Dr. Christopher Emma is proud to serve the Monmouth and Ocean County communities, where he still has family and many friends residing locally.  After graduating from Brick Township High School in 1992, he then went on to receive his Bachelor’s Degree in Science at Montclair State University.  Graduating with honors and receiving many awards for his academic achievements, Dr. Emma decided to pursue a career in dentistry.  In 1997, Dr. Christopher Emma entered the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, New Jersey Dental School.  While attending U.M.D.N.J., he was a member of several societies and received numerous achievement awards.  Dr. Emma graduated from the New Jersey Dental School at the top of his class in May of 2001. His dad, Anthony Emma, was a carpenter for many years and always stressed to him the importance of craftsmanship and quality, and standing behind your work.  This philosophy is what drove Dr. Emma’s achievements and why he has become such a truly talented general dentist today.

Dr. Emma has put together a team that is highly motivated and professional that will be serving their patients to ensure they have a positive, worry-free visit at Encore Dental.  Dr. Emma believes in striving to make sure every patient has a pleasant experience from the first phone call to each and every visit.  Whether it’s oral surgery, endodontics (root canals), periodontics (gums), or preventative care, his team is ready to take care of all of your dental needs.  Dr. Emma’s philosophy is “The Patient Always Comes First,” and you will experience that as soon as you walk into his waiting room.
