Choosing a new dentist after leaving your old one is difficult, especially if you had been a patient of the previous one for many years. Before I finally settled on Dr. Shah’s practice, I had visited around to different dentists in East Orange, and none of them were right for me. I am pleased I finally chose to go with Academy Dental East Orange. They are truly nice and care immensely about your comfort and schedules. Dr. Shah also takes her time to explain all that she is doing, as she does it, which really helps put your mind at ease. I am exceedingly delighted at my choice and recommend this practice to everyone!

My visit to Academy Dental East Orange here in East Orange NJ completely changed how I used to view dentists. When I went in with terrible tooth pain and needed help, these folks stepped up. Customer Service, personable, caring. These guys truly are the package deal. Dr. Shah is amazing, and makes sure I never feel a thing except relaxed! They were very straightforward about costs and worked with my budget. I will be returning soon, and I can’t wait! Thank you again Academy Dental East Orange!

Academy Dental East Orange has been my family’s dental for many years. They are our go to problem solver when it comes to our dental needs. Everything all the way up to crowns and extractions, Dr. Shah has us covered. She and her staff describe everything that is going on and that in turn helps you feel more relaxed, being kept in the loop. They are all very calm and proficient in emergency work too. My dentist for as long as I live here in East Orange.

I have severe TMJ and was having a difficult time finding any dentist that would be willing to see me in East Orange, but then I found Doctor Shah and the folks at Academy Dental East Orange. And they are lifesavers. I was able to come in that same day I first called, and she took her time and explained everything that was happening as it took place. I felt no pain the entire time! Thanks so much Dr. Shah!

I wish I had known about Academy Dental East Orange years ago! I found Doctor Shah and this practice through Doctors Network. All the reviews couldn’t be wrong, right? Right! They weren’t and this place is amazing! As soon as I walked in I knew I had found the place for me. They offer plenty of amenities, great customer service, and a clean and techy facility. Their smiles and warm demeanor tells you all you need to know, that they are there to make you as happy as can be. I have learned a lot from my visits, and how dentistry is supposed to be. I highly recommend this place to everyone around East Orange!

I have been taking my family to visit the best dentist in East Orange for a while now. At Academy Dental East Orange, you will find that they truly care for you and that their customer service is unparalleled! The staff is amazing and so is Doctor Shah. While we look forward to visiting here, we can’t say the same about other doctors. Which is why I am recommending this place! Thanks for taking care of all of us Dr. Shah!

I am not your typical reviewer, but the multiple times I have been to Academy Dental East Orange has convinced me they deserve one. The staff and Dr. Shah are awesome! Very kind and outgoing, they even work hard to remember your name which makes for a nice touch. I for sure will be making the trip to East Orange to have Dr. Shah do my braces. Also, love that they take the time to explain everything to you! Honesty is the best policy.

The office of Academy Dental is truly the best in all of East Orange! As soon as you pass through the doors, you feel the warmth of the staff and the intelligence of Dr. Shah. Even tho I needed a lot done because of some bad dental habits, they did not judge me at all. They are all friendly and kind. Dr. Shah lets you know everything she is doing while she does it, and is very professional and adept. They deliver on all your expectations for sure. Love this place!

I was a patient of Dr. Shah’s for a few years and she never ceased to amaze me. She and her staff at Academy Dental were always the friendliest and most caring ever. Just like the other reviews say, she is truly the best at what she does! Everyone treated me kindly and took their time explaining all the details. Definitely the best dentist in East Orange!

I have been a patient at Academy Dental since ‘16. Dr. Shah has proven herself over and over to me as being the best dentist in East Orange, if not the whole state! She is amazing at what she does, truly a top notch dentist. When I first came I had severe dental problems, and it was a lot of work but she stuck with me and now I am better! She went above and beyond to make sure I was well taken care of. The staff here is personable and welcoming, and the office is crazy cool and well kept. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Shah and Academy Dental.

I wanted to give a quick shout out to my amazing dentist Dr. Shah! I have been coming to her dentistry for quite a while now and I never leave disappointed. She keeps great track of my health and is very encouraging when I keep up with my dental regimen at home. She is also very sweet and intelligent and took the time to answer every single question. I recommend Academy Dental to everyone in East Orange.

Making an appointment here is stress-free and pleasant as the staff is amazing at customer service and will work to make your life easier when it comes to scheduling. I love that. A lot. Makes my life less hectic. Dr. Shah is very patient and cares about her work, and that shows. The staff and she get along so well. Thank you so much for my beautiful smile!

Academy Dental was recommended to me and my wife by one of my friends, and my wife was the first to go. She loved it, and told me how great it was so when I went in I knew it was going to be good. After I lost my last dentist (he moved), I had been dragging my feet to find someone new. My experience at the hands of Dr. Shah was the best of my life! Friendly, welcoming, considerate, knowledgeable, those are just a few of the words I would think are a perfect fit for this gal. So happy I found this gal in East Orange.

I recommend Academy Dental to everyone in East Orange. I had been so afraid to go to the dentist but when I went to Doctor Shah all those fears melted away. Staff was personable and sweet, and the office was a very relaxing and calm environment. I never feel any pain. And they do so well making sure I stay pain-free. I have some major work coming up, and I am not at all worried that Doctor Shah will take care of me.

I never ever thought I would enjoy trips to the dentist, but I was so wrong! The staff and Dr. Shah are AWESOME! Originally I hail from Texas, but once I moved up here to East Orange, I started looking online and came across Academy Dental. When my wedding was fast approaching, I wanted to get my teeth absolutely perfect. I came here and they fixed me up perfect!!! The end product is perfect, I can’t stop grinning! I recommend them to EVERYONE! Thanks Dr. Shah and staff!

