  As someone who’s been going to Dr Liberto for well over 25 years, I can absolutely assure you that you’ll receive the best care possible.

From the minute you walk in the door of the beautifully appointed front office you’re greeted immediately by Kim who always makes me feel valued and appreciated.

Once whisked away to any of the spa-like rooms for a cleaning or something else, you can’t help but notice how clean (and I’m talking seriously sterile) everything is.

The hygienists are top notch. While none of us enjoy a trip to the dentist, these girls have a way of making you feel less nervous, apprehensive, and scared. Never once did I have to worry they’d hit a nerve 😩, jab a little too hard with that little metal tool, or make me cry out of pain in the chair.

Dr Liberto has my complete and total trust. That’s huge when it comes to teeth!! It’s my appearance we’re talking about and we all know how important a dazzling smile is!!

As far as procedures go, I’ve had them all from cavities filled, root canals, deep root scraping, to veneers - all performed by him and perfectly done - every time.

He’s got a great bedside (chair side?) manner in addition to being extremely knowledgeable on what’s current. He’s also very personable and funny as hell. That in itself takes the edge off if you’re scared of the dentist.

I moved out of his area roughly 18 years ago and have absolutely no qualms about driving an hour north for my appointments, or the hour back home. It’s worth the travel time to go to someone who treats you like family.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank YOU, Dr Liberto and team for making my trips to the dentist actually pleasant!! ❤️

  Dr. Liberto is the best dentist I’ve ever been to and I do not like dentists. He is very mindful of the patient’s comfort and knows exactly what he’s doing. It’s nice to have finally found an expert in this field. I did not know what I was missing. If you’re like me and you didn’t like going to the dentist it’s because you haven’t been going to the right dentist. Go to Dr. Liberto and you will see the difference. A++++++

  I have been going to Clara Barton in Edison and thought the work was great. Fast forward to now and I now realize the work was awful. Thank goodness I found Dr. Liberto. He diagnosed the issue, checked it all out, came up with a game plan and a way to execute it immediately. Dr. Liberto and his team are incredible. You will not regret going to see him.
