitions give Dr. Petulla the chance to travel the east coast, sometimes with her family along for the ride. Today, she is a resident of Moorestown, NJ, where she lives with her husband and daughter, Taegan along with their two dogs.

At Dr. Petullas practice, you will not get just any run-of-the-mill dentistry. You will get top notch treatment delivered in a warm, comfortable atmosphere, by a dentist and team whose main goals align with yours from beginning to end. We hope you will bring a family member or friend as well; we would love to meet them!

Our practice pulls talent from all walks of life, from those who have lived in South Jersey all of their lives, to those who have had a unique cultural upbringing. Dr. Jennifer L. Kazemi, whose parents emigrated from Taiwan, has always understood the importance of having and receiving good dental care.

During her childhood, Dr. Kazemi understood from the stories her parents told her, that they did not receive quality dental care while growing up in Taiwan. Whenever they had a toothache, the solution was to have the tooth extracted. Because of their own experiences, her parents made sure that she and her older brother had the best dental care possible, so that they would never have a terrible or traumatizing experience.

Ironically, the dentist her parents chose lived right in their neighborhood! Every visit to his office was a pleasant one, but what really sparked Dr. Kazemis interest in dentistry was when she found out she needed braces. After completing treatment with a female orthodontist, and having her smile transformed, Dr. Kazemi realized that she could one day see herself providing care for others in the same gentle and kind way!

By the time Dr. Kazemi started her undergraduate education at the University of Pennsylvania, she was certain that she wanted to become a dentist. Through some research, she found out that there was an opportunity to submatriculate with the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, and finish her undergraduate and dental degrees in just seven years! After doing so, Dr. Kazemi received her Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) degree in 2000, and decided that general dentistry was the right path for her. She continued her education by completing a General Practice Residency at Virtua Hospital in 2001. After residency, Dr. Kazemi worked in private practice, while also inspiring future dentists in the pre-doctoral clinic as a Clinical Associate Instructor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine.

As part of her continuing education, Dr. Kazemi has traveled to the Nobel Biocare Headquarters in Yorba Linda, CA, to study the design and restoration of Nobel Biocare implants, as well as to Gothenburg, Sweden, to the Astra headquarters for a comprehensive course on the design and prosthetic components of Astra implants.

In 2015, Dr. Kazemi was fortunate enough to join Dr. Petulla and her team. In addition to attending numerous continuing education courses, both dentists are fully trained to use the 3M True Definition Scanner, a device used to fabricate crowns and bridges.

Dr. Kazemi is married to her husband, Shahin, a well-established periodontist in Cherry Hill, NJ. They have two children, a son and a daughter. When shes not helping patients improve their oral health, Dr. Kazemi is likely making time to take a run or do Zumba, attend her sons soccer game, watch her daughter perform a gymnastics routine, or settle down with a good book after a long day.

Traveling to other countries and learning about other cultures is one of Dr. Kazemis favorite pastimes. She and her family have traveled to over 13 different countries so far, including Italy, England, Belgium, Greece, and Taiwan! They hope to visit many more in the future.
