Christopher J. Catalano, D.D.S.
“Taking care of my patients and their family’s dental needs is my passion. Your smile is important to me and I want to make sure it is healthy. In addition to oral health, I believe that everyone deserves a smile they can be proud of. I have extensive experience in cosmetic dentistry, and have spent the last 18 years focusing on esthetic dentistry, especially smile makeovers and complex dental care. Listening to my patient’s specific goals and transforming their smiles to match these goals is what I do best. The genuine care and comfort of my patients is of utmost importance to me. I pledge to provide the finest aesthetic dental care available in the world right here in Montclair.”
