A picture explains what words never can, especially when it comes to your teeth. An intraoral camera can take pictures with such detail, it can show cracks and stress marks in a tooth that cant be seen with the naked eye.
A North Jersey native, Dr. Lepelletier spent the first 10 years of his life living a few miles down Route 15 growing up on Lake Shawnee in Jefferson. He went to The College of New Jersey, then worked as a chemist for four years while getting his masters degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University at night. He then fulfilled his lifelong dream of becoming a dentist, graduating from Rutgers Dental School. Afterwards, he served as Chief Resident at Newark Beth Israels Dental Program. Since graduating he has also completed a 3-year training course at New York University in implants.
Dr. Lepelletier believes in providing exceptional care for his patients. While dentists are required to complete 20 hours of continuing education a year, Dr. Lepelletier has committed himself to learning and has averaged over 100 hours of additional education per year since graduating a decade ago. Along with his wife, he was awarded Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (A distinction given to only 6% of general dentists).
Im so blessed to have such a wonderful wife and 2 amazing sons. Right now, were just trying to soak up all the special moments of having young children in our family. We like to go camping, canoeing, and hiking (anything outdoors and together).
Dr. Katrina Verendia graduated Magna Cum Laude from The College of New Jersey with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. She obtained her DMD degree at Rutgers Dental School and advanced her training at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center.
Since her schooling ended, Dr. V worked at a pediatric dental office and a general dental office finding purpose in relaxing the anxious patient. Her interest in dentistry began when her family dentist discussed with her opportunities in the career for mission trips to third-world countries. She feels very blessed to have had the opportunity to serve on a mission trip herself in Guatemala.
