Convenient Access from Allentown
Upper Freehold's farm roads lead from Main Street almost straight to our office. Dental Arts Group sits about 18 minutes south of the borough's downtown in the village of New Egypt, and families weighing options for a dentist in Allentown, NJ will find checkups, school-year care, root canals and oral surgery services at one address.
From Borough Hall at 8 North Main Street, follow North Main Street a short way and turn left on High Street (County Route 539). High Street becomes Allentown-Davis Station Road; stay on it south for about 2.5 miles, then bear right onto Holmes Mill Road for roughly 4.5 miles of open farmland. Holmes Mill Road leads to Evergreen Road, and a right on Main Street (County Route 528) in New Egypt connects you to Jacobstown Road.
The office is at 4 Jacobstown Rd, New Egypt, NJ 08533, and you can save it from Google Maps. The 9.3-mile country drive takes about 18 minutes and uses no highway or toll road. Nearby Cream Ridge and Robbinsville each have a page of their own.
Historic Main Street, Modern Checkups for Allentown Families
The borough is a compact Monmouth County borough with a downtown full of history. It was incorporated in 1889, and the Allentown Historic District joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 with 219 structures, including the Georgian John Imlay House from about 1790. The old mill still stands in the town center.
Everyday errands revolve around Main Street, the public library at 16 South Main Street and Heritage Park near the shops. The Borough of Allentown describes itself as a designated village center, and Upper Freehold Township farmland wraps around it. Robbinsville Township also shares a border with the borough.
County Routes 524, 526 and 539 meet downtown, and Interstate 195 runs nearby toward Trenton and Princeton. For a dental visit, though, the quickest way is south through the fields rather than onto the interstate.
Our hours give local households a few early starts. Thursday opens at 8:00 AM, Tuesday at 8:30 AM, and Monday and Wednesday at 9:00 AM. Wednesday is the longest day, running until 6:00 PM. Every other Friday the office opens from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and weekends are closed.
Family schedules in a small town fill up fast with school events, practices and work. A few practical habits help: book the next cleaning before leaving the office, keep a spare toothbrush in a sports bag, and replace toothbrushes every few months or after an illness.
School-Age Smiles in Allentown and Upper Freehold
Local children move through the Upper Freehold Regional School District, from Newell Elementary to Stone Bridge Middle School and on to Allentown High School. Each stage brings its own dental needs. Young kids benefit from sealants and cavity checks, middle schoolers may start asking about straighter teeth, and high schoolers reach the age when wisdom teeth deserve a look.
Our dentists handle that whole span. Baby teeth with deep decay can sometimes be saved with a pulpotomy, and teens with crowded or impacted wisdom teeth can have them evaluated and removed through our oral surgery services. Sedation is available during oral surgery, so plan for a driver home on those days.
Habits built at home count just as much as visits. The patient education topics on brushing technique, flossing and bad breath make an easy refresher to share with kids of any age.
Sports are part of school life for many students, and a chipped or knocked-out tooth can happen on any field. If a permanent tooth is knocked out, rinse it gently, keep it moist in milk and call the office right away, because time matters. A chipped front tooth can often be rebuilt with tooth-colored composite.
Snacks and sports drinks between classes add another risk. Sipping sugary or acidic drinks over a long stretch bathes the teeth in acid, so water between meals is an easier habit to build.
If a toothache hits during the school week, the $69 Exam & X-Ray special for new patients covers a full oral health exam, all standard x-rays and treatment recommendations. It gives parents a clear plan before any treatment begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Dental Arts Group from Allentown, and how do I get there?
Dental Arts Group is about 9.3 miles from Borough Hall, roughly an 18-minute drive. Take High Street and Allentown-Davis Station Road (County Route 539) south, then Holmes Mill Road and Evergreen Road to Main Street in New Egypt. Families looking for a dentist in Allentown, NJ can make the whole trip on back roads with no tolls.
What are dental sealants, and does my child need them?
Sealants are thin protective coatings painted onto the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where deep grooves trap food and bacteria. They are part of our cavity prevention care. Whether your child needs them depends on their teeth and cavity history, which our dentists check at the exam. Many children get them as their permanent molars come in.
Do you remove wisdom teeth in the office?
Yes. Our oral surgery services include removing impacted and wisdom teeth, along with other extractions and bone grafting. The consultation may include x-rays or CT scans to plan the procedure. Dental sedation is available during oral surgery, so bring a driver who can take you home afterward.
What is included in the $69 exam special?
The $69 Exam & X-Ray special is for new patients only. It covers a full oral health exam, all standard x-rays and treatment recommendations from our dentists. It suits a sudden dental problem or a checkup that is long overdue, and you leave with a clear plan before any treatment begins.
Can my teenager get Invisalign?
Often, yes. Invisalign works best for older teens and adults, and the free consultation shows whether your teen is a good fit. Aligners are worn at least 22 hours a day and switched about every two weeks, so they suit students who will keep them in. Treatment time varies by case.
