A female dentist just up Route 9
When you search for a female dentist in Beachwood, you are usually after two things at once: a woman provider, and one who is close enough to see regularly. This practice gives you both. Both dentists are women, and the office sits about 7 minutes and 4 miles north along Route 9, close enough to feel like the dentist down the road.
Beachwood is a bedroom community without a dental cluster of its own, so residents already drift toward Toms River for care. Dr. Monica Patel and Dr. Rakhee Patel give that drift a destination: two women dentists who run the office themselves, so you see the same faces every visit rather than rotating associates.
When something goes wrong on a weekday
A woman dentist you can actually reach in an emergency is worth a lot. A cracked tooth, a lost crown, or a sudden ache becomes a quick drive up Route 9 rather than a long wait. The practice holds time for same-day emergency visits, so you get relief fast and the underlying problem gets handled at the same appointment.
You do not need to be an existing patient to call when you are in pain. Beachwood residents who have never been in are welcome to reach out for an urgent visit.
Hours that fit a working week
Getting in matters as much as getting seen. The office runs Monday and Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Wednesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with Friday by appointment. Those midweek evening hours give Beachwood commuters a way to see a female dentist after work without taking a day off.
Appointments run on time, which for a 4-mile trip means you are in and out without losing the afternoon.
Meet the women behind the practice
Dr. Rakhee Patel sums up the approach: “I love helping patients feel confident in their smiles, but just as importantly, I want them to feel comfortable in the process.” Born and raised in Texas, she earned her DMD from the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health, where she was named Best Dental Student of the Year, and trained at Lutheran Medical Center.
Dr. Monica Patel, born and raised in New Jersey, earned her DMD from the University of Pennsylvania and completed her residency at Stony Brook. “I believe dentistry should feel calm, clear, and deeply personal. For many people, even making the appointment is the hardest part.” Both are certified Invisalign providers and members of the American and New Jersey Dental Associations, with advanced training through the Pankey Institute and Spear Education.
Driving directions from Beachwood
From Beachwood, take Route 9 north toward Toms River. Follow Route 9 as it crosses into Toms River, then turn toward Hooper Avenue and continue to Oak Avenue. The office is at 222 Oak Avenue, Suite 8, just off Hooper, with on-site parking so you skip the busiest downtown blocks.
The whole run is about 7 minutes and 4 miles, mostly a straight shot up Route 9. Because the turn-in is off Hooper rather than the main downtown drag, you avoid circling for a spot.
Everything under one roof
Most of what your household needs lives in one office: routine exams and cleanings, fillings, and preventive care for adults and children, plus cosmetic work, Invisalign, and tooth replacement with implants. The clinical approach is minimally invasive, preserving healthy tooth structure wherever possible.
Because everything sits in one place, a cleaning that turns up a cavity can lead straight into a plan, and a cosmetic question gets answered in the same chair.

Common questions from Beachwood
Is the dentist I will see actually a woman?
A: Yes. Both dentists, Dr. Monica Patel and Dr. Rakhee Patel, are women, and they run the practice together. A search for a female dentist in Beachwood lands you at an office where you will see a woman dentist every time.
I cracked a tooth and I am not a current patient. Can I get a same-day visit from Beachwood?
A: Yes. Call as soon as it happens. The practice reserves time for same-day emergencies and you do not need an existing chart to be seen. From most of Beachwood the office is about 7 minutes up Route 9, so relief is close.
Is there easy parking, or will I deal with downtown traffic?
A: The office sits at 222 Oak Avenue just off Hooper Avenue with parking on site, so you avoid the busiest downtown blocks. For Beachwood drivers coming up Route 9, the turn-in is straightforward.
I can only come after work. Do your hours help?
A: Wednesday and Thursday the office stays open until 6 p.m., which gives Beachwood commuters a way to see a female dentist after the workday. Friday is available by appointment if a weekday evening does not fit.
Can I get a same-day appointment for a dental emergency?
A: Yes. The practice holds time for same-day emergency visits for toothaches, broken teeth, lost crowns, and dental trauma. Call as early as you can so the team can get you relief and address the cause at the same appointment.
