ERNESTA PARISI, DMD
Dr. Ernesta Parisi, a lifelong resident of Wayne, NJ, knew from an early age that she would
someday be a doctor. It wasn’t until college that she discovered the wonderful profession of
dentistry. She graduated from Stevens Institute of Technology with a Bachelor’s Degree in
Chemical Biology and received her doctoral degree from Rutgers School of Dental Medicine
(formerly UMDNJ). What makes Dr. Parisi unique is that, in addition to her degree in dentistry, she pursued her passion for both medicine and dentistry at the University of
Pennsylvania where she completed a Fellowship in Oral Medicine. This area of dentistry
focuses on the diagnosis and management of disorders affecting the mouth and facial
regions and on the dental management of medically complex patients. Dr. Parisi became a n
Assistant Professor at Rutgers Dental School, where she taught for almost 5 years. During
that time, she became a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Medicine in 2004.
She turned to general dentistry and began her own practice in Totowa in 2009 after deciding it was a more satisfying fit with family life. She now treats adults and children, and very
often entire families. She offers a full range of dental procedures including cleanings, fillings,
crowns, bridges, restorative dentures, extractions, veneers, implants and preventive care. She
integrates her Oral Medicine background with general dentistry. Dr. Parisi explains that she
approaches patients from a diagnostic perspective. This means she seeks to determine the
underlying cause of a patient’s complaint, rather than simply just fixing the problem for the
moment. Patients appreciate the effort Dr. Parisi and her staff put into their overall care. They
diagnose the problem, educate patients about the cause, and find a solution that works best
for them. What is most rewarding to the dentist is making her patients happy with their
smiles and improving the health of their mouth. “We are a caring group of people who want
patients to be comfortable,” she says. The comfort extends to those who are facing financial
difficulties. Dr. Parisi works with patients to develop manageable payment plans. Dr. Parisi is
a member of the American Dental Association, New Jersey Dental Association, Passaic
County Dental Association and the American Academy of Oral Medicine.
