TOOTH FAIRY family dental

Dr.Marjan Habibian D

r. Marjan Habibian was trained and graduated from New York University College of Dentistry and she is very active in community services and holds membership in the Academy of General dentistry. She puts her clients at ease and she puts her paitent’s comfort first. Dr. Habibian is a preferred provider for invisalign. Also has completed Implant training course of AIC. She has a certification from 3I Synergy Training Program. She has also completed Peer Practicum in Implant Dentistry. She is member of the rotary club, BNI. She has attained the first degree in the Reiki method of natural healing.

Dr. Habibian opened Tooth Fairy Family Dental over 20 years ago in Plainsboro. Her daughter suggested the name and told her mother “Patients are not going to be afraid to visit the Tooth Fairy.” Indeed, many of her patients smile just thinking about the name.

Her patients range in age from 2 to 95.

That smile continues when they walk into her office. The waiting area has a very homey, relaxed feel to it. “Everyone says when they come here they feel like they are walking into a home.”

“In Eastern philosophy, the mouth is the gateway to a healthy body,” she adds. “Recent studies have linked periodontal issues to heart disease, and bacteria in the mouth to other serious health problems. We’ve also seen research that people who floss regularly can live up to seven years longer than those who do not. This is why we offer free gum measurements for all our patients.”

“I feel a responsibility to enrich the community; we can teach each other,” she said. “I try to show people the similarities we have with our cultures, because it brings people together.”

Whether it’s promoting cultural understanding or empowering her patients to take charge of their oral health, it’s this warm and open attitude that helps explain why Dr. Habibian’s dental practice has been flourishing for more than two decades, and why patients continue to come, seeking her special touch.

Dr. Marjan Habibian, owner of Tooth Fairy Family Dental, takes a holistic approach to dentistry by focusing on the whole person, not just their mouth.

Tooth Fairy Family Dental is housed in a beautiful historic home in the center of Plainsboro village.

“I consider the patient as a whole unit,” says Dr. Habibian. “We educate them, show them their x-rays, and videos so they can make wise decisions about their care. We don’t just tell them what to do, we explain it to them.”

The feeling of comfort starts the minute patients walk through the door of the white house on Plainsboro Road. The waiting room is painted with bright, cheerful colors, and the furniture is soft and beckoning. The homey feeling is designed to ease the dread that some patients have about visiting the dentist and make them feel welcome. Dr.Habibian says the comfort factor also was built into the name of the practice, which is intended to bring back the happiest childhood memories about dental care.

The office boasts high tech equipment which makes each appointment easier and simpler. “We invest in technology because it’s the best way to care for our patients, but we also spend time making sure patients know how to take care of their teeth.”

“When you educate about dental procedures, there is less fear and less pain,” said Dr.Habibian.

“That’s why our patients love coming here. They get personalized attention, are treated like family in a homey office and make a connection with their dentist. Through time, understanding and patience, we are sure we can satisfy everyone.”

“We’re not here just to be a dental practice. We’re here to help the community and believe in reaching out,” explained Dr.Habibian “So having a gallery for a person like Lou, who was so important to the community and had so many students who loved him, it’s one way for us to do that. We want people to know and to share the knowledge that there is more to life, like music and art.”

Dr. Habibian, who acknowledges that dentistry, is a science, also points out that it is an art, a craft that she takes very seriously. She also sees the connection between art and the people she sees every day, whether it is her own patients, or the people whose lives she touches outside her office.

“Every person, they are like paintings, different colors and a mixture of different emotions,” she said. “It makes you step back so you don’t look at people like they are just people or a statue passing by. Each one of them, each person is like artwork.”

It is clear that Dr. Habibian loves what she does, and that’s what makes her patients love her.

“She’s very professional, very good and friendly,” said Cameron Clark, another longtime patient. “And that’s why I like coming to see her.”

“So being somewhere that’s cozy, warm and organic, you forget that feeling of I’m in a dental office, I’m here to see the doctor. You say I’m here to see the Tooth Fairy, and that brings a smile to everyone’s face and makes them feel better.”

