After 15 years in a group practice in Holmdel, Dr. Carolyn DeForte ventured out on her own to start her eponymous practice in July 2011. The 1996 graduate of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey has taught at Staten Island University Hospital’s residency program for 10 years, and participates in the Seattle Study Club, as well as The Pankey Institute.
“I felt a need not only for my patients, but for myself as well to go out solo,” says Dr. DeForte of Little Silver. “I love working in a solo practice because it enables me to develop the patient relationship. I know their needs better than when I was in a group. I was overwhelmed and honored at how many patients immediately joined me at DeForte Dentistry.”
Dr. DeForte emphasizes a “tell, show, do” philosophy. “I show (patients) everything so they can understand,” she says. “They can see it, understand it, and accept it. Patients understanding the treatment process is an important part of good patient rapport.”
Dr. DeForte is passionate about seeing patients of all ages in her beautiful office. “I wanted to make the office a very comfortable place with a personal touch yet also include the hi-tech equipment necessary in this progressive field,” says the mother of three. “I listen to all my patients, but don’t do anything they don’t want me to do. There is no pressure to undergo treatment they are not ready for. It’s just plain old honest, ethical, good dentistry at the highest level.”
Whether performing preventative, specialized, or cosmetic work, Dr. DeForte makes her patients’ well-being a priority. DeForte checks her patients for oral cancer, high blood pressure and has them undergo blood and saliva tests to test for diabetes and other diseases. She also emphasizes that plaque in the mouth can lead to plaque in the arteries. “It’s about healthy smiles and healthy living,” she says. “We care about you, not just your teeth.”
