Prosthodontics
Dentists can treat these conditions, but prosthodontists specialize in the design, fabrication, and placement of crowns, bridges, and more. At Ridgewood Dental Associates in Ridgewood, NJ, we have undergone advanced training in prosthodontics to provide the best results.
What Is a Prosthodontist?
Prosthodontics is a dental specialty that focuses on the planning, production, and implementation of artificial teeth. A prosthodontist undergoes advanced education and training, uses the latest techniques and technology, and can treat complex dental issues. We are proud to have two highly qualified prosthodontists on the team at Ridgewood Dental Associates.
Dr. Mark F. Samani
Our resident prosthodontist, Mark Samani, is renowned for his skill and knowledge in this dentistry specialty. He completed a prestigious postdoctoral prosthodontic program here in New Jersey and has served as the prosthodontic advisor for a number of dental study clubs. As the son of an endodontist, Dr. Samani has long had a passion for helping patients enjoy beautiful, functional smiles through advanced care.
Dr. Jin Ha Joung
Dr. Joung received his dental degree from the University of Pennsylvania. He went on to complete a 5-year intensive combined program in Prosthodontics and Periodontics at UConn, where he earned recognition for excellence from the American College of Prosthodontists. He blends his passion for prosthodontics and cutting-edge dental technology to ensure his patients enjoy the highest standard of care available.

My experience at RDA surpassed exceptional including the work of the welcoming, friendly, patient, professional support staff. Dr. Joung provided sensitivity, patience, and the highest level of expertise while working with me to create a restoration that met my absolute approval. Dentists and professional staff constantly tell me that they are unable to identify which tooth was restored following the implant. I am forever grateful to Dr. Joung and recommend him highly without reservation.

Why Choose a Prosthodontist Over a Dentist?
Inexperience Can Put Your Oral Health at Risk
Dental work completed purely for the sake of aesthetics is bound to fail early. Many of our competitors do quick work that looks nice at first, but when it simply masks underlying dental problems, it won't hold up. In other cases, restorations may be placed sloppily or incorrectly, which can create more problems for your teeth and oral health. In the end, the restorations may not last long, become damaged, or even fall out.
A Specialist Can Preserve Your Smile for Life
When you choose the prosthodontists at our Ridgewood, NJ, office, you can rest assured that quality and patient satisfaction are our top priorities. We focus solely on producing the most durable and longest-lasting results. No matter how simple or complicated your care plan, our experts know how to build a strong smile. With proper at-home care and routine checkups, it is not uncommon for our work to last a lifetime.

Just relocated from NYC and yesterday I had a very serious dental emergency so I called up RDA to see if they’d be willing to fit me in for an emergency appt even though I wasn’t a patient. They immediately gave me same day appointment and also fixed my issue without any hesitation.

Dr. Joung is thorough and I feel confident in the care I'm receiving as he explains things and makes sure to answer all my questions. Really appreciate that there is a separate room where you deal with the financial aspects and next appointments, as opposed to in the general waiting area in front of others like some other offices I've been in.
