Were Dr. Jason Tesoriero and Dr. Christine Rizkalla and this is Oakwood Dental! Our practice is built on the belief that patients of all ages should feel welcomed and comfortable when seeing a dentist.
You dont need dental insurance to see a dentist that cares about you and your health. While our office is in-network with many dental insurance providers, we take great pride in offering flexible financing and payment options to patients without insurance.
Being a pediatric dentist not only allows me to make a difference in a childs dental health but also gives me the opportunity to build a positive relationship that impacts them well beyond their childhood!
Dr. Jason Tesoriero graduated from Binghamton University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology before earning his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from NYU College of Dentistry. After graduating, he pursued a two-year pediatric dental residency at Montefiore Medical Center. While there, he served as the chief resident and received advanced training in treating a diverse patient population including medically compromised and special needs children and adults. Dr. Jason is a Board Certified Pediatric Dentist and a proud member of the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.
Dr. Jason grew up in Staten Island, NY but now lives in Lincroft, NJ with his wife and two daughters. When Dr. Jason isnt busy at home running after his own children, he loves to fish! His favorite fish to target is striped bass but has caught tuna as large as 70 pounds!
Dr. Christine Rizkalla is a native Staten Islander, where she attended Staten Island Technical High School, one of the top STEM schools in the country, upon graduating she gained admission to the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey as part of the highly coveted and competitive 7-year BS/DMD program directly out of high school. This began her journey in the Garden State. Dr. Rizkalla earned a dual bachelors degree from the New Jersey Institute of Technology and Rutgers University in Biology, and Science Technology and Society and a minor in Management. After receiving her DMD from UMDNJ,(now Rutgers) she continued her education by completing a 1-year GPR Residency, at Sacred Heart Hospital, in Allentown PA.
Dr. Rizkalla has always been deeply committed to giving back to those who are in need. In the first year of her career, she traveled to Kenya, Bolivia, and throughout the Tristate Area to provide dental care to the underprivileged. In her spare time, she loves to hike, kayak, run and in general be as active as possible, but also is an avid reader. So whether she is kayaking, running, or working out she does it with the same passion she has for her work. She loves the NY Jets and can recite the entire opening monologue of Aladdin which is her favorite movie.

Friendly professional staff, and the new office in Middltown is beautiful. I switched my family to Oakwood Dental a few years ago and I couldn't be happier with my decision.

What an amazing practice. I highly recommend for pediatrics. All of the staff members are so friendly. And I can't praise Dr Jason enough. My daughter is 3 and needed some significant work done, and even after that, she still loves going to the dentist. She has no issues going back there, she actually looks forward to it. He has a real gift for easing anxiety while doing great work. So thankful!

Chelsea the dental hygienist was professional, knowledgeable and extremely thorough. I felt great when I left! I will be bringing my whole family to their practice.

Oakwood Dental Arts has been a god send to me. I have had bad experiences with dentists so meeting Dr. Pannone changed my life. He has been nothing but the most kind, professional dentist I've ever met. He has reworked my entire smile and I couldn't be happier. Everyone at the office is super nice. Can't thank them enough.

Dr Jason & his staff were incredible. My baby girl was born with a lip tie & it impaired her ability to nurse. We finally got it released at 8 weeks old (insurance company's fault not Oakwood) and they did an outstanding job. It was quick and easy. In and out. She's already healing beautifully and latching better every day. Everything was explained thoroughly to where I didn't have many questions. The follow up text from Dr Jason was reassuring as well. The office is clean and parking is convenient. I've already recommended to friends. Worth the almost hour drive I promise moms and dads!

Can not praise the staff and Doctor Jason enough! We had an emergency with our one year daughter yesterday, my children are not currently patients here (will be now) we went on the recommendation of a friend. They fit us in at their earliest convenience and were able to see her. . Their kindness and genuine concern was simply amazing. Thankfully the diagnosis was not severe and Doctor Jason put our minds to ease! thank you again!
