A smile has different needs throughout every stage of life. Children are most vulnerable to cavities between the ages of 6 and 15, while your own adult smile may require treatment for gum disease or high-quality tooth replacement. No matter your age, you always need a dentist who is an expert in providing comfortable care that is tailored specifically for your smile.

At Rauchberg Dental Group, we are pleased to have cultivated a team full of specialists across a variety of fields of dentistry. Dr. Alan Rauchberg is a trusted family dentist supported by the services of a Periodontist, Dr. Eunjung Shim and an orthodontist, Dr. Denise Kitay. Dr. Manal Kazi offers her own areas of expertise and specializations ranging from root canals and TMJ therapy to cosmetic dentistry and more.

Dr. Joel L. Rauchberg, the founder of Rauchberg Dental, spent his long career providing high quality dental care to patients from Parsippany and surrounding areas. As a native of New Jersey, it makes sense that he is passionate about serving this community. He may have retired in 2016, but Dr. Rauchberg remains committed to the oral health of patients of Rauchberg Dental.

Originally from Newark, Dr. Rauchberg attended Weequahic High School and graduated from Albright College. As a child, he had to go to the dentist a lot -- and he says these experiences are what motivated him to attend dental school after earning his bachelors. He went to Temple Dental School (now Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry) and graduated in 1961. Upon graduation, Dr. Joel served in the US Air Force as a captain and dentist. Dr. Joel is also a Master (MAGD) and Fellow (FAGD) of the American Academy of General Dentistry (AGD). Only about 6 percent of general dentists are AGD Fellows, and less than 2 percent are AGD Masters.

Together with his wife, dental hygienist Liz Rauchberg, Dr. Joel opened up his first dental office on Vail Road in 1965. They chose Parsippany because they could tell it was a growing community, and that made it the perfect spot for their new family and budding business. And thats how your Parsippany dentist ended up here!

The original dental office was a 500 square foot home with three operatories, one for Liz and two for Joel. They moved to todays dental office on Baldwin Road in 1986. It was a big upgrade -- tripling the size of the dental office to 1500 square feet and 5 rooms -- but their passion for personalized, high quality dental care remained the same.

After more than 50 committed years spent serving the needs of friends and families in Parsippany and the surrounding areas, Dr. Joel retired from dentistry in 2016. Throughout his long and dedicated career, Dr. Rauchberg participated in many local and national dental organizations and community events. They included:

Today, Dr. Joel enjoys traveling, playing tennis, and spending time with his six grandchildren. He is pleased to see his son Alan continuing the Rauchberg tradition as the current owner of Rauchberg Dental Group. The state-of-the-art dental office is now 3,000 square feet and has 10 operatories to help patients of all ages receive the high-quality, personalized care every smile deserves.

For nearly three full decades, Dr. Rauchberg has gone the extra mile to help people from all walks of life reap the benefits that come from improved oral health. What he enjoys most about his job is interacting with others on a personal level each and every day not just his long-term patients, but his team members too!

Dr. Rauchbergs father, Dr. Joel Rauchberg, started this dental office all the way back in 1965. His mother also worked there as a dental hygienist. Rauchberg Dental started out as a home dental office, which meant that he and his siblings were always around dentistry. One Sunday morning, a patient rang the doorbell because his daughter had accidentally chipped a front tooth on the edge of their pool. Since his mom wasnt home, Dr. Rauchberg became the default dental assistant, and it was amazing to see how his father was able to keep the girl calm while also repairing her tooth. From that day on, he thought that dentistry would be a great profession to get involved in too and he was right!

After graduating from the Temple University School of Dentistry, Dr. Rauchberg completed a one-year General Practice Residency (GPR) program at the Medical College of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Since then, he has regularly pursued additional continuing education over 100 hours each year, in fact! This includes studying at the Spear Institute, undergoing training at the Dawson Academy, and even completing the full continuum at the world-renowned Pankey Institute. He is currently a member of the American Dental Association, New Jersey Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, and American Academy of Dental Practice.

Dr. Rauchberg and his wife Maureen have three grown children named Jessica (a PhD candidate), Jake (a 2nd year law student), and Cameron (a senior at Franklin and Marshall College). Away from dentistry, he is a HUGE sports fan. Hes always ready to cheer on the big local teams (Mets, Jets, Knicks, Red Bulls, etc) and also loves English Premier Soccer, especially Manchester United. Some of his other favorite hobbies include jogging, hiking, biking, cooking, and traveling with family and friends.
