The Guide: Dentists in Point Pleasant – Bay Head, NJ

See the Businesses

New Jersey licenses dentists as individuals, not as practices. The state keeps a public register of every dentist it has licensed, with a number and a current status, and anyone can search it for free. It takes about a minute, and the steps are at the bottom of this page.

This guide lists general dental practices with an office in Point Pleasant, Point Pleasant Beach or Brick Township, names the dentists each practice names on its own website, and shows what the state register said about each of those names on the day we checked. It also records who owns each practice and how each one takes a new patient, in each practice’s own words.

The Practices, Compared

This is not a ranking.
Listed alphabetically. The dentists column shows names exactly as each practice writes them on its own website; where a practice has no website we could find, the name comes from the business profile it maintains on Google, and the cell and the entry say so. The license column shows the status the New Jersey register returned for each name on the date in the header. Ownership and new-patients restate what each practice publishes, and “Not published” means the site says nothing either way. Hours are as published, with evening and Saturday times called out because they are what most people are looking for.

Checked against the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs Dentistry licensee search.

License statuses were read from the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs license verification register on November 9, 2026, by searching each name as a person under the profession Dentistry and the license type Dentist. Practice details were verified against each practice’s own website in November 2026. Where the table reads “Not found by us,” the practice has no website we could find; that is a limit of our check, not a statement about the practice.

Common Questions

How do I check a dentist’s license in Point Pleasant – Bay Head, NJ?

Go to the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs license verification site, choose the person search rather than the business search, set the profession to Dentistry and the license type to Dentist, and enter the last name. The result shows the name, the license number, and the current status. The city shown is the licensee’s address of record, which is often a home address, so do not read it as the office.

What does Inactive, Retired or Expired mean on the New Jersey register?

They are statuses the register records against a license: Inactive and Retired are elected by the licensee and recorded by the board, and Expired means the renewal date has passed. This guide prints what the register showed on the date at the top of the table, next to the name the practice publishes, and makes no claim about why.

Does "Part of a group" mean a practice in Point Pleasant – Bay Head, NJ is worse, or better?

Neither. It means the practice’s own website, or the group’s own list of locations, says the practice belongs to a larger organisation. Some readers want to know that before they book, which is why the column exists. The guide records the fact and makes no judgment about it.

About This Guide

This guide is produced by Garden State Circle. Practices appear here because they meet the criteria described above — a general dental practice with an office in Point Pleasant, Point Pleasant Beach or Brick Township and at least one named dentist whose New Jersey license the state register showed as Active. That is a test, not a judgment, and it is the only route onto this page. No practice can pay to be included in this guide, to be listed higher, or to change what the comparison table says about it. Practices are listed alphabetically, and every detail in the table was verified against each practice’s own website and against the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs licensee register in November 2026.

Everything under the heading that begins this guide is governed by the rules above, on every guide we publish. Where a sponsor’s message appears above that heading, it is paid for and labelled, and it buys nothing in the guide. Garden State Circle is supported by the businesses that participate in it. Participation pays for our ongoing work: keeping a business’s entry accurate, re-checking its record, and publishing a page of its own details that the business maintains. There is no paid placement in this guide. Participation does not buy a place here, a position here, or anything the comparison table says. Nothing on this page is medical advice. Every treatment described here carries risks that depend on your own health and history, and the person to discuss them with is a licensed provider who has examined you.

Garden State Circle is published in New Jersey by Tiffany and Jake Slowinski and covers Point Pleasant, Point Pleasant Beach and Brick Township, in Ocean County. Contact the publisher at jake@gardenstatecircle.com. How every guide is made, in one place: how every guide is made.

How We Selected These Practices

A practice appears here if it meets three tests. It is a general dental practice, according to its own website. It has an office you can walk into in Point Pleasant, Point Pleasant Beach or Brick Township, stated on its own website or on the business profile it maintains on Google. And at least one dentist it names holds a New Jersey dental license that the state register showed as Active on November 9, 2026.

That is deliberately a low bar, and it admits nearly everyone. Specialists — orthodontists, periodontists, endodontists, prosthodontists, oral surgeons and pediatric dentists — are not on this list, because each of those is its own category with its own guide.

Thirty practices are listed here, alphabetically. If any of that has changed, the correction address at the bottom of this page is for exactly that.

What This Guide Cannot Tell You

Two things, and they are worth stating plainly. The state register tells us that a person holds a New Jersey dental license and what its status was on the day we looked. It does not tell us where that person practises, how many days a week they are in a given office, or whether they are the dentist you will actually see. For that, the practice’s own website is the source, and the table shows what each one publishes.

The second limit is the new-patients column. It records how each practice says a new patient starts — an online booking system, a set of new-patient forms, or an appointment request form — and nothing else. The column does not say whether the answer will be yes.

What the Register Statuses Mean

Every dentist named in the table showed as Active on the register. A license marked Inactive or Retired is a status the licensee can elect and the board records; a license marked Expired has passed its renewal date. None of those statuses says anything about the practice as a whole, and none of them means a person is practising without a license — it is a reason to ask which dentist you will see. This guide prints what the register showed on the date at the top of the table, and nothing more.

A Note on Reading the Table

Names are printed exactly as each practice writes them, which is why some carry a degree and some do not. Where the register shows a status other than Active against a name, the license cell says which name and what it showed, dated, and nothing else.

Ownership is a fact, not a grade. Independently owned means the practice says so on its own site or names its owner-dentist; Part of a group means the practice’s own site, or the group’s own location list, says so. Not published means the site says nothing either way — and most sites say nothing either way, which is why that value is the most common one in the column. A practice named after its dentist, or organised as a P.A., is not thereby “independently owned” in this table; the practice has to say it.

Something Out of Date?

This guide is maintained. If anything here is wrong or has changed — a dentist who has joined or left a practice, a license status, an address, a booking method, or whether a practice has closed — tell us and we will check it. Practices listed here are welcome to write in directly, and a practice whose dentist we could not find on the register, or whose site we could not read, is exactly the kind of correction we want.

And if you run a general dental practice with an office in Point Pleasant, Point Pleasant Beach or Brick Township that should be on this list, write to us. The criteria are the same for everyone: a general dental practice, an office you can walk into in one of these towns stated on your own website or Google profile, and at least one named dentist whose New Jersey license shows as Active. If you meet them, you go on.

Something out of date?

This guide is maintained. If anything here is wrong or has changed — a credential, who is at the practice, insurance participation, or whether they are taking new patients — tell us and we will check it. Businesses listed here are welcome to write in directly.
