Meet the doctor
Implant surgeon, teacher of implant surgery, and a dentist his patients describe as calm, careful and honest. He plans every case with the same care he teaches other dentists to use.
His story
Dr. GiTae Kwon, originally from South Korea and raised in New Jersey, has devoted more than a decade to private-practice dentistry with a simple philosophy: provide patients with thoughtful, personalized care and never stop improving as a clinician. He takes the time to listen, communicate clearly and develop treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs, goals and circumstances.
He practices comprehensive general, cosmetic and implant dentistry, from everyday restorative care to smile makeovers, porcelain veneers, advanced implant surgery, sinus augmentation and All-on-X treatment. For him, learning and teaching are natural extensions of patient care. The practice's promise is his own: Dentistry Built on Trust. Implants Designed to Last.
Training and credentials
Author
Dr. Kwon has published dental implant books and textbook translations with his mentor, Dr. Youngsam Kim, including Dr. Youngsam Kim’s Atlas of Implants. Their next book, on sinus lift surgery, is expected by the end of 2026.
See the bookBeyond the practice
Beyond private practice, Dr. Kwon devotes a significant amount of time to studying emerging techniques, reviewing current research and refining his surgical and restorative approach. He teaches what he practices, so the methods he shows other dentists are the same ones he uses with his own patients.
How he works
You tell him what is bothering you and what you want. He listens before he looks.
He examines your teeth and gums, takes the imaging he needs, and shows you what he finds.
You hear every reasonable option, including the simplest one, and what each involves in time and cost.
Treatment is planned carefully and done carefully, with follow-up visits to make sure it holds.
Off the clock
Outside of clinical practice and teaching, Dr. Kwon enjoys traveling and experiencing different cultures, both personally and through the international teaching dentistry has brought into his career. Closer to home, he and Dr. Byungchul Park play in the evening soccer leagues at Chelsea Piers in Stamford. Meet Dr. Park
