Dentists in Bridgewater, NJ: Every Licence Checked, and How Each Practice Takes New Patients

The Guide: Dentists in Bridgewater, NJ

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 every general dental practice we could find with an office in Bridgewater Township, including the Martinsville section, in Branchburg or in Raritan, 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. Somerville has its own guide; this one covers Bridgewater Township, Branchburg and Raritan.

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 Bridgewater Township, Branchburg or Raritan, 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 licence that the state register showed as Active on the day we checked — September 3, 2026 for the original roster, September 6, 2026 for the Branchburg and Raritan practices added since.

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, and a general practice that employs a specialist is listed as a general practice. A practice that failed one of the three tests is not deleted: it sits in a labelled section below the main list with its address and the reason, so you can see who we could not check rather than wonder why a name is missing.

Thirty-two practices meet the tests. They are listed alphabetically. Three more are listed below the table with the reason each could not be checked the same way: two named dentists who show as Retired, one dentist we could not find on the register under the name the practice publishes, and one practice with no page of its own that names a dentist. If any of that has changed, the correction address at the bottom of this page is for exactly that.

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 Bridgewater Township, Branchburg or Raritan and at least one named dentist whose New Jersey licence 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 September 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 locally in New Jersey by Jake Slowinski and covers Bridgewater Township, including Martinsville, Bradley Gardens, Finderne and Green Knoll, and Branchburg and Raritan. Contact the publisher at jake@gardenstatecircle.com.

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 licence 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. A few practices state on their sites that they are accepting new patients, and one states that it is not; we have not checked that with any of them, and a sentence like that can be a year old. The column does not say whether the answer will be yes.

What the Register Statuses Mean

Most dentists named in this guide showed as Active on the register. Two in the table did not, and two more are the reason a practice sits below the table; the table and the entries say so in each case. A licence marked Inactive or Retired is a status the licensee can elect and the board records; a licence 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 licence — 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.

The Practices, Compared

Listed alphabetically. The dentists column shows names exactly as each practice writes them on its own website; where a practice’s site could not be read, the names come from the business profile it maintains on Google, and the entry below says so. The licence 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.

Licence statuses were read from the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs licence verification register on September 3, 2026 for the original roster and September 6, 2026 for the Branchburg and Raritan additions, by searching each name as a person under the profession Dentistry and the licence type Dentist. Practice details were verified against each practice’s own website the same day it was checked, where the website could be loaded. Where the table reads “Not found by us,” the practice’s website could not be loaded when we checked; that is a limit of our check, not a statement about the practice.

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, and why one row reads “Dr. Ding” with no first name. Where a practice names a specialist alongside its general dentists, the specialty is noted in brackets. Where the register shows a status other than Active against a name, the licence 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.

The Practices

Access Dental of Bridgewater, Bridgewater

Access Dental's Bridgewater office is at 155 Union Avenue; the practice also has offices in Union and Clifton, and its website names Dr. Mahir Saleh, DDS, and Dr. Khaled Attili, DDS, without saying which office each works from. It takes appointments through an online scheduling system and publishes hours to 7 pm Monday to Thursday and Saturday 9 am to 5 pm.

Advanced Dental Care at Bridgewater, Bridgewater

Advanced Dental Care at Bridgewater, at 678 Route 202/206, Building 5, Unit 8, describes itself as the practice of Yau-Ting Lam, DDS, serves "people of all ages," and publishes evening hours on Monday and Friday and Saturday hours from 9 am to 5 pm; its website does not describe how a new patient books.

Aspen Dental, Bridgewater

Aspen Dental's Bridgewater office, at 976 US Highway 22, is one of the chain's New Jersey locations; its location page names Dr. Shilp Dalal along with a visiting oral surgeon and endodontist, offers online scheduling, and publishes hours Tuesday to Friday with no evening or Saturday times. We confirmed that the page describes this office rather than another location, because Aspen's Flemington page did not.

Better Image Dentistry, Bridgewater

Better Image Dentistry, at 21 Monroe Street, names Dr. Sakshi Sapru, DDS, describes a private practice serving patients of all ages, states "New Patients Welcome," takes online bookings, and publishes hours to 6 pm on Wednesday and Thursday with Saturday closed.

