Our Story

Dr. Joy has practiced dentistry since 1984. She received her first dental degree from Yon Sei University in South Korea. She then continued her academic career to achieve her master’s degree in public dentistry and her Ph.D. in forensic dentistry while maintaining her own private practice. After immigrating to the United States, she received a dental degree from Henry Goldman School of Dentistry at Boston University.

In 2002, Dr. Joy opened the door to Joy Dental in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, with confidence in every aspect of clinical dentistry.. Then she relocated to Ridgewood, NJ, in 2017 to expand her practice, thriving and growing to over 9000 patients with her. It is a warm, family-oriented dental office, and one that always strives to keep ahead with cutting-edge technology. To mention a few, the office utilizes digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, single-visit crowns, dental lasers, and 3D cone-beam radiographs.

Dr. Joy is a member of the American Dental Association, the New Jersey Dental Association, and the Bergen Dental Society. She is also a member of the American General Dentistry and was awarded Fellow of General Dentistry in 2011 in recognition of her lifelong dental education. She actively participates in many professional seminars and has traveled all over the country, always in search of the newest and best technology. In her spare time, she indulges in oil painting and displays her creations at the office to share the joy of painting with her patients. If you would like to enjoy her paintings, click here.

Dr. Joy is an excellent dentist and so is her staff. She makes recommendations on what needs to be done and offers options. I have had good results with her care. Additionally Meka, the front desk manager, is amazing. She is smart, proactive and follows up. She checks your insurance to make sure you have the appropriate coverage prior to your work being done. She exercises patient-care with a smile.

I was at Dr Joy's Dental Clinic this morning, 9/25/24 for a rather complicated procedure and everything turned out fine. I would give it the highest rating. Thanks.
