Convenient Access from Erlton
Erlton residents can head straight up Haddonfield Road and reach Dental Arts Group in about 7 minutes, just over the line in Pennsauken Township. Neighbors who want a dentist near Erlton for cosmetic work, crowns, implants or root canal care will find all of it at one office. The office keeps 8:00 AM starts from Tuesday through Friday, plus Monday hours until 7:00 PM. That makes a quick trip north easy to fit into an ordinary week.
Starting at Erlton Park at Jefferson and Grant, take Jefferson Avenue to Park Boulevard and turn onto Grove Street, which becomes Haddonfield Road. Head north across Route 70 and Route 38, passing the Cherry Hill Mall area, and keep going into Pennsauken. Turn left on Maple Avenue to arrive at 7675 Maple Ave, Pennsauken, NJ 08109, just west of Haddonfield Road, after 3.2 miles. We also serve nearby Barclay and the wider Cherry Hill area.
A Neighborhood With History, and Smiles With Some Mileage
Erlton is one of the older neighborhoods of Cherry Hill Township in Camden County. Its firehouse on Route 70, now Cherry Hill Fire Station 2, was built in 1927 by the Erlton Fire Company, and the neighborhood takes its name from the developer who helped build it. Erlton and neighboring Ellisburg were once counted together by the census, and both sit along the western edge of the township. Route 70 through the neighborhood is known locally as Marlton Pike, and the Cooper River forms Cherry Hill's southern border nearby.
Green space is part of daily life here. Erlton Park has courts, a softball field and a playground, and Maria Barnaby Greenwald Memorial Park runs along the Cooper River just south of Route 70. A short ride away, Cooper River Park draws rowers to its long straightaway and walkers and cyclists to more than five miles of paths.
Dental work ages, too. After a couple of decades, older crowns, larger fillings and the occasional missing tooth are common, and our dentists approach that history with one question first: what can be saved?
Restoring and Refreshing Smiles in Erlton
Dr. Sonal Patel recommends long-term treatment options that help save teeth, and she turns to dental implants when a tooth cannot be saved. For an Erlton patient with a cracked molar, that might mean a crown instead of an extraction. For a tooth beyond repair, a titanium implant with an abutment and custom restoration fills the gap.
Cosmetic goals deserve the same care. Porcelain veneers can reshape front teeth, tooth-colored fillings can replace dark ones, and gum contouring can even out a gumline. Whitening, either in the office or with a take-home kit, brightens the result.
New patients begin with The DAG Comprehensive Exam, which reviews existing fillings, crowns and implants under 2.5–6.0x magnification. Digital x-rays and intraoral photos show where older work is holding up and where it is not. That honest look comes before any cosmetic or restorative plan.
Patients without insurance can join DAG Prime Savings, our in-house membership, which takes 20% off general treatment and includes an annual comprehensive exam. That discount adds up when an older smile needs several crowns or fillings replaced over time.
Something breaks before you have a chance to plan? New patients can use the $69 Exam & X-Ray special, which includes a full oral health exam, all standard x-rays and treatment recommendations. A focused emergency exam may come first, so the urgent problem gets attention before the full workup.
Restorative and Cosmetic Care From a Dentist Near Erlton
Cosmetic Dentistry
Gum contouring trims an uneven gumline, with laser technology that often speeds the procedure along. Porcelain veneers hide chips, gaps and stains on the front teeth, while crowns rebuild teeth with more damage.
Cavity Repair
Digital ceramic crowns in zirconium or lithium disilicate restore broken or heavily filled teeth. Small cavities get white composite fillings that match the surrounding enamel. A tooth that has had a root canal usually needs a crown afterward to protect it.
Implants & Dentures
Single implants, implant-supported dentures and traditional dentures all replace missing teeth. A free consultation through our implants learning center helps you compare them. The TeethXpress® procedure with Laser-Lok implants is also available.
Endodontics
Root canal therapy saves teeth with infected nerves, and endodontic retreatment addresses older root canals that are causing trouble. Our in-house endodontist treats these cases at the same office.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening lifts years of coffee and tea stains. A take-home option lets you continue at your own pace after the first appointment.
Want to read up before your first appointment? Our Patient Education topics cover tooth anatomy, brushing technique, flossing, bad breath and periodontitis. They are a useful primer for anyone weighing crowns, implants or cosmetic changes.

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 Erlton, and how do I get there?
Erlton Park is about 3.2 miles from our office, a drive of roughly 7 minutes. Park Boulevard and Grove Street lead to Haddonfield Road, which runs north across Route 70 and Route 38 to Maple Avenue. That one straight road is what makes us a practical dentist near Erlton for regular visits.
Do I need to replace an old crown that still feels fine?
Not necessarily. A crown that fits well and shows no decay underneath can stay in place. During The DAG Comprehensive Exam, our dentists check existing crowns under magnification and with digital x-rays, looking for gaps at the edges or decay beneath. If a crown does need replacing, a digital ceramic crown is the usual choice.
Can gum contouring fix a gummy smile?
Yes, gum contouring is designed for that. It reshapes the gumline so teeth look more even and less of the gum shows when you smile. Our cosmetic dentistry page notes that laser technology often makes the procedure quick. It can be combined with veneers or whitening for a fuller smile makeover.
Why do I need a crown after a root canal?
A crown protects a tooth that has lost structure to decay, old fillings or the root canal itself. Our dentists use digital ceramic crowns in zirconium or lithium disilicate for this step. Root canal therapy is usually a single visit with local anesthesia, and the crown follows to restore normal chewing strength.
Do you accept discount dental plans like Aetna Vital Savings?
Yes. Along with PPO insurance, the office lists several discount plans, including Aetna Vital Savings, Aetna Access, BCBS Centurion, Careington 500 series and Cigna. Patients without any plan can look at DAG Prime Savings instead. Confirm your plan when you book so the savings are applied the way you expect.
