Dr. Meetu Singal gave me my life back. After a lot of dental trauma in my life, I grew more and more fearful of dentists. I had a horrible failed root canal that led to 7 years of not seeing a dentist. Teeth were breaking, rotting, but they were in the back where no one could see. In February, one of my small front teeth developed a hole, it kept getting bigger. I finally got the courage to walk into Charming Smile Dental. I even made another appointment for the next day somewhere else incase I didn't feel okay. Let me tell you, Dr. Singal let me talk about all of my fears and anxiety, I cried and she held my hand. There was no judgement here, we just have to work towards a solution. By the end of the appointment we had done half of a deep clean & I was coming back the next day to finish. I cancelled my other appointment and kept going with Dr. Singal. It's been 4 months and we have tackled, a deep cleaning, 6 fillings, 3 root canals (from a specialist referral, they were also fantastic. No pain!) Now 3 fillings & 3 crowns. I have a new smile and a new life. If you are fearful of the dentist I am telling you to come here. She has helped me get my life back and there is no review long enough that could express that. Do not wait any longer! read more

Charming Smile Dental - Before *vulnerable photo* Tooth broken from behind, two terrible crowns that are 14 years old. - General Dentistry Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

See all

Horrible experience. Never going back. They did deep cleaning and now my insurance company denied the claim because the deep cleaning was needed for less than 4 teeth. I was not shown my x-rays before the deep cleaning was done, lack of transparency. I wish I would have known and evaluated my options. They did some cavity filling which also seems unnecessary now that I look back. I also suddenly lost hearing and tinnitus in my right ear the next day after getting my right half deep cleaning. I am immensely upset. read more

This office did a great job with my cleaning and my husband's cleaning! My husband has especially sensitive gums an teeth and usually has to visit dentists more frequently and is usually weary about going to dentists. He felt comfortable with the staff in this office. They were friendly attentive to his sensitivities and knowledgeable. read more

I have not gone to a dentist for 8 years due to a general fear, as most people do. I decided it was time for a check up since I was having teeth sensitivity. At my appointment, I was seen by Dr. Singal and a dental hygienist for preliminary scanning since I was a new patient. I was told I needed to come back for a deep cleaning and have a cavity filled. I was terrified when I came in for the procedures but the staff was sure to make me comfortable and assure me that I would not experience any pain during the procedure. They were right and I was completely pain free afterwards when the numbing gel wore off. I'm SO glad I found Charming Smile and I look forward to my next appointment! read more

First time visiting today and I had a wonderful experience. I have a bit of a fear of dentists that I can't shake after an terrible experience years back. Dr Singal and her dental hygienist, Ting, were fantastic. I've had a lot of dental work years back. I always worry that one day my fillings will all give out at once but Dr Singal reassured me they're in good shape and came up with a plan (that my insurance will cover!) that will keep my teeth and gums healthy. For the first time I've ever experienced at a dentist's offer, no one tried to upsell me on whitening! I have very white teeth and always get annoyed when dentists press on out of pocket whitening services. I asked her about it for my upcoming wedding and she agreed that whitening should be saved for special events and she'd set me up a few months before the wedding with treatments and take home touch ups. They take United Basic Dental Plus PPO plan. Will be back again - wonderful experience! read more

Great dentist In downtown JC. Been a patient for over a year and have only had positive experiences. Staff is friendly, short waits (if any), Netflix in exam rooms, and a great dentist - who's kind and very informative. read more

I've been going to Dr. Meetu for about two years now and the improvement in my dental hygiene has been commendable. Their staff is super friendly and very informative. They demonstrate proper flossing techniques, appropriate mouthwashes etc. They even get to know if I've slacked in my dental routine in the past three months. During my first visit, Dr. Meetu was very honest and upfront with me regarding the condition of my teeth, the procedures she deemed necessary, and the follow up she would require from my end. Her use of visuals and X-rays to explain what she's saying helps a lot. She compares charts from your appointments so you can see the improvements for yourself. Her bedside manner is impeccable and she's very approachable.. The office staff is polite and professional.. and accommodating the few times I've been late. Over and all, definitely recommend! read more

Charming Smile Dental is amazing. I've lived in California, NYC, NJ, and Miami, and this is the best dentist I've ever been to. The customer service is incredible, the quality of the work is flawless, and the accessibility of the office is perfection, Additionally, their flexibility with later appointment times (i.e. 5:30pm after work) is SO HELPFUL. Their equipment is top of the line, their entire office is spotless, and they take a lot of different insurances. I've had two cleanings with them now (and x-rays) and my experiences have been consistent. I originally found them on here on Yelp, and I'm SO GLAD I DID! If you're looking for a dentist in Jersey City, look no further. read more

