Lakeview Dental - About Us

Here at Lakeview Dental, patients come first and foremost. We treat all of our patients as though they were our very own family. Our new office is very relaxing and with the help of our friendly staff, people feel right at home. Once you walk through the door, you will wonder why you have waited so long! We are a full service cosmetic, family, and general dentistry office with a wide variety of services.

Dr. Eric J. Forte has been working with our patients in Gibbsboro for nearly 4 years. After great success and many happy patients, he founded Lakeview Dental in 2007. At that time, he moved into our brand new office and brought in our associate dentist, Dr. Jonathan S. Hill.

Here are some images of our office:

Drs. Forte and Hill feel that dentistry is an art and a science. They are both former artists and it shows in their work. After all, true cosmetic dentistry is art!

Dr. Eric J. Forte, DMD

Dr. Eric Forte was born in Voorhees, New Jersey, and is the driving force behind Lakeview Dental. He graduated from Drexel University in 1996 with a degree in graphic design. Clearly, this was an unusual path toward dentistry, but Dr. Forte's talents and expertise in art are what fueled his love of dentistry and the beauty of the smile. He graduated from Temple University School of Dentistry in 2002, earning many honors and awards, including:

• Temple University School of Dentistry / Crown and Bridge Award, 2002
• International College of Dentists USA Section / Award for Outstanding Professionalism and Clinical Excellence in Dentistry, 2002
• Temple University School of Dentistry / Dean's Scholarship for Outstanding Performance, 1998

Dr. Forte acquired his practice in 2005, and has since grown the practice considerably. His expertise is in practicing highly proficient dentistry while making each and every individual feel cared for. Dr. Forte is highly skilled and experienced in all aspects of general and cosmetic dentistry, including endodontics, crown and bridge, and implant restorations. Dr. Forte's ability, enthusiasm, and professionalism show in his dedication to the patients.

Dr. Forte has recently moved to Medford, NJ, with his loving wife Jennifer and their beautiful daughter Isabella.

Dr. Jonathan S. Hill, DMD

Dr. Jonathan Hill was born and raised in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. After high school, he went on to Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia to study biology with a minor in fine art. Following college, he merged his art skills and love of science by pursuing a career in medical illustration. Subsequent to strengthening his portfolio at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Dr. Hill went on to acquire a masters degree in medical illustration from the Medical College of Georgia. While there, he received two awards for his excellence in medical illustration. After two years of professional illustration, he decided to apply his skills to dentistry.

Since his graduation from Temple University School of Dentistry, he has been working in private practice as a general dentist in the South Jersey area. He is proficient in family and cosmetic dentistry, as well as endodontics and oral surgery. Patients have come to know Dr. Hill for his gentle touch and comforting chairside manner.

Dr. Hill and his wife Aneta live in Marlton, New Jersey. They recently had their first child, Matthew Christopher.
