Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services address chips, cracks, discoloration, and misalignment through personalized treatments. We combine artistic vision with technical expertise to create natural-looking smile transformations. Patients benefit from improved confidence and facial aesthetics through procedures like veneers, whitening, and bonding.
Dental Implants
We provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that prevent bone loss and restore full functionality. Our implant specialists handle both the surgical placement and restoration process in one location. This comprehensive approach ensures better outcomes and convenience for patients missing one or more teeth.
Invisalign
Our Invisalign Elite Premier Providers offer discreet orthodontic treatment for straightening teeth without traditional braces. The clear aligners correct crowding, spacing, and bite issues in 12-18 months. We serve both adult professionals and teens seeking subtle orthodontic improvements.
Porcelain Veneers
Custom-crafted veneers transform smiles by correcting shape, size, and color imperfections. Our specialists design each veneer to complement facial features while maintaining natural tooth structure. This durable solution provides long-lasting aesthetic improvements for chipped, stained, or misshapen teeth.
Oral Surgery
Our oral surgery services include extractions, implant placement, and corrective procedures performed with advanced techniques. Board-certified specialists ensure patient comfort using various sedation options. We coordinate surgical treatments with other dental work for comprehensive care plans.

There are better dentists that are more affordable and don't tell you that you need so much unnecessary work done. They do have an endodontist specialist, TMJ specialist, oral surgeon, prosthodontist and general dentist. It's one stop shopping and easy to be referred to each dentist for unnecessary work. I had an inferior crown put on which eventually led to needing a root canal. All the while I was told there was nothing wrong with the tooth even though I had pain with it. If you want to be price gouged then this is your dental office. I decided to go elsewhere and found a caring

Dr Meola, the owner, is a third-generation dentist who takes his practice extremely seriously, and shows genuine care to his patients. Whenever I had a concern, he found the time to address it, even during very busy days. He's been more than fair to me in his treatment plans and cost estimates, putting me at ease. I've been his patient for over three years now, and am not going anywhere else.
I've been seen by a variety of other dental practitioners and technicians, and everybody was kind, thoughtful, gentle, eager to avoid causing unnecessary pain, and understanding.

It is not every day that I would review a dentist office. But this practice is exceptional. Of course, I have huge dental anxiety. I was a little intimidated by all of their great positive energy initially (let's face it, I dont usually go to the dentist to have fun) but this practice truly does everything in their power to make the experience pleasant. Each of the doctors has been excellent, gentle, clear communicators. From Dr. Meola to Dr. Maguire to Dr. Moroi, each is individually outstanding. The support staff is proficient and professional. I have been coming here for approximately

TERRIBLE service
I've NEVER talked to such RUDE and unprofessional people. When I called the office, the person who answered the phone sounds like she doesnt know how to talk nicely. When I asked questions, she had no knowledge about whatever I asked.......
Luckily this is not the office I get my treatments. I am just calling for my friend. Anyway I will NEVER choose this place.
