Meet Dr. Richard A. Reso, DMD

Dr. Richard A. Reso, DMD, is dedicated to providing high-quality, compassionate dental care to his patients. With over 30 years of experience—20 of them in Hopewell—he has built a reputation for his patient-centered approach, attention to detail, and expertise in a wide range of dental procedures.

Philosophy of Care

Dr. Reso believes in building strong relationships with his patients. He takes the time to understand their concerns, explain treatments clearly, and ensure they feel comfortable before any procedure begins.

  • Education First: An informed patient makes the best decisions about their oral health.
  • Comfort & Trust: He prioritizes pain management and takes extra care with patients who experience dental anxiety.
  • Precision & Quality: He uses top-rated materials and advanced techniques to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Education & Professional Experience

Dr. Reso's journey into dentistry began with a strong foundation in science.

  • Undergraduate Degree: Chemistry, Rutgers University
  • Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD): Fairleigh Dickinson University
  • Advanced Training: Periodontics and implant dentistry

After practicing in a busy office in Bound Brook, NJ, Dr. Reso opened his private practice in Hopewell. Over the years, he has continuously expanded his skills, offering treatments such as root canals, implants, extractions, bone grafts, crowns, and cosmetic restorations. He finds deep fulfillment in helping patients restore their smiles and relieve pain.

Beyond Dentistry

Outside of the office, Dr. Reso enjoys an active lifestyle. He spends his free time running, biking, and skiing. He also has a passion for music and plays the guitar—not just for enjoyment, but as a way to strengthen his hands for dentistry.

Dr. Reso and his wife have been married for over 30 years and enjoy traveling together. Their recent trip to Italy was a highlight, and they look forward to returning.


Family is an important part of his life. His son has a background in biochemistry and a keen interest in politics and brewing. His daughter and her husband embrace an off-the-grid lifestyle, raising chickens, keeping bee hives, and growing their own food.

Dedicated to Serving the Hopewell Community

Dr. Reso has dedicated his career to improving the oral health and confidence of his patients. Whether relieving pain or restoring a smile, he finds joy in making a difference in people’s lives. He looks forward to continuing to provide exceptional dental care to the Hopewell community for many years to come.
