About Patricia Desalvo, DMD
Dr. DeSalvo's specialties range from routine dental care for the whole family to cosmetic dentistry that includes veneers, porcelain inlays, onlays, crowns and whitening. ""Working together with my associates, an orthodontist, periodontist and endodontist, we strive to treat each patient individually to meet all their needs and goals."" states Dr. DeSalvo, whose patients range in age from 4 to 84. Patient education is at the forefront of the new practice. During your visit, not only will she explain the procedure, but will show you with a digital intraoral camera and a computerized patient education system called GURU. This greatly helps the patient make informed dental decisions. In addition, the practice uses digital x-rays, which provide less radiation and more comfort to the patient. She provides pain-free laser dentistry with a state-of-the-art BIOLASE laser system. Dr. DeSalvo also believes that every patient should be routinely screened for oral cancer and has equipped the office with a non-invasive oral cancer screening system called VELscope. Dr. DeSalvo is a graduate of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, with subsequent training at Hackensack University Medical Center. She is a familiar figure in local school districts, where she often volunteers to convey the importance of daily preventive care. Congenial, patient and supportive, the mother of three is especially adept at addressing the apprehensive patient and working with them to provide a positive dental experience. Being a mother, she also realizes the need for protection and safety among young athletes and provides custom sports mouth guards. Dr. DeSalvo relishes both the challenge and satisfaction of improving a person's appearance through cosmetic dentistry. Her new facility provides patient entertainment from the reception area to the treatment room; relax and watch television while having any dental procedure, and use the massage and heat features provided on every dental chair. Welcome Dr. DeSalvo at her new Englewood office and call to make an appointment today to discuss your dental needs. She will be happy to design a treatment plan tailored to accommodate your busy schedule.
