Dr. Roger Lerner adheres to the same philosophy today as when he started his dental practice more than two decades ago: treat every patient as if they were family. “If you do something, you must give it 100 percent or don’t do it at all,” he says. “That advice came from my ultimate role model, my father. Receiving recognition as a New Jersey Monthly Top Dentist is truly an honor. My amazing team and loving family inspire me every day to make excellent patient care a priority.”

Dr. Lerner’s state-of-the-art practice provides services ranging from routine dental work to complete smile makeovers. “We implement the latest technology in order to bring our patients quality care in a clean, safe, friendly, and comfortable environment,” he says. Utilizing 3-D technology enables Dr. Lerner to design and create a seamless digital workflow that lessens appointment times and eliminates the unnecessary discomfort that many patients often associate with more traditional techniques used in the past. That includes using CEREC® same-day crowns, conservative porcelain restorations, and computer-designed implant guides for precise and predictable implant placement.

As part of his comprehensive treatment approach, Dr. Lerner also helps improve overall systemic health for patients suffering from sleep apnea by customizing and fabricating FDA-approved, lifesaving oral appliances. “The most rewarding aspect of my work is hearing a patient say, ‘I love my smile. I wish I would have done it years ago,’” he says. “This gives me a tremendous sense of pride and satisfaction, knowing that I helped my patient reach their optimum oral health, restored their confidence, and improved their quality of life for many years to come.”
