  TOMS RIVER – Incisal Edge dental magazine recognizes Dr. Matthew Sones among the 2022 “40 Under 40” top young dentists in the U.S. For a 12th consecutive year, the nation’s premier dental publication celebrates brilliant young achievers in dentistry, ages 40 and under, with its signature award.

  Among the 2022 Incisal Edge “40 Under 40” recipients, are 40 women and 40 men from 24 states, including Dr. Matthew Sones. Fewer than 700 of America’s best young dentists have earned this prestigious designation, including the 2022 inductees. View the complete list at: IncisalEdgeMagazine.com

  The magazine, published by Benco Dental since 1997, will celebrate award recipients through a series of profiles in its fall “40 Under 40” editorial coverage. As the centerpiece of the print and digital editions: a photography portfolio created at a celebratory event in Manhattan this spring.

  “It is truly and honor to be recognized as one of the top young dental professionals in the country. At Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates our goal is to always deliver the highest quality care to our patients. This recognition represents years of hard work and dedication of not only myself, but also our entire team at Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates,” said Matthew Sones, DMD.

  The “40 Under 40” list includes innovative and passionate young professionals in dentistry across the United States. Hundreds are nominated by industry experts and vetted by an independent panel of judges who select the final honorees. In 2019, the volume of nominations resulted in an expansion of the awards to two categories, General Dentists and Dental Specialists.

  “Reviving the magazine’s in-person 40 Under 40 photo session after two years allows us to celebrate the top dentists in the U.S. with an event that matches their dynamic talent, vision and overall excellence,” said Terry J. Barrett, chief marketing officer for the magazine’s publisher, Benco Dental. “We’re thrilled to host the future of dentistry at a live event that captures the vibrant energy, glamour and style of New York City.”
