Dr. Alissa M. Roman, DDS

Where Compassion Meets Craft, Where Every Smile Has a Story.

For Dr. Alissa Roman, dentistry isn’t just a profession : it’s part of her DNA.

Growing up in the heart of Roman Dental Arts, she spent her childhood exploring the office halls while her parents cared for generations of patients. Those early memories are filled with laughter, learning, and the quiet confidence of watching her father work sparked a lifelong passion for helping people feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for.

Today, Dr. Roman brings that same warmth and dedication to every patient she meets. Her approach is simple: combine clinical excellence with heartfelt connection. Whether you’re here for a routine visit or a complete smile transformation, she takes the time to understand your story, because to her, every smile is personal.

Dr. Roman earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, building on a strong academic foundation that includes a Master’s in Biology from Montclair State University and dual Bachelor’s degree in Biology and Anthropology from Fordham University. Her studies reflect a deep curiosity not just about how the body works, but about the people behind every patient chart.

She’s also committed to giving back. From providing outreach care in the Allegheny Mountains to staying at the forefront of modern dentistry as a laser-certified provider and SureSmile certified Doctor. Dr. Roman is always learning, always growing, and always giving her best.

Outside the office, you’ll find her hiking the trails of northern New Jersey with her loyal dog, Sully, or cheering on a tennis match with the same energy and focus she brings to her work.

With Dr. Roman, you’re not just getting a dentist — you’re gaining a trusted partner in your lifelong health and confidence.

Ready to experience care that feels like family? Let’s make your smile unforgettable.

A Lifetime of Smiles, Rooted in Community

Born and raised in the area he now serves, Dr. Roman’s journey into dentistry began with a simple belief: that everyone deserves to feel good about their smile. After earning his DMD from Fairleigh Dickinson University School of Dental Medicine in 1983, he began his career as a Commissioned Officer in the U.S. Public Health Service, where he served as Acting Director of Dentistry at the Camden County Family Dental Center. That early experience shaped his lifelong commitment to compassionate, community-focused care.

Dr. Roman is recognized for combining cutting-edge technology with a warm, personal approach. He’s a firm believer in lifelong learning, and he and his team dedicate countless hours to advanced training in the latest dental innovations, from implantology to laser dentistry and beyond. His credentials speak volumes:

  • Associate Fellow, American Academy of Implant Dentistry
  • Diplomate, American Society of Osseointegration
  • Fellow, International Congress of Oral Implantologists
  • Editorial Board Member, Dental Town Magazine
  • Named one of America’s Top Dentists for over 22 years

But what truly sets Dr. Roman apart is his heart for the community. A lifelong resident of Bergen County, he’s deeply involved in local causes, from supporting youth sports and local charities to serving as Past President of the River Edge-Oradell-New Milford Rotary Club. He’s also active in the Gift of Life Foundation, River Edge Lions Club, UNICO, and the local Chamber of Commerce.
