Meet Our Amazing Team

Doctors

DR. MERYL BAURMASH

Orthodontist

I find it incredibly gratifying to make positive changes in someone's smile.

It is also wonderful to observe the increased confidence and self-esteem that a healthy, beautiful smile can foster.

I value the relationships that often develop through the course of treatment and feel privileged to have the opportunity to make a positive impact on someone's life.


Together we can embark on our orthodontic journey creating your Smile for a Lifetime.

As an orthodontist, I believe it is essential for me to constantly continue my education. This enables me to offer my patients the most advanced treatment options and the highest quality care. Part of my continuing education is my appointment as a Clinical Instructor at the University Of Pennsylvania School Of Dental Medicine, in the Department of Orthodontics, for over 15 years. The interaction between students, other faculty members and myself has given me the opportunity to learn the most cutting edge techniques. In addition, I am a Member in the American Association of Orthodontists, The Mid-Atlantic Society, American Dental Association, The Tri-County Dental Society, and the New Jersey Association of Orthodontists.
