Convenient Access from Stratford
Dental Arts Group is roughly 5 minutes down the White Horse Pike from Stratford, in the Borough of Clementon. Whether you study on the Laurel Road medical campus, work hospital shifts or coach a weekend team, a dentist Stratford, NJ residents can reach this fast makes routine care easier to keep. Our doors open at 8 AM Tuesday through Thursday.
From the Stratford Public Library at 303 Union Avenue, take Union Avenue to Kirkwood Avenue and then Laurel Road (CR 673). The ramp puts you on the White Horse Pike (US 30) southbound, and you stay on it about 1.8 miles through Lindenwold into Clementon. Turn right on Gibbsboro Road (CR 686) and look for the office at Ohio Avenue, 250 Gibbsboro Rd, Clementon, NJ 08021, about 2.1 miles from where you started. Our Google Maps listing shows the exact pin.
Along Laurel Road you pass the Rowan-Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine campus, and Jefferson Stratford Hospital is also in town. Patients from Laurel Springs and Hi-Nella come to us from just around the corner.
Dental Care Built Around Busy Stratford Schedules
The borough mixes established neighborhoods, like the Laurel Mill Farms development beside the North Branch of Big Timber Creek, with a busy medical corridor on Laurel Road. Students, hospital staff and young families all share the same tight calendars. An early chair time often fits better than a lunch-hour dash.
Our hours run from 9 AM to 6 PM on Mondays, 8 AM to 5 PM on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and 8 AM to 4 PM on Thursdays. We also open one Friday a month from 8 AM to 1 PM. That spread lets a resident on an overnight rotation or an early shift find a slot without trading days off.
Long hours on your feet and late-night studying can also show up in your mouth. Clenching and grinding wear enamel and strain the jaw, while poor sleep sometimes points to sleep-disordered breathing. Both are areas where our team has specific training and tools.
What Stratford Residents Should Know About Sleep, Grinding and Wear
Gregory Strait, DMD, is a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine and treats sleep apnea and snoring with custom oral appliances. For mild and moderate sleep apnea, an oral appliance offers an alternative to CPAP. A sleep-disordered breathing screening is already part of the DAG Comprehensive Exam, so the conversation can start at your first visit.
Grinding damage tends to build slowly and quietly. Our 3D-printed night guards come from a three-minute digital scan rather than a messy tray impression. A guard protects existing crowns and fillings as well as natural enamel, which matters for anyone who has already invested in restorative work.
Families are part of the picture too. Parkview Elementary covers pre-K through third grade and Samuel S. Yellin School handles grades 4 through 8, so many local kids need sealants and six-month cleanings. Local baseball and softball leagues, Tarkill soccer and Sterling Youth football keep weekends full, and a chipped tooth from a game can be evaluated quickly here.
Services from a Dentist Stratford, NJ Families Can Fit Into Busy Weeks
Night Health
Custom night guards for bruxism and oral appliances for mild and moderate sleep apnea live under this service. Dr. Strait leads our sleep care. Hospital staff on rotating shifts and students pulling late nights can request a screening at any checkup.
The DAG Comprehensive Exam
This first visit covers digital x-rays, intraoral photography, a periodontal exam, oral cancer screening and an insurance breakdown. Needed prescriptions or referrals go out electronically. Most patients repeat it every 3 to 5 years.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Porcelain veneers, crowns, composite fillings and laser gum contouring reshape a smile in steps. Dr. Ridge received the Award of Merit from the Academy of Esthetic Dentistry for restorative and cosmetic work. Each plan is laid out and priced before it starts.
Teeth Whitening
In-office whitening takes a single visit, a helpful option before a white coat ceremony, interview or wedding. Take-home whitening lets you brighten gradually around your schedule.
Cavity & Disease Prevention
Checkups, cleanings, digital x-rays and sealants keep kids and adults ahead of decay. Sealants are ideally placed from age six, and oral cancer screening is part of every routine visit.
Many patients combine these services over time: a comprehensive exam first, a night guard or sleep appliance next, then whitening or veneers once the bite is protected. Planning in that order keeps cosmetic work from being undone by grinding. Every estimate is reviewed with you before treatment, with no surprises on the bill.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Dental Arts Group from Stratford, and how do I get there?
It is about 2.1 miles from the public library on Union Avenue, around a 5-minute drive. Take Union Avenue, Kirkwood Avenue and Laurel Road to the White Horse Pike, then ride US 30 south and turn right on Gibbsboro Road. Rush hour on the Pike can slow things, but a dentist Stratford, NJ patients reach this easily still beats a longer haul.
Can I book a cleaning early enough to get to work or class on time?
Yes, on most weekdays. The office opens at 8:00 AM on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, so a first-of-the-day cleaning leaves time to reach a mid-morning shift or lecture. Monday runs from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM for anyone who prefers an evening slot. Booking a week or two ahead gives you the widest choice of early times.
Can Stratford kids who swim a lot get stains on their teeth?
Yes, frequent swimmers sometimes develop yellow or brown stains, often called swimmer's calculus, from long hours in treated pool water. The stain sits on the surface and usually comes off with a professional cleaning. Let the hygienist know how often your child swims, and keep up with regular cleanings during swim season so buildup does not return quickly.
What should a Stratford parent do about a tooth chipped at a weekend game?
Book an exam as soon as you can and bring any broken piece along. New patients can use the $69 Exam & X-Ray special, which includes a full oral health exam, all standard x-rays and treatment recommendations. Small chips are often repaired with tooth-colored composite, while larger breaks may need a crown.
Does Dr. Strait treat snoring for Stratford adults?
Yes. Gregory Strait, DMD, is a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine and treats snoring and sleep apnea with custom oral appliances. For mild and moderate sleep apnea, those appliances are an alternative to CPAP. The office sits in Clementon, part of Camden County like your borough, a few minutes down the White Horse Pike.
