Dr. Adam Pristera – Dedicated to the Orthodontic and Endodontic Professions

Since high school, I have pursued my dream, becoming a general dentist in 2005. While working in this role, I quickly developed a passion for orthodontics (braces) and endodontics (root canals). Through years of hard work and education, I now proudly stand as one of the few specialists in both fields. The love for my profession is reinforced by the personal and professional rewards each specialty brings. As a dual specialist, I have a unique chance to positively impact patients of all ages.

Engaging at various treatment stages across different age groups allows me to focus on individual patient needs and goals, aiding in crafting beautiful smiles for the long term. Serving Renton and Burien communities, my aim is to provide exceptional care to all patients. My treatment philosophy centers on creating (orthodontics) and maintaining (endodontics) beautiful smiles that enhance patients’ overall health and well-being throughout their lives.

Education

I entered the dental field in 2005 after graduating top of my class from the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, earning induction into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honor Society for academic excellence. Furthering my training, I completed a General Practice Residency at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, treating patients of all ages with medical complexities and severe dental-facial trauma management.

Specializing in endodontics (root canals) followed at Columbia University’s esteemed Endodontics Department in Manhattan, New York. After practicing in prominent offices on Central Park South in New York City, I pursued Orthodontics specialization at St. Barnabas Hospital, affiliated with Albert Einstein College of Medicine and New York College of Osteopathic Medicine. This advanced training, coupled with years of practical experience, equipped me with the expertise needed to handle even the most challenging cases. Don’t forget to visit our Facebook!