As someone who has major dental work and is not a fan of the dentist, Dr. Singal has been amazing. I told her right away I was nervous, and she made every effort to make my visits more relaxing and less anxious for me. She explains everything before she does it and make sure I am comfortable before proceeding. Also, super bonus that she has TV's and Netflix on in each room. Watching TV helps me relax and focus on something other than getting the dental work done. I highly suggest you make an appointment with her for those who are not a fan of the dentist. read more

The dentists at Charming Smile have always treated me professionally, regardless of the dentist, and have always been upfront and honest with my dental care. The office is clean, the technology in the office is ahead of most dentist offices that I've been to, and I would without hesitation recommend them to anyone in the area. Always a pleasure guys! read more

Honestly love this place. Never had a good experience with dentists in the past, so i wish i found this place earlier. Have been going to charming smile since last Sept for checkups and invisalign. Aside from the inconsistent receptionists, the entire staff is super friendly, helpful, and professional. I always feel well treated and cared for every time I go (which is at least once a month now thanks to invisalign....) read more

On behalf of my boyfriend who does not have a Yelp account: I had gone a long time without seeing a dentist and choose this office because it had good reviews and was well located for me off the Grove Street PATH Station. The staff was very helpful and suggested a deep cleaning after X-rays found plaque between my teeth below the gum line. The dentist did a great job cleaning my teeth, was always concerned to make sure I was as comfortable as possible, and explained how I could best improve me dental hygiene with new brushing and flossing techniques. I've since made for several return visits with the same great experience each time coupled with their continued attention to detail and how I can keep making improvements. I've had a great experience and highly recommend them to anybody who is in need of a dentist. read more

I really love this place. I have been visiting Dr. Singal for two years now and am very happy with the care that I have received here. The office is very conveniently located near the Grove street path station which makes it super easy to get too from mid-town Manhattan. It is super clean which I really like. I had some gum issues which were taken care of through deep cleaning. Dr Singal is very thorough with her exam and she really wants to make sure I am regular with my visits and more importantly taking care of my teeth and gums at home through flossing and brushing. Highly recommend! read more

This review is Coming from a person who not fan of dentists. Usually the senators just see me once and don't bother to go back to them because of my anxiousness. Dr. Singal have been breath of fresh air compared to other dentists I have visited. She understood my anxiousness guided me through the steps on what was going to happen made me conformation, offered me all the advice I needed and helped me with all my needs. She is awesome I would definitely recommended her. I have already gone back to here 3 times and the 4th appointment is set. Thank you Dr.Singal read more

I was so lucky I found Charming Smile Dental. I came here with a big swelling in my gum and on the verge of losing that tooth. Dr. Meetu took great care of it and was able to save my tooth in the end! I have now moved to New York but I still keep coming back. Charming Smile is the only place I trust to take care of my oral health these days! On top of the highly skillful doctor, the office is ultra clean, the equipment is top-notch and the staffs are so pleasant. read more

My dental health improved a lot since I'm seeing Dr. Meetu! I've been coming here for about two years. I am really happy with her services and keep recommending her to everyone who needs an excellent dentist in the area. She and her team are really welcoming and always on time. They are taking the time to explain each procedure, how to fix my dental problems at home and they never push for any extra procedures. There is no surprise with insurance coverage and deductible. They are always checking with the insurance prior to start anything. The experience is always smooth! I highly recommend her and her team! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Singal's for a year, and I've never been to a better dentist. The staff at Charming Smile is very helpful and accommodating. Scheduling has always been easy and they send reminder texts a couple days before every appointment, with an option to reschedule if you can't make it (I've forgotten a couple of my appointments, so this is really helpful!). As far as procedures, Dr. Singal and the hygienists I've seen are careful and quick to respond if I show any discomfort during a cleaning. From the conversations I've had (teeth-related and otherwise) I can tell they care about their patients beyond the business we bring. I've had both cleanings & fillings done here and all were done carefully and quickly. The explanations of after effects & instructions were always clear and well explained. They also have TVs with Netflix in the exam rooms so you can watch something (Friends is the classic, but it's Netflix so there are plenty of options) rather than just stare at the ceiling. Once, I mistakenly thought a filling had fallen out and made an appointment to make sure. After a short check (and some X-rays) Dr. Singal found that everything was fine, commented that I did the right thing to come in and check, and let me go with no co-pay or insurance involved! That kind of experience keeps me coming back to Charming Smile. I couldn't recommend this place more! read more

