General Care
Our General Care includes but is not limited to annual checkups and cleanings. Our staff also focuses on working with our patients to develop and maintain a proper dental routine in order to prevent dental diseases and maintain healthy teeth and a beautiful smile.
Oral Surgery
Oral surgery is a broad term for any operation performed on your teeth, gums, jaw or surrounding oral and facial structures. It includes a wide range of procedures, including teeth extractions and dental bone grafts. All of which we are proud to offer our patients in our state-of-the-art facility.
Restorative Care
Our restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth. These procedures help improve oral health and function. Common dental restorations include sealants, fillings, crowns and bridges.
Cosmetic Care
Imperfections in your smile can leave you unconfident and uncomfortable with your smile, but with the proper cosmetic care your smile can become your source of confidence. We offer a wide range of cosmetic care to help improve and restore those imperfections and have smiling with confidence.
Root Canal
Root canal therapy is needed when the nerve of a tooth is affected by decay or infection. In order to save the tooth, the pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth), nerves, bacteria, and any decay are removed and the resulting space is filled with special, medicated, dental material, which restore the tooth to its full function. Having a root canal done on a tooth is the treatment of choice to save a tooth that otherwise would die and have to be removed. Many patients believe that removing a tooth that has problems is the solution, but what is not realized is that extracting (pulling) a tooth will ultimately be more costly and cause significant problems for adjacent teeth. Our first choice will always be to save a tooth that can be saved to preserve our patients overall oral health.
Dentures
Over time, people's teeth tend to naturally deteriorate. When a tooth has deteriorated substantially, it often needs to be extracted; and when multiple teeth are extracted, dentures may be the most appropriate solution. Dentures can create a natural and healthy-looking set of teeth. In addition, a properly fitting set of dentures can greatly enhance your smile and sense of self-esteem. Complete dentures are used when few original teeth remain. The dentist begins by removing any remaining teeth so the dentures can be fitted. The doctor then makes an impression of the gums and sends it to a dental lab where customized dentures are constructed. Partial dentures are prepared in much the same way as a complete set and are utilized when only a few teeth are missing. When you first get your new dentures, it may feel uncomfortable because the gums and tissue are not accustomed to being in contact with man-made relining material. Once placed, dentures should be worn continually for the first few days to reduce the amount of swelling that may occur in the mouth. This swelling typically subsides in two to three days. Until patients adjust to their new set of teeth, the dentures may feel loose and awkward while chewing food. Eating soft food may be necessary for the first few days. Reading aloud helps to overcome any speech impediments that may occur from the new dentures. Typically, lower dentures take longer to get used to than upper dentures. The underlying jawbone may take several months to completely heal and become accustomed to the dentures. Once this occurs, the dentist removes the dentures and creates a permanent lining for your teeth (a denture lining is the soft material that cushions the contact between the denture and the gum tissues).

Yevgeniya Costa
Dr. Lina Koffman is the best dentist I've ever been to. I met her in Queens NYC when she was a two minute walk from my apartment. Since then I've moved a couple of times and have continued to go to her. She's helped me diagnose a problem with my wisdom tooth pushing into another tooth which caused pain. Most recently, I broke a tooth. I hadn't yet established a dental practice near the new town where I moved in Pennsylvania (I went to one and had the most painful experience and decided not to go back). So when I chipped my tooth, I called Dr. Lina's practice willing to travel two hours to see her. Instead, I found out she's moved to New Jersey, and was only an hour away so I was overjoyed! I called her new practice immediately, and she came in on a Sunday just to see me and checked my entire family. Furthermore, she helped ease my worries as the new dentist I tried near me was fear-mongering me into doing work that was unnecessary. Dr. Lina has a knack for remembering her patients teeth so she knew mine hadn't changed, and she would never suggest unnecessary procedures. She is an absolute saint and I will always continue to travel any distance to see her!

Dr. Koffman was absolutely amazing! She got me in right away when I was experiencing dental pain. If you want a dentist that actually cares and that works with you I would 110% recommend Dr. Koffman. Dr. Koffman also saw my two year old rambunctious daughter and was soooo great with her! My daughter loved playing with the toys and was super excited about picking a prize after her first ever dentist appointment! The entire staff was extremely nice and the atmosphere was very welcoming! The staff even entertained and played with my daughter while they fixed up my tooth. It’s very hard to find a caring dentist with staff that’s personable, attentive, and professional but at Dr. Koffmans office they check all those boxes. I highly recommend using Dr. Koffman for both adults and children based off my experience… definitely a 10/10!

Dr Koffman is a GREAT Dentist!!! She is so very professional and kind at the same time. She explains everything that she is doing especially when it comes to a complicated issue. She cares for each patient of hers no matter what the dental concern, she is there for you😊😊 I am so glad that she took over Dr Graber’s practice when he retired! My husband and I don’t mind going to the dentist anymore!!!

Fantastic I was so afraid of dentists and put off work too many years. They put me at ease from first phone call. A root canal, no pain! I can't say enough praise. All staff are above and beyond. Same night I recommended to friend.

It was our first time coming to see Dr. Koffman. She was very kind and sweet to our kids. Both of my kids loved her. We will be coming back for future appointments. We loved how she explains things and engaged with us. She made our kids feel very comfortable. It’s a very nice office, clean and state of the art equipment. I would highly recommend coming back and would definitely refer family and friends.
