Dr. Markus and his associates have raised over $100,000 for various charities in the past 4 years by whitening people's smiles. Pink Ribbon Smiles is a new campaign, which, if successful on a local level, will branch out to become larger in future years. Dr. Markus was one of the first, if not the first cosmetic dentists in New Jersey. He recently earned fellowship in the Academy of Comprehensive Esthetics.

His practice is focused on esthetics and advanced restorative dentistry. Comfort is of the essence, and you will be pampered in his office which is also a gallery of artwork he has created. "I am very proud of the smiles I have created, this is my favorite hobby." He has a portrait studio in his office, and the walls are decorated with smiling faces of many grateful patients. There are also several award winning landscape photographs he has taken, and many pieces of stained glass he creates during the winter when he cannot play golf.

Dr. Markus is a member of the International Association of Mercury-Free Dentists and the International Academy of Oral Medical Toxicology (IAOMT).

Also, Dr. Markus is the developer of The Edge Crown and The Edge Veneer.
