The Guide: Oral Surgeons in Franklin Township (Somerset), Manville, North Plainfield and South Bound Brook, NJ
How We Selected These Practices
This guide covers Franklin Township (Somerset), Manville, North Plainfield and South Bound Brook.
A practice appears here if it has an office you can walk into in one of those towns, and at least one surgeon identified on the practice’s own website as an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, then looked up on the New Jersey license register. That is a test, not a judgment. They are listed alphabetically.
Where fewer than five practices in these towns met the test, other practices that met the same test are listed in a second table under Nearby options, each with the town it is based in.
About This Guide
This guide is produced by Garden State Circle. Practices appear here because they meet the criteria described above — an office in the towns named above, and a named oral and maxillofacial surgeon. 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 the New Jersey State Board of Dentistry’s license register in September and October 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. Where a row carries a verification date, that is when we last checked that business’s record ourselves. A row without one has not been checked recently — that is a fact about our work, not about the business. 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 Franklin Township (Somerset), Manville, North Plainfield and South Bound Brook. Contact the publisher at jake@gardenstatecircle.com. How every guide is made, in one place: how every guide is made.

Checked against the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs Dentistry licensee search.
License and permit status is what the New Jersey State Board of Dentistry’s public register showed on October 1, 2026, or on the earlier date a cell prints, looked up by name; not found by us is a fact about our search, not about the surgeon. A register city is the city the register printed for that license. Board certification is printed as each practice states it on its own website.
A Note on Reading the Table
Board certification is printed as each practice states it on its own website. We have not checked it against a certifying board’s own list.

Common Questions
Is there an oral surgeon in these towns?
Yes. Nilesh R. Patel, DMD, MD has an office in these towns, as the first table shows.
What does an oral and maxillofacial surgeon do that my dentist doesn’t?
An oral and maxillofacial surgeon completes a hospital-based surgical residency after dental school. In practice that means impacted teeth, difficult extractions, implants, jaw surgery and deeper sedation in the office.
How do I check a license myself?
The New Jersey State Board of Dentistry publishes a licensee search. Search under Dentistry by the surgeon’s last name. The record shows the license number, any specialty or anesthesia permit, and the status of each.
