He uses the latest technology, including computer-guided CT scans for precise implant placement, and lasers for painless treatment and fast recovery. Dr. Shin completes more than 1,000 surgical procedures each year, many of them implants, and works with referring dentists throughout the state to provide expert, comprehensive care. He practices with textbook-style precision, but also connects with patients, taking time to carefully discuss what is needed and their treatment options. "People appreciate our level of expertise and care, and they're surprised by how comfortable the experience is." A graduate of NYU College of Dentistry, where he also completed his specialty training, Dr. Shin is now an assistant clinical professor there.

Dr. Shin chose his specialty as a way to help people while challenging himself academically. He says, "Periodontics is the future of dentistry. More people are losing their teeth due to gum disease, but thanks to implants and bone grafts, we are able to replace them." He eagerly embraces any opportunity for professional education. "I want to learn something new every day so I can be the very best at what I do." 519 Bloomfield Avenue, Suite L-19, Caldwell NJ 07006 (973) 228-8500 Periodontist.com 680 Kinderkamack Road, Suite 202, Oradell NJ 07649 (201) 634-9400 AlpinePerio.com |
