A Short Drive to Superior Care
Proximity is convenient, but precision is permanent. Many of our patients drive from Englewood not because they have to, but because they refuse to settle for "good enough" when it comes to their health.
We believe that a beautiful smile is the visible result of a biologically stable system. Our team digs deeper to find the root cause of wear, pain, or instability, ensuring that our work doesn't just look flawless today—it lasts. Our private practice in Bergen County welcomes patients of all ages and backgrounds.

Dr. Dayna Cassandra DDS
Dr. Dayna Cassandra has spent the last twenty years serving Bergen County with a focus on clinical reality. She is known for her refusal to cut corners; she obsesses over the functional details so her patients don’t have to. While she specializes in the artistry of porcelain veneers and smile design, she builds those aesthetics on a foundation of health to ensure they last. Since opening her Paramus doors in 2006, she has cultivated a practice where technical precision and personal connection carry equal weight.
Dr. Cassandra believes that exceptional dentistry requires an exceptional environment. Her practice is designed for patients who value their health and appreciate a higher level of attention. Supported by a close-knit team of ten professionals, including an in-house periodontist, she offers a seamless, 'white-glove' experience where you are made to feel safe, respected, and thoroughly cared for.
Her approach is backed by a deep commitment to education. A graduate of the University of Maryland Dental School, Dr. Cassandra has completed advanced training at the prestigious Pankey Institute and is a Faculty Club member at Spear Education. She also spent many years shaping the future of the field as an Assistant Clinical Professor at NYU’s Rosenthal Institute. Whether she is rebuilding a complex bite or refining a smile, Dr. Cassandra is passionate about giving her patients the confidence and freedom that come with true oral health.
Dr. Shari Klein brings valuable expertise to our practice as a highly respected periodontist. With a distinguished career dedicated to improving both the health and aesthetics of the gums, she offers care that is as thorough as it is gentle. Her educational background is exceptional, combining advanced training in periodontics with a Master’s degree in nutrition, giving her a holistic perspective on how your oral health supports your overall well-being.
Beyond her clinical work, Dr. Klein has spent over two decades as an educator, staying at the forefront of her field. She combines this high-level knowledge with a compassionate, patient-first approach, ensuring that even complex periodontal treatments feel comfortable and manageable. She is a dedicated partner for anyone seeking to restore the foundation of their smile.
The "Pre-Vu" Protocol
We do our best to take the anxiety out of cosmetic dentistry with our signature "Pre-Vu Pre-New" process. Before committing to veneers or extensive restorative work, you can test-drive a custom prototype of your new smile. This lets us verify that your confident smile matches your speech patterns and facial aesthetics perfectly. Pre-Vu also ensures that you are a partner in the planning, never a bystander. We believe you deserve to know exactly what you are investing in before proceeding with treatment.
Curated Solutions For All Ages
Every treatment plan is built on a foundation of detailed diagnostics. We take the time to explain your options clearly, ensuring you feel knowledgeable and empowered to make the right choice for your lifestyle.
Repair & Reset
When your oral health has been compromised by wear, trauma, or years of patchwork dentistry, the solution often requires a comprehensive reset. Full mouth rehabilitation is designed to improve aesthetics while stabilizing your entire oral system. We work to align your bite and restore your teeth so they function in harmony, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile without hesitation. This process breaks the cycle of constant repairs, giving you a result that feels solid, comfortable, and indistinguishable from natural teeth.
Fine Edits Done Right
Porcelain veneers are one of the most effective ways to refine the shape, shade, and symmetry of your smile without compromising its character. We design these ultra-thin, custom ceramics to mimic the light-handling properties of natural enamel, allowing us to correct chips, gaps, or deep discoloration seamlessly. Rather than simply covering imperfections, we view veneers as a lasting enhancement—bonded securely to create a result that is durable, stain-resistant, and authentically you.
Plant New Roots
Replacing a missing tooth fills a gap while preserving the structural integrity of your jawbone. Dental implants act as artificial roots, integrating directly with the bone to prevent resorption and maintain your facial contours. This creates a stable anchor for crowns or bridges, restoring your full biting power and eliminating the slipping or clicking often associated with removable dentures. It is the closest we can get to giving you your natural tooth back—permanent, secure, and built to last.
The Routine Essentials
General dentistry is the first line of defense for your long-term health. We want your teeth to be clean, but we also want to stay ahead of issues before they become complex or costly. Maintaining a consistent schedule of hygiene and diagnostics lets us detect subtle changes, like early decay or gum inflammation, while they are still easy to manage. Our goal is to keep your foundation stable so you can enjoy a healthy, comfortable smile for life.
Your Beauty Blueprints
Prosthodontics is dedicated to the restoration and replacement of teeth. When you lose teeth to trauma, decay, or wear, it compromises your ability to chew effectively and speak clearly. We use precision solutions, including crowns, bridges, and implants, to re-establish a complete, stable bite. Our team focuses on the specific details of your case, ensuring that every restoration integrates naturally with your smile and returns you to a high quality of life.
Starting Fresh
Full mouth rehabilitation is a comprehensive approach designed to address the entire oral system rather than treating individual teeth in isolation. When you are dealing with extensive wear, missing teeth, or bite misalignment, we work to rebuild the foundation of your smile. By coordinating specific treatments such as crowns, implants, or orthodontics, we re-establish the proper relationship between your teeth and jaw joints. This ensures a stable, balanced result that restores your ability to eat comfortably and smile with confidence