Bridgewater Dental Associates, Bridgewater

Bridgewater Dental Associates, at 720 Route 202/206, describes "comprehensive care for the entire family" with general dentistry and pediatric care, and names Dr. Ryan Scally, a pediatric dentist, Dr. David M. Weedon, Dr. Heidi Spetz, a prosthodontist, and Dr. Igor Tomyn; on September 3, 2026, the register showed David Weedon as Inactive. The site publishes neither hours nor a booking method.

Bridgewater Dental Group (Paul Kaplan DMD & Associates), Bridgewater

Bridgewater Dental Group, in the Bridgewater Medical Center at 216 Finderne Avenue, operates as Paul Kaplan DMD & Associates and names four general dentists — Paul Kaplan, Olga Nadkarni, Stephen Wyrwa and Nisha Ramesh — plus an oral surgeon, Buseong Choi; it takes new patients through an appointment request form and publishes evening hours three days a week and Saturday mornings.

Bridgewater Family Dental, Bridgewater

Bridgewater Family Dental, at 676 Route 202/206 North, Building 2, describes itself as "Cosmetic, General & Family Dentists," names Dr. Marwan Bassil, Dr. Shabnam Azhar and an endodontist, Dr. Stacey Goldstein, all DMD, starts new patients with an online new-patients form, and publishes Tuesday hours to 8 pm with Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday closed.

Bright Smile Bridgewater, Bridgewater

Bright Smile Bridgewater, at 215 Union Avenue, Suite D, is a general and cosmetic practice whose site names Mallika Bandi, DDS, publishes patient forms online, and lists hours to 6 pm on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.

Bright Smiles Dental Care, Bridgewater

Bright Smiles Dental Care is a Plainfield practice with a second office in the Greenknoll Professional Park at 720 Route 202/206 North; its site names Dr. Ruchika Verma, DDS, takes appointment requests online, and publishes Bridgewater hours on Wednesday only, 10 am to 5 pm.

Chiang and Jones Family Dentistry, Bridgewater

Chiang and Jones Family Dentistry, at 720 Route 202/206, Suite 1A — the address is from the business profile it maintains on Google, as its site does not print one — names Simon Chiang DMD and William F Jones DMD and says it has served the area since the 1970s; on September 3, 2026, the register showed William F Jones as Inactive. New patients are asked to call for forms, and the hours published are weekdays with no evening or Saturday times.

Dental Care Bridgewater, Bridgewater

Dental Care Bridgewater, at 475 North Bridge Street, is a Dental365 location; its page names six dentists, states that "new patients are always welcome," offers online scheduling, and publishes the longest hours in this guide — to 8 pm Monday to Thursday and 9 am to 4 pm on both Saturday and Sunday.

For You Dentistry, Bridgewater

For You Dentistry, at 477 Union Avenue, names Dr. Ding — the register lists Ming Ding — states "New Patients Welcome," and publishes weekday hours of 9 am to 6 pm with weekend and evening appointments available on request; the site does not describe an online booking method.

John H. O'Connor III, D.M.D, Bridgewater

Dr. John H. O'Connor III, D.M.D, practises at 870 Route 202/206 in Bridgewater and at Red Mill Family Dentistry in Clinton, describes "three generations" of the practice, and publishes Saturday hours of 8 am to 4 pm at both offices; the site asks new patients to call.

Nathan C. Steele, DMD, PA, Bridgewater

Nathan C. Steele, DMD, practises at 17 Monroe Street, takes appointment requests and patient forms online, and publishes hours to 6 pm on Monday and 7 pm on Wednesday, with the Saturday line reading "closed until September" on the day we checked.

Park Dental of Martinsville, Martinsville

Park Dental of Martinsville, at 2003 Washington Valley Road in the Martinsville section of Bridgewater, names Jong Park, D.D.S., states "We are welcoming new patients," offers online booking and new-patient forms, and publishes hours on Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 9 am to 5 pm.

Relax Family Dental (Drs. Testa and Muglia), Bridgewater

Relax Family Dental, at 704 Route 202, is the practice of Drs. Testa and Muglia; its website could not be loaded on the day the table was checked, so the two names come from the business profile the practice maintains on Google, and the register showed James A. Testa and Peter J. Muglia as Active. Hours and a booking method could not be read.

