Convenient Access from Hi-Nella
Hi-Nella is one of the smallest municipalities in New Jersey, with barely three miles of road inside its borders. Dental Arts Group, on Gibbsboro Road in Clementon, is a 7-minute drive from Borough Hall and a natural choice of dentist Hi-Nella, NJ residents can share as a household. Three general dentists and an endodontist work side by side here, so a single phone call can line up checkups for parents and kids alike.
Start at Hi-Nella Borough Hall on Wykagyl Road and follow it to Ogg Avenue, which carries you out to the White Horse Pike (US 30). Head east on the Pike for about 2.7 miles through Stratford, Laurel Springs and Lindenwold, then turn right onto Gibbsboro Road. Our office at 250 Gibbsboro Rd, Clementon, NJ 08021 sits at the corner of Ohio Avenue, less than a tenth of a mile off the Pike, and the full run is about 3.1 miles with no tolls. Clementon Lake and the amusement park on its shore are roughly half a mile from the building, and you can pull up our office on Google Maps before you leave.
Your neighbors in Stratford and Laurel Springs use the same stretch of US 30 to get here. Traffic signals along the Pike can add a few minutes at rush hour.
A Dentist Hi-Nella, NJ Households Can Share
The borough has no interstate, federal or state highway of its own, only a few minor county roads. That quiet layout is part of its charm, but it also means most errands, including dental visits, happen in a neighboring town. Our Clementon office keeps that errand short: one turn onto the Pike, one turn off it, and you are here. Riders without a car can use NJ Transit bus 403, the Turnersville–Camden line that serves Clementon.
The two boroughs also share a history. Hi-Nella was formed on April 23, 1929, from part of the old Clementon Township, on the very date Lindenwold, Pine Hill and Somerdale became boroughs. Clementon itself split off from that township four years earlier. Both boroughs sit in Camden County, and many local streets trace back to Hi-Nella Estates, a development of the late 1920s.
That long view shapes how we work. Every new patient starts with a full exam that becomes the baseline for future visits, and costs are discussed before treatment so there are no surprises. From there, our goal is to keep natural teeth healthy, catch small problems early and plan larger work only when it is needed.
Small towns run on word of mouth, and neighbors tend to compare notes on doctors, mechanics and dentists. We would rather earn that conversation with steady, unhurried care than with flashy promises. A cleaning that starts on time, a clear explanation of what the x-rays show and a written plan you can take home go a long way on a street where everyone knows everyone.
Dental Care Notes for Hi-Nella Families
The town runs no schools of its own. Children in PreK through grade 3 attend Parkview Elementary School in Stratford, students in grades 4 through 8 go to Samuel S. Yellin School, and teenagers move on to Sterling High School in Somerdale. Because every student here already commutes a little, we try to make dental visits easy to fold into that routine.
Our Monday hours run until 6 PM, which helps after a school day or an early shift. Tuesday and Wednesday we open at 8 AM, Thursday runs 8 AM to 4 PM, and the office is open one Friday a month, 8 AM to 1 PM. Booking siblings back to back is a simple way to save a second trip down the Pike.
Sealants are one of the easiest wins for school-age kids. Our prevention page recommends them ideally from age six, when the first permanent molars arrive. Pair that with regular cleanings and digital x-rays, and most children can stay ahead of cavities through their Stratford and Sterling years.
Toothaches rarely wait for a scheduled checkup. New patients with a sudden problem can use our $69 Exam & X-Ray special, which includes a full oral health exam, all standard x-rays and treatment recommendations. It is also a sensible first step for adults who have let a few years slip by since their last visit.
Services Hi-Nella Patients Use Most
Cavity & Disease Prevention
Check-ups, cleanings, digital x-rays, sealants and an oral cancer screening form the core of every routine visit. For kids heading to Parkview or Yellin, this is where most of their dental care happens.
The DAG Comprehensive Exam
New patients begin with this detailed exam, which includes a periodontal check, intraoral photos and a cavity evaluation under 2.5–6.0x magnification. Because it is so thorough, it becomes the baseline we compare against at future visits.
Cavity Repair
When a cavity does show up, we repair it with white composite fillings that blend with the tooth. Larger damage may call for a digital ceramic crown in zirconia or lithium disilicate, and we can also replace older silver fillings.
Healthy Gums
Gum screenings are part of every adult visit. If deeper cleaning is needed, scaling and root planing are followed by a re-check one month later and maintenance visits about every three months.
Teeth Whitening
Parents planning for a graduation, wedding or family photo can choose professional in-office whitening, done in a single visit. Take-home whitening is another option, and our team can help you decide which suits you.
Meet Your Clementon Dentists
James Marmo, DMD, and Dr. Evan Ridge lead much of the family care our Wykagyl Road neighbors receive. Dr. Marmo has more than 25 years of experience treating patients across South Jersey, and he favors early intervention that keeps natural teeth in place. Dr. Ridge makes educational visits to local elementary schools to teach children about dental hygiene.
Insurance & Financing
We work with many PPO plans, including Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, Aetna, Guardian, Horizon BCBS and United Concordia. The office does not take HMO or DMO plans, Medicaid or Medicare. New patients without insurance can start with our $99 Cleaning, Exam, & X-Ray special, offered when there is no periodontal disease.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Dental Arts Group from Hi-Nella, and how do I get there?
Our office is about 3.1 miles from Borough Hall, roughly a 7-minute drive. You take Wykagyl Road to Ogg Avenue, follow the White Horse Pike (US 30) east, then turn onto Gibbsboro Road. For anyone who wants a dentist Hi-Nella, NJ residents can reach without tolls or an expressway, the trip is short and simple.
What can a nervous Hi-Nella patient expect after years away from the dentist?
Expect a visit that starts with a conversation about your concerns. The first appointment is an exam with digital x-rays and intraoral photos, so you can see what the dentist sees. Every option and its cost is explained before treatment begins, and you decide the pace. Problems can be handled one step at a time, starting with what matters most.
What can Hi-Nella parents pack in school lunches to protect kids' teeth?
Pack foods that are easy on teeth: cheese, yogurt, crunchy vegetables, fresh fruit and water or plain milk. Sticky snacks such as fruit snacks and sweet drinks in pouches cling to teeth and feed cavity-causing bacteria all afternoon. If a treat goes in, serving it with the meal rather than as a separate snack limits how long teeth are exposed.
How often does a Hi-Nella adult need the full comprehensive exam?
Typically every three to five years, with routine checkups and cleanings in between. The full exam is standard for every new patient and covers x-rays, a gum exam, intraoral photos, an oral cancer screening and a sleep-disordered breathing screening. Repeating it on that schedule gives our dentists a clear record of how your mouth changes over time.
What does the $99 new-patient special include for residents without insurance?
It covers a full dental cleaning, an oral health exam and all standard x-rays for $99. The offer is for new patients without insurance and applies when there is no periodontal disease. If your exam shows gum disease, our team will walk you through the Healthy Gums treatment options and costs before anything begins.
