Dr. Adam Pristera – Dedicated to the Orthodontic and Endodontic Professions
Dr. Pristera earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude and ranked number one in his class. In recognition of his outstanding academic achievement, he was inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honor Society.
He went on to complete a General Practice Residency at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, where he treated medically complex patients and managed cases involving severe dental and facial trauma. During his residency, Dr. Pristera discovered a deep passion for two highly specialized areas of dentistry: Endodontics and Orthodontics.
He continued his advanced training in the prestigious Endodontic Department at Columbia University. After practicing in high-profile dental offices in New York City, Dr. Pristera pursued specialty training in Orthodontics at St. Barnabas Hospital, an affiliate of Albert Einstein College of Medicine and New York College of Osteopathic Medicine.
As a dual specialist in both Orthodontics and Endodontics, Dr. Pristera brings a uniquely comprehensive perspective to patient care. His ability to understand and guide multiple stages of treatment allows him to create thoughtful, coordinated, and life-changing outcomes for his patients.
After moving to the Pacific Northwest, Dr. Pristera fulfilled his dream of owning a practice. He remains deeply committed to clinical excellence and regularly attends continuing education courses to stay at the forefront of modern techniques, technology, and patient-centered care.