Stellar Smiles Bridgewater, Bridgewater

Stellar Smiles Bridgewater, at 7 Monroe Street, names Dr. Megha Desai, D.D.S., serves adults and children, and takes new patients through an appointment request form; its site does not publish hours.

Zufall Health – Bridgewater, Bridgewater

Zufall Health's Bridgewater medical and dental site, at 500 North Bridge Street inside the county's Richard Hall Community Health and Wellness Center, is part of the Zufall Health network of community health centers; its page names Sminu Patel, DDS, and Divya Thakur, DDS, publishes weekday dental hours to 4 or 5 pm, and states, in its own words, "We are not accepting new dental patients in Bridgewater at this time."

Listed in the Market, Not Checked the Same Way

Three practices have an office in Bridgewater Township but did not pass all three tests on the day we checked. They are listed here so that a name you were given is not simply missing, with the reason in each case.

Aesthetic Dental Group, Martinsville

Aesthetic Dental Group, at 1794 Washington Valley Road in Martinsville, has a website that names Dr. John Cross and Dr. Monika Chan, an orthodontist, and publishes evening hours on Monday and Tuesday and occasional Saturdays. On September 3, 2026, the register showed both John M. Cross and Monika Chan as Retired. That does not tell us the office is closed — a retired status is elected by the licensee — but it means no dentist the site names showed as Active, so the practice does not meet the third test, and we could not tell from published sources which dentist a patient would see.

Precision Digital Dentistry, Bridgewater

Precision Digital Dentistry, at 674 Route 202/206, Building 4, Suite 7, names Dr. Joyce Ma and publishes hours on Tuesday and Thursday. We could not find a dentist named Ma on the register under that first name on September 3, 2026; dentists are listed under their legal names, so she may well appear under another, and the correction address below is the fast way to tell us which. Until then the practice is listed here rather than in the table.

Premier Care Dentistry LLC, Bridgewater

Premier Care Dentistry LLC is listed at 475 North Bridge Street, Suite 202 — the same building as Dental Care Bridgewater. We could not find a website for it, and no page it maintains that we could read names a dentist, so there was no name to check against the register.

Common Questions

How do I check a dentist's licence in Bridgewater, NJ?

Go to the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs licence verification site, choose the person search rather than the business search, set the profession to Dentistry and the licence type to Dentist, and enter the last name. The result shows the name, the licence 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 licence: 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 Bridgewater, 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 company — Dental365, Aspen Dental and the Zufall Health network in this guide. 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.

Does "Not published" under new patients mean a dentist in Bridgewater is not taking patients?

No. It means the practice’s website does not describe how a new patient starts — no booking system, no forms, no request form. Every practice in this guide publishes a phone number, and a call will answer the question faster than any website. One practice in the table, Zufall Health, states on its own page that it is not accepting new dental patients in Bridgewater; the table quotes it.

Which dentists in Bridgewater have Saturday hours?

As published on their own sites when we checked: Access Dental (9 am–5 pm), Advanced Dental Care at Bridgewater (9 am–5 pm), Bridgewater Dental Group (8:30 am–1 pm), Dental Care Bridgewater (9 am–4 pm, and Sunday), and Dr. John H. O’Connor III (8 am–4 pm). For You Dentistry says weekend time is available by appointment. Hours change; the table shows what each site said on the date in its header.

Why are there no orthodontists, pediatric dentists or oral surgeons in this guide?

Because they are different categories with different licences and permits, and each gets its own guide. Where a general practice employs a specialist — a pediatric dentist and a prosthodontist at Bridgewater Dental Associates, an endodontist at Bridgewater Family Dental, an oral surgeon at Bridgewater Dental Group — the table says so in the dentists column. Specialist-only practices in the township, including Dental Specialists of Bridgewater, David A. Lipani, DMD, LLC, Loew and Patel Orthodontics, Over the Moon Pediatric Dentistry and The Children’s Dental Center, are not listed here for that reason, and neither is Branchburg Pediatric Dentistry, the one specialist-only practice found in the Branchburg and Raritan sweep.

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 licence 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 Bridgewater Township, Branchburg or Raritan 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 those towns stated on your own website or Google profile, and at least one named dentist whose New Jersey licence shows as Active. If you meet them, you go on.
