Convenient Access from Woodbridge
Plan on about 12 minutes to drive from downtown Woodbridge to Seth M. Wallerstein DMD, following one road almost the entire way. If you need a dentist Woodbridge, NJ commuters can reach without tolls, our office at 2678 Woodbridge Ave in Edison sits at the far end of Main St, where it changes names at the township line.
From the Woodbridge Municipal Complex at 1 Main St, head west on Main St (CR 514) through the downtown and on through Fords. When you cross into Edison, the same road becomes Woodbridge Ave; stay on it until you reach Stanley Siderski Ave by the Wawa. The trip is about 5.8 miles, and no Turnpike or Parkway driving is needed.
The office is on the second floor of the Beechwood Shopping Plaza, between the Wawa and the College Drive East entrance to Middlesex College, at 2678 Woodbridge Ave, Edison, NJ 08837. Tap our Google Maps pin for live directions. Residents of Fords and Iselin, two other communities within the township, reach us on nearby routes.
A Dental Office Woodbridge Commuters Can Work Around
Woodbridge Township, chartered in 1669, is the oldest original township in New Jersey and part of Middlesex County. The downtown grows out from Main St, with Parker Press Park, the Woodbridge Main Library on George Frederick Plaza and the Barron Arts Center on Rahway Ave all close by. Sewaren, Port Reading and Avenel round out the neighborhoods around it.
Few places in New Jersey are as tied to commuting. The Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway meet within the township, Route 35 runs through the center, and Woodbridge station on Pearl St is a stop on NJ Transit's North Jersey Coast Line. For many households, the workday begins and ends on one of those roads or rails.
Our schedule is built with that in mind. Appointments start at 8:30 AM on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and Wednesday hours stretch until 6 PM. Because our team seats 99% of patients on time, you can plan the rest of the day around your visit with confidence.
Drivers coming from the Route 35 side of town can stay on local streets the whole way: Main St runs west from the center and turns into Woodbridge Ave in Edison. US 1 and I-287 are other toll-free options for anyone already on them, since both connect to Woodbridge Ave (CR 514).
Repairing and Replacing Teeth for Woodbridge Adults
Years of busy schedules can leave behind a cracked molar, a missing tooth or a bridge that no longer fits well. Woodbridge adults often arrive with a mix of these, and Dr. Wallerstein sorts them into a clear plan that tackles the most urgent work first. You see the full cost of each phase before anything begins, and the work can be spaced around your calendar.
A gap from a lost tooth affects more than appearance. Nearby teeth can drift into the space, and chewing shifts to the other side of the mouth. Depending on the situation, a dental implant, a fixed porcelain bridge or a removable partial can fill it.
For patients missing several or all of their teeth, modern dentures and partials are designed to look natural and fit securely. Our TRIOS® intraoral scanner captures digital impressions without the putty trays many people remember, and our CAD-CAM system helps crowns fit precisely.
Sometimes a problem cannot wait for a planned appointment. If a filling falls out or a tooth breaks before work, call us and we will make every effort to see you promptly. New patients can come in for the $19 emergency exam and x-ray, a same-day emergency evaluation that pinpoints the problem and ends with treatment recommendations.
Care Options for Anyone Seeking a Dentist Woodbridge, NJ
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures and partials repair damage and restore a full bite. Each restoration is planned to last and to match the teeth around it. Porcelain options blend in with natural enamel.
Dental Implants
A surgically placed implant replaces the root of a missing tooth and supports a natural-looking crown. Our office offers implant treatment and coordinates each step from consultation to the final restoration.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Healthy gums are the foundation for every crown, bridge or implant. We treat gum infection before restorative work so new teeth rest on solid support. Regular maintenance cleanings keep those results stable.
Preventative Dentistry
Twice-yearly cleanings, exams and oral cancer screenings protect the work you have already invested in. Digital x-rays are taken only when needed, and each exam includes a check of your existing restorations.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Silent Nite® oral appliances can treat mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea as an alternative to CPAP. Before an appliance is made, you may be referred for a sleep study to confirm the diagnosis.
Meet Your Dentist
Dr. Seth Wallerstein has cared for patients in Edison for over 30 years and once led the residency program at J.F.K. Hospital as its director. He stays current through several dental study clubs, holds a fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry and is the only dentist at our office.
Insurance & Financing
Larger restorative plans can be divided sensibly: for multi-visit treatment, half is due when work begins and the remainder on completion. Cherry and CareCredit financing are available, subject to credit approval. Paying by check, cash or debit avoids the 3% credit-card service fee. Patients without any coverage can also ask about the in-house dental plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Seth M. Wallerstein DMD from Woodbridge, and how do I get there?
Our office is about 5.8 miles from the Woodbridge Municipal Complex, around 12 minutes by car. Drive west on Main St (CR 514), which becomes Woodbridge Ave once you enter Edison. That single road makes us a dentist Woodbridge, NJ residents can reach without tolls, and we are on the plaza's second floor.
Which Parkway exit should I use if I drive in from work?
Heading north on the Garden State Parkway, take Exit 127, follow I-287 north for about half a mile, then take Woodbridge Ave (CR 514) west for roughly 2.5 miles. The Parkway is a toll road, so many Woodbridge patients simply use Main St instead. Rush hour adds time on either route.
Should I replace a missing back tooth or leave the gap?
Replacing it is usually the better choice, because nearby teeth can tip into the space over time. The three main options are a dental implant, a fixed bridge or a removable partial. An implant stands alone, while a bridge anchors to the teeth on each side. Dr. Wallerstein explains the pros and costs of each after an exam.
How do you make sure a new crown fits well?
We start with a TRIOS® digital scan instead of a putty impression, which gives a precise 3D model of the tooth and its neighbors. Our CAD-CAM system then uses that model to design the crown. Dr. Wallerstein checks your bite and the edges of the crown carefully before it is cemented in place.
Will your office send claims to my dental insurance?
Yes. Our team submits claims electronically and gives you an out-of-pocket estimate based on real-time eligibility and experience with your provider. Single-visit procedures are paid at the time of treatment. Patients without coverage who pay in full by check, cash or debit receive a 5% discount instead.
