We're opening in December 2025 to serve the Somerset community. While we're a new practice, Dr. Wong brings years of experience from his previous practice in upstate New York, ICOI Fellowship training in implant dentistry, and recent advanced certifications in AI diagnostics and 3D printing technology. We're excited to bring fresh perspectives and cutting-edge technology to Somerset dental care.
As a private practice, Dr. Wong can focus on building genuine relationships with patients rather than meeting corporate quotas. We combine advanced technology like AI diagnostics and 3D printing with personalized attention and honest treatment recommendations. You'll see the same dentist who gets to know your dental history, concerns, and goals over time.
Yes! As a new practice, we're actively welcoming new patients to join our Cedar Smiles Dental family. We're particularly excited to serve Somerset families who are looking for personalized, technology-enhanced dental care. New patients receive comprehensive exams, AI-enhanced diagnostics, and thorough consultations to establish a strong foundation for long-term oral health.
We're located at 120 Cedar Grove Lane, Somerset, NJ 08873, with convenient access and free parking. Our planned hours are Monday through Thursday 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with Saturday appointments available by request. We'll also accommodate emergency situations outside regular hours when needed.
Dr. Wong earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) from Syracuse University and is an ICOI Fellow with advanced training in implant dentistry, including international coursework. He has over three years of private practice experience and recently completed advanced training in AI diagnostics and 3D printing technology. He's committed to continuing education to provide the most current dental care available.
Yes, Dr. Wong personally handles all patient care, ensuring continuity and consistency in your treatment. As a private practice, we don't rotate through multiple dentists like some corporate offices. Dr. Wong will get to know your dental history, preferences, and goals, allowing him to provide truly personalized care that builds on previous visits.
We're building our team with carefully selected professionals who share Dr. Wong's commitment to exceptional patient care and advanced technology. Our team members will be chosen not only for their clinical skills but also for their dedication to creating the welcoming, patient-centered environment that defines our practice philosophy.
We provide comprehensive dental care including preventive services, general dentistry, cosmetic treatments, dental implants, and emergency care. Dr. Wong's ICOI Fellowship training makes him particularly skilled in implant dentistry, while his 3D printing expertise allows for advanced cosmetic and restorative treatments with preview capabilities.
Our AI diagnostic technology analyzes your digital X-rays and highlights areas of concern with clear, visual indicators. Instead of trying to see shadows or subtle changes on traditional X-rays, you'll see exactly where cavities are forming and how significant they are. This makes it much easier to understand your dental health and make informed treatment decisions.
Our 3D printing technology creates accurate mock-ups of cosmetic treatments, allowing you to see and feel how your smile will look before any permanent work is done. For procedures like veneers or smile makeovers, you can actually wear temporary versions to preview your results. This eliminates uncertainty and ensures you're completely satisfied with your treatment plan.
Yes, our advanced technology capabilities allow us to provide same-day crown solutions in many cases. Using digital impressions and in-office fabrication, we can often complete crown treatments in a single visit, eliminating the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments. We'll discuss whether same-day treatment is appropriate for your specific situation.
Yes, we accept most PPO dental insurance plans and work with both in-network and out-of-network benefits. Our team will verify your coverage before treatment and help you understand your benefits. We handle all insurance paperwork and claims submission, so you can focus on your dental health without insurance complications.
We offer several solutions for patients without insurance, including in-house membership plans that provide preventive care and treatment discounts for an affordable monthly fee. We also offer financing through CareCredit and Cherry, allowing you to spread treatment costs over manageable monthly payments with promotional terms available.
Yes, we partner with CareCredit and Cherry to provide flexible financing options with promotional periods and extended payment plans. These healthcare financing companies offer quick approval processes and budget-friendly monthly payments. We also accept HSA and FSA accounts, major credit cards, and can arrange custom payment plans for larger treatments.
You can schedule appointments by calling our office or using our online booking system once we open in December 2025. For now, you can contact us to be placed on our opening schedule. New patients should allow extra time for comprehensive exams and consultations, while follow-up appointments can typically be scheduled within our regular time slots.
We recommend booking routine appointments 4-6 weeks in advance, especially for preferred morning or late afternoon time slots. However, as a new practice, we have flexibility in our schedule and can often accommodate requests with shorter notice. Emergency appointments are always prioritized and scheduled the same day when possible.
Please bring photo identification, your dental insurance cards, a list of current medications, and any previous dental records if available. If you're anxious about dental visits, let us know in advance so we can take extra time to ensure your comfort. We'll handle insurance verification and provide clear explanations of any recommended treatments
Yes, Dr. Wong prioritizes emergency dental care and understands that dental pain and urgent problems can't wait for convenient appointment times. We make every effort to see emergency patients the same day. Common emergencies we treat include severe tooth pain, cracked teeth, dental infections, and lost fillings or crowns.
Dental emergencies include severe tooth pain, cracked or broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, loose fillings or crowns, dental abscesses or infections, and significant facial swelling. If you're experiencing persistent pain, bleeding, or trauma to your mouth, it's considered an emergency. When in doubt, call us – we'd rather evaluate your situation than have you suffer.
We prioritize emergency patients and make every effort to provide same-day care for urgent dental problems.
