Meet Your Top New Jersey Dentist, Dr. Allison M. Adams

Dr. Allison M. Adams, recognized as one of the Top Dentists in 2010 and 2011 in New Jersey by New Jersey Monthly Magazine, was born and raised in Madison, New Jersey, and is proud to deliver comprehensive dental care to her friends and neighbors. She completed her undergraduate studies in 1985 at the College of St. Elizabeth and went on to study dentistry at the UMDNJ-New Jersey Dental School, graduating in 1991.

Over the past 21 years she has traveled the country and spent hundreds of hours in seminars, study clubs and other continuing education courses in order to stay current on advances in the field. She has completed a comprehensive post-graduate program in orthodontics. Dr. Adams has dedicated herself to the art and science of cosmetic and aesthetic dentistry.

As a Certified Invisalign Premier Provider and member of numerous orthodontic organizations for general dentists, Dr. Adams is able to incorporate tooth movement, be it minor or major, to supplement a patient’s care. She looks at the whole face when designing a treatment plan, and with children she takes into consideration future growth and its potential impact.

As a member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, Dr. Adams is able to help diagnose and treat both snoring and sleep apnea. She recognizes the importance of a good night’s sleep and knows that whether it is “just snoring” that is disturbing a bed partner, or the more dangerous Obstructive Sleep Apnea that puts you at higher risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke and diabetes, these situations can be treated with the use of a customized oral appliance.

Dr. Adams, who understands the importance of treating the whole patient, realizes that dental care should not be “one-size-fits-all” and that open communication with her patients will ultimately lead to excellent treatment and a very satisfied patient.

Her approach is consistently more than “smile-deep,” as demonstrated by some of her key capabilities:

• Recognizing airway issues in children that can impair tooth and jaw development as well as breathing and sleeping
• Intervening early to improve jaw development for long-term aesthetics and dental health
• Identifying and treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea to help control associated issues such as high blood pressure, difficulties with weight loss, and depression
• Educating and providing solutions to cavity-prone patients
• Making cosmetic changes that can minimize the effects of aging
• Taking blood pressure, doing regular oral cancer screening and discussing general medical issues and providing physician referrals if indicated