Dr. Singal is a great dentist, she is friendly and knowledgeable and took the time with me to really make sure everything needed to be done was taken care of. She even did some spot cleaning post hygienist work, that's a first for a dentist in my experience. Highly recommended if you work or live around downtown Jersey City. Everyone else from front office staff to the hygienist were friendly and great. Best cleaning that I have received in a long time. The office is also relatively high tech and accommodating for a medical office. They have a TV in the room that you can watch Netflix on while you're getting cleaning done and they make the experience pretty low effort on the patient's part by giving you some numbing cream and utilizing a mouth guard that keeps you from having to open and close all the time. read more

This time it was bad experience with root canal not being treated properly and was in extreme pain for weeks. Have done root canal in the past but it Also as never this painful. Also the crown was not of the expected color matching to other teeth. I still have a pain in my ear where the root canal was treated. Would not be visiting for major procedure here. read more

I was helped right on time and have never felt more cared for at a dentist before! My concerns were addressed and I felt great after a painless cleaning. Highly recommend Charming Smile Dental. read more

I've been a patient of Dr Singal for about two years and had at least 4-5 visits without complaints. She's attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. I appreciate her conservative approach to dental care- she's not going to recommend any intervention unless it's necessary. I also appreciate that her hygienists are gentle and have good recommendations. My big dental issue is TMJ pain. Dr Singal strongly recommended I switch from an OTC night guard to a custom option. I am so thankful I trusted her! It was worth the investment to make the switch. I will continue to go to Dr Singal for my dental needs and recommend her to others. read more

My general dentist told me that I needed an implant so I searched online for a reputable dentist office that does implant. I have hated to get anything done in my mouth so I did a lot of research, read a lot of reviews, and compared many dentist offices and finally decided to go with Charming Smile Dental. It was one of the best decisions I have made. I met with Dr. Singal for a consultation. She is the one that does my implant. She is the most amazing dentist I have ever had. During our consultation, she was very patient and explained the whole procedure step by step and what to expect during/after the procedure. She kept asking us if we had any question to make sure we understood every detail. Dealing with dentists have been a nightmare to me but after the consultation, I actually felt so comfortable and I knew i was in good hand. She noticed that I was extremely nervous but she managed to calm me down with her professional and friendly manner. I decided to get the procedure done in that office without any hesitation. I had my tooth pulled which was the first step of getting an implant. I was of course extremely anxious but that's just how i am with everything. I did experience some pain but it might be because I am super sensitive to pain. During the procedure, Dr. Singal never forgot to ask if i was hurting, but I am pretty stoic so I told her no. I know if I told her I was in pain she would have given me more anesthesia. After the procedure, I didn't have any bleeding, and I only had to take ibuprofen for the discomfort or pressure like feeling. I expected my cheek to be swollen cause I didn't really ice it like I was supposed to, but surprisingly after i woke next morning, the little swollen I did have yesterday was already gone and I don't have to take any pain meds at all. She also gave me her number so I could text or call her if anything. What more could a patient ask for? I am totally satisfied with my procedure. Let's see how the actual implant is going to be. I am sure it should be as smooth as it was for the extraction. read more

BEST DENTIST, hands down. I found this place when looking for a dentist upon moving to Jersey City via ZocDoc. She had great reviews, was walking distance to where I lived, so I figured why not give it a go. Everything from wait time to cleaning to scheduling my next appointment went extremely smoothly. I went in for a routine checkup/cleaning; a gentleman there did a splendid job cleaning my teeth, explained what he was doing, and taught me proper brushing techniques that help do a better job at cleaning/preventing cavities. I had x-rays done and we found one minor cavity that she was able to fill right on that day without scheduling another appointment. They have TVs in each room and I was able to watch my favorite Netflix Show while seated. She was so gentle with the injection, filling, everything! She used a mini camera in my mouth to show me what my cavity looked like, how the filling would look, and taught me how to spot a cavity on the x ray (I asked a lot of questions). She was EXTREMELY gentle, knowledgeable, and her whole staff is just remarkable. A++ I will go back and will recommend to anyone for the perfect dentist experience. (Tip: She is open Saturdays as well!) read more

When I lost my insurance last year, I had a decision to make... By choosing to go for an insurance in which Dr. Singal was still my primary dental care, I felt I made the right choice. She and her crew of dental hygienists and assistants (and of course other staff) have been incredible from my first visit. I can always be sure I'm getting the best care, with Dr. Singal always looking out for my teeth's needs. Recently, she saved two previous fillings and helped me with fixing my teeth grinding problem! read more

