Dental Arts Group - Manahawkin

I was seen soon as I checked in.
They was pleasantly surprised that I had asked questions & made sure that that any concerns I had was told & addressed. Darcy did a great job. I am glad she is my dental hygienist. I hope she will continue to be my hygienist.

Dr. Strait and the entire staff are consummate professionals, and manage to make you feel comfortable with entire process. Options spelled out thoroughly and I’ve never felt more informed about a procedure. Cannot say enough or recommend more strongly!

While I have been a satisfied DAG patient for years, a recent and rare dental emergency required an appointment ASAP. Two hours later I was in the chair and my issue was resolved. I was reminded that you can Have peace of mind and rely on them for a fast and courteous response in emergency situations.

Well my first appointment with Dr. Strait and Diane, the Dental hygienist was literally the best experience ever!! Diane provided a thorough explanation of every step of my comprehensive evaluation with an emphasis on making me feel comfortable and at ease! Then, Dr.Strait gave me his recommendations and also provided an explanation for everything. I left the appointment feeling like I will be in good hands moving forward with necessary treatment needed. From making the appointment to leaving the office, every staff member was personable and obviously caring. I’m so blessed to have found this practice!

Everyone here is very friendly and make your dental visit enjoyable. Nobody likes going to the dentist but here you feel very comfortable.

I recently moved to the area and found this practice that came highly recommended on Facebook. I walked in and was immediately impressed by smiles and nice staff the entire way. Dr. Straight and his helper (I forgot her name now!) who took my xrays were such a good team together!!!! I need a lot of work done and Cali at the check out explained to me my entire bill and gave me choices to help me financially. This office is a hidden gem in my book!!! I am a Dental Arts Group lifer thanks to the good staff and Doctor!!!!! TEN STARS!!!!

I recently moved to the area and needed to find a new dentist (which is one of my least favorite doctor visits, so of course I was already nervous). I heard great things about Dental Arts Group and figured I would give it a try. My BF used them a few weeks before and was raving about how great the service was. I waited for no longer than 10 minutes. Although I do not remember the techs name she was phenomenal, walked me through everything step by step and very friendly. Then Tamara came in to do my cleaning and was very personable. Kept asking if I was okay and finished quickly. Then the Dr. Last came in Dr. Straight who yet again was phenomenal, personable & caring. I had a great experience and am so happy that I finally found a Dentist that I do not mind going to! It truly showed me that it’s not about the doctor itself, it’s the staff that makes a difference.

Dental Arts Group offered a last minute emergency visit just before a holiday weekend. Dr Strait and staff provided great customer service and extraordinary care. Welcoming and professional staff. Great group!thank you!

The entire staff was incredibly friendly,. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the visit. The dental team was very thorough with my exam and cleaning, and I appreciated how professional and detail-oriented they were. It’s not always easy to find a dental office where you feel truly cared for—especially since I was nervous coming to a new office. Highly recommend!

My Dental Cleaning was terrific. I was with Gina again who did a thorough cleaning and touched on importance of my return in a 4 month period. She is a professional and pleasant person.

First visit. Facility is clean and bright. Reception was friendly. After a short wait, I was taken to a room. Panarex and other X-rays were done by Jill. Darcy did my cleaning. It was a very gentle cleaning. I then saw Dr Strait. He showed me a cracked tooth on the imaging. He recommended a plan to fix the tooth. I agreed to the plan. We will fix that tooth soon. I am happy I selected this practice for my dental care.

Posting this on behalf of my husband—the big ol’ teddy bear of a man who would rather wrestle a grizzly than go to the dentist.

From the dawn of time (or at least from the moment we scheduled the appointment), the office staff was nothing short of amazing! They juggled his wild work schedule like seasoned circus performers and made booking a breeze. I was even able to fill out online forms ahead of time and warn them that my husband approaches dental visits like a cat approaches a bath—with pure dread.

But let me tell you, this team actually read what I wrote (a rarity these days)! From the front desk to the assistant, the hygienist, and the dentist, every single person was kind, patient, and took their time with him. For the first time in forever, he walked out of a dentist's office feeling comfortable—which is a miracle considering he's bounced between four different offices before finally finding the one.

Then came his second appointment with Diane the hygienist, who tackled his deep cleaning like a total pro. My husband had nothing but great things to say about her, which is shocking because, again—dentist visits are usually his personal nightmare.

Long story short: This place is awesome, the staff is top-tier, and they even take our insurance (which is rarer than a unicorn around here). If my big, tough, dentist-fearing husband gives them a thumbs up, you know they’re doing something right!

He has more dental work coming up, so I’ll update this review as we go. But so far, 10/10 would recommend!
