A female dentist for the whole family
When a Bayville household searches for a female dentist, it is often one person looking for a practice the whole family can use. This office is built for exactly that. Both dentists are women, and the same practice handles a child's first cleaning, a teenager's Invisalign, and a grandparent's implant-supported denture, often in the same week.
Berkeley Township does not have a deep bench of local dental options, so the short coastal run north fills a real gap for families who want full-service care, from two women dentists, without a long haul.
Care that grows with your family
Bayville households change over time, and the practice changes with them. A child who starts with first cleanings can move into Invisalign as a teenager. An adult overdue for care can rebuild step by step. A grandparent can move from a failing tooth to an implant-supported denture, all in one office with the same records and the same two dentists.
That continuity saves the repeated history-taking that comes with bouncing between practices, and it means the doctors know your family's patterns over years.
The range of care available
Under one roof, the practice covers general and family dentistry, cosmetic work, Invisalign, dental implants and tooth replacement, and same-day emergency care. For older patients, implant-supported dentures and restorative treatment restore function as well as appearance. The approach is minimally invasive throughout.
Whatever the need, the doctors explain what is urgent and what can wait so the family can weigh choices sensibly.
Meet the women caring for your family
“I believe dentistry should feel calm, clear, and deeply personal. For many people, even making the appointment is the hardest part.” Dr. Monica Patel, born and raised in New Jersey, earned her DMD from the University of Pennsylvania and is surgically trained in implant placement, which matters for older Bayville patients needing tooth replacement.
Dr. Rakhee Patel adds: “I love helping patients feel confident in their smiles, but just as importantly, I want them to feel comfortable in the process.” She earned her DMD from the Arizona School of Dentistry, where she was named Best Dental Student of the Year, and trained at Lutheran Medical Center. Both are certified Invisalign providers and members of the American and New Jersey Dental Associations.
Driving directions from Bayville
From Bayville, take Route 9 north through Berkeley Township toward Toms River. Stay on Route 9 as it runs up the coast, then turn toward Hooper Avenue and continue to Oak Avenue. The office is at 222 Oak Avenue, Suite 8, just off Hooper, with parking at the building.
The drive is about 12 minutes and roughly 7 miles, and Route 9 stays flat and direct the whole way, which is easier for older drivers who would rather avoid highway merging. On-site parking means no long walk from a distant lot.
Insurance, membership, and financing
Managing several people's care on one budget is easier with clear options. The practice accepts most major dental insurance plans. For uninsured Berkeley Township families, the $189 new patient special covers a complete exam, X-rays, and a healthy mouth cleaning when no periodontal disease is present.
The in-house Friends and Family Membership Plan lowers year-round costs without insurance limits, and financing spreads larger work like implants across manageable payments.

Bayville family questions
Are both dentists women?
A: Yes. Dr. Monica Patel and Dr. Rakhee Patel are both female dentists and run the practice together, so your whole family sees a woman dentist at every visit.
Can my retired parents and my school-age kids all be seen at one practice from Bayville?
A: Yes. The office is set up for multi-generational households and can schedule family members close together to save trips up Route 9. The same two women dentists handle children's preventive care and older adults' restorative and implant work.
My parent needs dentures that stay put. Do you offer implant-supported options?
A: Yes. The practice provides implant-supported dentures, which anchor to dental implants for a more stable fit than traditional removable dentures. Dr. Monica is surgically trained in implant placement, and an evaluation determines candidacy before treatment begins.
My elderly parent takes several medications. Is that a problem for treatment?
A: It is routine to work around. The doctors review medications and general health before treatment, since both affect healing and planning. Bring a current medication list to the first visit and the team will factor it in.
Do you accept insurance, and what if we do not have any?
A: The practice accepts most major dental insurance plans. Without coverage, the $189 new patient special covers an exam, X-rays, and a healthy mouth cleaning when no periodontal disease is present, and a membership plan plus financing keep family care affordable.
