Atanasio, DDS, MDS. A distinguished board-certified periodontist and implant surgeon, Dr. Atanasio blends advanced clinical expertise with an empathetic, patient-first philosophy, shaped in part by her years as a dental patient.

Having gone through extensive surgical and orthodontic treatments myself, I understand what its like to be in the dental chair, Dr. Atanasio shares. Those experiences taught me the value of clear communication and a gentle, supportive approach. Now Im passionate about creating that same experience for my patientshelping them feel informed, confident, and cared for every step of the way.

Dr. Atanasio specializes in a wide range of procedures, including periodontal surgery, dental implants, gum grafting, bone regeneration, esthetic gum contouring, LASER-assisted therapy, tooth extractions, and full-arch implant rehabilitation. By utilizing cutting-edge technologies like minimally invasive techniques and 3D imaging, she delivers precise, personalized care designed to achieve lasting oral health and confident smiles.

Dr. Atanasio earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Touro College of Dental Medicine, where she served as Student Government President for four years and graduated at the top of her class as a member of the prestigious Omicron Kappa Upsilon Dental Honor Society. She continued her training at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, completing a Master of Dental Science degree and advanced specialty education in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry.

Her commitment to leadership extends beyond the operatory. A former collegiate athlete in field hockey and rowing at Hobart & William Smith Colleges, Dr. Atanasio credits her athletic background for instilling discipline, teamwork, and a passion for serving others. She remains deeply involved in organized dentistry as a trustee of the New Jersey Society of Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, a member of two committees for the New Jersey Dental Association, and Vice President of Touro College of Dental Medicines Alumni Association. She is also the founder of The Social Smile Network, a community empowering women in dentistry to amplify their voices and grow their brands.

When shes not in the office, Dr. Atanasio enjoys staying active with her master's rowing team, traveling with her husband, Patrick Taranto, and trying new cuisines. They share their home with their energetic English Setter, Séamus.

Looking ahead, Dr. Atanasio plans to expand sedation options for anxious patients and lead community-based initiatives that bring healthcare professionals together to create a more connected, collaborative approach to care. By fostering these relationships, she aims to ensure patients receive comprehensive support that addresses not just their oral health, but their overall well-being.