Dr. Shah in East Orange is such a wonderful, friendly dentist. No judgment all when answering all your questions, and the staff is AMAZING at customer service, making you feel relaxed and at home. All the latest up to date tech they have means you feel NO pain! My implant she put in years ago is still solid and no issues! Very happy with my experience! Thank you Academy Dental.

Dr. Shah is the best dentist in East Orange. When I had some dental work that was long overdue, I came to Academy Dental. So happy I did! She is so good at what she does, and she is personable and a great conversationalist. She and her staff made sure I felt at ease in the chair, and even tho I may have been a little difficult, they didn’t seem to mind at all. Everyone was very outgoing and had a warm demeanor, and they truly love their jobs! I recommend Dr. Shah to all my family and friends and coworkers! To everyone!

I knew I needed a dentist in East Orange. I hadn’t been in a few years and was getting desperate. So lucky to have found Academy Dental! My past few visits have proven that Dr. Shah is the best! I was so delighted at the outcomes of my visits, I talked my wife into going! Although she needed a few more hands-on procedures done than I did, she still came out happy and in love with this place too! Staff is so warm and very kind. Thanks to them I no longer have a fear of the dentist!

I used to be horrified of dentists. My entire life! But after years of dragging my feet, I decided it was time I got a dentist. The fact I was in immense pain may also have been a factor! I did my research and finally decided on Academy Dental in East Orange. Dr. Shah is far better than any dentist. She worked hard to make sure I was happy and at ease, and she also took the time to get to know me, as did the rest of her staff. The office is well maintained and clean, and the staff’s welcoming demeanor makes the whole place seem more like a spa than a dentist. I know good customer service due to the previous places I have worked, and this place is far above anything in the East Orange area! Thanks so much Dr. Shah! The crowns and root canals you have done for me were superb!

I went to Dr. Shah for a routine cleaning and exam, and it turned out I needed a couple of cavities filled. I recently moved here to East Orange so I could no longer go to see my old dentist. Dr. Shah and her staff are just incredible! I was pain-free the whole time. Everyone was gentle with me and polite and answered every question I had. Dr. Shah made sure I was comfortable the whole time I had my cavities filled, and now my mouth feels perfect! I strongly recommend Academy Dental to everyone out there looking around for a new dentist.

I just recently moved here to East Orange, and of course, we needed to find a dentist. Other dental places I had been too had been telling me I needed unbelievably expensive replacements, but Dr. Shah was able to pinpoint that I only actually needed a minor adjustment done. She saved me so much money! I highly recommend Academy Dental! The nicest staff are here and they truly are 5-star service providers! I owe you guys so much!

Completely stunning! When I first arrived in East Orange, I tried a few different places and I never could find the perfect fit. A year ago I found Academy Dental and I can’t believe I ever went anywhere else! All the staff and Dr. Shah are just amazing! Very friendly, work hard to make you feel comfortable and scheduling is easy. The office is gorgeous! Did I mention the scheduling is easy? Well, it is! And they work so well with you! Simply the best dentist in East Orange! I refer all my friends to Dr. Shah!

I’ve been to Academy Dental in East Orange twice now for check-ups and cleanings. The office staff is caring and easy to talk to. My wait time wasn’t long at all, no more than 5 minutes. The hygienist did the cleaning.scaling and Dr. Shah just doing an overall checkup. They are nice, professional, and gentle. I would recommend this place to anyone. The office is very big and always clean. You’re not just another patient to the staff there.

I just had to get on here and tell everyone about the awesome service I just received! I usually don’t do online reviews but Dr. Shah and her staff are awesome! They’re very friendly and caring, and make your comfort their top priority. If you want a dental office in East Orange who will know you by name and treat you like family you should go see her and her staff.

"I’ve been a patient here for a while, where I’ve gotten cleanings and they also gave me a mouth guard because I grind my teeth at night. The staff is wonderful, they’re always smiling and super nice. They make going to the dentist easy, I’m always comfortable here and never nervous. My dental hygienist is the best! My comfort is her first priority. I always leave the office with my teeth feeling super clean. They do offer a dental plan option for self-pay patients in East Orange, NJ. This is awesome because you can look and see how much everything will cost without guessing. Make sure to get there in plenty of time so you can find a parking spot. I love this place, and am so happy I found my primary care dentist!

Family Dental Care for the Whole Family in East Orange, NJ
General dental care is as important to your smile as brushing and flossing your teeth. For instance, preventive appointments are necessary to evade oral health issues such as tooth decay and periodontitis. At our East Orange, NJ dental office, Dr. Shah and our team offer an array of general dental procedures to help your family enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles.
The Importance of General Dentistry
In both your oral and overall health, prevention is vital. Therefore, the primary focus of general dentistry is preventing issues from developing in the first place. Besides keeping your teeth clean with good hygiene, professional dental cleanings and check-ups help stop the development of bacteria-rich plaque. Other treatments, such as teeth-whitening, fillings, crowns, and more, can also help you manage existing issues before they grow worse.
Excellent Dental Health in the Long Run
At your general dentistry appointment, your dentist will carefully examine your teeth and gums for signs of trouble. Then he or she will recommend an appropriate course of treatment to stop the problem from worsening. However, caring for your smile will still rely on ongoing general dental care.
Speak with Your East Orange Dentist Today!
With a strong focus on prevention, preventative dentistry is essential to keeping your smile healthy and beautiful. To schedule a consultation, call Dr. Shah's dental office in East Orange, NJ today at (973) 968-6700.
