'I became an orthodontist because I wanted to help others and improve their confidence. I was lucky enough to have orthodontia as a child, and I was struck by how happy the patients were. That smile is priceless!
I truly believe nothing makes a better first impression than a wonderful smile. A great smile draws people to you, invites them to get to know you and there 's nothing quite like the feeling of seeing your new smile for the very first time!'
'Orthodontic treatment generally occurs in the preteen or early teenage years, a period when kids are still trying to figure themselves out and self-confidence can be fleeting. The boost of confidence my patients get when I reveal their amazing new smiles is incredible. I always appreciate knowing that my services often bring joy and confidence! I love being able to do this for a living, and can 't imagine anything better.
I love the variety of patients that I get to work with on a daily basis. It is never boring here! I also enjoy seeing the transformation that occurs during treatment. Even the shyest and most insecure child can 't help but become more confident when they see their radiant new smile. The look in their eyes is indescribable.'
'Before becoming an orthodontist, I graduated Cum Laudewith a BA in Biology and a Spanish minor from Trenton State College, now called The College of New Jersey. I then attended the University of Medicine and Dentistry of NJ, where I earned both my DMD and my Orthodontic Specialty Certificate.
I am always involved in orthodontic and dental continuing education, from reading professional and medical journals to attending conferences and continuing education courses. These efforts keep me up to date with the latest in orthodontic technology, so I can provide the highest quality treatments for my patients!
As a part of my continuing education, I am an active member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the Middle Atlantic Society of Orthodontics,the New Jersey Association of Orthodontics, the New Jersey Dental Association, and the American Dental Association.
'I am originally from Butler and love now living in Rockaway! My husband Bill and I have two boys, one in middle school and one in high school. We live in the same town I work and frequently see patients and their parents while out and about at our local lake beaches or pools. My husband and children also enjoy boating and fishing on our lake. Sometimes our two dogs enjoy coming out on the boat, too! They are a mother/daughter that we rescued a couple years ago. I also volunteer wherever I am needed for school events.'
We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.
'I assist Dr. Roberto in procedures and I love my job... especially the artistic aspect of orthodontics - from the beginning of treatment, through the entire process, and then the beautiful end result.Seeing a patient 's big smile after treatment makes it all worthit. I also appreciate working with my team because they have supportedand inspiredme as a dental assistant since the very beginning.
I havetwo grown children in their 20s and I am a grandmother to the most wonderful 2-year-old granddaughter. My husband and I enjoy taking walks with our 2 dogs and spending time with our granddaughter.'
'I have worked in the dental field since1985, right out of high school. I worked in general dentistry until I began my orthodontic career in 2000. My job as an RDA is veryrewarding.There are no words toexpress the happiness that we all share, creating beautiful smiles.It is a blessing to work with wonderful co-workers as one happy team, with the best boss ever!
'I began my career in dentistry in 1994 and became an RDA in 1997. I joined Dr. Roberto in 2004 and we have worked side by side ever since. I strive to provide our patients with the best care and information they need to ensure successful treatment outcomes. I enjoy getting to know our patients on a personal level and seeing their beautiful smiles when their braces finally come off.'
I have been in the dental field for 10 years working in pediatrics, and I joined Rockaway Orthodontics in 2019. I love being a part of this practice because it is such a positive environment. You can find me assisting in any capacity needed, from the front office, to taking x-rays, or assisting the doctor chair-side.
