About NJ Smiles Dental
Awesome experience. After years of ignoring dental issues because of fear and paranoia, I finally came to NJ Smiles. Dr Patel is one of a kind. Immediately felt welcomed and cared for by him and his staff. I have had nothing but a great experience so far every time I’m in the office. Highly recommend!

Honesty
We treat our patients and each other with respect and communicate openly. Patients are able to make their own choices for their dentistry based on what they themselves can see with the intraoral camera and digital x-rays.
Teamwork
We encourage the best ideas to surface and desire and encourage everyone's input. We do what we say and we say what we do – we can be counted on. When there is a problem we actively look for solutions.
Kindness
We treat each other and our patients as we wish to be treated realizing that everyone is fighting a battle that we can't always see. We don't make judgments about people when we don't have a full or complete understanding of situations. Therefore, we follow the Golden Rule here with each other and with our patients. This is a place of solace from the world and we treat our patients as if they were honored guests in our home.