The feeling of comfort starts the minute patients walk into the door of the white house on Plainsboro Road. The waiting room is painted with bright, cheerful colors, and the furniture is soft and beckoning.

The homey feeling is designed to ease the dread that some patients have about visiting the dentist and make them feel welcome. The comfort factor also was built into the name of the practice, which is intended to bring back the happiest childhood memories about dental care. Tooth Fairy leads a team of professionals, who provide the latest in technology and knowhow, with services that include everything from implants, root canals, and periodontics, to Invisalign, whitening, veneers, and oral cancer screening.

This is the only office you will need to visit to take the best care of your teeth and your overall health.

Recently they teamed with a company to provide sleep apnea testing and oral appliance.

The services come with a personalized approach that treats patients of all ages like family. Researchers have found a relationship between bacteria in the mouth to stroke, heart disease, and diabetes. Dentists are also often the first to see signs of sleep apnea and recommend follow-up with other specialists.

The practice offers the latest technology, including digital x-ray, intraoral camera, rotary endodontic, electric hand-piece, and nitrous oxide. The full range of services may be found online at our web site.

Tooth Fairy Dental is a paperless office. Visit them on the web at www.toothfairyfamily.com to set up an appointment and fill out pre-appointment paperwork.

While she is a dedicated medical professional and a strong believer in community, Dr. Habibian is also an artist, who created much of the artwork that lines the walls of her office. Much of the artwork also was created by Lou Bisso, her life partner and a beloved music teacher, who tragically passed away from cancer seven years ago.

Upstairs, on the second floor is a gallery that is dedicated to Bisso’s art, which also included a love of music and sports. The gallery is open to patients and the public on special occasions, and is often a place they visit for quiet reflection of a gentle man who gave so much of himself to his students and those around him.

With The Smile You’ve Always Wanted!

Emile Haddad and his wife, both residents of Plainsboro, have been regular patients for the better part of the decade, and for them, seeing the dentist is like seeing an old friend.

‘She is an awesome doctor, so gentle, you can’t even feel what she’s doing,” said Haddad.

“I feel that I am helping my patients look and feel better,” said Dr. Habibian. “I can help if they are feeling pain in their mouth, or if they want something that makes them feel more beautiful, prettier. I love my job. Dentistry is important because your oral health is important to your whole body. With our medical training, as dentists we are on the front line of patient care and are often the very first to detect serious health problems, including oral cancer.”

Nicole Henninger and Jennifer Morris

icole Henninger and Jennifer Morris may no longer share the same last name, but they are sisters – and this is clear when calling H&H Appliance Center and hearing uncanny voice resemblances. Contributing to the operations and marketing team, neither started in the appliance industry, but have ended up succeeding in the locally owned business in East Windsor, NJ. Morris, a Levittown native and registered nurse, and Henninger, a Philadelphia native and doctoral student in communication, trek over the bridge to contribute to the business of appliance retail. Morris manages daily operations, facets of customer service, and business streamlining. Henninger serves as the decision-maker of marketing, performing everything from media buying and implementation to creative development.

H&H Appliance Center is a local, family owned business that retails kitchen appliances. In addition to kitchen, laundry, and outdoor appliances, the team specializes in industry evolution. This means that staff has seen the life of products, brands, and manufacturers – this serves as a beneficial for both the customers and sales team. The staff at H&H Appliance Center also works on an unlikely business model, where sales associates do not make a commission based on sales. Rather than sell to sell, H&H Appliance Center sells to create a positive long-term customer experience. Because the business does not perform service on appliances (they recommend local companies, unless it is grill service – then 25+ year veteran employee Bill Velasquez of Vineland, NJ will make home visits) the team strives to sell appliances that will last and make the customer happy without breaking the bank.

Henninger and Morris stand behind their brand. They take pride in being women in a predominantly male-dominated industry and work to create a positive customer experience for their clients. Whether it is working to resolve an issue, educate the customer on product information, or plan a demonstration to help a customer make a decision, the two work together to get the job done right.
