Our team

A dentist who takes his time. On purpose.

Dr. Eric Oh believes the best dentistry starts with a conversation, not a drill. He built Sora around unhurried visits, plain answers, and treatment plans he would accept for his own family.

The person behind the practice

Dr. Oh is a general dentist who would rather know you well than treat you fast.

Where he started

Dr. Oh grew up in Plainsboro, New Jersey, and went on to study biology at Cornell University, graduating in 2009. He earned a Master of Science at UMDNJ — now part of Rutgers — in 2011, and his Doctor of Dental Surgery at the NYU College of Dentistry in 2015. He then completed a one-year general practice residency at Hackensack University Medical Center in 2016, and has been practicing ever since.

Why general dentistry

What kept him in general dentistry, he'll tell you, is the long view — caring for the same people across decades rather than just fixing the tooth in front of him.

But the work itself is what makes it unlike anything else. There is real creativity and real engineering in every piece of dentistry: designing something that has to fit one person, stand up to daily use, and last. Watching that work take care of someone year after year is the part he finds most rewarding.

Still a student

He never stopped studying, either. Dr. Oh holds fellowships in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD) and the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (FICOI). He is also a Fellow of the Institute for Advanced Laser Dentistry and a LANAP clinician — more on what those mean in the questions below.

Life outside the operatory

Away from the office, Dr. Oh spends his time with his wife and son, who loves soccer and tennis. He's a sports fan himself — the Giants, the Knicks, and every World Cup — and fills the rest of his free time with reading and finding new restaurants and places to explore.

Why the name

Sora is Japanese for sky — a promise about how the place should feel: open, calm, and honest.

It has a second sense, too. Sora de means by heart: knowing something so well you don't need to look. That's how we want to know you and your history, visit after visit.

What that means for your visits
