Core Values
Patient-centric
At Connolly Family Dentistry, we provide customized care, meaning we get to know YOU. Our clinicians work hard to create personalized ‘pathways to health’ for each patient based on your lifestyle, your goals and your overall systemic health. We pride ourselves on creating and maintaining long-term, meaningful relationships with our patients.
Ethical
Comprehensive & Proactive
This is where Connolly Family Dentistry really stands out from other dental practices. We take a comprehensive approach to all patients. Our ultimate goal is to get you “all the way” healthy. We do that by examining your entire mouth for health (clean, strong gums and teeth), function (bite) and beauty (we want all our patients to be PROUD of their smile). In addition, we like to address and solve problems before they become an issue (AKA pain) for our patients. We believe that proactive dentistry is much better than reactive dentistry. Why wait until someone is in pain to help them when you could have prevented the issue in the first place?
Clean, Safe & Responsible
We adhere to the highest standards set forth by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), ADA (American Dental Association) and the NJ laws for the use of ionizing radiation. All of our clinicians are licensed by the State of New Jersey. Not only do we sanitize every surface of every room in between patients, but we also employ state-of-the-art sterilization equipment to clean and sterilize all instruments between patients. Our office is also professionally cleaned and sanitized and we use a medical grade filtration system in our HVAC system, along with medical grade floor filtration units throughout the office.
Commitment to Excellence
We pride ourselves on our modern, state-of-the-art office and equipment. We are always learning about new technology and implementing it at our office to make visits even more seamless for our patients. We use only the most durable materials and high-end labs to create lasting and aesthetically pleasing restorations. Our doctors complete hundreds of hours of continuing education each year to stay up to date on the best techniques and technology. Our hygiene team also participates in CE courses and seminars to increase their level of knowledge, especially in the areas of periodontal disease and patient education. Our dental assisting team and our administrative team can be regularly found at conferences or taking online courses to improve the patient experience. Bottom line: WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT DENTISTRY AND WE CARE.
