Dr. Allison Cross grew up in Falmouth, MA on picturesque Cape Cod, or the Cape as she affectionately refers to it (just ask her to show you her arm map). She began her journey into dentistry in 2007 as a dental hygienist, graduating from the Fones School of Dental Hygiene at the University of Bridgeport. Inspired to broaden her abilities to care for her patients she was driven to pursue her dental degree. She returned to school while continuing to work as a hygienist, receiving a BS degree in Biology from Ramapo College of New Jersey and her DMD degree from the Rutgers School of Dental Medicine. She then completed a one year General Practice Residency at Mountainside Hospital. There she received extensive training in general dentistry while becoming proficient at handling dental emergencies, treating patients in the operating room, and providing dental treatment to individuals with developmental disabilities.
Dr. Cross will tell you that her foundation in dental hygiene taught her to treat the whole patient, not just teeth. She recognizes that behind every procedure is a person--a life--and her goal is to make that life just a little happier and a little healthier.

Extremely friendly, polite, professional staff, and delicate on my very sore tooth! I had a great interaction with the receptionists, dental hygienist, and Dr. Allison Cross. The office itself is very nice, clean, comfortable. I was treated extremely well and will be returning!

Dr. Kurdian is very knowledgeable, caring and friendly! She is one of the best dentists I know, and I highly recommend her. The office is always super clean, and every one at the reception desk is very professional and nice. Waiting time is anything from 0 to less than 5 minutes, which is great.

This place is . I had bad tooth pain and my friend recommended them. I called and told them I was in pain and they made a time available right away. I went in and they filled Out most of the paper work for me before I got there to save me time. Plus everything they did they explained in language I could understand. They pulled my tooth for half the price of the other dentist I was going to. Very nice the entire time and it was effortless for the dentist. It was like he's done this 1000000 times before; no problem. Seems like these guys really know what they are doing. I got a phone call later that night from the dentist just to make sure I was doing ok. This place goes above and beyond. Wish I could give 100 stars. Forgot to mention I'm not a millionaire and I can't afford a root canal. When I told them that they didn't try to push it on me. It was just "ok you want your tooth pulled no problem"
