Dr. Paradiso is delighted to be joining Dr. John Graeber at his office in East Hanover.  He is looking forward to learning from Dr. Graeber expertise in laser dentistry and continuing to develop his skills as a general practitioner.  Dr. Paradiso hopes to see many familiar faces in the office and in his chair.

Areas of Work:

What I feel comfortable doing:

  • Most routine / surgical extractions
  • Peds

What I want to do more of but need guidance

  • Surgeries
    • Perio
    • Implant
    • More complex extractions
  • Molar Endo
    • I like it but want to get more efficient at it
  • Laser dentistry
  • Treatment planning
    • I think there is always things to learn and something I’m not seeing
  • Peds:
    • SSC / Pulpotomies
  • Ortho
    • Invisalign type of stuff

I personally think I can get better at everything.  I have confidence in most things more look to be more proficient.  Taking hands on CE or CE in general will help.  My goals are on Fridays to try and get some online CE /Webinars in to build more on my education to provide for our patients.  I think getting involved with some invsalign or clear tray ortho can help appeal to the adult / younger generation looking for this type of work.
