Forget everything you think you know about going to the dentist. At Roman Dental Arts, you won’t find a sterile corporate environment or a revolving door of unfamiliar faces. Instead, you’ll encounter something increasingly rare: a practice where two generations of dental expertise have created an experience that feels more like visiting family than having a medical procedure.
Dr. Alissa M. Roman and Dr. Donald J. Roman aren’t just colleagues; they’re a father-daughter team united by an unwavering mission: to help every patient achieve and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime.
Dr. Alissa and Dr. Donald combine decades of proven expertise with the latest dental innovations, creating a practice that’s both advanced and refreshingly personal. From routine cleanings to complex restorative work, you’ll receive the focused attention and skilled care that comes from working with dentists who genuinely know you and your dental history.
Come meet Dr. Alissa and Dr. Donald Roman and discover how “Our Family Cares for Your Family.”
Dr. Alissa Roman blends clinical expertise with a warm, approachable style that makes patients feel truly cared for. As the daughter of Roman Dental Arts founder Dr. Donald Roman, she grew up immersed in the world of dentistry, spending her earliest days in the office playfully exploring while her parents cared for patients. That early exposure shaped her deep appreciation for the human side of healthcare.
Dr. Roman earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. She also holds a Master’s in Biology from Montclair State University and a dual Bachelor’s degree in Biology and Anthropology from Fordham University. Her academic path reflects her curiosity about both the science of the body and the stories behind every smile.
Beyond the clinic, Dr. Roman has a heart for service. She’s provided outreach dental care to underserved communities in the Allegheny Mountains. She is laser-certified through the Academy of Laser Dentistry, a certified SureSmile provider, and is on track to earn her Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry.
When she’s not in the office, you’ll likely find Dr. Roman hiking the trails of northern New Jersey with her loyal dog, Sully, or catching a tennis match, either on the court or cheering courtside as a lifelong tennis enthusiast. Her love for the outdoors and the game of tennis reflects the same energy and focus she brings to your care.
