Convenient Access from Pine Hill
Parents juggling school pickups and practice schedules need a dentist Pine Hill, NJ families can reach quickly, and Dental Arts Group sits about 6 minutes north in Clementon. One office handles children's checkups, teen orthodontic questions and adult restorative work. That means a single phone call can line up the whole household.
Begin at Borough Hall on West 7th Avenue and turn onto Erial Road (CR 703) heading north. Erial Road turns into Gibbsboro Road as it enters Clementon and runs straight to Ohio Avenue, where you will find 250 Gibbsboro Rd, Clementon, NJ 08021. The whole route covers about 2 miles and never touches the White Horse Pike. See the office on Google Maps before your first visit.
Veterans Memorial Park sits on Erial Road at Branch Avenue, and Overbrook High School and the Charlie Bowen Recreation Complex are familiar stops for most local parents. Families in Gloucester Township and Laurel Springs visit us from the other side of the borough.
A Family Practice That Fits Pine Hill's School-Year Rhythm
The local school district runs four buildings: Dr. Albert Bean Elementary, John H. Glenn Elementary, Pine Hill Middle School and Overbrook High School. Overbrook also takes in teenagers from Clementon and Berlin Township, so plenty of families already split their week between the two boroughs. Booking a cleaning near the high school's neighborhood adds very little driving.
Siblings can usually be seen back to back, and parents can schedule their own cleaning in the same block. Our general dentists treat every age, from a first visit through adult crowns and gum care. Fewer separate offices means fewer missed classes and fewer evenings lost to driving.
Dr. Evan Ridge makes educational visits to local elementary schools to teach dental hygiene, so the chair is not a strange place for many kids. A friendly, unhurried first visit sets the tone for years of easy checkups. The borough's own history page explains how this Camden County community grew from the old Clementon Township.
Keeping Pine Hill Kids and Teens on Track Between Checkups
Children's molars arrive in stages, and each new tooth brings deep grooves where food and plaque settle. Sealants, ideally placed starting around age six, cover those grooves before decay begins. Routine cleanings and digital x-rays then show whether anything is developing between the teeth.
Busy weekends at the Charlie Bowen Recreation Complex and the borough's ball fields mean plenty of snacks and sports drinks. Sugary sips between games feed the bacteria that cause cavities, so brushing after the last game of the day makes a difference. Our hygienists also review brushing technique and flossing with kids during cleanings.
The teen years bring their own list: crowded teeth, wisdom teeth and the first adult-style cleanings. Digital x-rays at routine checkups track how wisdom teeth are coming in, and Invisalign clear aligners can address mild to moderate crowding. Our team keeps each step in one office, so Overbrook students rarely need a long trip.
Parents tend to put their own care last during the school year. A cleaning booked right after a child's appointment, a gum check during a periodontal screening or a quick look at a chipped filling can all happen in the same visit window. Our DAG Comprehensive Exam gives adults a full baseline, including an oral cancer screening and a screening for sleep-disordered breathing.
Family Treatments from a Dentist Pine Hill, NJ Parents Can Count On
Cavity & Disease Prevention
Checkups, cleanings, digital x-rays and sealants form the core of every child's care. Oral cancer screening is part of the service too. Regular visits catch small issues while a simple fix still works.
Endodontics
Pulpotomy and pulpectomy treat deep decay in children's primary teeth, helping hold space for the permanent tooth below. Adults have access to root canal therapy and retreatment. Our endodontist, Dr. Richard Le, works with the team on these cases.
Invisalign®
Clear SmartTrack aligners straighten mild to moderate crowding for teens and parents alike. Digital 3D scans replace gooey impression trays. Aligners are worn about 22 hours a day, with check-ins every 6 to 8 weeks.
Oral Surgery
Impacted and wisdom teeth, extractions and bone grafting are handled in our office. Sedation is available during oral surgery. A consult with x-rays or CT scans, as necessary, comes first.
Cavity Repair
Tooth-colored composite fillings repair cavities without a silver look. Digital ceramic crowns in zirconia or lithium disilicate rebuild teeth with larger breaks. Parents can have older silver fillings replaced in the same office.
When a child or parent cracks a tooth, the $69 Exam & X-Ray special for new patients is a practical first step. It includes a full oral health exam, all standard x-rays and treatment recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Dental Arts Group from Pine Hill, and how do I get there?
Our office is about 2 miles from the borough hall on West 7th Avenue, close to a 6-minute drive. West 7th Avenue leads to Erial Road, which runs north and becomes Gibbsboro Road in Clementon. Families who want a dentist Pine Hill, NJ parents can reach without the White Horse Pike will find this one of the simplest trips in the area.
Can sports drinks harm Pine Hill teens' teeth?
Yes, frequent sips of sports drinks bathe teeth in sugar and acid, which can soften enamel and lead to cavities. Plain water is the better choice for most practices; save sports drinks for long, intense sessions and rinse afterward. Regular checkups catch early weak spots, and sealants can protect the chewing surfaces of back teeth.
What should Pine Hill parents do if a child knocks out a baby tooth?
Do not put a knocked-out baby tooth back in the socket, because that can damage the adult tooth developing underneath. Press clean gauze on the area to stop bleeding, keep the tooth and call the office so the dentist can check your child. Digital x-rays show whether nearby teeth or the adult tooth underneath were affected.
Can a deep cavity in a Pine Hill child's baby tooth be treated?
Often it can. Our endodontics service includes pulpotomy and pulpectomy, two treatments for children's primary teeth when decay reaches the nerve. Keeping a baby tooth in place helps hold space for the permanent tooth growing beneath it. An exam with digital x-rays shows which approach fits your child's tooth.
What happens during the first exam for a new Pine Hill patient?
New patients receive the DAG Comprehensive Exam. It includes a health history review, digital x-rays, a gum exam, intraoral photos, an oral cancer screening and a cavity check under 2.5–6.0x magnification. It also covers a sleep-disordered breathing screening and an insurance breakdown, so you leave knowing what you need and what your plan may cover.
