Dr. Tucker's bio
This content was provided by Dr. Tucker "My profession comes with a responsibility to provide the best care I can every day to all my patients. I also have the opportunity to try to deliver results which meet or exceed expectations. It is an honor to be trusted with improving a person's smile, which is a precious asset. This will be my 28th year practicing orthodontics, and I still truly love what I do. A nice smile can change a person's whole demeanor, improve self–confidence, and simply make someone a happier person. It's hard to be happy without smiling, and it's hard to smile if you're unhappy with your smile. I see many patients who feel uncomfortable smiling at the initial consultation. The purpose of my job is to change this, helping each patient acquire a smile they are truly proud of at the completion of treatment. Helping someone attain a healthy, happy smile is always rewarding, and it is the reason I come to work each day. EDUCATION AND CONTINUING EDUCATION For my orthodontic education, I attained the following educational certificates: American Board of Orthodontics Board Certified Undergraduate degree, New York University DDS and Orthodontic Graduate Program, NYU College of Dentistry Dental Residency Program, Eastman Dental Center, University of Rochester I attend continuing education courses to stay current with the latest orthodontic treatment to ensure I am providing the best care possible for my patients. As a part of my studies, I am an active member of the American Association of Orthodontists, and the Northeast Society of Orthodontists. I also attend Second District Dental Society continuing education courses, Invisalign® courses, and TAD courses. PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATIONS American Association of Orthodontists American Dental Association New England Society of Orthodontists New York State Dental Association Second District Dental Association FAMILY AND COMMUNITY I am originally from Brooklyn, and have lived in East Brunswick, New Jersey for almost 20 years.
