"Best decision I ever made was contacting this dental office. They took care of me immediately, focusing on my needs and the pain I was in without making me feel anything but supported. Everyone was courteous, professional, and genuinely caring. They turned an uncomfortable situation into a manageable one, and I’m so glad I came here. Highly recommend—I can’t speak highly enough of the entire team. I was in and out so fast I didn’t get to thank the doctor as much as I wanted to, so thank you very much for your help!"

"I absolutely love this office and I'm not exaggerating when I say I look forward to my visits. From the moment you enter the staff are incredibly friendly and usually if not always greet you by name, which makes you feel welcomed and cared for. All the doctors and assistants are patient and professional, happy to answer questions and ensure your comfort. The televisions on the ceiling with full control of the remote allows you to choose your own distraction should you wish. On top of the hospitality, the dental work itself is phenomenal. Not only were they able to fix the shoddy workmanship of a prior dentist, but they were able to accommodate me in ways the others refused. Thanks to these wonderful dental care professionals I'm excitedly awaiting my next appointment."
- Melanie
"From the staff to the facility everything about this dental office is great! I highly recommend using them if you are looking for a dentist like I was earlier today. The staff does everything they can to make you feel comfortable about whatever dental issue you may be experiencing. I no longer fear going to the dentist being that this is the dental office I will be using from now on."

"I am so happy my late night google search took me here! I was in major tooth pain from a failed root canal and I was desperate for an emergency visit. I was able to book online and the moment I walked in I felt so comfortable. The young girl in the front desk was so sweet upon registering. I was then taken back by the hygienist who was amazing and thorough!!!! I was then seen by Dr.Ali who has amazing bedside manner and was so down to earth. I had traumatic experiences with the dentist my whole life, and he assured me I will be okay and he will take away the pain. Although the tooth was stubborn and I’m a big baby who cries, Dr. Ali and all his dental assistants were patient and made me feel so comfortable. I will drive an hour each way to continue coming here. This is how a real dental office should be. Thank you a million to Dr. Ali and staff for being so amazing!!"
- Ashley
"I had a fantastic experience at this dental office! From the moment I walked in, the receptionists were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and professional. They made the check-in process smooth and even followed up after my visit to make sure everything went well. The dental cleaning was equally impressive. The hygienist Ashley was gentle, thorough, and took the time to explain everything she was doing, which really put me at ease. My teeth have never felt cleaner!Overall, the whole team creates a calm and caring environment that actually makes going to the dentist cleaning something to look forward too."

"Had an emergency visit today at East Hanover Dental I had never been there before. Dr. Dinani and staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable and each one did their best to make me feel comfortable. The doctor explained everything he did before proceeding and took great care in his procedure. Because I don’t have dental insurance they helped me to set up a finance plan that was comfortable with all involved. I will definitely return and recommend others to go. You won’t be disappointed!"
- Lynne
"I came to Dr. Ali from a recommendation from a family member. I couldn’t be happier about my visit. From the front office staff to dental hygienist Michelle and Dr. Ali, I had the most pleasant experience. I had an emergency appt and the staff made accommodations to get me in asap. I cannot say enough about how great my experience was. Thank you to all the staff for making my appointment as seamless as possible.
