Restorative dentistry is an art not a science and I have found Dr. Jay Schuster to be an honest, diligent practitioner in that field and would recommend him to others. I was an occasional patient in his earlier practices in Linden and Clark and then as a result of my own bad habits .. 30 years of smoking a pipe .. I was to see him intensively over a 3 year period as he prepped me for implants and extensive restoration. I would not wish on anyone the chair-time and expense of such a total makeover, it did provide a stage for Jay to demonstrate both his own skills and character. I was always impressed by Jay’s interest and critical understanding of new technology and materials in prosthodontics. I believe his knowledge in these fields earned him the respect of professionals in implant surgery and restoration construction who were vital to my care. A complex, empirical procedure such as the one I underwent, had the potential for unexpected problems. Even when they occurred there was no finger-pointing at the other guy. Such collegial team-work is testimony to the respect these other professionals have for Jay and provided comforting security to me as Jay’s patient. Jay is also a real nice guy. And that helps when you have to see him over and over again! I strongly recommend him to you for both simple and complex procedures.
