Dr. Nicholas Barrese, a highly skilled periodontist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, joined DiCesare Periodontal Health Specialists to bring fresh perspectives, advanced technologies, and a deeply patient-centered approach to care. From the start, Dr. Barrese has focused on elevating the patient experience by prioritizing comfort while delivering cutting-edge periodontal treatment.

Offering a full scope of periodontal care, Dr. Barrese remains committed to staying current with the latest advancements in the field, including the addition of a new Fotona laser to support precise, minimally invasive treatment. Affectionately known as “Dr. Mellow,” it is his calm presence and genuine attentiveness that patients appreciate most. A careful listener, he thoughtfully considers each patient’s unique health needs and is known for personally calling patients at home to check on them after procedures.

Patients frequently remark on the welcoming, home-like atmosphere of the office, enhanced by warm mid-century decor that helps put them at ease. Beyond the practice, Dr. Barrese is also actively engaged in the professional community. Alongside Dr. Anthony DiCesare, he serves as co-director of the Jersey Coast Dental Forum, creating a space for collaboration, shared learning, and open dialogue among dental leaders. He recently founded the Next Gen JCDF, a subdivision of the study club that provides a discussion space for young dentists.
