Home Dental Services — Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions families, patients and facilities ask us most.
Everything You Need to Know
What are home dental services?
Home dental services (also called mobile or in-home dentistry) bring a licensed dentist and portable dental equipment to the patient's home, assisted living community or nursing facility. Patients receive exams, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, extractions and dentures without traveling to an office.
Is there really a dentist in home in NJ who comes to my house?
Yes. NJ DenTales Group provides a licensed dentist who visits private homes, assisted living communities, nursing homes and group homes throughout New Jersey.
Are you available 24/7?
Yes. Our phone line is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays, and we arrange urgent visits for dental pain and emergencies.
What areas of New Jersey do you serve?
We provide home dental services across New Jersey. See our service areas page or call to confirm coverage for your address.
