The First Tooth
We recommend a first visit around the time the first tooth appears, or by age one. Early visits let us monitor development from the beginning and give children a chance to get comfortable before any treatment is needed.
Pennington, NJ · All Ages Welcome
Now offering adult dentistry to provide comprehensive dentistry for the entire family
Built with integrity and attention to detail.
Why Families Choose POP Smiles
Most dental offices ask you to go somewhere else the moment care gets complex. We built POP Smiles to be different. Our team of specialist and general dentists works together to provide the specialty care you need right here in our office. Our integrated specialty practice means your child can receive a pediatric cleaning, get fitted for a palate expander, and have a cavity treated with a tooth-colored filling all in one visit, with one trusted team.
For adults, that same convenience extends to cosmetic and restorative services, including veneers, implant crowns, and orthodontic treatment with clear aligners. With more than 35 years of combined clinical experience, our team brings a level of stability, continuity, and trust that helps make comprehensive dental care more convenient for families throughout the Mercer County region.
About POP Smiles
Walk into POP Smiles and you will notice immediately that this is not the dentist's office from when you were a kid. Our Pennington location is bright, colorful, and designed to put patients of all ages at ease. We use advanced technology including iTero digital scanning and low-radiation digital radiographs to provide precise, comfortable care. Our team is trained to speak with children in friendly, reassuring language, and our entire office environment is built to reduce dental anxiety from the moment you walk through the door. We combine that welcoming atmosphere with the clinical rigor of a fully specialized practice, so patients never have to choose between comfort and quality.

Our Advantages
Our goal at POPsmiles is to make family dental care effortless. No referrals, no separate offices, no repeating your history to a new provider. Just consistent, specialized care from a team that knows your family.
Pediatric, orthodontic, and general dental care all available at our Pennington, NJ office. No external referrals needed for most treatments.
We offer airway orthodontics, an expanded approach that considers how the jaws, palate, and teeth may affect breathing and sleep quality. By addressing the connection between bite alignment, mouth breathing, and sleep health, we provide more comprehensive orthodontic care for children and teens.
We use zirconia crowns and white composite fillings for both children and adult patients. These materials are durable, natural-looking options that provide long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing results for every patient’s smile.
Decades of Care. Built on Trust.
At POPsmiles, you aren't just seeing a dentist; you are joining a family. Our dentists, orthodontist, office manager and team offer decades of stability, ensuring that the familiar faces you trust are here for you and your family at every single visit.
Airway orthodontics addresses the link between bite alignment, mouth breathing, and sleep-disordered breathing. If your child snores, breathes through their mouth, or shows signs of sleep apnea, orthodontic expansion therapy may be part of the solution. This is one of our most important clinical differentiators.
Angel aligners are our clear aligner system of choice for adults seeking a discreet path to straighter teeth. Treatment follows a six-week checkup schedule, helping reduce the number of office visits while keeping your progress on track.
Monolithic zirconia (White) crowns are the premier restorative option for children with visible decay on front teeth. They are metal-free, hypoallergenic, biocompatible, and natural-looking, offering durability and aesthetics for highly visible areas.
If your teeth have shifted after completing orthodontic treatment, we provide relapse care and replacement retainers to help you get back on track. Maintaining your results is just as important as achieving them, and our team is here to help at any stage.
Early or interceptive orthodontic treatment, often called Phase One, is designed for children around age 4 when certain bite and alignment issues are best addressed before all permanent teeth have erupted. Palate expansion and other appliances can guide jaw development and reduce the complexity of later treatment.
BPA-free dental sealants act as protective barriers over the deep pits and grooves of back molars, where cavities most commonly form in children. Applied quickly and painlessly, sealants are one of the most cost-effective preventive tools we offer for young patients.
For patients focused on the appearance of their smile, we offer teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and composite bonding. These services are available to adult patients at our Pennington location alongside all of our other general and specialty care.
Our adult restorative services include fillings, periodontal scaling, root canals, dental implants, implant crowns, bridges, and dentures. We use digital imaging to plan restorative work with precision, with a focus on preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.
Every Age, One Practice
From a first tooth to an adult smile makeover, every stage happens in the same bright office with the same team — no referrals, no starting over.
We recommend a first visit around the time the first tooth appears, or by age one. Early visits let us monitor development from the beginning and give children a chance to get comfortable before any treatment is needed.
Our dentist will determine whether your child requires early orthodontic evaluation. They consider habits such as mouth breathing, thumb sucking, and clinical examination of extreme crowding, crossbite or overbite. Early treatment of these symptoms can prevent far more complex problems from developing in the future.
Orthodontic care is not just about aesthetic teeth straightening. Correcting your bite, and straightening teeth helps to improve your overall health by addressing jaw function, structural and bite issues. Straight and properly spaced teeth help our patients floss and brush better to keep the plaque and stubborn food particles from developing into cavities.
The same practice your children grew up in handles your root canals, implant crowns, bridges and dentures, plus KOR teeth whitening, bonding, and porcelain veneers — no separate office, no starting over.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Our orthodontic services are available to patients of all ages, not just children and teens. Adults can choose between traditional metal or ceramic braces and Angel clear aligners depending on their preference and clinical needs. Adult patients with sleep apnea, mouth breathing, and snoring can also benefit from expansion. Our orthodontist uses a MARPE (miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expander) to widen the upper jaw. Many adult patients are also candidates for our relapse care program if their teeth have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment. Our team will assess your situation and walk you through the options that make the most sense for your goals.
