Meet The Dental Team

“We are very privileged to be working with such a gifted, intelligent and dedicated group of dental professionals” -Dr. Tong and LaCap

Laarni Villajuan, Client Care Coordinator and Office Manager

Laarni has a Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition. She has a calmness about her that will make you feel comfortable, welcomed and unhurried. Laarni will be the first voice you hear when you call our Bergenfield dental office and the first person to welcome you into our office.

When you meet Laarni, you will realize that the smile she has on her face means she’s genuinely happy to see you. She will help you maximize your insurance, work with your budget and help you find a convenient appointment time.

Joanne Pascual, Registered Dental Assistant, Clinical care coordinator

If Joanne seems more knowledgeable than the average dental assistant, it’s because she is. Joanne was a dentist in the Philippines and has a dental degree from Centro Escolar University.

Joanne has a way of explaining dentistry and dental treatment to patients in a way our patients can understand.

She is great in helping our patients make the right decisions for themselves.

When Joanne is not in the office assisting Dr. Tong in his quest for giving every patient that perfect smile, Joanne keeps busy with her husband, Sam, their daughter Samantha and their son Jacob.

Joanne has a way of making our patients comfortable and relaxed during treatment - almost as if they were in their own living room watching TV.

Thanks Joanne, you’re a pleasure in the office!
