Dr. Anthony Vocaturo has given countless celebrities, pageant winners, and lesser mortals that enviable well-aligned set of pearly whites everyone dreams of. Armed with credentials from the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the American Society of Dental Aesthetics, he’s chalked out an illustrious career in restorative dentistry at the NJ Smile Center.

New to his repertoire is an exciting project, a prestigious learning institute where Dr. Vocaturo is not only the founding director, but also teaches live patient and clinical courses. Said Vocaturo of his new venture, “We have a roster of top certified dentists and speakers from all over the country providing not just advanced dental education but also a collaborative learning environment with a focus on hands-on training. Our courses are tailored to dentists, hygienists, dental assistants, and administrative staff making it an extensive program.” The pandemic may have temporarily postponed the center’s construction but with plans to start schedules as early as next month, the institute is now ready to hit the ground running. njsmilecenter.com
