MONTCLAIR MAGAZINE’S TOP DENTISTS 2020 Lawrence Sheer, DDS, PA TRI-COUNTY ENDODONTICS | 791 PASSAIC AVENUE | CLIFTON | 973-471-7500 | TRICOUNTYENDODONTICS.COM DR. LAWRENCE SHEER, A RECOGNIZED LEADER IN ENDODONTIC CARE, GOES TO WORK EVERY DAY LOOKING FORWARD TO ACHIEVING THE SAME GOAL: SAVING THE TEETH OF HIS PATIENTS. “MY OFFICE MOTTO IS ‘WE SAVE TEETH,’” HE SAYS. Dr. Sheer’s focus is microsurgical dentistry. Beyond a comprehensive degree in dentistry, the doctor completed additional training in endodontics through a specialized, accredited residency. “Everything I do is inside the tooth, usually using a microscope to repair things the naked eye can’t see,” Dr. Sheer explains. A strong believer in using a team approach, the doctor feels very fortunate to work closely with a number of gifted general dentists, specialists and personal physicians to coordinate efforts and ensure that good oral health is part of the overall well-being of his patients. By continuing to invest in his office, Dr. Sheer offers cutting-edge treatments and the latest techniques in modern endodontic care. “If there is any way that I can increase the percentage of success for my patients, I’m going to explore that technology,” he says. His practice was the first in New Jersey to have installed a3-D cone beam scan machine and the first in the state to use the GentleWave® procedure which employs multisonic sound wave energy to remove debris from a tooth. “This minimally invasive procedure provides a more efficient cleaning than previous conventional methods,” continues Dr. Sheer. “This delivers the advantage of superior sterilization of canal space with removal of less tooth structure.” Lawrence Sheer Dr. Sheer received the prestigious Dr. George Feldman Memorial Award for Endodontic Excellence from District II of the American Association of Endodontics in 2017 and is a former president of the New Jersey Association of Endodontists.