I am so thankful to Dr. Singal and her awesome team. Put simply, I was unhappy with my teeth and put off going to the dentist for about 5 years. I decided to visit Charming Smile Dental based on its good reviews and proximity to my apartment. I immediately felt at ease with Dr. Singal's kindness and professionalism. She took care of a few cavities I had and we established a really good rapport. When I decided I wanted Invisalign, I didn't hesitate to consult with her. She and her team were very thorough with information on the time frame, payment, and what to expect during the process. Now that I'm almost done with my Invisalign treatment, I'm thrilled to be able to smile with confidence. She even made sure my attachments were off in time for my wedding next month! read more

I've had nothing but positive experiences with Dr. Singal and am happy that she has been my dentist over the last year. I started with a routine cleaning (ok, deep cleaning..who are we kidding) and I had wanted some cosmetic work done and she did not make me feel pressured into it at all. Her work is quality and she uses the latest cutting edge technology to ensure her patients get the best care possible. She does top-notch work and I'm looking forward to my next visit. Would definitely recommend her to all those looking for a good and honest dentist. read more

I couldn't have asked for more. The entire staff is efficient, professional and caring. I went in for an exam and cleaning. As soon as I finished my paperwork they brought me to the exam room. The facilities are pristine. The dentist was lovely and communicative. She answered all my questions (I'm very inquisitive) and then some! The hygienist cleaned with precision and care. I've already recommended a friend. I'm glad I found this office. read more

BEST DENTIST EVER. The office and equipment are top notch, the entire staff is amazing, and Dr. Singal puts up with my nervous vibes like a boss -- all while doing impeccable work! I've been coming here ever since moving to JC a few years ago and have been consistently impressed with every visit. I highly recommend Charming Smile Dental :) read more

I recently moved to JC and had to find all new doctors-I have gone back here for several cleanings now and recommend them! Dr. Singal is honest, kind, and good! I had a filling I had to get re-done and have had no issues at all, which is uncommon for me. I normally have to go back and get fillings touched up, but here it was good the same-day. The tech and receptionist are nice, efficient, and sweet! She cares about the health of your teeth enough to take time to teach you about how to improve- Found my new dentist! read more

One of the best doctors visits I've ever had. The process of booking an appointment was quick and wait time was minimal. Dr Singal is extremely professional and kind. She walks you through everything and ensures that you know what is going on. Her technology is also wonderful and allows for transparency. The camera projects the images on the TV screen and you get to see what is going on in your mouth as she walks you through the explanation. She was never pushy and made it a point to note that she was happy to work with me whenever I felt comfortable. The dental hygienist was just as helpful and professional. She explained step by step what she was going to do and went in depth about preventative care. I loved that each room had Netflix so while you're getting your cleaning done you get to enjoy some Friends (while its still on Netflix)! I would happily recommend Dr Singal to ALL as she is kind, extremely smart and everything you are looking for in a good dentist. read more

