Convenient Access from Cookstown
A 4-minute drive is about all it takes to get from the center of Cookstown to Dental Arts Group at 4 Jacobstown Rd in New Egypt. For anyone searching for a dentist near Cookstown, that short hop turns a checkup, a filling or a look at a sore tooth into a quick errand instead of a half-day outing. Our dentists treat children, teens and adults, so one office can look after the whole household.
From the New Hanover Township Municipal Building at 2 Hockamick Road, turn onto Browns Mills-Cookstown Road (County Route 667) for a few yards, then head north on Main Street (County Route 616), the village's historic main street. Route 616 keeps its number as it becomes Cookstown-New Egypt Road and then Maple Avenue, running northeast into New Egypt. Turn left onto Jacobstown Road (County Route 528); the office sits a few hundred feet west of the corner where Jacobstown Road, Main Street and Maple Avenue meet. The whole trip is roughly 2.2 miles, and our Google Maps listing can route you from your own driveway.
Cookstown shares this quiet corner of Burlington County with neighboring Jacobstown and with Wrightstown, which sits farther along the same Route 616. Browns Mills lies farther south along Route 667.
A Practice Next Door for Cookstown Families
Cookstown is a small village of single-family homes and farm fields gathered around a historic Main Street. It is also the seat of New Hanover Township, whose offices share a building with the municipal court on Hockamick Road. The village takes its name from William Cooke, who ran a grist mill built here in 1721, and by 1883 it had a general store, a post office, two hotels and a blacksmith shop.
The township keeps that past in view. The Godfrey House on Main Street, a Georgian and Federal farmhouse that began as the Emley family homestead and later belonged to Medal of Honor recipient General Edward Godfrey, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and a restored one-room schoolhouse stands along the road toward Browns Mills. You can read more about the village on the New Hanover Township website.
Households in a village this size usually want one practice that knows their history, keeps every chart in one place and notices when something changes between visits. That is how our team likes to work. Our dentists explain what they find and the options, so you can plan treatment at a pace that suits you.
How a Short Drive Helps Cookstown Smiles
The biggest advantage of living in Cookstown is time. With the office about 2 miles away, a lost filling, a cracked tooth or a nagging ache does not have to wait for a free afternoon, and a missed cleaning is easy to put back on the calendar. Small problems caught early usually lead to simpler repairs, which is why we encourage keeping regular six-month visits.
New patients start with the DAG Comprehensive Exam, which covers digital x-rays, a gum exam, intraoral photos, an oral cancer screening and a cavity check under 2.5–6.0x magnification. The exam also reviews existing fillings, crowns and implants, and it includes an insurance breakdown so you know where you stand before treatment begins. Most patients repeat this full exam every three to five years, with routine checkups in between.
Local children attend the New Hanover Township School through eighth grade and then Bordentown Regional High School, and Nash Park, the township's 20-acre recreation area on Hockamick Road, has ballfields and courts close to home. Fluoride varnish after a cleaning and sealants on back teeth are simple ways to protect young enamel, and both are part of our prevention care. Parents can book their own checkups on the same trip.
Living this close also helps when something goes wrong between checkups. A new patient with a toothache, a broken tooth or a long-overdue checkup can start with the $69 Exam Special for new patients, which includes a full oral health exam, all standard x-rays and treatment recommendations. From there, our dentists explain what needs attention now and what can wait, so you can plan the rest around your budget.
Treatment From a Dentist Near Cookstown
Cavity & Disease Prevention
Routine checkups, cleanings, digital x-rays and oral cancer screening are the foundation of care for Cookstown patients. Children, teens and anyone with recent cavities may benefit from in-office fluoride varnish after a cleaning. Sealants add a protective layer to the chewing surfaces of back teeth.
Healthy Gums
Bleeding when you brush or floss is often the first sign of gum trouble. When a screening finds deeper pockets, scaling and root planing is usually done over two visits with local anesthesia. A re-evaluation follows about a month later through the DAG Periodontal Disease Program.
Cavity Repair
Tooth-colored composite fillings repair small cavities without a silver look. Larger damage may call for a digital ceramic crown made of zirconium or lithium disilicate. Crowns also protect a tooth after root canal therapy.
Endodontics
Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, pain when biting or a swollen spot on the gum can point to an infected nerve. Root canal therapy and endodontic retreatment are handled in-house by our endodontists. Cookstown patients keep their care under one roof instead of searching for a separate specialist.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening brightens teeth dulled by coffee, tea or the years. Take-home whitening is another option for lightening your smile on your own schedule. Our team can help you choose the approach that suits your teeth.
Not sure which of these you need? The patient education library covers brushing technique, flossing, bad breath and gum disease, and our hygienists are glad to walk through any of it during a cleaning. Many repairs and gum treatments start with small habits at home, and knowing what to watch for makes each visit shorter and easier.
Meet Your New Egypt Dental Team
Dr. Frances Lovric and Dr. Zehra Husain are the general dentists at our New Egypt office, and their full bios are on Meet the Doctors. Dr. Lovric lives in the New Egypt community and follows a simple rule: never treat a stranger, because every patient is like family. Dr. Husain completed her general practice residency at Rutgers University Hospital in Newark after graduating with honors from Boston University's dental school.
Insurance & Financing
We are in network with many PPO plans, such as Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, Aetna and Horizon BCBS, and we do not take HMO, DMO, Medicaid or Medicare plans. Cash, checks and most major credit cards are accepted, and CareCredit and Sunbit can spread a larger treatment plan over time. Every cost is discussed before treatment, so there are no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Dental Arts Group from Cookstown, and how do I get there?
Dental Arts Group is about 2.2 miles from the New Hanover Township Municipal Building, roughly a 4-minute drive. Follow Main Street and Cookstown-New Egypt Road, both County Route 616, onto Maple Avenue in New Egypt, then turn left onto Jacobstown Road. That makes us a dentist near Cookstown you can reach without touching a highway.
Can I get my teeth cleaned before work during the week?
Yes. Thursday appointments start at 8:00 AM and Tuesday opens at 8:30 AM. On every other Friday the office also opens at 8:00 AM and closes at 1:00 PM. Because the drive from Cookstown takes only a few minutes, an early cleaning leaves most of the morning free for work or the school run.
Do bleeding gums mean I need a deep cleaning?
Not always, but bleeding is a common early sign of gum disease, and a periodontal exam measures whether pockets have formed below the gumline. If they have, scaling and root planing cleans those pockets, typically over two visits with local anesthesia. A re-evaluation about one month later shows how your gums have responded and what maintenance comes next.
Who performs root canals at your office?
Our in-house endodontists, Dr. Chiara Quick and Dr. Mohab Tanious, handle root canal treatment. Dr. Quick is a board-certified endodontist who completed her endodontic residency at Temple University. Seeing a specialist inside the same practice keeps your x-rays and records together and saves you a separate trip to an unfamiliar office.
Can I save on dental care if I don't have insurance?
Yes, two options help. New patients without insurance can use the $99 Cleaning Special, which includes a cleaning, an exam and standard x-rays when no periodontal disease is present. DAG Prime Savings, our in-house membership plan, has no deductibles, copays or annual maximum and takes 20% off general treatment.
