Patients tell us it’s the people, the comfort, and the consistency. Dr. Ravi Shah and the Ocean Shore Dentistry team are known for personalized care that prioritizes your comfort and long-term health. Our advanced tools, friendly team, and welcoming atmosphere keep patients coming back year after year – some drive from an hour away. Many have been with us for more than two decades.
To us, dentistry isn’t just about treating teeth; it’s about treating people. That means listening closely, understanding your priorities, offering treatment options that fit your budget and lifestyle, and doing everything we can to help you feel comfortable and respected at every visit.
We recommend visiting the dentist twice a year for routine cleanings and checkups. These visits help identify issues early, protect your gums, and maintain your smile’s long-term health. If you’re experiencing pain, swelling, or other symptoms between appointments, don’t wait — we offer emergency care and welcome walk-ins.
After 42 years in practice and 36 years at Alan G. Stern, DDS, Dr. Stern and his wife, Fran, who worked alongside him in the office, have both retired. Before stepping away, Dr. Stern carefully chose Dr. Ravi Shah to carry on the practice with the same dedication to personalized, compassionate care.

Steps:
You’re not alone—and dental anxiety is something we take seriously. While Dr. Ravi Shah does not use nitrous oxide, he offers safe and effective alternatives to help you feel calm, comfortable, and in control during your visit. These may include:
We’ll talk through your comfort level before treatment and recommend the option that best fits your needs.
Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners to gently move teeth.
Free whitening gel at the end of treatment
Clear aligners can address many bite issues, including mild to moderate overbites, crossbites, gaps, and crowding. Severe cases may need braces or surgery.
We’ll help you choose the best fit for your needs and budget.
No — modern veneers require minimal enamel removal and can actually strengthen teeth when placed correctly.
Sensitivity may be caused by worn enamel, gum recession, decay, or a new cavity. We’ll identify the cause and recommend treatment.
Most adults benefit from a cleaning every six months. Patients with gum issues may need more frequent visits.
Still have a question? We’d love to help.
We start with a conversation: what you like, what you don’t, and what your “ideal” smile looks like.
Then, we gather the details—typically photos and a digital scan—so we can evaluate your teeth, bite, and smile line.
After that, we’ll review the best options for your goals.
Depending on your needs, that could include whitening, bonding, veneers, crowns, clear aligners, or minor gum reshaping. You’ll leave with a clear plan, timeline, and choices—no guessing.
Every smile is different, so the cost depends on the treatments involved.
For example, veneers in New Jersey typically range from $899 to $2,000 per tooth, depending on material, number of teeth, and case complexity.
The best way to get an exact quote is to schedule a complimentary cosmetic consultation so Dr. Shah can evaluate your smile and discuss your options.
Veneers can improve the appearance of mild crookedness by reshaping and aligning the visible surface of your teeth.
However, if your teeth are significantly misaligned or your bite requires correction, Dr. Shah may initially recommend clear aligners or another orthodontic option to achieve the healthiest long-term result.
