I have elevated my dental practice to provide the highest level of quality care and service. My goal is to give the best care that modern dental technology can offer while paying individual attention to each of my patient's needs.

I use high-tech procedures and equipment in my practice only when they will help me to treat my patients more effectively or comfortably: or when they will help to improve communication.

For example, we know that some patients get more nervous than others at the mere sight of a needle and syringe. That's why the office of Dr. Friedman now performs most anesthetic injections with a revolutionary system called THE WAND. After just one experience with THE WAND, the patient's fear and apprehension vanishes.

THE WAND doesn't look like a traditional syringe, so the patient's initial apprehension is minimized. Then during the actual injection the development of an anesthetic pathway combined with computer controlled constant flow assures that there is minimal awareness that the injection is even being administered. The combination of visual difference and painless performance makes for a much more positive overall experience. A relaxed and comfortable patient is a happy patient. Even my youngest patients don't seem to mind the injections administered with THE WAND. Some of them even like to count the beeps of anesthetic they are getting.

I have also installed an intraoral camera in every treatment area.  With this tool I can show a wide angle view of a patient's smile or zoom in close on one tooth. This allows you to see your mouth the way I see it and allows us to effectively discuss ways we can improve your oral health.
 

I offer a wider depth and breadth of dental services than you will find in most general dental practices. This is due to my General Practice Dental Residency, my teaching at Monmouth Medical Center, and my monthly continuing education courses.

I personally enjoy providing a wide variety of services, and my patients appreciate having their dental care at one location by one provider. My patients appreciate the comfort and overall efficiency the technology brings, particularly patients who are uneasy about visiting the dentist in the first place. The faster I can get them out of the dental chair, the happier they are. And it's always a pleasure when the procedure is finished and the patient says "Wow, that was easy!"
