About Richard A. Ekstein, DMD
As a Board Certified Prosthodontist, I specialize in Cosmetic, Reconstructive and Implant Dentistry. I choose to be a sole practitioner so that all of my patients receive a consistent quality of care. We use only the highest quality labs to fabricate customized crowns, veneers, and dentures for our patients. As a patient, know that you will find excellent support and care in every aspect of what we do here at Smile Design Specialist. I like to start your office visit in our consultation room so that your journey with us begins in a relaxing environment. We will comfortably discuss your needs and goals, which in turn allowed us to co-create a treatment plan for you that fully supports their dental and overall health while taking the emotional and financial issues into consideration. At Smile Design Specialist in North Arlington, NJ we offer many of dentistry’s latest technologies; digital x-rays, 3D imagining and T-Scan’s, but our amazing team is what makes us truly special! Our hygienists are gentle and thorough and the front office will impress you with their friendliness and ability to handle all aspects of your care — from scheduling to insurance filing. Over the years I have had many professional interests. In recent years I have carefully studied Dentomandibular Sensorimotor Dysfunctions and employed cutting edge of Neuromuscular Dentistry techniques for long-term pain resolution here at the Smile Design Specialist offices in Bergen County, NJ. My Prosthodontic training has served as a platform to support my efforts to implement the next generation of diagnostic technologies and treatment protocols for such conditions as chronic headache pain, severe migraine pain, TMJ/TMD, chronic tension in the head and neck regions, and even tinnitus. Dentomandibular rehabilitation (neuromuscular rehabilitation) can help to solve all of these problems and now that the breakthrough advancements in technology are here we are providing direct access to to them for our patients. We are confident that we can help most patients to achieve a healthier, pain-free life for the long-term.
