Services
Dentures
Full or partial dentures restore missing teeth, improving function and appearance. Custom-fitted prosthetics mimic natural teeth, supported by suction or implants. Our process includes precise impressions and adjustments for comfort. Patients benefit from improved chewing, speech, and facial structure support, with options like implant-supported overdentures for enhanced stability.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
This comprehensive approach addresses multiple dental issues through procedures like implants, crowns, and veneers. Tailored treatment plans combine restorative and cosmetic techniques to rebuild damaged smiles. Our dentists prioritize minimally invasive methods, preserving natural teeth while enhancing aesthetics and functionality for long-term oral health.
Root Canals
Root canal treatment removes infected pulp to save damaged teeth. Modern techniques ensure minimal discomfort, with success rates over 90%. Post-treatment crowns restore strength, preventing extraction. This procedure alleviates pain, preserves natural dentition, and prevents systemic health complications from untreated infections.
Teeth Cleaning
Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, preventing gum disease and decay. Regular six-month visits enable early detection of oral health issues. Combined with patient education on hygiene practices, this service maintains dental health and reduces risks of systemic conditions linked to poor oral care.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers cover imperfections like stains, chips, or gaps, creating a natural, durable smile. Minimal enamel removal preserves tooth structure. These thin shells resist staining and mimic natural tooth translucency, offering long-lasting aesthetic improvements for patients seeking confidence-boosting smile transformations.

I can honestly say that this practice has very professional patient and understanding staff. From the moment I walked in the front door until my treatment was finished, I was feeling the amazing experience. Then. this Thai guy gonna give five star ***** review especially for you guys.

They lied to me about having cavities and fixed imaginary cavities. I found this out after going somewhere else to get the " rest " of the cavities fixed as this place charged too much. Two other dentists saw the original X-rays and told me I originally had no cavities to begin with

All my life I have hopped around dentists who have charged a bit cheaper but were very greedy! Id get recommendations from people I knew, but all of them were the same. Dentists always told me I needed way more work done than I actually did, would do a poor job, and have staff that was unwelcoming. I finally did my research and found Dr. T about two years ago and every time I come in, I always leave feeling happier and better!
I truly LOVE Dr. T and his staff! Each and every one of them are genuinely the kindest and most sincere people and make me feel like part of their family every time I come in. They are gentle as well when dealing with your teeth (ex: not ripping your gums to pieces when doing teeth cleanings!) and I can always trust Dr. T to be honest and let me know exactly what I need to get done, nothing more.
I saw other reviews saying it was pricey, but honestly I would much rather go here and pay a bit extra to have trustworthy, kind, and genuine dentists/ staff who care about me and do good work than the other ones I have gone to.

Dr. T is the best! The best part about going here is that not only is the dentist amazing, but all of his staff members are topnotch and really friendly. I have been going to this dentist for over 10 years because I can't trust another dental group like I do this one. Even after I moved to Pennsylvania, I still make the trip to come here. If you want quality care, caring staff members, and affordable prices, come here! Dr. T is constantly refining his skill by looking into obtaining new equipment/talking about the latest research.
I trust him with anything I need done from check-ups, whitening, fillings, emergency visits, referrals, night guard, etc. He not only took care of me for the past decade, but also helped whiten and refine my smile for my wedding day! 10/10 recommend!

I've been coming here for years with my family for all our dental check up, cleaning and other things. I've had Carol as my hygienists for many years and she always does an excellent job. My teeth feel very clean and fresh after cleaning. Dr. T as he is fondly called, has been our dentists for years and he's become a friend who took care of my family's dental needs with work that is outstanding. Everybody in the office is very friendly and accommodating particularly Jill who always help us sort out our insurance payments. I highly recommend Dentistry at South Brunswick.
