Ralph S. Reilly, DMD
 The Advanced Dentistry team is led by Dr. Ralph Reilly - one of the best trained and most highly regarded dentists in the country. A 1983 graduate of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Dr. Reilly continually furthers his expertise with extensive post doctoral education. He has completed all levels of the esteemed Rosenthal Institute for Aesthetic Dentistry at New York University College of Dentistry, the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies continuum, and Baylor University's Aesthetic Program - just to name a few. He now serves as a Senior Clinical Instructor at these prestigious post graduate programs. Dr. Reilly also is a guest speaker at many international dental industry events. Additionally, Dr. Reilly is currently one of only 40 dentists to become certified by the state of New Jersey to perform sedation dentistry. To become certified Dr. Reilly had to complete special training in enteral sedation techniques, which required 40 hours of post doctoral credits.
Dr. Reilly was recently voted the "BEST of the best" in a reader survey poll conducted by an area newspaper - The Courier News. And has been named as One of America's Top Dentists by the Consumer Research Council of America - for four years running.
He is often a featured guest speaker on both radio and television programs. Dr. Reilly recently completed a cosmetic dentistry segment for MD-TV, whose board of directors recognized him as a leader in the field of cosmetic dentistry. MD-TV is known for their 30 minute programming on medicine's latest advances.
Despite the fame and notoriety, Dr. Reilly is best known as the "Dentist's Dentist". He is continually sought out by his peers in the dental industry to perform their dental work. He brings this experience and extensive training to suburban New Jersey, providing the same quality of care to middle-class America.
Dr. Reilly and Kristy, his wife of over 20 years, have three children: Paden, Casey, and Taylor. They are a family of outdoor enthusiasts, enjoying skiing and many other activities. Dr. Reilly's passions are his family, dentistry, his patients and cross country equestrian events, in that order. So as you can see, you can be confident in your choice of dentist, knowing you are considered more than just another patient to Dr. Reilly, you are his guest.
Dr. Glen Atlas
At Advanced Dentistry, we have always been sensitive to our patients that experience a phobia towards dental treatment. Along with Dr. Reilly’s certification in sedation dentistry, he has now joined with Dr. Atlas, a board certified anesthesiologist, to bring general anesthesia to our facility.
Dr. Reilly’s patients can now safely receive anesthesia, for a wide range of dental procedures, without going to a hospital. Dr. Atlas is certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology in both Anesthesiology and Pain Management.
When Dr. Atlas is not at work, he is publishing articles and books or teaching other professionals. He has over 70 publications available.

Gale: Patient Coordinator
Probably the first voice you will hear when you call advanced dentistry will be the tender voice of our Patient Coordinator, Gale Powell. Just a few moments with Gale and you will see why we are so happy she has decided to join our team. In 1976 Gale graduated from Bryman Dental School as a certified Dental Assistant. Her passion for patients and her desire to make a difference in patient acceptance of needed dental care resulted in years of experience in all the specialties of dentistry. She comes from a family of dental phobics so she knows, first hand, how traumatic calling for a dental appointment can be for some. With that incredible education, she later worked for an insurance company helping dentists grow their practices. As busy as she has been, she also enjoys a loving marriage of 31 years and has plenty of room for her three children and wonderful granddaughter. She loves to cook, spend time with her dog and granddaughter. After almost 30 years in the industry, she came to us with her wealth of knowledge to coordinate our patients’ needs. Her compassion to help our patients embrace dental health by making dental treatment feasible as she magically sets up payment plans and time schedules that are completely customized to every need.

Christian: Dental Assistant
Christian Gonzales comes to u from Costa Rica, where he just graduated dental school. While in school, Christian and his classmates studied some journal articles written by Dr. Reilly. He came here with the dream of meeting Dr. Reilly and hopefully studying under him.
For Christian “dentistry is a passion, not a job”. So, he jumped at the chance to work for us as a dental assistant. In a year or two, he plans on applying to dental school here to pursue specialty training in endodontics [root canal].
In the meantime he feels incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to study and learn from “one of the best”. Christian is quick to smile and has a wonderful enthusiasm. When not dreaming about dentistry, he enjoys Tennis and Basketball. |
