Dr. Gedalya Rapoport, DMD

Dr. Gedalya Rapoport is the owner of Dr. Gedalya Rapoport & Associates in Pomona, where he has cared for Rockland County families since moving to the area with his own family in 2005. He brings more than 38 years of professional experience to the chair, paired with current technology for minimally invasive dentistry.

He received his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine through its Advanced Standing Program. He is a registered dentist in the State of New York and a member of the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, and the New York State Dental Association, and he holds an Associate Fellowship within the World Clinical Laser Institute.

A conservative approach. The practice’s stated priority is gentle, compassionate care and lasting patient relationships, with treatment kept as conservative and minimally invasive as the clinical situation allows. Patients in his Google reviews return to the same themes: that he explains what he is doing in plain language, that he is patient and gentle, and that he looks for the option that preserves the tooth — several describe him finding a way to restore a badly broken tooth and avoid a root canal altogether.

His day-to-day work covers family dentistry for all ages, cleanings and exams, cavity treatment and cosmetic fillings, crowns and bridges, dental implants, dentures, bonding, teeth whitening, toothache care and dental emergencies. Root canal therapy is handled in-house by the practice’s endodontist, so complex nerve treatment generally does not require a referral elsewhere.

Away from the office, Dr. Rapoport spends time with his family, travels, and photographs — his work from Rome, Israel and Colorado is displayed throughout the practice, and patients are invited to browse it while they wait.
