Professional teeth whitening options include in-office Philips Zoom treatments achieving eight-shade improvements in 45 minutes and custom at-home tray systems. We ensure safe, lasting results tailored to individual sensitivity levels.

Clear aligners straighten teeth discreetly using custom trays replaced every two weeks. Treatment lasts six months to two years depending on complexity, offering comfort and convenience over traditional metal braces.

I cancelled an appointment and the receptionist seemed bothered by me doing so and was super rude. I was going to reschedule but she is etremely rude. Ruined it all and I will not be a new patient at this facility.

Dr. Kayne is the ultimate professional; the most experienced, caring, knowledgeable, and kind person you will ever meet. I feel honored to be his patient for over 20 years. His expertise spans the latest in all aspects of dental care, with degrees in both general dentistry and oral surgery from the best dental university in the world, coupled with extensive experience in the real world. His level of patient caring is what sets him apart. The Staff at Clifton Dental is priceless, as they emanate their 2 leaders in patient care and expertise. You can spend a lifetime looking for a great dentist,

Clifton Dental Associates is simply the best (and worth any travel)! There are plenty of reasons why the doctors have been featured in magazines and more. The atmosphere is most friendly and professional with consistent staff. Appointments are timely, yet waiting room is pleasant. Everyone stays current with knowledge and supports each other. I have been a patient "forever" and my daughter for over 15 years. From handling appointments, paperwork, linking with other professionals as needed, to fabulous hygenists (Linda is ours) & doctors (Dr. Tuckman and Dr. Kayne) we are grateful Clifton Dental

I have been coming here for years (before Kane and Tuckman took over) and have nothing but great things to say. Everything from the facility to the staff are grade A.

I highly recommend them and assure you that they will meet and exceed all of your dental needs and expectations.

I have been coming to Clifton dental for almost twenty years. Dr. Kayne and his incredible staff (especially Linda and Janet!) are truly like family. Lorraine and Lara know the patients by name and have always happily greeted me as I came in for my visits. Dr. Kayne knows each member of my family and has always asked us how we were doing in school, life, and eventually career. He even remembers what sports teams we root for! There is a remarkable homey feel when I walk through the office door. Everyone is courteous, professional, and exhibit amazing patient care. I would trust both Dr. Kayne and
