About Dr. Jay Balasz

Dr. Jay Balasz, DDS

Hello, I’m Dr. Jay Balasz, DDS. Since 1986 I have been passionate about providing health-centered, patient-focused dental care with careful attention to your specific needs and objectives.

I knew that I wanted to be a dentist since early high school. A family friend acted as a mentor steering me toward the dental field. This friend is no longer with us, but I continue to be grateful to him for leading me to a career that I have great passion for.

I am passionate about helping my patients and providing them with the best care available. My focus is to help my patients not need dental work. I take great pride in providing excellent care to multiple generations of patients. I am committed to a lifetime of learning so that I am always providing my patients with the most up-to-date treatment options available.

I understand that you have many choices in who provides your dental care. At our office you will receive the highest quality care that will make you feel comfortable, backed by the expertise that will make you confident. I look forward to meeting you!

Schuster Center Graduate & Mentor

I am a graduate of the Schuster Center for Professional Development. The Schuster Center is the leading business and development school for dentists.

Personal

I have been married to my wife Kris for over 30 years. We have three children: Sam, Jane, and Grace. We enjoy spending time together as a family. Some of our best memories are from our travels. We began traveling as a family when we adopted our daughter Grace from China. Since that time we have had many adventures including several dental mission trips to Africa.
