Get to Know Dr. Luke Lim
Dr. Lim brings a rich educational background and advanced specialty training to our practice. He earned his Bachelor of Science from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, followed by a Master of Science from Boston University. He then completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at NYU College of Dentistry. During his General Practice Residency at Woodhull Medical Center (NYC Health + Hospitals) in Brooklyn, he was honored as Resident of the Year. From there, he pursued specialty training in endodontics at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine.
Dr. Lim is a board-eligible candidate of the American Board of Endodontics and has contributed to several research projects.

Frequently Asked Questions About Endodontic Services
What is an endodontist, and how is one different from a general dentist?
An endodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on treating the inside of the tooth, including the pulp and surrounding tissues. After completing dental school, endodontists like Dr. Lim and Dr. Nikolaidis pursue additional years of specialty training. This advanced education allows them to handle complex root canal procedures and related treatments with precision.
What can I expect during a root canal appointment?
A root canal is designed to relieve pain and protect your long-term oral health. Our doctors explain every step of the process and focus on providing a gentle, comfortable experience from your first visit through recovery. We use dental microscopes and advanced imaging to make each procedure as accurate and smooth as possible.
How does root canal treatment help save my tooth?
Root canal treatment targets infection or damage inside the tooth pulp. By carefully removing the inflamed tissue and resealing the tooth, we help you keep your natural tooth for years to come. Preserving your natural smile is always our goal.
What technology do you use for endodontic care?
We perform every treatment using dental microscopes for enhanced precision. Each of our locations also features CBCT scanners for detailed 3D imaging and EdgePRO dental lasers. This technology helps us diagnose issues accurately and deliver safer, more effective care.
Do you accept referrals from other dentists?
Yes. We work closely with a network of referring dentists across Northern and Central New Jersey. This collaborative approach helps us coordinate treatment and ensure continuity of care, so you and your family dentist stay informed throughout the process.
