(201) FAMILY’S TOP DENTISTS Dr. Laurence Breiterman, D.M.D., M.A.G.D., F.I.C.O.I. ADVANCED DENTAL TECHNIQUES | 1211 HAMBURG TURNPIKE, SUITE 305 | WAYNE | (973) 988-1233 | WWW.ADVANCEDDENTALTECHNIQUES.COM DRIVEN, COMPASSIONATE AND DEDICATED. DR. LAURENCE BREITERMAN IS A TRUE master of all trades when it comes to dentistry. Today, with the majority of dentists becoming highly specialized in one field, Dr. Breiterman’s passion for dentistry has driven him to learn from world leaders across many disciplines in general, cosmetic, restorative, TMJ diagnostics, comprehensive smile design, periodontics and endodontics utilizing the latest advanced technologies. “Patients really appreciate our ‘one-stop shop’ approach. It gives me great satisfaction to be at the center of a person’s transformation,” says Dr. Breiterman. “Often times, a patient comes to me who has had bad dentistry or simply neglected their teeth. I am able to rebuild trust and restore confidence through a beautiful smile and ultimately a higher level of wellness and self-esteem.” This level of excellence did not come without an enormous amount of drive and hard work. Since graduating from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Dr. Breiterman has made a commitment to staying at the top of his profession through extensive continuing education. Through the highly regarded Academy of General Dentistry, he is the recipient of the Academy’s Lifelong Service Recognition Award, an accolade held by only about 300 people in the entire world requiring thousands of hours of education as well as community service in dentistry. 58 NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2016 | (201) FAMILY Dr. Breiterman embraces community service and has made it a big part of his practice and philosophy. Every year, he donates a full day to the Give Kids A Smile program where he treats as many children as possible at no cost and explains the importance of good oral health at an early age. Through the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry’s Give Back a Smile program, he helps to rebuild women’s self-confidence by providing charitable dentistry for battered women. And it does not end there: He has volunteered his skills to impoverished people in local communities through the prestigious Pankey Institute’s Dental Access Days Program. A visit to Dr. Breiterman is more than just an ordinary visit to the dentist. It’s a practice built on the unique combination of science and artistry. His first goal is to build trust by getting to know the patient’s needs and goals. Because of his extensive understanding of most facets of dentistry, he is able to evaluate all the systems and provide each patient with a lifetime plan for healthy, problem-free teeth. In order to make patient’s feel relaxed, the office is designed to comfort and pamper. Patients can choose from heated chair massages to a paraffin wax hand treatment. A visit to Dr. Breiterman is an experience well above and beyond the typical dental examination and changes the perspective of dentistry for even those who have shied away in the past.
