Why choose us
A comfortable, spa-like setting, honest up-front costs, and a practice that can handle nearly every part of your care in one place.
Up to three in four Americans feel some fear of the dentist.
Tell us what worries you and we will talk you through every step before it happens. Bring headphones and music, raise your left hand whenever you want a break, and ask about nitrous oxide, which works within minutes and leaves no hangover.
Being told a tooth needs work, and having to take it on faith.
Digital x-rays, a 3D cone beam scanner and an intraoral camera put clear, enlarged images on the screen in front of you, so your diagnosis is shown rather than described. Costs are explained up front, before treatment.
Fitting the dentist around school and work.
Evening hours until 7 pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, a family-friendly reception, and a well-equipped game room kids love. Ample free parking on site, and an elevator to the top floor.

Meet our doctors

Dentistry in Summit, NJ
Preventive, restorative, cosmetic, implant and root canal care for adults and children, so you are always surrounded by people you trust.
Exams every six months, cleanings twice a year, or every three to four months where there is gum disease, and children seen from a first visit between their first and third birthdays.
Most dentistry looks like dentistry. The goal here is dentistry that is undetectable: crowns, bridges and fillings that match the teeth around them, and dentures when they are the right answer.
Dr. Schwartz has a special interest in cosmetic dentistry, and Dr. Zoller has long experience restoring crowns and veneers. A subtle change is often all a smile needs.
Missing teeth replaced with implant-supported teeth, planned on the office's own 3D cone beam scan, and root canal treatment that keeps a tooth rather than losing it.
Custom whitening trays, ready to pick up in a day or two, with a whitening agent to use at home. Whiten just the top teeth, or the top and bottom if both show when you smile.
Very thin shells of porcelain bonded to the front of the teeth. They hide discolouration, chips, cracks and teeth worn from years of use, and protect them from further chipping.
At least two visits: the tooth is shaped and fitted with a temporary crown, then the final crown is fitted, adjusted and cemented in place.
A resin coloured to match your teeth, sculpted and polished over a chip, crack or stain. Often finished in a single visit.
Dental technology
Drs. Schwartz and Zoller choose carefully when radiographs are taken and which kind, to published guidelines. The equipment is here to see more precisely and to explain more clearly.

Common questions
We are in-network with a variety of insurance plans, and as a courtesy we bill your insurance company and track the claim for you. Most insurers respond within four to six weeks. Call or text 908-499-8707 and we will check your plan. No insurance? Ask about our in-house membership plan.
Tell us what you are afraid of; often the right information is enough to ease it. We explain what we are doing before, during and after treatment, you are welcome to bring headphones and music, and you can signal for a break with your left hand at any point. Nitrous oxide is available too.
Between the first and third birthday. The first visit is short and involves very little treatment: we may ask you to hold your child in the chair while we gently examine their teeth and gums, and we will go through how to care for their teeth at home.
Call or text the office. If you have pain or an emergency, every attempt will be made to see you that day.
An examination and a review of your treatment options. Treatment can usually be done or started the same day. Please bring any x-rays from a previous dentist, a list of the medications you take, and your completed insurance forms. Patients under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
The whole team follows the procedures of OSHA, the EPA and the CDC: gloves and masks, disinfection of every surface, disposable materials, and sterilisation of all reusable equipment, including handpieces, in a steam autoclave before every use.
Twice a year as a preventive measure, and every three to four months if you have periodontitis. Between visits, a soft brush held at a 45 degree angle to the gum line, with small gentle circles, does the most good.
779 Springfield Avenue, Summit, in our own free-standing building. There is ample free parking on site, and an elevator to the top floor for anyone with limited mobility.
