Dr. Dimaira is a
life-long resident of New Jersey. Born in Jersey City, she
attended St. Dominic Academy before entering Douglass College
(Rutgers University) on a full academic scholarship. She began
her affiliation with dentistry in high school at the age of 14
while working for her orthodontist. She continued working as a
dental assistant throughout college and then entered New Jersey
Dental School to pursue her dream of becoming a dentist. During

continued her desire to educate and treat this systemic-reaching
disease during her general practice residency at Lyons, NJ.
Ultimately, she pursued her goal to become a Periodontist at
the Veterans Administration Medical Center at Los Angeles.
