Robert Montemurno, DMD

Meet Dr. Montemurno

I have the privilege of working with Drs. Brosnan and Clark and our staff in the service of our patients. Being a parent myself, I am honored and inspired that parents entrust their children to our care. We provide state-of-the-art care with the latest technology, so that we can attain as ideal a treatment as possible for our patients. We treat all children as if they were our own, and the greatest compliment I have received is treating the children of our adult patients or of our former adolescent patients! It is a continuous joy having such a positive impact on our patients’ lives; it is the defining mission of our practice.

My interest in dentistry, and orthodontics in particular, stemmed from my father, who was a dental laboratory technician and an inspiration to me professionally. He instilled in me a desire to help people and the discipline to provide the highest quality of care. It is a particular honor and privilege to be of service to my patients and to deliver state-of-the-art orthodontic treatment, in order to give them a beautiful smile and proper oral function.

Outside the office

Originally from Parsippany, NJ, I have lived in Clifton for the past 28 years. My wife Cheryl is a medical doctor in the area, and we have two children, Melissa and Matthew. I spend much of my free time in the great outdoors, doing anything from gardening to hiking and skiing. I am also interested in photography and amateur astronomy.

I have served on the board of the Boys and Girls Club of Clifton for more than 25 years, having started a tutoring program for academically at-risk children, which helps them with reading, math, and science. It continues to be a joy to help kids in Clifton, providing a safe place for them to thrive and excel.
