Any patient with a complex dental history or someone who is looking for dental implants should see a periodontist. These dentists specialize in preventing, diagnosing and treating periodontal disease. They're also experts at placing dental implants and treating oral inflammation. If you need to see a periodontist in New Jersey, call Dr. Samantha Aaron at Specialized Dentistry of New Jersey (SDNJ) today. We want to give you a healthy and beautiful smile that restores your confidence.
One of the biggest differences between a periodontist and a general dentist is the amount of education involved. Periodontists go to school for three more years after dental school, and they receive extensive training to treat patients with periodontal disease. They're also trained to perform cosmetic periodontal procedures that a general dentist may not feel comfortable doing.

Dr. Samantha Aaron is one of only a few periodontists in New Jersey who are expertly trained and certified in this leading edge, non-invasive procedure.
