Meet Gerard A. Begley, D.M.D

Dr. Gerard A. Begley is a nationally respected oral and maxillofacial surgeon with over 25 years of experience delivering life-changing results. Known for his surgical skill, gentle communication, and calm chairside manner, Dr. Begley has built a career defined by clinical excellence and genuine care.

He believes every patient deserves a thoughtful, personal experience. One where treatment decisions are made collaboratively, and outcomes are built to last. Whether you’re coming in for wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, or a complex full-arch solution, you can expect a surgical experience that balances precision with compassion.

Advanced Care for Complex Needs

Dr. Begley performs a full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery, including extractions, bone grafting, facial trauma repair, and surgical collaboration with referring dentists. While many surgeons offer All-on-Four dental implants, Dr. Begley is one of the few in New Jersey trained to place zygomatic implants, which provide a stable, long-term solution for patients with significant bone loss.

Every procedure is carefully tailored to the individual, and every treatment plan reflects a deep understanding of how oral health supports overall wellness.

“We take the extra time to explain procedures to patients and families so they understand how treatment decisions will positively impact their lives,” says Dr. Begley.

A New Jersey Monthly Top Dentist and board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Begley is recognized by his peers for his leadership and integrity. He has also served as Vice Chair of Dentistry at Morristown Medical and is a former President of the New Jersey Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

He is a proud examiner for the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, helping to shape the future of the profession by evaluating and certifying new generations of surgeons.
