Convenient Access from Riverton
Families weighing a dentist Riverton, NJ neighbors can reach without crossing a bridge will find Dental Arts Group about 10 minutes south in Pennsauken Township. Our dentists handle checkups, gum care, fillings, crowns and implant work in one office on Maple Avenue. From the gas-lit Victorian blocks near the Riverton Yacht Club pier, NJ 73 is only a few turns away. Monday hours run until 7:00 PM, and Tuesday through Friday start at 8:00 AM.
Start at the Riverton Free Library at 306 Main Street and follow Main Street to Broad Street, which carries you through Palmyra and becomes Public Road and then New River Road. Join NJ 73 south just below the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge, without crossing it, and take the exit for Haddonfield Road heading south. Turn right onto Maple Avenue and look for 7675 Maple Ave, Pennsauken, NJ 08109, just west of Haddonfield Road, after about 5.4 miles in all. Patients from Cinnaminson and Delran use the same NJ 73 corridor.
A Dental Home for Riverton's Long-Rooted Households
Riverton began in 1851 as a summer retreat for ten Philadelphia families, laid out by architect Samuel Sloan along the Delaware River. Sidewalks, gas lamps and six styles of Victorian houses still give this small Burlington County borough a settled, unhurried feel. That sense of permanence suits a dental office you can stick with for years, where each visit builds on the last instead of starting from scratch.
New patients from Riverton begin with The DAG Comprehensive Exam, the standard first visit at our office. It brings together digital x-rays, a periodontal exam, intraoral photography and an oral cancer screening. Our dentists check for cavities under 2.5–6.0x magnification and review every existing filling, crown and implant. For a mouth that has collected decades of dental work, that review sets clear priorities.
The exam also leaves room for a conversation about your goals, a consultation on any missing teeth and a screening for sleep-disordered breathing. Intraoral photos put the same close-up view on the screen for you, so a worn filling or a hairline crack is something you can see for yourself. If another specialist is needed, referrals and e-prescriptions are handled from the same visit.
Planning Dental Visits Around Work, School and the River LINE
The River LINE runs through the middle of town on the old Camden-Trenton steam-train route, linking the borough with Camden and Trenton. Drivers have it even simpler, since the trip to our office follows CR 543 and NJ 73 with no bridge to pay for. Monday is the day to aim for if you work standard hours, because the office stays open until 7:00 PM. Tuesday through Thursday run 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Friday wraps up at 1:30 PM.
Local children attend Riverton Elementary School from pre-K through eighth grade and then move on to Palmyra High School. Booking siblings for checkups on the same morning saves a second trip, and an 8:00 AM slot can work before a late school start or a day off. Sealants, cleanings and x-rays for kids fit neatly into that kind of back-to-back visit.
Long-settled households usually need a blend of upkeep and repair. Dr. Sonal Patel favors long-term treatment options that help save natural teeth, and she recommends dental implants when a tooth cannot be saved. That order of thinking matters to patients with older crowns or large fillings who would rather keep what they have for as long as it stays healthy.
Grandparents who wear a partial or full denture are welcome at the same office as the rest of the family. A denture that rocks, rubs or no longer fits well is worth a look, and implant-supported dentures are one way to add stability. Keeping several generations with one practice also means one phone number to call when something comes up.
Services From a Dentist Riverton, NJ Families Can Reach Easily
Cavity Repair
Patients with old silver fillings or a cracked tooth have tooth-colored choices. Our dentists place white composite fillings and digital ceramic crowns made of zirconium or lithium disilicate. When decay reaches the nerve, root canal therapy is usually a single visit with local anesthesia.
Implants & Dentures
A titanium implant replaces one missing tooth with a post, an abutment and a custom restoration. Full and partial dentures, implant-supported dentures and the TeethXpress® procedure with Laser-Lok implants cover larger gaps. Our dental implants learning center offers a free consultation to talk through the options.
Healthy Gums
The DAG Periodontal Disease Program gives patients with gum disease a structured plan, starting with treatment and a re-evaluation one month later. Maintenance cleanings may then move to every three months. If a case needs more, our team refers you to a gum specialist.
Cavity & Disease Prevention
Regular check-ups, cleanings and digital x-rays keep small problems small for Riverton families. Sealants protect back teeth, ideally starting around age six as permanent teeth come in. An oral cancer screening is part of routine prevention for adults as well.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Porcelain veneers, crowns and tooth-colored fillings can refresh front teeth that have chipped or darkened over the years. Gum contouring evens out an uneven gumline, and laser technology often makes that procedure quick.
Root canal problems that need extra attention stay in the building too. Dr. Chiara Y. Quick, a board-certified endodontist, is our in-house specialist, so a tooth that needs retreatment does not mean starting over at an unfamiliar office.

The team here are professional, friendly, and technologically savvy. The use of newer equipment to help get me in and out quicker was appreciated.

Toni L.
I have been going here for years! The hygienist is the best. I never have any discomfort when cleaning and he does a great job. The doctor has taken over this practice and she is so nice, very thorough and up-to-date on the latest technology and procedures! My kids have tried other dentists and prefer Dental Arts Group in Pennsauken!
Sharon M.
Very understanding team. I highly recommend them. They are a fine group of people.
Dolly M.
I recently had my first cleaning at Dental Arts Group in Pennsauken and the experience was fantastic. I asked them about an issue with my gums. I have been asking dentists for years and for the first time ever I got an actual answer! They took the time to actually sit down and teach me about my mouth and what I can do better. Even cooler, they take high resolution pictures with this cool camera of any potential problem areas so that at my next cleaning they can compare to see if it’s getting better. I feel like I’m in such great hands here I will definitely be back!

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Dental Arts Group from Riverton, and how do I get there?
Dental Arts Group is about 5.4 miles from the Riverton Free Library, roughly a 10-minute drive. Take Broad Street through Palmyra onto New River Road, then NJ 73 south and Haddonfield Road south to Maple Avenue. For anyone choosing a dentist Riverton, NJ residents can reach quickly, the office sits at 7675 Maple Ave, just west of Haddonfield Road.
Is an oral cancer screening part of a regular checkup?
Yes. An oral cancer screening is part of our cavity and disease prevention care, and it is built into The DAG Comprehensive Exam that every new patient receives. The check is quick and done during the exam itself. Regular visits mean any change in the tissues of your mouth can be noticed and looked at early.
Can I get a cleaning if I have not seen a dentist in years?
Yes, and there is no need to feel embarrassed about the gap. New patients start with an exam and x-rays to see where things stand. Healthy gums mean a standard cleaning, and uninsured new patients may qualify for the $99 cleaning special, while gum disease may call for a deep cleaning first.
Is there a toll on the drive from Riverton?
No. The route joins NJ 73 south of the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge, so you never cross the bridge or pay its toll. The rest of the trip uses county roads and Haddonfield Road. NJ 73 gets busier at rush hour, so leave a few extra minutes when you book an 8:00 AM visit.
Do you accept Tricare or federal employee dental plans?
Yes, several are on the in-network list. The office works with United Concordia, including Tricare TDP, as well as BCBS Federal (FEP), MetLife FEDVIP and GEHA through Connection Dental. Confirm your specific plan when you book, because in-network lists can change from year to year.