After a lot of years of no insurance, I've finally got it again, and I know I've got some issues going on. I was really hoping to find a great local dentist with flexible hours, where I could start to get my dental health back on track. Unfortunately, I got a really weird vibe here, and will not be returning. I will start off by saying that, for the most part, the staff is caring and very kind. The office is clean, and modern. My first impressions were favorable. However, I scheduled an annual cleaning. They did not do a cleaning, but they did x-rays. Dr Singal showed me the findings, along with some footage from a small camera, on the tv screen. What she was saying made sense- as I mentioned, I know things aren't great in this particular area of my life and I admitted as much. But I felt a little... passive aggressively shamed, to the point where I became very upset. The doctor basically told me two of my teeth weren't in great shape, and kept repeating that we would come up with a plan. She kept repeating this, but aside from the fact that I needed to have work done, it remained unclear what this plan was exactly. She said she felt bad, because my smile was really beautiful, and although the sentiment was sweet, it was really rather unprofessional. I know I've got some problems, I came to you (the person who fixes these kind of problems) to fix them. There's a "plan". What is there to feel bad about? I didn't exactly feel reassured. When I asked about "the plan", the doctor sort of mumbled, listed some things, and made a comment that we would "talk about diet". I know that's part of her job, but I was really put off by the insinuation that the work I needed was somehow caused by poor diet when we had scarcely discussed lifestyle, particularly since I had already been very forthright about my lack of financial ability to care for my teeth. I had to point out that it might be genetic, particularly since the cavities weren't surface- and she reluctantly agreed and expounded on that. After Dr Singal left the room, a man walked in with a clipboard and introduced himself. He explained that he deals with insurance, and that's where things got super shady for me. He flat out said it "would be expensive". When I asked about payment plans, he said most of the patients use some sort of dental care credit card but that the interest is so high that it's not really worth it. I asked how much the procedures would cost, and he could not (or would not) give me a straight answer. I've never been to a dental office in my life where they could not tell me the cost of procedures upfront. He pointed out that insurance money rolls over either in the new year or on the anniversary of the insurance, and advised me to find out when mine did so we could schedule accordingly. He also recommended that I switch my dental plan, to make more insurance money available. I honestly felt like his sole job was to make sure the office could collect as much cash as humanly possible in the sneakiest way. As I was leaving, I was told that I should make a tentative appointment. For what, I asked? Of course, they couldn't tell me. Their response, which had nothing to do with my question, was that I could reschedule if I wanted but they wanted to get me on the books. Um, okay. When I asked again, they asked if I wanted to talk to the doctor. Since she wasn't clear about what "the plan" entitled either, I did not feel comfortable moving forward until I looked at my other options. Overall, this office left a bad taste in my mouth. (Haha, get what I did there?) They were consistently nice; When they texted me a reminder to schedule my appointment, I informed them that I was getting a second opinion, and they offered to send me my x-rays. But I just couldn't get over the vague responses and the overwhelming push to collect as much of my money as they could. Note: When I got the second opinion elsewhere, there was a lot that Charming Smile neglected to mention. Despite the fact that they were quick to discuss money for "the plan", there was a lot they missed in their initial consultation, such as a root canal that was poorly done years ago, and fillings that not sealing certain teeth entirely anymore. Perhaps instead of making me feel badly for my lifestyle and wasting half of my time with a money man who refused to answer any of my questions in a straightforward way, they could have devoted that time to conducting a thorough consultation and making sure I really understood every aspect of the care they could offer. read more

Dr. Meetu is the BEST doctor. She is extremely organized, professional, knowledgeable, friendly and good at her work. She takes time to listen to your concerns & problems and she helps you understand things in a simpler language. She offers helpful tips and suggestions which are always very effective. She makes sure that her patients feel comfortable in each and every procedure or visits and she allows you to take your time without rushing into anything. I would highly recommend her to anyone. The office staff is also very pleasant and professional to work with and my each office visit experience has been a pleasant experience. I hope this helps. read more

Dr. Singhal is excellent at her work. The office is nice. Always have a pleasant visit every time I am here. Highly recommend for anyone living in the area to come and get checked up! read more

I am a person who is very scared of the dentist no matter what. But this place have been so amazing that for the first time I can say that, I always look forward to come back for my regular cleaning. Hands down, the best place!! read more

Have been coming to see Dr. Singal for 3 years and will continue to do so. Explanations are always thorough and clear. Patient care has been always a positive experience. I always come in to this dentist whenever I'm in town in JC. read more

Wow! I have to say something about my dentist. The place is clean and organized. They play Friends on Netflix while you wait. But that's not the point. The real good stuff is that the dentist and hygienist are amazing. They truly care about your oral health, and get aggressive to make sure you are keeping it on point. I need a dentist who holds me accountable, and they are it. I've been through so many dentists, and this is the one you should go to if you care about yo teeth. read more

Had gone here based on the Yelp reviews. The deep cleaning she performed was pathetic at best and the fillings placed were poorly done. Not what I'd expect of a dentist of her supposed caliber. Stay clear of this place. read more

This is the absolute best dental experience I've ever had (and I'm 45 years old). The hygienist is so caring and sweet and patient. And Dr. Singal is the best dentist I've ever seen. She took the time to walk me through everything and explain exactly what she was doing. Is it weird I'm excited to return...to the dentist?! Highly recommend. read more

Based on the reviews, I would have expected more. Extremely unhelpful and unprofessional front desk staff. The guy couldn't tell me if they took my insurance even though they're listed on Ameritas' website as an in-network provider. After taking my insurance plan details and demanding the policy holder's social security number (which is not necessary), he expected for me to do his job and call and verify that the office is in-network. Fed up, I demanded that they destroy their record of the policy holder's SS and refused to make an appointment with them. Sketchy and unprofessional. read more

My experience has been outstanding thus far. They take really good care your teeth and provide the best advice on dental hygiene. They were very gentle with the fillings that were required and helped providing the best night guard for teeth grinding. I highly recommend Charming Smile Dental. read more
