A former teacher and Medical Technologist, Dr. Marra Alcantara believes that educating patients about their oral health is very important. Treatment is explained in detail to help her patients understand what is happening with their oral health, taking time to individually explain the problems and solutions unique to each patient. She brings this philosophy to her new office, with digital x-rays and intraoral camera allowing patients to witness their treatment first hand. Her knowledge, and willingness to educate her patients have set her apart and built her reputation as the dentist who takes the time to explain things among her growing number of patients. She graduated from the New York University College of Dentistry and completed advanced training at the VA Hospital of East Orange, NJ. She is highly skilled in many aspects of dentistry: preventative, restorative, prosthodontic, endodontic, and pediatric, periodontics, oral surgery and cosmetic dentistry and she continues to enhance her skills through continuing education courses and training. Now she has built her brand new office in Jersey City, NJ and is taking new patients. She has incorporated the latest technology, using digital x-rays and an intra-oral camera. The Practice uses paperless charts, and is amalgam free. FLEXIBLE HOURS AVAILABLE.
