Spend just a few minutes with Dr. Dionne and his love and genuine compassion for dentistry are radiated throughout his every word and emotion. “I allow a lot of time - never double book - to get to know each one of my patients. Each patient gets the complete attention of myself and my assistant, particularly to figure out the cause of any problems and how to alleviate any future complications,” explains Dr. Dionne. “The reasons I love what I do are countless. I am able to combine years of practical experience to relieve pain, give people their smiles back or witness a proud child who feels a great sense of accomplishment after his first visit to the dentist.” Dr. Dionne specializes in general dentistry and full mouth rehabilitation. He has both advanced training and considerable experience in reconstructive and cosmetic dentistry. And it all began in childhood when he and a friend started a landscaping business to earn extra money. A customer was a dentist and showed Dr. Dionne his lab and models. Something just clicked and he knew this would be his career path. After earning his undergraduate degree from Temple University, Dr. Dionne received his dental degree from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. In 1993, he assumed the practice of a retiring dentist in Montclair. Today he has created a state-of-the-art practice and has invested in equipment including technology for cancer screening and advanced imagery machinery for before, during and after treatments. During most procedures, patients can enjoy a movie or relaxation tape on a flat panel monitor attached to their chair. As part of his continuing education, Dr. Dionne travels to Scottsdale, AZ, to participate in a Spear Study Group. He is also part of a local Spear Study Group where dentists and specialists gather on a monthly basis to discuss their more complex cases, enhance clinical skills, and confer with their colleagues. To further demonstrate his commitment to providing superior oral care, the practice has a membership in The Pankey Institute, a non-profit organization dedicated to the commitment of excellence in dentistry and advanced dental education. 82 MONTCLAIR MAGAZINE BACK TO SCHOOL 2016 SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION
