On vacation last week my 6 unit bridge fell out into the ocean! I found Dr Courey on Google. If you are going through a bad time the best you can hope for sometimes is to just be surrounded by great and caring people. Well. I hit the jackpot. From the first photo call speaking with dawnwho was so kind and accommodating. Walking in for the first time the staff acted like they knew me personally. Offered coffee or water. Christina spent time with me going over my dental and medical history.
She took moment's to get to know me personally and was so professional and friendly. Meeting Dr Courey for tthe first time was an honor He exudes layers of kindness, perfectionism, and went out of his way to accommodate me. He did not want me to go into Thanksgiving with no teeth in the front so he squeezed me into the busy schedule after he brilliantly came up with a short term plan for me to have teeth. Chrissy scheduled me in with compassion and smiles. Dr Courey brought a couple of his "right hand" people in to meet me so they would know what the plan was His office is literally a well oiled machine that functions so cohesively. Karen and Shannon' took great care of me on my second visit. Shannon was cool. Calm and collected while preparing the impressions and worked with great skill while conversing and exuded compassion. I have had dental anxiety my whole adult life and they made me feel like family. I never felt judged for poor dental health

Although my mom lives in Queens, I will continue to pick her up there and drive her here to see Dr. Courey for her cleanings and denture check-ups and maintenance. Dr. Courey, Cristina and everyone at the office is knowledgeable, professional and friendly. My elderly mom's issues were taken care of with the utmost care. The process, materials and costs were discussed thoroughly as the work progressed. My questions were answered and instructions were given clearly.

Went to see Dr Diaz today for some pain in my jaw. Not only the office staff accommodated me in a few hours notice they impressed me with their professionalism and behavior. Dr Diaz did an excellent job explaining everything. Very impressed with him. I had visited them back in 2017 and had seen Dr Courey that time. He was extremely good too. Recommend their office for all your dental needs.

This was by far the nicest practice that I have ever visited. The staff is beyond helpful and friendly. The doctors are top notch. Dr. Diaz went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable with every step of the process regarding the making of my night guard. They take the time to explain, don't rush you, and most importantly actually care. I can't say enough wonderful things about Specialized Dentistry.

Whatever I say, I can never say enough about this office. They are accommodating, professional and miracle workers! I had a very gummy smile and felt very conscious about it right before my wedding. I called Specialized Dentistry of NJ and after my consultation they fit me right into their schedule to make sure I had the smile I dreamed of. Dr. Corey did a gingivectomy and was so kind and gentle throughout the procedure.
My gums healed within a week! I now have an amazing smile and feel more confident and beautiful than I ever did before. Thank you to the team and Dr. Corey for making my dream smile come true!

My situation was dire, and I was abused as a child by my first dentist. Growing up I had to (out of absolute necessity) to visit other dentists and I felt berated and looked upon in disgust by other dentists and staff throughout my 20s and 30s. Fast forward to age of 41, and my bottom bridge fell off and was held in place by gravity. I couldn't talk, eat, nor enter any public space without wearing a mask.
I entered the office and I was welcomed without judgment and dignity. They assured me that this is the last stop for patients with dental problems like mine. And proceeded to make me feel confident. I had to visit my in laws for the first time ever in Across the country and my lower bridge fell out 3 weeks prior and was held in only by gravity. If i said the wrong vowel, ate food, went to sleep my 5 tooth bridge would fall out. Dr. Diaz, Shannon, and Chrissy made me feel like Royalty.
There would be little distinction between my treatment and the President of the united states. They fixed my problem within two weeks and more importantly feel confident with a perfect smile. I cannot thank them enough and receive my highest praise. New comers please feel at ease coming here. They treat people how they expect to be treated which is rare now-a-days. Gregg

I am so thrilled with finding such an extraordinary dental practice. For the last 20 years I went to Manhattan. I switched over to this practice after Covid and I have been more than happy. From the front desk with amazing people like Chrissy and Dawn, who always have a smile and information if I need it. Dr. Diaz and Shannon, his assistant are. always professional, and knowledgeable Everyone here exhibits the highest standards. Are you sure I am not a relative, and Neighbor were friends of any of these people. I just think he would be exceptionally lucky if you chose them as your dental practice.

I am so excited. For 20 years I went to a dentist in New York City. Once Covid hit and I was staying in New Jersey I was really concerned about finding a dental practice that matched the experience I had before. I was talking to my chiropractor who suggested that I visit this practice. I am beyond myself. They are all professional, knowledgeable, communicate very well and are such a pleasure to be with.
This week I had my appointment with one of their dental hygienists, Arianna. I have a complicated dental situation. Over the years I've had last lots of work. Working with a new person made me feel vulnerable. Arianna was easy, relaxed and so knowledgeable. It was such a pleasure to be with her. I'm so grateful to have found this practice.

