When families enter the practice of pediatric dentist Dr. Helen Tong and orthodontist Dr. Rene S. Johe, they aren’t met with a traditional dental office. The modern, state-of-the-art season-themed space features a playroom, tactile wall panels, and ceiling-mounted televisions—all intended to create a safe, positive and comfortable environment for patients. “We specifically designed our office to be a fun place for children,” Dr. Johe says.

Encouraging Kids to Be Cavity-Free

An all-digital paperless practice, CreatingSmiles provides personalized care and the most advanced dental techniques for children and adults. The doctors specialize in infant oral health and apprehensive patients, and offer sedation dentistry as well as interceptive and comprehensive orthodontics.

“We’re not just about brushing and counting teeth—our goal is to provide an interactive, enjoyable experience that encourages children to become cavity-free,” says Dr. Tong. “We’re all about having a good time.”

The Gift of Beautiful Smiles

Both Dr. Johe and Dr. Tong actively educate dental residents in their respective specialties at prominent teaching centers. Dr. Tong teaches at NYU/Lutheran Medical Center and has hospital privileges at Saint Barnabas Medical Center. Dr. Johe teaches at the Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, where he completed an extensive program in clinical orthodontics while participating in the prestigious Dental Scientist Award research program. He is a past president of the New Jersey Association of Orthodontists.

“It’s a privilege to bestow the gift of a beautiful smile onto my patients—a gift that has been scientifically shown to boost self-confidence, increase social interaction, and improve long-term success in life,” Dr. Johe says.
