Convenient Access from Riverside
A missing tooth, a loose denture or a crown that keeps failing is easier to fix when the office is close, and Dental Arts Group is roughly 15 minutes from downtown Riverside. As a dentist Riverside, NJ residents can reach along the river road, we focus on keeping teeth healthy and rebuilding the ones that need help. Our office sits on Maple Avenue in Pennsauken Township, with an in-house endodontist for root canal cases. Appointments start at 8:00 AM from Tuesday to Friday.
The trip begins at Riverside's River LINE station, beside the Watch Case clock tower and the Riverside Public Library. Follow Franklin and Lafayette Streets to St. Mihiel Drive and stay on County Route 543 as it becomes Broad Street, Public Road and New River Road, hugging the Delaware for about five miles. Swing onto NJ 73 south for a short stretch, exit to Haddonfield Road southbound, and turn right at Maple Avenue. 7675 Maple Ave, Pennsauken, NJ 08109 is just west of Haddonfield Road, 8.7 miles from the station, and we also welcome patients from neighboring Delran and nearby Cinnaminson.
A River Town With Deep Roots, and a Dental Office Built for the Long Haul
Samuel Bechtold founded the town in 1851 as a resort he called Progress, and it took the name Riverside for its spot on the Delaware River. Watch case and hosiery mills later turned it into a working town, and the clock tower of the old Philadelphia Watch Case Company building still marks the skyline. The Township of Riverside remains a compact Burlington County community with a walkable downtown and apartments above street-level shops.
In an established town like this, many adults arrive with a long dental history: older fillings, a crown or two, maybe a bridge or a partial denture. Our dentists look at that work with fresh eyes and plan repairs one priority at a time.
Families are part of the picture too. The local school district runs an elementary, a middle and a high school, and Delanco students attend Riverside High School as well. Riders on the River LINE or NJ Transit bus 419 can still reach the office, though the river-road drive is the simplest option. Parents can book a child's cleaning and their own crown visit back to back.
Restorative Care Riverside Residents Ask About Most
Missing teeth change how you chew, how you speak and how the remaining teeth shift over time. Dental implants, implant-supported dentures and traditional full or partial dentures each solve that problem in a different way. Our dental implants learning center offers a free consultation, so you can compare options without committing to anything.
For a single damaged tooth, a digital ceramic crown in zirconium or lithium disilicate can restore strength and shape. If the nerve is infected, root canal therapy usually takes one visit with local anesthesia, and a crown then protects the treated tooth. Teeth that were treated years ago and are acting up again may need endodontic retreatment.
Returning after years away starts with The DAG Comprehensive Exam. It includes digital x-rays, a periodontal exam, an oral cancer screening, a review of existing fillings, crowns and implants, and a consultation on any missing teeth. From there, you and your dentist agree on what needs care first and what can wait.
Comfort matters, too, especially for patients who have avoided the dentist for a while. Dr. Alejandra Hernandez completed Nitrous Oxide Certification Training, and dental sedation is available during oral surgery. Talk with us about any worries before treatment so the plan feels manageable.
Healthy gums hold everything else in place. Our Patient Education topics explain periodontitis, bad breath and proper brushing technique in plain terms. Reading through them before a visit helps you ask the right questions about your own gums.
Treatment Options From a Dentist Riverside, NJ Patients Can Trust
Implants & Dentures
Titanium implants combine a post, an abutment and a custom restoration to replace a lost tooth. The TeethXpress® procedure uses Laser-Lok implants, and implant-supported dentures give a full arch more stability than a denture alone.
Cavity Repair
White composite fillings replace decay with tooth-colored material. Larger breaks call for digital ceramic crowns, including crowns placed after root canal treatment to protect the tooth for years to come.
Endodontics
Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, pain when biting, gum swelling and a darkening tooth are all signs of possible infection. Root canal therapy and endodontic retreatment are handled in-house by our board-certified endodontist.
Oral Surgery
Extractions, implant placement and bone grafting prepare the mouth for a new tooth or denture. Planning may include x-rays or CT scans, and sedation is available during oral surgery.
Healthy Gums
Deep cleaning removes buildup below the gumline, usually over two visits under local anesthesia. Afterward, periodontal maintenance cleanings may increase to every three months to keep gum disease under control.
Monday appointments run until 7:00 PM, which helps adult children who drive a parent to appointments after work. Tuesday through Thursday hours are 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Friday ends at 1:30 PM.
Meet Your Pennsauken Dentists
General care is led by Dr. Sonal Patel and Dr. Alejandra Hernandez. Root canal cases go to Dr. Chiara Y. Quick, a board-certified endodontist who completed her endodontic residency at Temple University, where she also taught undergraduate dental students emergency care.
Insurance & Financing
Our office works with many PPO plans, including Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, Aetna and Horizon BCBS. It does not take HMO, DMO, Medicaid or Medicare plans. Implant patients can start with a free consultation, and CareCredit and Sunbit financing are available for larger treatment plans.
What Others Are Saying
The team here are professional, friendly, and technologically savvy. The use of newer equipment to help get me in and out quicker was appreciated. The team is knowledgeable and quick to answer whatever questions I have. They found a small cavity and I was able to stay and get it taken care of right after my cleaning. 5 star service, I highly recommend.
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 Riverside, and how do I get there?
It is 8.7 miles from the Riverside River LINE station, usually about 15 minutes by car. County Route 543 runs south along the river to NJ 73, then Haddonfield Road leads to Maple Avenue. That direct river-road drive is a big part of why we work well as a dentist Riverside, NJ families can visit regularly.
What are my options if I am missing several teeth?
You have three main choices: dental implants, implant-supported dentures, or traditional full or partial dentures. Implants replace individual teeth with a titanium post and crown, while implant-supported dentures anchor a full arch. The TeethXpress® procedure with Laser-Lok implants is also offered, and our dentists review which approach fits your mouth and budget.
Is the dental implant consultation free?
Yes. The dental implants learning center at our office offers a free consultation. It is a chance to talk through your missing teeth, ask questions about implants and dentures, and learn what the process would involve. If you move forward, the costs are discussed before treatment, and CareCredit and Sunbit can help with payments.
What is endodontic retreatment?
Endodontic retreatment is a second root canal on a tooth that was treated before but has become painful or infected again. The old filling material is removed, and the canals are cleaned and sealed once more. Our in-house endodontist, Dr. Quick, provides retreatment, which can save a tooth that might otherwise need to come out.
What comfort options are there for nervous patients?
Several. Local anesthesia numbs the area for fillings, root canals and deep cleanings, and dental sedation is available during oral surgery. Dr. Alejandra Hernandez has also completed Nitrous Oxide Certification Training. Sharing your worries when you book lets our dentists talk through what to expect, so each step feels familiar before it starts.
