Cosmetic dentistry We work with one of the finest dental technicians in the country to offer you the very best cosmetic dentistry results. No matter your New Jersey restorative dentistry needs, DeFabio Dental Design has the experience and technology to transform your smile and make you proud of your teeth. We are the top dentists in Monmouth County.
Dental Implants Dental implants can be used to replace one tooth, multiple teeth, or all of your teeth. Depending on your needs, we can place crowns, bridges, and even secure dentures using dental implants.

Using proper treatment planning, we are able to create natural-looking restorations for our patients with form and function that significantly improves their quality of life.
Teeth Whitening One of the simplest and most effective cosmetic treatments we offer our patients from our New Jersey dental office is the highest quality teeth whitening. After years of using the many different teeth whitening techniques, we have chosen the KoR Whitening System. This system is considered the most reliable and effective bleaching system available today. The KoR system utilizes the best of all bleaching options to achieve beautiful, healthy, and natural-looking white teeth.
Dental Bridges A dental bridge uses the adjacent teeth to anchor a replacement tooth or pontic in the missing space. In some circumstances, we will place a dental crown first. This helps to keep the surrounding teeth secure and in their place, while also providing a replacement tooth but also creating the appearance of natural teeth.
Family dentistry Whether you need a cleaning, a cavity filled or full oral reconstruction, we have the tools, skills, and experience to treat you. We believe in treating the whole person, not just the teeth. Our team is warm and offers exceptional care. We take time with you to explain your treatment options and make sure you are comfortable.

My family and I have gone to this dental practice for over 30 years. Since the practice is out of network for me, I pay a little more but the quality of care is worth it

I come from quite a distance but it is well worth the effort. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Dr. DeFabio is a masterful dentist who does quality work. When my mother went in for a more extensive procedure, she was truly impressed that she received a call the next day from Dr. DeFabio asking how she was doing. Sonata is an excellent hygienist. She is patient, nice and very hardworking. She is very meticulous about her work. She does an excellent job each and every time.

Dr. DeFabio is an excellent dentist. I have been going to him for 27 years. He has a great sense of humor but when it comes to his work he is all business. If you don't enjoy going to your current dentist you may want to consider switching to Dr. DeFabio. You will not be disappointed.

Dr. Defabio is by far the best dentist I have been to. After seeing another dentist and being told I needed a crown bc my filling was too big I went to him for a second opinion. He replaced a filling and sent me on my way with no crown. I was beyond happy and the treatment was quick and pain free. Recently I went in for a cleaning and was actually able to really see a difference in my teeth. Very through. As I said before I've been to a few dentist in my day and he is without a doubt the best. I cannot see myself going anywhere else in the future.
