Marc J Pukenas D.M.D., M.A.G.D.

I believe that dental medicine is an integral cornerstone of the healthcare profession. Possessing the knowledge and skills to diagnose and treat oral diseases is a great responsibility that has led me to dedicate my professional life to treating such conditions, resolving problems, reversing damage, and restoring teeth and gums to the healthiest possible state. In addition, I help to educate all my patients, providing them with the practical daily guidelines necessary to maintain good oral health. For me, the most exciting part about dentistry is being able to improve a patient’s self-confidence by changing their smile. A beautiful smile transcends all languages.


​​Education and Experience

​

Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies—University of Delaware
Doctorate of Dental Medicine—Rutgers

Master in the Academy of General Dentistry (MAGD)

MAGD: To attain Mastership, members must first be Fellows in the AGD. To earn a Fellowship Award, a dentist must earn a minimum of 500 approved continuing dental education credits and pass a comprehensive 400-question examination. Then dentists must earn an additional 600 approved continuing education credits, meeting minimum requirements in certain dental disciplines, of which 400 hours are hands-on courses. Thus, a Master of the AGD has taken a total of 1,100 hours of continuing education. A Master has studied 16 disciplines in dentistry, such as Periodontics, Orthodontics, and Implants.
