Convenient Access from Delair
Delair is a section of Pennsauken Township on the Delaware River, and Dental Arts Group sits across the same township on Maple Avenue, about 7 minutes away by car. For anyone who wants a dentist near Delair without leaving the township, that short drive covers cleanings, fillings, root canals, whitening and clear aligners. The route never touches a highway, so it stays predictable even when the bridges into Philadelphia back up. Mondays run until 7:00 PM for patients who work across the river.
Begin at the Pennsauken Transit Center on Derousse Avenue, where the River LINE meets the Atlantic City Line. Take Derousse Avenue to River Road and head south, then bear onto Cove Road and follow it southeast across the township. Cove Road brings you to Maple Avenue, where 7675 Maple Ave, Pennsauken, NJ 08109 stands just west of Haddonfield Road, 3.3 miles from the station. Nearby Merchantville and Golden Triangle are other neighborhoods we serve.
Close to Home for Delair's Bridge and Rail Commuters
Few corners of Camden County are as tied to Philadelphia as Delair. The Betsy Ross Bridge lands here, and just south of it the Delair Bridge, a railroad lift bridge from 1896, was the first bridge of any kind between Philadelphia and New Jersey. It still carries the Atlantic City Line today, and NJ 90 feeds traffic onto the Betsy Ross Bridge, which opened in 1976.
For residents who work across the river or ride the trains, the commute shapes when a dental visit makes sense. Our Monday hours stretch to 7:00 PM, so a checkup can follow a day in the city. Tuesday through Friday, the office opens at 8:00 AM, early enough for an appointment before heading over the bridge.
Because the office is in the same township, there is no tolled crossing between your home and our chair. The drive uses local county roads from River Road to Maple Avenue, which keeps it short and simple.
The Transit Center itself opened in October 2013 as the transfer point between the River LINE, running from Trenton to Camden, and the Atlantic City Line to Philadelphia. It offers free commuter parking on Derousse Avenue. Riders coming home on a Monday evening can drive straight from the station to a late appointment at our office.
Practical Dental Advice for Delair Households
Families with young children at Delair Elementary, the district's K-3 school on Derousse Avenue, can book cleanings and checkups for the kids and themselves on the same morning. Sealants, ideally placed from about age six, protect back teeth during the years when brushing is still a work in progress. Our Patient Education pages walk through brushing technique and flossing so kids can practice at home.
Toothaches never pick a convenient time. If you are new to our office and something hurts, the $69 Exam & X-Ray special covers a full oral health exam, all standard x-rays and treatment recommendations. A focused emergency exam may come first so the problem tooth gets attention right away.
Adults who have put off care during a busy stretch may have several needs at once. A worn filling, a sensitive tooth and a little staining can all be handled through one coordinated plan. Our dentists explain the order of treatment and the costs before anything starts, so there are no surprises.
Straightening teeth is easier to fit into a commuter's week than many adults expect. Clear aligners come out for meals, and the Invisalign learning center offers a free consultation with free impressions on the iTeroยฎ scanner. How long treatment takes varies by case, and your scan is the starting point for that answer.
Services for Patients Seeking a Dentist Near Delair
Endodontics
An aching tooth that lingers after hot coffee or hurts on biting may need root canal therapy. Our in-house endodontist, Dr. Chiara Y. Quick, provides endodontic care that includes retreatment, so treatment stays in one familiar office.
Cavity Repair
White composite fillings repair small cavities in a tooth-colored material. Bigger damage gets a digital ceramic crown in zirconium or lithium disilicate, and root canal therapy is usually done in a single visit with local anesthesia.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening refreshes teeth dulled by coffee and tea. Take-home whitening is also available for patients who would rather brighten their smile between train rides and work.
Invisalignยฎ
Clear SmartTrack aligners straighten teeth without brackets. Impressions are taken with a digital 3D scanner, and you switch to a new set of aligners about every two weeks.
Cavity & Disease Prevention
Check-ups, cleanings and digital x-rays catch problems while they are small. Prevention also includes oral cancer screening, and sealants protect children's molars.
New patients start with The DAG Comprehensive Exam, which looks at your health history, goals, gums, existing dental work and any missing teeth. It also includes intraoral photography, so you see what our dentists see. Referrals and e-prescriptions are handled during the same appointment when needed.

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.

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 Delair, and how do I get there?
The drive from the Pennsauken Transit Center is about 3.3 miles and takes around 7 minutes. Derousse Avenue leads to River Road south, then Cove Road crosses the township to Maple Avenue. Since Delair and the office share one township, it is an easy choice for a dentist near Delair, with no highways or tolls along the way.
What happens if I need a specialist?
Some specialty care stays right here, since our in-house endodontist provides root canal therapy and retreatment. For other needs, specialist referrals and e-prescriptions are part of The DAG Comprehensive Exam, and patients with advanced gum disease are referred to a gum specialist when needed. Your dentist explains why a referral makes sense before you go.
Am I too old to straighten my teeth with Invisalign?
No. Our Invisalign learning center describes clear aligners as best for older teens and adults, so grown-ups are a core part of who it serves. Impressions are taken with a digital 3D scanner, and a free consultation shows what treatment would involve. How long it takes varies by case.
What is a root canal like at your office?
Most root canals here take a single visit, and the tooth is numbed with local anesthesia first. The infected pulp is cleaned out, the canals are sealed, and a crown usually follows to protect the tooth. The office also has a board-certified in-house endodontist, Dr. Chiara Y. Quick.
How often do I need a full dental exam?
The DAG Comprehensive Exam is typically repeated every three to five years. It is the standard first visit for every new patient and includes digital x-rays, a gum exam, an oral cancer screening and a cavity check under magnification. Routine check-ups and cleanings fill the time between those full exams.
