Specialty: Pediatric Dentistry / Orthodontics
The board-certified pediatric dentists of Ocean Pediatric Dental Associates provide quality pediatric and orthodontic care for infants and children. They offer a variety of treatment modalities to optimize safety and improve the patient experience, including in-office sedation and hospital dentistry as needed.
Fun and Exciting Dental Visits
“Dental visits for children can often be stressful. We pride ourselves on making dental visits exciting and fun to lower dental anxiety and fear—it’s the most rewarding part of what we do,” says Dr. Elisa Velazquez, immediate past president of the New Jersey Dental Association.
With offices in Cream Ridge, Manahawkin and Toms River, the dentists take a team approach and work together to improve the dental lives of their patients. The friendly, empathetic practitioners are highly skilled in all areas of pediatric dental and orthodontic care.
“We love being able to live, work and play in the community along with our patients and their families,” Dr. Matt Sones says.
High-Tech, Kid-Friendly Offices
The child-friendly practice exclusively uses digital radiography to reduce radiation exposure, as well as digital scanning and a soft tissue laser to perform frenectomies with little to no bleeding and shorter recovery times. The orthodontists offer traditional braces as well as Invisalign. “Our offices are very kid-friendly, which you’ll notice as soon as you walk through the door,” Dr. Velazquez says.
The dentists constantly pursue continuing education to broaden their knowledge of child development and enhance their skills in all of the latest pediatric dental, orthodontic and sedation techniques. “Kids are so much fun! We love having the opportunity to help improve the dental health of a child… which can lead to a great, healthy smile into adulthood,” Dr. Sones says.
