Caring for a diverse community, spending my time with people of all ages from many walks of life, is an opportunity to understand and connect with others. After practicing since 1999, I am still seeing some of the same patients people whove become friends and am now caring for many of their children, too. Its humbling to realize how much people rely on me and the care I provide.
When I started at Rutgers, Id intended to become a psychiatrist. Then I met a couple who were youth pastors at a local church and also in the medical field: one was a dentist and the other a medical doctor. After spending time with them, and seeing them in a professional setting, I realized that while psychiatry and internal medicine were opportunities to help others, dentistry was what I needed to pursue.
As a dentist, Im able to take someone out of pain, give them the ability to comfortably and properly chew, and improve their smile. What I do tangibly improves peoples lives, physically and emotionally!
As your dentist, please know I have two open, non-judgmental ears. I promise to always hear you, encourage your honesty, and do my best to help you keep your smile strong and healthy for many years to come. Dr. Stephen Kang
Dr. Kang cares for the whole person, not only their oral health. As a dentist, he knows that while a great skill set and technology can correct a problem, true healing and lifelong health comes from trust and the ability to understand the persons unique personal situation.
Since finishing dental school, Dr. Kang has completed more than 1000 hours of continuing education: the New Jersey state requirement is only 40 hours every two years! Hes studied, in depth: sedation dentistry, pinhole surgical techniques, and dental implants.
In addition to staying current on advancements in dental techniques, technology, and materials, Dr. Kang has taken many courses in psychology, focusing on stress and human relationships. While practicing as a dentist, he completed a Master of Arts degree in psychology.
He and his wife have two beautiful daughters. Theirs is a musical family: Dr. Kangs wife is a professional classical opera singer who recently finished a doctorate in Music at the Mason Gross School at Rutgers University. In addition to her professional career, she assists at the office and is a full-time mother!
Dr. Kang enjoys spending free summer days kayaking and canoeing and loves family camping trips. Many of his weekend hours are spent at his church, where he cooks for more than 800 people in the congregation. He also volunteers his time at oral health fairs and delivering presentations at local schools and churches throughout the area.
Dr. Kang truly enjoys dentistry and is eager to do more for his patients to make their lives better. He will listen with two open ears and find the best path for your well being at the Berlin Dental Arts.

I graduated from Camden County College and started working for Berlin Dentalin 2005. As a dental assistant, I work hand in hand with Dr. Kang with many aspects of our patients care. I enjoy developing relationships with our patients and being a part of helping to improve their dental health. Its nice to see them smiling as they walk out the door knowing we took them out of pain or were able to make them feel better about themselves. It is important to me to have a trustworthy relationship with our patients and provide them with the best possible care.