I'd like to take the time to acknowledge the Specialized Dentistry Group of New Jersey, headed up by Dr. James Courey, DDS, located in Manalapan, New Jersey. I found this group to be professional, knowledgeable and courteous often anticipating my comfort throughout my many appointments. I'd like to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to the front office managers and assistant's to Dr. Courey, that somehow, make it all happen.
They are: Chrissy, Dawn, Christina and Karen in addition to the many unsung hero's behind the scene. Dr. James Courey, DDS who deserves my sincere thanks and gratitude for his professional knowledge and execution of what turned out to be a great success. Thank you! you are indeed a credit to the dental industry. Edward O'Donnell

Visited for Zoom teeth whitening. Had such a wonderful experience with Adrianna - she was so sweet and very thorough. It was such a relaxing treatment and my teeth came out sparkling white! I was even able to get trays made to be able to do teeth whitening touch ups at home once needed. Highly recommend.

I've been in and out of dentist's offices most of my life.not including the regular cleaning and cavity. Between general, specialist, periodontist, prosthodontist.this has been an experience I've never had before. From the initial phone call with Dawn (super nice and very patient).especially after they read my email lol, to confirmation of. appt, my first time visit and now my second.outstanding experience! Honestly, I've never had a doctor that actually sat with me and went over my entire history form that was filled out at my first appt and then go over it again at my second appt like Dr Courey did.very patient with all my questions too! Shannon made me feel absolutely comfortable and was extremely gentle. Chrissy.also extremely helpful and very honest. I could have stayed for hours talking to everyone. I would definitely recommend Specialized Dentistry to everyone no matter how big, small or complicated your issue is!

I'm a new patient, new to NJ and Chrissy at the front desk was very accommodating and scheduled an appointment quickly. She reviewed all their services and helped me when I came for my appointment. The hygienist Ariana was excellent, she explained everything through the process. The cleaning was great.

Words cant even describe how i feel at this moment as I write this review I had to gather myself as I sat in my car with tears of pure joy streaming down my face I met Dr Courey and Dr Diaz and their wonderful staff June of 2018 after going to another practice that gave me a botch crackerjack smile to put it lightly. I had to find specialists to fix my smile, I felt ugly and actually I haven't smiled since 2018. Dr Courey and Dr Diaz and staff are compassionate and professional and the best of the best!
From our first meeting the consistency and care was above and beyond! Dr Courey you are a true ARTIST thank you for giving me my smile back. Dr Diaz thank you for taking care of me with my Ortho part of my treatment plan without you my smile wouldn't be in place. You know what they say sometimes it takes a village.well I found my forever village THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART XOXOX

Bruce MacFarland I went to Dr. Courey after a miserable year of suffering with ridiculous looking implants done by a regular dentist. I tried to live with the result, but it was awful and was an awful waste of money. I got a recommendation to try Dr. Courey. From day one, the experience was completely different. Dr. Courey was sympathetic, absolutely thorough, and honest about what it would take to restore my look and bite to something approaching my original smile.
He outlined the options, explaining which would suffice, which would be best for a longterm outcome, and explained the difference in cost and time. I opted for the intensive work. Dr. Courey is a perfectionist. I was amazed by the time and care he took to ensure every single detail (many I couldn't even understand--angles and measurements, etc.) was perfect.
I am happy to say that I am completely thrilled with the outcome. I never imagined I could have my old, original smile back, but I do! Lesson learned: do not go to your regular dentist and expect a specialist's outcome. Go to a prosthodontist, and if at all possible, go to Dr. Courey. He and his staff are friendly, genuine, terrific professionals. I cannot say enough about this practice. I showed my new smile to my family, friends, and girlfriend - they were all amazed. Thanks again - you are the best.

There are no words to adequately describe the positive, professional, expert, and ARTISTIC! care I received from Dr. Courey and the amazing staff at Specialized Dentistry. I had a problematic front tooth for so long, I never expected such a wonderful, functional and aesthetically pleasing outcome. I'm still in shock. They treat the patient with care and take the time needed to adequately assess what's needed and desired.
Then they use their skills to exceed your expectations. I should also say, there is no effort to push the most expensive solution to an issue.only a knowledgeable review of the options and a collaborative decision on treatment. There is no question. If you have dental needs, this is the place to go.
