Dr. Louis R. Vita Awarded As A NJ Top Dentist For 2025
Louis R. Vita, D.D.S., F.A.G.D. has been reviewed and approved as a NJ Top Dentist for 2025 based on merit. Dr. Vitam is a dentist with over 30 years of experience and a recognized expert in treating Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders. As the founder of The Vita Head, Neck, and Facial Pain Relief Center in Clifton, NJ, Dr. Vita has dedicated his career to researching and developing methods for diagnosing and treating TMJ disorders, a field in which he is particularly passionate.
Dr. Vita’s in-depth training in TMJ/TMD (Temporomandibular Dysfunction) sets him apart. He has studied extensively under Mark A. Piper, M.D., D.M.D., and through the Piper Education and Research Center and the Piper Clinic. His expertise extends to educating residents and fellow dentists at Hackensack University Medical Center, where he founded the Facial Pain Treatment Department. He is committed to improving the lives of his patients by providing relief from the debilitating effects of TMJ disorders, which often include headaches, jaw pain, bruxism (teeth grinding), and tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
The practice receives numerous inquiries daily from patients seeking help with TMJ disorders, seeing approximately 425 new patients annually. Dr. Vita emphasizes the importance of thorough screening, as many individuals have TMJ disorders without realizing it. “A lot of people have a TMJ disorder and don’t even know it. Lack of pain does not indicate that a problem does not exist,” Dr. Vita explains. “That’s why screening is very critical.”
Dr. Vita’s interest in TMJ began during his time at Georgetown University School of Dentistry, where he earned his degree. Since then, it has become his lifelong passion. Education remains a cornerstone of his practice, with Dr. Vita and his team regularly attending seminars and continuing education programs to stay at the forefront of the field. As an attending dentist and Section Chief of the Facial Pain and TMD Department at Hackensack University Medical Center, Dr. Vita is actively involved in training dental residents. He also lectures to healthcare professionals on TMJ and cervical spine issues, offering continuing education courses through his Vita Clinical Studies and TMJ Training Center. His practice serves not only New Jersey but also patients from surrounding states, including Long Island, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and upstate New York.
Dr. Vita’s work is highly regarded by other specialists, with one oral surgeon noting, “Dr. Vita is very knowledgeable in a field that is extremely difficult to master.” He stresses the importance of collaboration between healthcare providers: “Our goal is to be THE resource for dentists and physicians in the treatment of a patient’s TMJ problem. We encourage physicians to contact us about their patients so we can work together for the patient’s benefit.”
Dr. Vita reflects on his career with gratitude: “I’m grateful for a loyal staff, and I really enjoy the challenge of diagnosing my patients’ problems and offering solutions. There is no other field for me. I’m blessed because I love what I do.”
